A friend gave a Huawei router WS5200 enhanced version and a Xiaomi router 4. Which will replace the old router? Xiaomi router 4 claims to be a fiber-optic all-Gigabit intelligent router, while Huawei router WS5200 enhanced version slogan is Lingxiao dual-core true dual-frequency, that is, fast! Which is stronger? Next, let's compare.
The appearance is also quite similar.
Huawei Router WS5200 Enhanced Edition and Xiaomi Router 4 are both "typical" in appearance, which means what the router looks like in everyone's impression, so these two models are similar. They are all flat bodies with four omnidirectional antennas. Everyone is a pure white fuselage, and the design is very simple. The buttons are all in the middle of the fuselage, but the face value is still much higher than that of the traditional router. However, there is one more thing. The four antennas of the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 can be folded. In many cases, this retractable design is still very popular because it can better integrate into the home environment. Both of them are high-gain antennas, and the reasonable layout determined by precise testing effectively improves the signal gain. Moreover, the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 adopts LDPC weak signal correction algorithm, which can make your signal full even in a room far away from the router.
On the back of Xiaomi router 4 is a Gigabit WAN port and two network expansion ports. The enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 needs an additional network expansion port, while the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 adopts the network port automatic identification technology, that is to say, there is no need to distinguish different network ports, and the WAN port and LAN port are integrated, so you can connect to the network by plugging in the network cable casually. This feeling is as simple, convenient and easy to use as upgrading the charging interface of mobile phone from Micro USB to Type C interface which can be plugged in both positive and negative directions.
Networking is "stupid", which is very simple and convenient.
Compared with the router settings in previous years, the current products can be said to be very worry-free and labor-saving. In the past, surfing the Internet or networking required professional hands-on or step-by-step operation according to instructions, but now it has been upgraded to a very simple "one-click Internet access". Xiaomi router 4 for Xiaomi mobile phone and Mijia smart devices, press the MiNET key to help smart devices quickly access the network with one button, without a password.
The enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 is more powerful. You can copy the account number and password of the old router with one click and dial the Internet automatically. And you don't need a computer to configure the internet in three steps at most, and optical fiber users only need two steps to be OK. In other words, you can surf the internet with a click on your mobile phone, which is very simple. Huawei also cooperates with more than 50 top/kloc-0 manufacturers in the industry, accessing more than 100 categories, covering more than 500 smart products. In other words, through the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200, smart home appliances such as smart TV, smart air conditioner, smart sweeping robot and smart air purifier, as well as emerging smart digital devices such as smart door locks, smart speakers and smart lights can be easily and conveniently connected to the smart home networking.
Simple Test of Network Speed and Stability
Nowadays, people use more and more wireless devices, including Bluetooth, wireless mouse and keyboard, wireless headphones, wireless game consoles and other peripherals. Most devices work on the 2.4G channel and there are many users, so many devices on the 2.4G channel are "crowded" and Wi-Fi interference is inevitable. At this time, it is particularly important for the router to switch to the 5G signal intelligently and automatically. Xiaomi router 4 sends two Wi-Fi signals at the same time, and the channels are independent and do not interfere with each other. Huawei Router WS5200 Enhanced Edition is a combination of two frequency bands, and the combined display is automatically optimized. If the nearest one will automatically connect to 5GHz to avoid interference, and the far one will automatically connect to 2.4GHz, then who is stronger?
Let's briefly compare the strength of Wi-Fi signal and connection stability. Simply put, the unit of Wi-Fi signal strength is dBm. Signal strength-the normal value is between -30dbm and-10dbm. The smaller the absolute value of the number, the smaller the attenuation and the better the network connection.
The first group is to test that two routers and mobile phones are in the same room. At this time, Xiaomi router 4 is -37dBm, and Huawei router WS5200 enhanced version is -33dBm. Everyone's network connection is good at this time.
The second group of tests was in another room far away from the router and was blocked by a wall. This time, the performance of Xiaomi router 4 is -53dBm, and the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 is -47dBm. The performance of the two routers is still equivalent.
The third group of tests was conducted outside the office four walls away from the router. At this time, the gap is somewhat obvious. The data of Xiaomi router 4 is-133dBm. In this case, it is no longer possible to surf the Internet smoothly and watch videos or live broadcasts online. On the other hand, the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 displays data of -88dBm, and you can still watch live broadcasts and videos online in this environment. The test environment is far from the router, so we can see who is stronger.
Everyone has an intelligent control APP function.
Both Huawei Router WS5200 Enhanced Edition and Xiaomi Router 4 can manage and optimize router settings through APP control. Everyone has the functions of speed measurement, anti-rubbing, intelligent speed limit, guest Wi-Fi and so on, and there is little difference.
abstract
After a period of experience and the simple test mentioned above, I chose Huawei router WS5200 enhanced version and Xiaomi router 4 as the main tasks of the studio router. This Huawei router WS5200 enhanced intelligent router not only has the functions of independent research and development of dual-core processor, blind insertion of network port, dual-frequency automatic switching, scalable design, support for Huawei HiLink, etc., but also is stable and assured. Below are some photos of the enhanced version of Huawei router WS5200 in my studio. If you are considering what kind of router to choose for yourself, I suggest you know more about this. You can't go wrong.
Hope to adopt!
