High-gain antenna signal enhancement Obvious millet router 3 measured strong performance

At the end of March, Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi Router 3. The biggest difference between this router and its predecessor was the design of the four-antenna antenna. Xiaomi’s propaganda language also “suitable for 4 different”. Iterative products, exactly how their performance, Duanmu and everyone to parse.

Millet Router 3 has a larger box size, similar to the non-intelligent D-Link that Duanmu had bought before, but the workmanship and color performance is much better. Although the environmental protection kraft paper material is not used, the white package is Even if the image of the router is not beautiful, it will not be offensive. The AC1200 word in the lower left corner is extremely obvious. Whether the name of the dual-band precursor smart wireless router meets expectations or just look down.

Millet router 3's body also follows the color of the previous product, the whole body white is wild for most of the home decoration, four antennas are very prominent, the front of the fuselage also has a MI logo, surrounded by a circular arc The transition, which is also the more popular design scheme on the market.

Millet Router 3 is equipped with four external omni-directional multi-element oscillators and high-gain antennas. Perhaps this terminology will make the users of Zhangji monk puzzled. In simple terms, the advantage of high-gain antennas is that the signal radiation of routers is more concentrated. In order to achieve signal gain. Specific to 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, since the 5 GHz wave is shorter, the effect of the high-gain antenna on the signal of the 5 GHz band will be more obvious, but the 2.4 GHz gain will also be better than the previous products.

In addition, the four antennas of the millet router 3 can be arbitrarily rotated to achieve signal enhancement at a specific angle. The top of the antenna is also marked with the MIWIFI logo, which makes up for the dullness and blankness on the antenna.

For heat dissipation, millet router 3 has up to 411 cooling holes on the back of the fuselage, and a large number of cooling holes designed to ensure the stability of daily use. In addition, there are four pads on the back to prevent scratches on the contact surface when the router is dragging.

Millet Router 3's body thickness is very well controlled, and the thinnest point is almost equal to today's cell phone thickness. On the side, it can be seen that the transition between the bottom and side of the millet router 3 also adopts a similar curved surface. It can be seen that the styling design also has some details to consider, instead of the traditional design of the Founder router.

Millet router 3 interface is placed behind the fuselage, from left to right are reset port, USB port, two LAN ports, a WAN port, and power input. There may be some small partners who spoke. The two LAN ports are extremely unfriendly to the wired devices in the home. However, in terms of the personal experience of Duanmu, today's electronic products are almost always equipped with wireless functions, and today's smart routers are more unfriendly. Many appear on more traditional devices. Of course, if you can, Duanmu himself also hopes that the LAN port can be more, after all, there can be more room for maneuverability. In addition to several interfaces, there are three rectangular air outlets behind the fuselage of the millet router 3, and 411 cooling holes at the bottom form natural air ducts to ensure stable operation.

The installation of the millet router 3 is a fool-type operation, inserting the network cable into the blue WAN port, plugging in the power, and the millet router 3 enters into operation. The next setting operation can be performed via the millet router APP web page. The web page can directly enter the address: miwifi.com or 192.168.31.1. Follow the prompts to complete the setting. The mobile phone terminal needs to connect to the wireless network that begins with xiaomi, and then enters the millet router APP to make related settings such as the wireless network name, password, and management password. However, when Duanmu is operating on the mobile phone side, after connecting the millet router 3, the mobile phone automatically opens the browser APP, enters the boot page, and completes the basic setup according to the prompt operation. Therefore, in a word, Xiaomi's router 3 can be fully adapted to small white users. The initial use of a router with a guide page, and a soft sister that does not understand the router can easily handle it.

For router products, it is believed that the user is most concerned about the signal problem, Duanmu also brought the measured data. First of all, in the completely unobstructed case, the signal of millet router 3 is between -20-25dBm, and it has reached the commercial level of power. It is obviously more than enough for the family!

The following signal data comes from ordinary family homes. Since there are more wireless signal interferences in the surrounding area, you should ignore some of the data below. The test house area is about 120 square meters, millet router 3 is in the upper right corner, and the test points are A, B, C, and D in the figure. Detailed data is shown in the figure below.

Test results show (for 2.4GHz):

The signal at the test point A between the two walls is the best, and the intensity is around -55 dBm.

The signal strength of test point B is about -65 dBm, which is only about two walls apart.

The test point C is separated by three walls. The signal is better than the test point B. It seems to be abnormal. It may be that the test point B has the influence of the Flower Pavilion.

Finally, at test point D, three walls are separated, and the signal weakens more obviously. It has dropped to about 70 dBm.

In fact, in the display on a mobile phone, even if the signal is the weakest test point D, the wireless signal has two cells, and the above signal strength is good, and it will not have a great impact on actual use.

Looking at the signals in the 5 GHz band, the test points A and B, that is, in the case of two walls separated from each other, the signal weakening is not obvious, but in the case of test points C and D, three walls above the interval, the signal attenuation is compared obvious. However, even at the test point D, it is still possible to search for and connect signals in the 5 GHz band, and there is absolutely no problem in using it. This is exactly what Duanmu’s router hard disk version of Duanmu could not do.

In general, the signal gain of Xiaomi's router 3 is indeed quite obvious. Whether it is 2.4GHz or 5GHz, the signal transmission has obviously improved, and the signal strength is as high as the commercial level. The home is completely worry-free, and the beauty value is also pretty much the same. Just needed users strongly recommend it.
