Internet thinking "intrude" the router Industry

Smart routers are synonymous with the current "popularity", and users are also looking forward to the smart routers of various manufacturers. The official forum on smart routers is even more popular. We have suggestions, test qualifications, and experience in displaying our own machine games. In short, we don't want to experience the new feelings brought by smart routers quickly. In the face of such a hot variety of smart router products, some friends can not help but ask: "What are the advantages of smart routers ?". Today, let's talk about the differences between smart routers and traditional routers and their own characteristics.

 

First, let's start with the appearance of smart routers and traditional routers. In the general impression, the wireless router is the plastic small square box lying in the corner of the home. It has never been touched since it was installed. In addition, the traditional router gives people the feeling that they are "unable to work on the table", so that they can work quietly in the corner.

The fate of smart routers is unwilling to smoke dust in the corner. They are innovative in product design and boldly apply new technologies to the product design. For example, the polar routing uses a metal shell and the anode oxidation molding technology, which not only facilitates heat dissipation, but also makes the router look more technical. The vertical design of Xiaomi routes and the blue indicator lights that are full of futuristic colors have added a mysterious color to the routers. During the test, the product housing is transparent, highlighting the characteristics of the "Crystal version.

Although traditional routers are constantly updating their designs to make their products more fashionable and fashionable, their effects are not particularly obvious. Most of the time, products are still placed in the corner of the family. The reason is not only the appearance design, but also the single functional design of traditional routers. It is precisely because of the single function that users do not pay enough attention to traditional routers and do not place them on the table.

Open the router interface of the e-commerce website, we can find that no matter whether the speed of the wireless router is 300 M, 450 M, or 600 M, most of them use 11n wireless technology and work in the GHz band. Smart routers all claim to adopt "top-level Configuration", and almost all smart routers use 11ac and dual-frequency concurrent wireless technologies. In this way, smart routers can provide faster wireless networks and more stable wireless signals, laying the foundation for building a small local area network.

The use of 11ac and dual-band technology is equivalent to adding a fast lane to the home wireless network. Currently, in addition to the 11ac network speed provided by jier.com, Xiaomi routes, thunder routes, and 360 routes provide users with an 11ac network with an 866Mbps speed. Such a high-speed network provides a network experience different from that of a traditional router for home audio and video entertainment, Web browsing, HD video watching, and online gaming.

With the same wireless performance, we can see that the price of products using 11ac and dual-frequency Concurrency Technology on traditional routers is very expensive, or even thousands of yuan at a glance, so that most users are discouraged. While using these top-level technologies, smart routers are very affordable. Apart from Xiaomi routers with a built-in 1 TB storage space, no more than 500 smart router products of other manufacturers. Smart routers that are dominant in terms of functions and prices undoubtedly have a huge impact on traditional routers.

System Innovation breaks the complicated routing setting Interface

Traditional routers are inconvenient to install and deploy. One is to make users feel complicated, and the other is to make the interface monotonous and unfriendly. In this way, users will feel a "fear" of traditional routers, and they will lose their interest in "playing" The vro after a configuration, so that the wireless router is pushed into the "Cold palace", in the corner of the miserable day.

Complex configurations of traditional Routers

In contrast, smart routers greatly strengthen system R & D. Most smart router products adopt a new system based on OpenWrt code. The smart router system is very user-friendly. These systems strive to reduce user operation steps. In the past, many manual settings were required, and the router will automatically configure the router for the user. If the network cable is connected to the user and the network cable is directly inserted, the smart router will automatically configure for the user, and the user can access the Internet immediately; and the optical fiber or ADSL user, you only need to enter the user name and password provided by the carrier to access the network.

Easy to configure smart Routers

A more intelligent system makes smart routers more accepted by people, especially a concise and graphical system, allowing users to clearly view the functions and status of routers. Now, traditional router manufacturers have also discovered this shortcoming and are constantly improving, accelerating the pace of catching up with smart routers. Traditional routers also need to jump out of their inherent thinking and start from the user experience to gain a stable foothold in the increasingly competitive vro market.

Conclusion: Internet thinking "Invades" the router Industry

After a few observations, we will find that most of the smart routers launched are Internet manufacturers. They applied Internet thinking to hardware manufacturers, listened to users' voices, and transformed their products according to users' needs. This is incomparable to traditional router manufacturers. The smart router adopts the principle of "customer first" and ensures high performance. At present, traditional router manufacturers have not yet come up with a complete countermeasure. If they want the market not to be eroded by smart routers, there is not much time left for traditional router manufacturers.
