Expensive initial experience: NETGEAR UMG R8500 AC5300M router experience review

Sincerely, the landlord has encountered several major events in his life this year. The first is the landlord's (ye) industry this year, and the second is the building's main move. Then my sister and sister will move to a new home this year. The houses are in the renovation. For me, besides having a better environment for moving into a new home, there is also a happy thing that is needed to visit your mother and your new family every day.

Ah~ I hope the new home will be completed soon. When it comes time to buy a bunch of furniture, you can lie to a pile of gold coins.

My brother-in-law’s home improvement progressed a bit faster, and she had already gone through the steps of wallpapering and buying furniture. His colleagues in the company bought him a tall router as a moving gift, and I was then asked to write a sun list. So the protagonist is this thing today - Netgear R8500


Summarize its characteristics

â–¶ AC5300, 5300Mbps rate (1000Mbps for 2.4Ghz band, 2166Mbps for two 5Ghz bands, adding up to a total of 5300Mbps)

â–¶ 6 Gigabit ports, two support port aggregation interfaces

â–¶ 1 USB3.0 interface, 1 USB2.0 interface

â–¶ Dynamic Qos technology to dynamically allocate traffic and make the game more smooth

â–¶There are also various firewalls.

â–¶ NETGEAR claims that each product has passed the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), CCC (Compulsory Product Certification System), SRRC (National Wireless Management Committee) certification, and controls electromagnetic radiation to a level that is harmless to humans.

1: Unpacking and appearance

Adwords are still domineering, the wave of next-generation wifi

The package is very simple to introduce some of the characteristics of the R8500

At first, I thought it was only a large package. I didn’t expect it to fill such a large package after opening.

This wave design looks very rhythmic

The material of the fuselage is not a simple plastic, but also added a lot of shiny material (reflective material)

The indicator light is on the left side of the router

The Bank of China still has to add a bit of English to the English language.

The contents of the package are quite simple, RJ-45 interface cable, power supply, manual

Huh, no matter how big this big flaw, the full power even reached more than 50 watts

Antenna that can be bent in multiple directions

1 and 2 support link aggregation

The built-in switch button is very convenient when restarted, without plugging the plug

Cooling hole and login password

Can hang wall

There are several lights on this side

USB interface hidden here

Super-five cable of metal head, quality is good

Cool blue antenna, dark yo

summary:

The value of the R8500 is not bad, at least it will not affect the home, the top of the wave design is still quite characteristic, the blue light on the antenna is also very awkward, (if you can breathe then there may be shocking thieves magical effect). However, the volume is really big, the weight is relatively heavy, portability is basically do not have to consider, who go out with such a big Mac router ... ... put your family, then try to find a relatively large table or put on the ground more appropriate.

2: router settings

This part of the router is very understanding of people please skip ...

Setting interface, different from other routers, the netware is open browser will automatically enter the settings page, or manually enter http:// can also enter settings, the default account is admin, the password is password

The official NETGEAR genie is quite convenient, that is UI design is a bit ugly, you can manage your wifi password, view the currently connected devices and parental controls, view the contents of the USB interface, etc.

In addition, you can set the guest mode specifically for the guests to use, as the more common features of the current router

3: Signal test

As a wireless router, whether it is 100 yuan or 2999 yuan, it is the most important signal strength and stability. Here's a simple test

Let's talk about my family's apartment. In addition, my home is 50M fiber. The upstream is limited to only 4M.... (All evil!! When I upload photos to Baidu Cloud, it becomes a snail!)

My home is a single-room type building, altogether on the sixth floor, and each floor is the same.

The first is just below the router, which is my kitchen, separated by a floor.

Then point A

Then point B

summary:

It can be seen from the above data that the R8500's ability to pass through the wall is not very strong, and there is not much difference with ordinary routers. However, the landlord used these days to find that the speed transmission is quite stable, such as when the signal is only 1 square. Guaranteed transmission over the internet.

4: Dynamic QoS Technology

In simple terms, QoS technology automatically allocates the speed of your home network, giving priority to the distribution of network speeds to the game. Video, followed by browsing the web, download the last.

As my sister's home and my home are both under renovation, my family currently has a population of 5 people. On average, everyone has 2 mobile phones, plus two TV boxes, so I often jump when playing LOL! Ping! The delay of 100,200ms is really painful...

So I took a test at a time when everyone was at home. I didn't know if anyone had seen this kind of scene. After the family had finished eating, everyone started to play around on the phone... Everybody was playing a mobile phone. I returned to the room to open the phone and started to download something. Thunderbolt was on the computer to download the movie. In short, I tried my best to start taking speed... and then

Great wood! ! ! The landlord LOL is in the black rose, and the server itself in this area has been about 40 pings. Hey, you may not be able to use it later (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

5: USB transfer

Most people use this function to purchase another mobile hard disk or the like, which can be easily connected to the wifi client to download. But the landlord did not move the hard disk, so it used a SanDisk 3.0U disk instead.

You can enter the network disk from the NETGEAR ELF here, you can also enter through the WIN+R run inside enter the above readyshare hit a carriage return enter

I tested the USB3.0 transmission speed, as shown

About half of the U disk's limit speed


USB2.0 speed

The USB transfer function is not yet very popular, but I believe that with the increasing number of terminals in the home, this function will still have some use in the future.

6: Summary

advantage:

â–¶The function of dynamic QoS is very practical, especially for families with a large population

â–¶ Befuddled AC5300

â–¶ Futuristic, understand VR when it becomes popular

Disadvantages:

â–¶ huge volume

â–¶ Signal strength is weaker than expected

â–¶ price... terrible

â–¶ For homes with little network traffic, the experience is not much different from ordinary routers.


After using this expensive router for a period of time, the biggest difference with the old TP-LINK is the stability. The data transmission of the R8500 is very stable. Everyday brushing microblogging, brushing the aunt is the second brush, it may be stained with 5G light. , And the old router will often let the daisy that turns circle look out for a moment and then brush out the content.

In addition, for the first time to experience the wifi of 5G channel, it was found that its performance through the wall ... ... ah ... Although 5G is the future development trend, but I still think that 2.4G is the king of the router, this year's family who can achieve a few homes Blocking the wall to block you signal?

To purple sauce, thanks for watching!
