Speaking of routers, everyone must be familiar with it, whether it is at home, school or unit, in order to meet the needs of the Internet, you must have a router. But as demand has increased, there are many router brands, and there are good and bad brands. Once a poor quality router is selected, the experience is very poor. Here's an analysis for you, how to choose a good quality router, let you swim the network.
First, the big brand is guaranteed
When we buy mobile phones, computers and other products on a daily basis, we will pay great attention to the brand. Buying a router and paying attention to the brand must also be considered. Although it can't guarantee 100% quality, the quality and after-sales of big brands are guaranteed. Brands such as TP-link, D-link, and Mercury all have good products.
Remind friends not to buy some products produced by small factories, because the quality of small manufacturers is uneven, and can not provide stable after-sales service.
Second, the parameters in the mouth of the business are not necessarily reliable
We all know that some parameters of the router are important manifestations of the functional effects, such as wireless standards, transmission rates, signal coverage, and so on. When the merchant introduces the router parameters, it is not necessarily consistent with the actual product, so we can't listen to them when buying. Please take a detailed look at the information on the box and check the signs that the wood has been unpacked. . Here are a few points to note:
1, the standard is different 54M and 300M do not confuse
There are two mainstream wireless standards supported by wireless router products, one is IEEE 802.11g and the other is 802.11n. The so-called IEEE 802.11g standard is the 54M wireless router we often say, and the 802.11n standard is the 300M wireless router. Some merchants will use the 54M wireless router to act as a 300M wireless router, so you should pay special attention to the wireless standard when you purchase.
At present, the speed of wireless routers is mainly marked with 150M, 300M, 450M, 600M, 750M and more than Gigabit. The value here is higher and higher, but the higher the price, the more expensive. For home users, when choosing a wireless router, it is usually selected between 150M, 300M and 450M. The wireless router with speed above 450M basically belongs to Enterprise level, the price is very high, so the average user is not worth recommending.
2, wireless coverage should be cautious
The strength and coverage of the router signal is undoubtedly the most concerned by consumers, which is also the most consumers of many routers. Many routers claim that "indoor 100 meters, outdoor 400 meters" is actually an ideal value, it will be affected by various factors such as walls, metal doors, etc., and will vary with the network environment. Under normal circumstances, indoors can have better wireless signals within 50 meters, and outdoor is generally only about 100 meters. If the wireless coverage of the merchant is too outrageous, then you have to pay more attention.
Third, the appearance of work should be reviewed, circumventing defective products
Many people choose the wireless router often only pay attention to the richness and price of the product itself, but ignore the appearance and workmanship. In fact, this is very wrong.
At present, the materials sold on the market are mostly engineering plastics and iron. The price difference is not particularly large, but the heat dissipation of the iron shell products is slightly better. Users should pay attention to the design of the vents when purchasing the router. The heat of the long-term router is still relatively high, and the heat dissipation has always been a flaw in the wireless router.
Fourth, the practical function should be selected
At present, better wireless routers have advanced functions such as IP broadband control, WDS wireless bridging, QSS fast security settings, and ARP attack protection. Among them, we are more commonly used router IP broadband control, this function can help us better allocate the network reasonably, to ensure that every Internet user can allocate network resources reasonably. Avoid individual users using P2P software such as BT and Thunder to over-capture bandwidth resources and affect the normal network usage of other users.
