Wireless routers are the best option when there are too many computers in the House to squeeze in a room. So how can we choose the desired wireless route? Here we will teach you a few tips to use.

With the rapid development of science and technology, there are more and more computers in the house now. We have almost one machine, and everyone needs to access the Internet. What should we do? Cannot all be crowded into a study? Of course, do you have to destroy the original decoration and re-deploy the network cable? Now, let's listen to me. Please buy a wireless router! Then, your family will be able to access the Internet wireless anytime, anywhere.

However, before deciding to purchase a vro, let's talk about how to buy a suitable wireless router from four aspects as long as we can understand the four aspects, you can purchase it with confidence, and it will never be "fooled ". These four aspects are: Brand and design, quality and performance, simple and easy to use, and the key is price.

1) brand and Design

Needless to say, a large brand determines everything about the product, and network products are no exception. A good brand includes the product quality, quality, and after-sales service. Please note: do not purchase products from small factories. The products of small manufacturers cannot guarantee quality or provide stable after-sales services, before we saw a lot of friends to buy a thing, the results of bad when you want to repair but can not find the factory, want to D-LINK such formal large manufacturers can still trust. After the brand is passed, it is the design. Once upon a time, the network product gave the impression that it was a very positive box and placed it in a place that nobody could see, but now it is different, if you have a pretty small box with an antenna, you can see it with a small flashlight ~ Hi-tech ~, It is a hundred times more powerful than Ikea accessories. If you want to place the living room in the living room, you want to put the study in the study, and place it with you.

2) quality and performance

This problem may be a bit professional, but it doesn't matter. Don't worry. Just read it with patience.

First, you need to know what you want to do. For example, if you have a PC, the main job is to access the Internet, and your father or wife and husband have a notebook, they do not watch stocks or play games online, in addition, you have installed 1 Mbps ADSL Broadband Access. Well, your requirements are clear, so you can buy a 54 M wireless router. 54M is based on 802.11g protocol commonly known as, this specification is currently the most mainstream products on the market, such as D-LINK DIR-300 is quite good, is the D-LINK this spring launched the new, it not only meets the needs of daily multi-PC Internet access and simple multimedia file transmission, but also fully responds to the new network management functions on Vista, makes network devices and operating systems form a complete management platform. In addition, because it supports QoS, network applications such as videos, online games, and VoIP can be smooth even when the network is busy.

When the specification is selected, performance should be considered, including the transmission function, power, antenna gain, and security performance of the router, this series of parameter indicators determine the download rate, connection stability, coverage size, network security, and other practical experience. You can get the parameters of these products by Google or Baidu on the Internet. Some websites even provide parameter comparison between two or more products. You can try it before buying the product. Actually speaking of performance, products based on the 802.11g protocol are very mature, and the quality of each chip manufacturer is relatively stable and reliable. The difference lies in the wireless part. It is worth noting that the design of the antenna determines the signal coverage and connection stability. Previously popular home router products are generally equipped with 2 DBI antennas, which can meet the average room coverage of 50-80 square meters and provide stable performance. However, if you live in a house of more than 100 square meters, the 2dBi antenna may not be able to cope with the problem. However, the emergence of the standard 5dBi product greatly enhances the coverage and connection stability of the product. Therefore, antenna configuration is an important issue that you have to consider.

3) simple and easy to use

After all, you can buy a product instead of looking at it. Therefore, it is best to make the vro simple and easy to use, just like using a TV remote control. For a wireless router, it is essential to have a simple and easy-to-use full-Chinese configuration interface. You only need to enter the browser and follow the prompts and instructions to enter the user name and password, and then click Next, the next step can be completed. At present, many manufacturers are actively optimizing and simplifying the interface, and strive to allow a non-network user to use the wireless router smoothly. For example, D-Link is one of them. In fact, it is very important that manufacturers of major brands can provide online and telephone technical support services. That is to say, if you encounter any difficulties, you can also seek solutions from the professional technical engineers of the manufacturers, engineers at "Far Away" can help you complete the configuration step by step.

4) price issues

The price issue will inevitably make people sensitive! Currently, the price of mainstream 54M products is within the range of 2XX RMB. Due to the maturity of the underlying technology, the final product prices are not much different, probably the best products and the worst products won't exceed 50 yuan, but most of the time, it is actually 10-20 yuan. However, don't underestimate the 10-20 yuan. When the cost is put into the product, the quality is not a gap of 10 yuan or 20 yuan, therefore, do not be greedy for low costs during purchase. There is an old saying: one cent, one cent! If you don't believe it, you can think about it.
