There is also a little bit of New Year's atmosphere, today brought a 360 security router P1 2016 New Year Special Edition, as to what is the special edition of New Year, the following detailed talk, and for P1 this product, I believe there is understanding of the 360 ​​security router The partners are no longer strangers. Although the P1 has been available for more than a year, this product still has strong competitiveness compared with the current products of the same class, such as: unique design, humanized function, Decent configuration, friendly prices and other aspects make this router durable.
Packaging: New Year 2016, very festive atmosphere
What the Chinese New Year Special Edition sees as the packaging below, we know that this new version of the packaging is very different from the old one. Although the shape of the box has not changed, the main color of the box has changed from the white color to the big red tone. On the front is a silhouette with lanterns, monkeys, fireworks, etc., especially New Year's atmosphere.
The overall package design of the box is relatively simple, and relevant information about product parameters is printed on the bottom.
Like the old packaging, the drawer design is still used. There is a special feature. After opening the package, you can see P1 quietly slamming it inside.
General accessories: power adapter, manual, power adapter is also printed on the back of the 360 ​​Logo, the output is: 9V/0.5A.
Design: aluminum alloy panel, ultra-thin design, dual antenna adjustable 270 degrees
P1 is the router design I saw in the router is a special design, ultra-thin body, like a tablet, and millet router mini looks very much like, but P1 is thinner, the thinnest side only It is 3mm thick, while the front cover is an anodized aluminum alloy plate. The texture is very good and makes P1 look more like a thin plate.
The fuselage uses the design of the book scroll, the antenna is hidden in the bottom of the fuselage, through the axis of the fuselage at the back of the antenna can be rotated to the top.
Stainless steel with concentric lines on the shaft, the workmanship is very detailed, the two antennas can rotate independently within 270 degrees, through a variety of angles of rotation can put a variety of shapes, of course, can meet the requirements of the wall.
On the whole, the design of P1 is very simple, with an ultra-thin aluminum alloy plate on the front, which not only makes the machine full of personality, but also facilitates daily maintenance. Moreover, the aluminum alloy material greatly improves the thermal performance of the body. The two antennas have been designed with a highly conductive PCB+copper tube material, which has excellent conductivity and can effectively reduce signal attenuation. The 5dBi dual-gain antenna, multi-angle rotation, also improves the router's coverage.
Although from the front, this router is very thin. In fact, this “thin plate†is just a deceptive effect on the design. From the bottom, you can see a slightly thicker circuit board compartment, occupying more than half of the area, but This design is still commendable. The circuit board compartment has dense heat-dissipation holes, two wall-hanging holes and rubber anti-slip mats. The anti-slip mats are designed only at the rear two, the front is not, placed on the desktop or Shake will occur.
The back interface is the same as most routers, power interface, 4 LAN ports, 1 WLAN port, and reset button.
APP: speed management, WiFi timing switch, signal strength adjustment, etc., many functions, and are very practical
There is an external, more intrinsic, P1 in addition to the appearance of more prominent, in terms of function is also more comprehensive, and through the APP that is able to control the router, open the APP can be intuitive to see the various options, large red tone of the It also caters to the atmosphere of the New Year, and many functions are very practical, such as: speed management (to assign speed or blackout to each device), friends exclusive network (password-free Internet), WiFi timing switch, signal strength adjustment, Security management, network diagnostics, and more, even the light switch can be controlled.
Since it is a 360 security router, the function of secure Internet access is certainly not small. Open the "security protection" option that can manage a variety of firewalls, such as WIFI password firewall, mobile Internet firewall, etc., In addition, you can also open a friend exclusive In the network, the user can connect to the exclusive network within the specified time and the password network can be exempted.
The UI design of speed management is also very good. You can intuitively see the devices connected to the router directly on the interface. You can click on each device to see the statistics of its online data, such as the duration of the Internet, download speed, and MAC address. What is more humane is that each device can be limited in download speed and upload speed so that it can reasonably allocate the speed of the network so as to maximize its use.
Signal test: strong wall penetration, multiple devices connected to the line, no problem within 200 square meters
Appearance, function, have a look below the most important part of the router: signal performance, P1 uses a more mature and stable 802.11N wireless transmission protocol, its built-in independent high-linear LNA receiving amplifier, can carry on the weak wireless signal High-sensitivity detection, even if the wireless device's signal is relatively weak, P1 can also receive, so it also takes up a great advantage in the receiving performance, PCB + brass antenna material, 5dBi high gain antenna, 300 Mbps transmission rate, but also greatly Improve the router's coverage.
Here's a relevant test of the wireless signal of P1 (under the strongest signal strength setting), first look at a space sketch of the test environment, where A is the placement point of P1, and B, C, D, E, and F are all For the test point, point A is about 7 meters away from point B, and the others are plotted according to the ratio. The distances from other points can be estimated by referring to the distance from point B.
Signal strength
The test area is a normal office environment. Because it is a public area, there will be multiple router signal strength curves in the signal strength screenshot below. At the same time, because of the mutual interference of signals, there is a certain error in the test, but it also just reflects the daily use. The state of the router under the state.
In the following figure, the curve of pink, named "360 Security Router P1", represents the signal strength of P1, where the value of the vertical axis represents the better the intensity, and vice versa, and the signal of 60 to 80 dBm is normal. , The best to 40dbm above, 80 to 90dBm or less is relatively bad (the value is expressed as a negative value).
The signal strength of P1 at point A is approximately 33 dBm, and the signal strength of the initial emission is still quite large, proving that there is a certain potential.
At point B, the distance changes. Although there is no obstruction in the middle, the signal still has some attenuation. The signal here is about 45dBm, and it can meet the demand for smooth Internet access.
To C, about 13 meters from the router, and the middle meandering across two walls, the signal strength at this time there is a significant decline, probably: 62dBm, but there is no problem with the Internet in this position.
The distance between point D and point C is almost the same, but it is a vertical state between a wall and a router in the middle, so it is more conducive to the penetration of the signal. It can be seen that the signal strength here does have a certain recovery. It is: 52dBm.
E point is about 16 meters away from the router, while the middle meandering across a wall, although the signal attenuation here is more serious, but the 71dBm signal strength can still barely on the Internet.
The signal strength of P1 is influenced by the distance factor, or it is quite severe. However, even if there are a few walls in a certain range, the strength is still not seriously reduced. It can be seen that the ability of P1 to penetrate the wall is indeed very strong, just like in F. At the point, even though there are two walls in the middle, the signal strength is also 65dBm, which fully satisfies the need for smooth Internet access.
stability
Place the test equipment at point B for a period of time to obtain the signal stability curve. If the curve is larger, the signal stability is worse. From the screenshot, it can be seen that the signal stability of P1 is still quite good, and the jitter amplitude Not more than 5dBm, very satisfied.
Speed
Slightly use the speed test function of the APP comes with the next P1 download speed test, the data obtained is still very satisfactory, as the author used the 50M bandwidth, the measured data and the actual data match, and not on the speed Weakened, and still more than flexible in the case of multiple devices connected to the Internet at the same time.
Summary: a unique design, functional and practical, close to the people's prices, a grounded gas router
After related tests on the wireless signal of P1, its coverage is worthy of recognition. The space of 150-200 square meters is completely free of problems, and the ability to penetrate the wall is also excellent. Within a certain range, two or three walls are difficult to reach. The basic home corners can be covered, and it doesn't have much impact when multiple devices are connected to the Internet at the same time. In addition, this router does not generate a lot of heat, it works continuously for several days, and only Temperature level, good stability.
Although the 360 ​​security route P1 has been available for a long time, but it is still a product that can keep pace with the times. Its unique shape has become a personalized choice for users. Moreover, P1 can also be performed anywhere and anytime through APP. Control, in terms of function is also more numerous and practical (safety, radiation protection, network resource allocation and other aspects are done very well), combined with the price of 89 yuan, this is a very grounded gas router.
