WiFi is not easy to use, power cats to come together - NETGEAR Netgear 500M Wireless Wired Cat & Home Routing

Everyone knows, jellyfish meets everyone again. WiFi and broadband can be said to be another major issue affecting family harmony now, so WiFi is not easy to use at home, and the signal is not good. What else can be done besides changing routers? Many people will say that you can try repeaters, electricity cats. Today we don't talk about repeaters. (We used a certain brand of high-end repeaters. The effect is not ideal. The delay is too high.) Let's talk about electricity cats today. In fact, the first mention of the power cat I refused, because the power cat is a mature technology, appears to be almost the same as the router for a long time, but many people say it is not easy to use, the broadband is weak, ah, the speed is not fast enough, use more The more cards, ah. But recently can not stand the router, use WiFi to play a watch butt, LOL will be dropped, sometimes P card directly to 2000, when the original group to super God, the result is stuck, gas to want to pick up the computer, likeç ¸ router.

Game dropped jellyfish ↑

Of course, this is not my pot of routers, because the router is far from my room, but also by the network cable constraints, because the old residential, home broadband telecommunications fiber or a few years ago pulled into the window from the window, so the house wiring Can not be changed, plus the new house immediately down, and then this side will not live long, and would like to wait for the new house over the line, and then buy a new router, this will temporarily. Therefore, the P value of the game is high, and the problem of dropped calls is still to be solved, although we will not be living here.

This is the structure diagram of the house where the jellyfish is currently living. It is about 120 square meters. It is a brick-and-mortar building. It's drawing off the toilet. Next to the study, everyone puts their brains under their heads. It's just a hand-painted one. This is probably because. Lived in the old community, and lived for more than ten years. We didn't do design and decoration at the beginning (even if we didn't consider network cable and WIFI problems at the time)

Evil and a load-bearing wall, although the WiFi is full in my room, but there will be a significant slowdown and high delay, coupled with that chicken millet router generation, is a nightmare. Just bought back when it was still very easy to use, now more and more difficult to use, the speed is also mentioned from the 50M 100M, more and more equipment, I feel more and more powerless router.

In fact, when it comes to routers, I recommend Amway this high-end router to my friends every day, but I haven't changed it myself because the millet routers and the Xiaomi box, as well as some small hardware of the network disk and the smart home, are still very easy to use, but I am talking about surfing the Internet. It is true that chains are often dropped at critical moments. Every day, a regular restart will not save it. It really means "what you want to give up."

Power cats I was forced to see some of the forums and a lot of people said a lot of shortcomings, I have been convinced that power cats are not easy to use, (for example, Linus would prefer to do a hole in the villa does not use power cats), and found Zhang Aunt There are only a few articles on power cats, and many people comment on them. I seem to have said so.

Since it is a test of water, why don't I find a foreign junk to play with it (pretend to pick up rubbish) to try the mentality and start picking up the garbage power cats? Actually these foreign power cats are not sold in China, so There is only this channel, you are in the crown store or drill shop to buy this is not, you can not choose the price from the bottom of the election, can not find a new power purchasing cat, and may not be worthwhile, no market?

AV500 Taobao prices about a pair of the price of 150 yuan, or very cheap, I found a shop before buying a friend to buy ASUS AC68U, and saw several prices and goods are basically the same, if you want to buy can go Soso.

Buy Taobao search link:

Just bought the home I bought, the seller off the shelf, to avoid advertising suspects, this is a fall.

Meiya purchase link:

The price of the United States and Asia is about 90 US dollars. As to why there is such a big difference, we all understand that, of course, it is just to try to buy it (in fact, my department is poor).

Meia's above evaluation is not bad, to meet my purpose.

This looks like a power cat, but no, he can use it alone. As for the better, it depends on the actual use of the place and use, anyway, I do not like repeaters.

First, let's talk about the search for electric cats on Taobao. Some sellers will add power cats or Taobao to the search keyword in the wireless repeater. There are problems. The power cats are used in pairs. If they can be used alone, Must be a repeater, of course, a single power cat is also sold, but you can only use one can certainly not, but different brands of different types of power cats can basically be mixed use.

WiFi repeaters and power cats are two completely different principles. The repeater receives WiFi and then launches WiFi. The performance through the wall is not good, but the power cat uses the power line and does not need to consider through the wall.

Electricity cat works:

That is equivalent to avoiding wiring, using a power line to connect a network cable anywhere. Many routers now have such an integrated "child" router set, of course, this is not a new technology, such as Huawei. Xiaomi currently only has wireless relays, relying on other Xiaomi routers for wired and wireless relays, and its 38-yuan amplifier. Of course, NETGEAR and ASUS, Cisco, and DoS can also be used with their own power cats.

Of course, if you do not like this, Huawei's two power cats are also good, I looked at the Huawei glory series and 350 yuan power cat does not have WiFi capabilities, suitable for only cable, high-end models with WiFi capabilities . The other brands of electric cats are nothing more than those sold by Tenda and TPLINK. I don't like these two brands.

Domestic electricity cats:

If your home's speed is not very fast, you can buy 200M power cats, the price will be cheaper, it is enough:

One with four interface power cats, this is what I want to buy, because there are four ports, and the average price Taobao set 80 yuan, very cheap, but asked a few sellers, say 100M broadband can not play this full performance , The power cat itself may run dissatisfaction, of course, it is still very attractive to delay four, there is a WD Western Digital, but also very cheap, but because there is only 200M, without WiFi, you need to buy a router (If you buy again can be combined into a millet routing wired relay, similar to the amplifier can be the same frequency) Friends of this idea can consider.

And this is the same as the four nets are the power cord, can be put on the desktop, very forcing, but also bright.

Other brand model 500M power cats:

500M only found two network ports, no four network ports.

Advantages: dual network ports, can be connected to the router alone, then a separate computer.

Gigabit Power Cats:

Of course, this is a single price, in fact, this 1200M more cost-effective, but as a test of water I still bought a cheap AV500

Because Gigabit has a smaller choice, the price is slightly higher, and fewer people buy it.

In summary, look AV500 suit is the most cost-effective, first with wireless capabilities, 500M+300M is enough, of course, not bad money, then decisive on the 1200M, if you are not satisfied with the power of the cat's wireless function can choose not to have wireless capabilities, One by one, independent WiFi, wired relays, amplifiers, whatever it takes.

Q: Power cats are so good? Can I solve the Internet problem with a poorly connected router?

A: Of course not. If you use it lightly, Taobao’s ten bucks of Japanese AU router will do, and it will be 5G. Of course not, or what is the flagship of Qianyuan? Routers, like computer phones, are also built on hardware, memory, CPU, chips, and so on. There is also a good system. If you have many devices and good experience, your main route must start at 500+. . AC68U, AC1750 and so on are all very cost-effective options. If your network speed is above 100M, then you must buy a Gigabit router. The 300M router is definitely not enough, certainly it is 1750M, 1900M or higher. .

What performance of your main route will, of course, affect the performance of your power cat. Due to the limited space, the introduction of the main route will not say much.

These are very good main routes, R7000 and AC68U have been bought to friends Amway, but the US version, it is cheaper.

If your main route is too bad, electric cats will not save you.

If you are on the big flagship AC5300, compared to you do not need electricity cat, unless your home is a large villa, the villa may be wiring is very good, it seems not to use.

After a wave of introductions and Amway finished, you can begin to formally talk about jellyfish power cats. The above content is hand-to-hand. If there is still help for you, welcome to like or pay attention. Other Internet topics can also be discussed in the comments. Jellyfish are not professional practitioners. It is inevitable that they will be mistakes. They are just hobbies.

It seems that this is a way to save money for the router and not upgrade the router. I help you test the water, get off safely.

Of course, if you want to ask me if I am newly refurbished, I will choose the cabling or power cat. I would prefer the cabling, because it would be more secure, and we have to wait for the delivery of new houses. Operators will enter and say, I hope that the conscience operators can give me a room. Good line (it seems impossible).

Well, now take a formal look at jellyfish's test water cats:

First of all, the jellyfish family's home broadband is telecommunication 100M, 199 yuan file includes the mobile phone charges and flow. However, it is asymmetric broadband, the upload speed is very slow, as if listening to friends say that mobile has symmetrical broadband, upload and download speed is quite, just conscience.

Of course, netware is not a question of quality, but it's just a matter of thinking. The wired power cat XAV5201 is connected to the router for output. The wire is used as the transmission medium, and the other end is connected to an XWN5001 for reception. The wireless and wired clients can be used together, which is very convenient and can support IPTV.

Although it is foreign garbage, it is still quite new.

One is a European standard plug, one is a good one, and the other is a standard plug.

There is no mark on the right side, usually cut off the mark or the mark is directly ripped off.

Well, quite new.

The two power cats have plugs under the network cables. The small network cable ports are used to connect routers. Large ones can connect network cables to computers or connect new routers and repeaters. There are two or four mouths to be bought here, but generally one mouth and two mouths are enough.

There is a pairing reset button here. The seller says that it is automatically linked.

The other one has the same above.

Although Made in China, this cat is not sold in the Chinese market. Of course, none of the net cats in China are sold in China.

The network cables sent by sellers should be five or five lines, and certainly not six.

Now try connecting to the router. Everyone can ignore this dirty corner. The millet generation also used it for a long time. I think its deadline is coming.

By the way, Xiaomi's router is more appropriate than the chicken ribs.

The installation is very, very simple. A small power cat is plugged into a socket, and a cable is connected to the LAN port behind the router. The original router does not require any settings and is compatible with all routers.

Here to say European standard plug benefits, because a long section, just another jack can be inserted other things, if the American standard straight, because the old socket hole is very close, the power cat will just block the jack, another The socket is nothing worse than it is. At the end of the test, the new plug-in board will be blocked as wide as the hole pitch, so it seems that the European standard is not a bad thing.

Just said the plug, by the way, the voltage and plug standards of all countries in the world

The Voltage Profiles of Various Countries in the World: At present, there are two types of voltages used in indoor electricity consumption in various countries of the world: 100V to 130V and 220 to 240V. 100V, 110 ~ 130V is classified as low pressure, such as the United States, Japan, and the voltage on the ship, focusing on safety; 220 ~ 240V is called high pressure, including 220 volts in China and 230 volts in the United Kingdom and many European countries, Focus on efficiency. Countries with 220 to 230 V voltages also use 110 to 130 V, such as Sweden and Russia. 100V: Japan, Korea 2 countries.

110 ~ 130V: China Taiwan, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Cuba, Lebanon and other 30 countries.

220 ~ 230V: China, Hong Kong (200V), Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, India, Singapore, Thailand, Netherlands, Spain, Greece, Austria, Philippines, Norway about 120 countries.

Of course, the only thing that can be used in mainland China is basically the American Standard and the European Standard.

Another larger power cat is the American Standard, which perfectly blocked the only outlet in my room. Even the patch panel could not be inserted. Finally, in order to secure the network more securely, the patch panel received one from the balcony. Therefore, it is not a good idea to say that you don’t know how to disembodied the horse. It's not a bad idea that the European standard plug is long.

After 30 seconds of waiting for the search, the power cat's indicator light turns green. Then the router can be searched for in the WiFi option. Once connected, it can be accessed directly. Of course, other settings are the same as ordinary routers.

After connecting, it will automatically jump to the settings interface, found on the phone bad settings, decisive or on the computer's web page settings.

The computer plugs in the Internet cable or connects to the WiFi, and then enters in the browser: Set up, the default login user name and password are the same as the products of other netware. It is admin and password. I am really smart.

Of course, the default management password, or their own change, more secure.

The router setting interface is all in English. Since this power cat is not sold in China, there is no Chinese in the language options. However, setting up a router or a bit of English is not difficult and very simple. Playability is not high as a repeater, and it does not need to be set too much.

Of course, if you really can't read it, you can also translate it using web pages.

Here need to change in the wireless settings, the default is 145M, changed to 300M, on the line, and now it seems 300M router is slag can not be used, but only used in my room alone, or more than enough. Originally wanted to clone IP and SSID, the same frequency when the repeater, but tried it, the effect is not ideal, automatic switching is not easy to use, not as good as their own manual switching, up to 3 seconds. So still open a WiFi alone, again to prove that I was right.

The playability is not high, even the NETGEAR's own router management APP can not be used, but! It is really useful, I spent a week, did not restart, WiFi and wired Internet are very stable, 100% spike I use the millet generation router, 300M easy spike 1000M router.

This way as a wired relay (power cat open WiFi) with two or three WiFi devices and a computer with a wired network, is perfect.

In the living room, the mobile phone is connected to the main route speed, do not look fast, but the millet router is really not easy to use, who knows who.

You can play games with confidence.

The speed of the Internet is not as full as other buyers on the Internet can say. It can even run out of higher levels. It may be the problem of old residential outlets or wires. Will not everyone be able to run full speed? But can run half the speed of 100M broadband, is still very good, with Speedtest test P value is only 1MS, because it is asymmetric broadband telecom, upload speed is relatively normal, download can go to 44M, which is 4-5M download Speed ​​is enough, as long as the P value is low, I will be satisfied with no delay.


The cable speed is very stable, but only in the original route. If the speed of your home is high, it is harmless. Of course, depending on the circumstances of your home, you may be running full.

A week-long test was conducted and the electric cat was stable.

Another point is better, as a secondary router connected to the main route of the millet router, that is, using a mobile phone or computer to connect the power cat, you can still access the hard drive in the millet router, you can still control the millet box, still can directly manage Millet router.

Simply put, look at the picture, the wired display of the mobile phone display, that is, everything does not affect, I connect this power cat (repeater, secondary routing) can still use the original routing function, not to switch back, this point Very convenient. Chicken chicken millet route, destroy my youth, thanks to my money ah. The fancy and useful features make it forget its job! I want a good internet experience!

The power cat's WiFi speed is the same as the network cable, only half, the delay is not high (do not know why use the speedtest measured a bit high), but open the web and video cache quickly, the original router WiFi test delay in my room is very Low, but open the webpage sometimes will not come out, watching the video cache is not fast enough, but also because more and more equipment, usually 8-10 devices online, CPU and memory pressure are great, there is the legend If you want to change the position, it is not good to turn over the signal. Now you can use one person's exclusive WiFi, only one or two devices, of course, the speed is stable and fast, this feeling is still very good.

Let's look at the heat and temperature. The heat is actually not very serious. The temperature for continuous operation for one week is 50°C.

Game test:

This is the most important use for buying this repeater, because the room can't pull the network cable, need the wired steady play.

Since using this power cat, you can finally put Super God, ten kills, and twenty killers. It's so happy that you don't have to use pit teammates anymore. Of course if I say this kind of kind of feeling, I don't care. I don't care. It's good to be happy.

Without using TGP acceleration and other accelerators, the P value in each round is stable between 35-45, it is not dropped, and there is no sudden increase in P value. Although I did not want to be able to 15-25MS, but this stable has made me very satisfied, the actual use of computers directly pig routing is also the case, so this pot is still dumped to the millet router, of course, no careful optimization and a lot of equipment Access, I am very satisfied with this achievement.

I originally connected to the WiFi when the P value of 151M is super God's, of course, there is no WiFi is not lost if the chain is generally 45MS, but it will drop the chain! Suddenly it becomes 100MS, even if it is stuck to 2000MS, then this game can't be played.

In the case of continuous use for a week (the main router has a timer switch function) can be stable and continuous work, the middle of the yellow light again, pull off from the Kai, the rest are basically green, of course, this with you The main route also has a certain relationship, the main route can not be too bad, (millet routing hardware is no problem, the cable is also OK, wireless is really bad.) Netcat's power cat can work steadily, wired and wireless are very satisfied. I think if you can get smart sockets, timing reboots will perform better.

to sum up:

Advantages: As a no-wiring, and instead of a repeater, it is still good to use and it has met my requirements. There is no problem with using it for a long time.

Disadvantages: not all people can run full speed, suiting measures to local conditions, if your home network speed is below 10M, then we must consider clearly, of course, are now starting 100M.

500M wired 300 wireless is still enough, of course, there is one point is that the power cat for security, only supports the use of a meter, cross-meter can not be used, of course, this is not very important, unless you have special needs, basically will not affect Use to ordinary users.

Overall, the test of the power cat was still very successful. It was originally a mindset of buying and playing, but I was really satisfied. Of course, the price of 150 pairs was also very good. It is worthwhile to make profits, of course, to buy new ones or to buy old ones to see everyone's choices. To this, one can drag several and support IPTV. IPTV can also avoid wiring.

Finally, welcome everyone to pay attention to this jellyfish, and you can receive my article from the first time. You can enjoy the rewards, coins, collections, and favorite comments. You can also share it with your friends. (( ̅̑⌣ ̅̑•)✧˖°
