Pits are large, dual-band routers should be used like this!

With the popularity of high-speed broadband, Xiaobian’s small partners have also replaced older routers under the encouragement of Xiaobian. The 802.11ac Gigabit router has become the standard configuration. However, many small partners said that Xiaobian's respected Gigabit routers and the 5GHz band are far from imaginary, and they did not experience gigabit speeds. They feel bad. Xiao Bian had to take up irresponsibility. Indiscriminately commanding the "black pan" until it was discovered that many of the buddies had made some "low-level" mistakes in their use...

Inadequate purchase, 100m wired delay

Some small partners only saw "Gigabit" and they were impressed by emotions. Together with a glance at the price, they hurriedly placed orders and did not pay any attention to specifications. Therefore, they bought back Gigabit wireless routers that use 100-megabit wired interfaces. Even if they connected to the 5GHz band with a theoretical speed of 800Mbps or more, when transferring files between wired network devices such as computers and NAS, the speed was dragged down by the 100Mb wired interface, and it only reached poor 10MB/s or so, compared with 300Mbps. There is no difference between the old router and the 2.4GHz band. For such a small partner, Xiao Bian proposed to quickly replace these "legged" routes.

2.4GHz frequency band transmission speed

5GHz frequency band transmission speed

The capacity around the wall is weak, how should the router be installed?

Some young partners always feel that the router doesn't fit in with their own home style, so hiding them in the corner of the room and then complaining to Xiaobian about 5G signals is really not good. In fact, the 5 GHz signal has higher energy loss during obstacle transmission, so in the case of obstacles blocking or other rooms, you will see that the 5 GHz signal drops much more than the 2.4 GHz signal. To solve these problems, the router should be installed in a location that can radiate the entire room without obstacles, and it is best to send signals to other rooms in a straight line. For example, the router is placed in the doorway closest to the bedroom and placed on the desktop facing the door of the other room. Superior.

When there is no obstacle, the signal intensity of the next two bands is very close to the same distance.

Is the signal strength "lying"? The frequency band should be chosen as such

“It's so slow to watch a video on the bed!” This is another little friend's evaluation of the new router. Xiao Bian first said, “You're too home, right?!” and then tested his wireless network. It was found that although the router in the living room is far from the bedroom and the 5 GHz intensity is only one cell, the transmission speed is still 2.5 MB/s or more, and there is no problem in watching the video on the Internet; the signal intensity in the 2.4 GHz band is only reduced by one cell. , But the transmission speed has dropped to 850KB/s. When watching high-definition video, Caton is obvious. Explain that in many cases, we can't just look at the signal. When watching video, we should still connect the 5G band where the signal is weak.

However, Xiao Bian also told this friend that if it is to play mobile games, it is better to choose a better signal and connect a more stable 2.4GHz band. However, the game server will not give you buffered data. If the signal is too weak, there will be a flash break. In other circumstances, waiting for someone to die.

The signal difference between the two frequency bands in the bedroom is very obvious, and the 5 GHz signal strength is worse

Comparison of transmission speeds in the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands in the bedroom, 5GHz transmission speed is higher

As long as we pay attention to these three issues, we believe that the Gigabit routers of small partners can bring the experience of rolling over the old routers completely. When they fly on the Internet, they really feel that their little money is not worth spending, and they can make Xiaobian unload. The black pot on the back.
