Smart router technology breaks through the separation of body and network port and becomes a manufacturing trend?

With the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, smart products have become an indispensable product in people's daily life. The common point of smart products is that they all need network support. A stable network is the guarantee for the smooth operation of smart products. Smart routers play a key role in network deployment.

September 8 , 2015 Hangzhou H3C Communication Technology Co., Ltd. released a smart router product H3C Magic B1 for the home consumer market in Beijing, aiming to enter the smart home market, and announced that it will launch more high-quality smart terminal products for consumers. H3C continues to maintain the largest market share in the domestic enterprise network and WLAN market. H3C products have entered the global market and have been widely recognized in markets with high quality requirements such as Europe and the United States.

There are many brands of routers in the market now, so it is very necessary to choose a satisfactory smart router. So how does the H3C Magic B1 smart router perform? Let's analyze it in detail.

Accessories: round host, a data transmission cable, a power adapter and instruction manual.

When you open the box, what comes into view is a white disc with a silver-gray reflective LOGO , which gives it a high-tech feel. The overall dimensions are 140mm × 140mm × 9.8mm . It is worth mentioning that the thickness is only 9.8mm . The ultra-thin shape completely subverts the manufacturing style of traditional wireless routers and is one-third of the thickness of common wireless routers on the market.

H3C Magic B1 adopts innovative network port and body separation technology, with four built-in 360 -degree circular omnidirectional antennas, horizontal signal coverage without dead angles, and PCB reflection technology to enhance the signal strength in the effective direction. Built-in signal enhancement module amplifies the signal and enhances the receiving sensitivity. The all-ceramic capacitor design greatly improves the product life. The body has only one interface, realizing the integration of multiple cables for easy storage.

One of the biggest innovations of H3C Magic B1 smart router is that it implements a WAN port, a LAN port and a data interface on the power adapter for connecting to the router. The separation of the network port on the body is one of its biggest highlights. Since the network port is concentrated on the power adapter, the signal source of the body is thinner and lighter. The advantage of this is that the round machine can access the Internet with just one cable, which looks neater.

The product integrates wired and wireless network connections. For the first time setting, it only takes three steps to access the Internet. It integrates the latest 11AC technology and the wireless transmission rate is up to 1200Mbps . After testing on 10M fiber broadband, the H3C Magic B1 smart router is 40% faster than the Xiaomi router in terms of downlink speed.

Beamforming Internet device tracking technology increases wireless signal strength by an average of 50% . 2.4G/5G full-band coverage. Dual-band mobile phones can connect to 5G at close range to enjoy high speed; connect to 2.4G at long distances to enjoy wide coverage. Barrier-free coverage of 150M . A 70㎡ residence can achieve full coverage and full signal. It is much stronger than Xiaomi router, and the signal of Xiaomi router is obviously weakened behind the wall.

Automatic sleep mode reduces power consumption and radiation. H3C 's professional Miniware software platform ensures 365 days of stable battery life without disconnection. After testing, the power consumption is less than 7W , which is more energy-efficient.

shortcoming:

1. The router starts to heat up when it is not connected to the Internet and is only connected to a control device. Compared with other routers, the thin and round body and the internal heat of the device seem to be more difficult to balance.

2. The setting interface needs to be improved. When entering the setting interface using a computer, it will default to the simplified version, which is suitable for mobile phone applications. For convenient adjustment, you need to enter the professional version interface.

3. The network port on the body is separated, but for now it is just separated, which is not very attractive to ordinary users.

I believe that the heating and UI interface problems of H3C Magic B1 can be corrected through software upgrades in the future. The body separation technology is not very useful now. It just makes the round machine thinner. But the separate design at least provides a new way of thinking and new ideas in the design of smart routers. However, how H3C Magic B1 performs in the market will have to wait until it is launched on the 16th to know.
