We can't live without routers anymore.
As an important network device for connecting high-speed networks, the importance of routers is self-evident. A few years ago, most of the routers used by every household were Wi-Fi 5 or even Wi-Fi 4 routes costing tens of yuan, with relatively few functions and poor stability. However, nowadays, with the popularity of Wi-Fi 6, More and more users have experienced high-speed network connection, but the update of technology sometimes means an increase in cost. Affected by the chip, the current mainstream Wi-Fi 6 routers are basically in the range of 300-500 yuan, and even some high-end routes cost more than 1000 yuan. I believe that some people may have doubts. Why are these routers so expensive?
With the support of multi-stream aggregation, 4X4 antenna and 160MHz transmission bandwidth scheme, the 1000-byte products have stronger performance in extreme wireless transmission. Stronger processor performance can bring lower OFDMA transmission delay. Some products provide better service performance experience through traffic identification and QoS guarantee mechanism. And many of the party's routers are designed for real-time e-sports games, with built-in accelerators for optimal gaming experience.
Today, the author takes stock of the thousands of yuan routers beloved by local tyrants.
01 millet AX9000
Xiaomi AX9000 as a 9000Mbps flagship triband router, all aspects of configuration are flagship, including Qualcomm for Wi-Fi 6E flagship SoC Qualcomm IPQ8072, 1GB large memory, 2.5g network port. Of course, AX9000 as a cross-era product of Millet, not only limited to these surface evolution, under high configuration, it has active cooling fan, USB 3.0 interface these two new configurations. It has a total of 12 antennas and three frequency bands. With AIoT wireless, the total speed is up to 9000Mbps. Such wireless configuration is not only top among Xiaomi routers, but also a truly high-end flagship level in the industry.
High-bandwidth three-band wireless means greater wireless capacity, less interference, and greater scalability over Mesh for users. AX9000 can use two frequency bands of 5.3g and 5.8G to achieve almost lossless wireless backtrip Mesh network construction. To big family, although when decorating, had not designed embedded line, the network that uses powerful wireless network also can complete a family is covered.
As a 12 antenna router, Xiaomi AX9000 has given up the previous simple design on the appearance. The external antenna and the circular fuselage Angle are divided, which is very aggressive. There are large areas of X-type e-sports lamp effect, which will be very visible at home. Exclusive game acceleration function is very suitable for game players to buy.
Although the initial price of this router is 999 yuan, the current price of 1,299 yuan is still worth buying.
02 asus RT - AX86U
The ASUS RT-AX86U continues the design of the rT-AC86U gaming router, bringing it into the world of high-performance Wi-Fi 6. Internally, the RT-AX86U uses Broadcom's BCM4908 and BCM43684 chipsets along with 1GB of RAM and 256MB of flash memory to store its firmware and Settings. The router is powered by a 1.8ghz quad-core processor. Its 802.11ax dual-band design creates 2.4 and 5GHz networks that can compress as much data as possible into their transmissions by utilizing the ultra-wide 160MHz data channel MU-MIMO and beamforming. Overall, for the AX5700 class, the RT-AX86U can move up to 861Mbps on its 2.4ghz band and transfer up to 4.8Gbps on its 5GHz band.
The Asus RT-AX86U has 1Gbps and 2.5Gbps multi-gigabit WAN input ports on the back for use with the latest broadband modems. If multiple gigabit connections are not used, it adds four dedicated gigabit per second downstream Ethernet ports and an additional LAN port. This can have a total of five downlink ports, one more than most of the ports offered, but three fewer than the eight LAN ports on TP-Link's Archer AX6000. For Speedsters, you can aggregate two network ports for maximum speed output.
The Asus RT-AX86U is a powerful Wi-Fi 6 router that delivers excellent speed and killer gaming features, as well as excellent customization options. With high-end performance and lifetime protection against intrusions and malware, it's also a great choice to protect your entire home network, provide long-term protection without a subscription fee and come with a two-year warranty.
03 Huawei route H6
Huawei route H6 contains one parent route, one Pro route, and two standard routes. Both support gigabit network ports. As a distributed router product, each H6 parent route of Huawei routes can be connected to a maximum of six sub-routes through preset network cables for networking. The parent routes can also be cascaded to connect more sub-routes and achieve wider coverage. A single subpath can cover 1 or 2 rooms, while the Pro version is more suitable for living room scenarios.
Not only that, Huawei Road H6 compact body contains enough design, the combination of soft and hard smart antenna technology can track and locate the signal source of smart equipment, coupled with high-performance external signal amplifier, can bring sufficient signal for every device in the home, coupled with Huawei's own research wi-fi Fi6+ technology, Support 160MHz large bandwidth and dynamic narrow bandwidth through the wall black technology, no longer need to worry about mobile phones and smart home equipment off the network.
With the support of Huawei ROUTING H6, wi-fi coverage of the whole house can be easily realized, the connection problem of smart devices can be easily solved, and the foundation of whole-house intelligence can be laid.
04 asus RT - AX92U
Asus RT-AX92U adopts a three-band design of 2.4ghz /5GHz+5GHz 802.11ax, which can achieve 6100Mbps wireless transceiver rate, including 5GHz 802.11AC band bandwidth up to 866Mbps. The 2.4ghz 802.11n band has a maximum rate of 400Mbps, and the 5GHz 802.11ax has a maximum rate of 4804Mbps.
The RT-AX92U is equipped with four high-gain external foldable antennas and its mesh networking function enables high-speed back transmission between mesh nodes using 802.11ax signals. The AiMesh AX6100 system can be configured or managed through the RT-AX92U Web and APP interfaces. Routes in the AiMesh system can be synchronized to each other after being configured once.
In addition, with the AIMesh function, Asus RT-AX92U can support AIMesh by updating the latest firmware, and form a Mesh network with other Asus routers. Compared with ordinary Mesh routers, the advantage of AIMesh is that it retains the complete functions of Asus routers and supports many models of Asus routers. And different models of routers can be mixed to use, effectively reduce the cost of purchase.
