There is an ASUS AC88U in the home. Since I like nothing, I put the router in my study room, which has caused immense troubles at the same time. It is because some homes have poor wifi coverage. There are many ways to solve this problem, but the simplest is to add a WiFi range expander. In the online election to choose to choose a relatively high cost performance EX6150 (of course, you can use the router to change settings, refresh the firmware instead). Why choose the EX6150 because it is simple (lazy) and small.
I chose the EX6150, 1200M signal, 200 fast money, relatively speaking, high cost performance.
I. Book dataWiFi Technology: 802.11ac

Second, watch out of the boxReceived parcels, strong flavor of the cottage, businesses and even the regular packaging gave me save. Simple cartons, milky silencing sea... Not much to say we look at the map, we all understand.
Unpacking 1
There is no color box packaging
Unpacking 2
Unpacking 3
Also sent a line
The information on the back of the box 4 tells the truth. I feel that the plug of the US version should not be like this. No matter what it says, it's easy to use (specially explain this thing is a wide voltage).
Unpacking 5
There is a layer of film (all scratches can be removed)
Out of box 6
All the buttons are here, from top to bottom is the expansion / AP switch, power switch, automatic pairing, reset, Gigabit Ethernet port
Third, the installation settings
Installation 1
Connect the power supply, the indicator light is red, and it turns green in about 1 minute.
Installation 3
With the phone settings (too lazy to open the computer), first disconnect the original router, and then connected to the NETWORK (because not connected to the network, showing the WAN is not available).
Installation 5
Open the browser to enter the IP, enter the settings, do not elaborate, we will point to the new expander settings (this button).
Installation 6 needs to create a net account, if you already have an account, fill in the same password as the original one, and then click Next.
Installation 7 Here is to confirm your choice of expander mode or AP mode. Simply put, the expander is wireless to wireless, and the AP is wired to wireless. The AP is definitely better than the expander signal, but I like the simplicity, so choose the extender mode and continue.
Installation 8 then automatically scans the wireless signal.
Install 9 two frequency bands, a lot of signals, choose your own home without saying it.
Install 10 Enter the router password.
Installation 11 Automatically connect the wireless router, say a few seconds, actually dozens of seconds.
Installation 12 Set the SSID and password for the new signal. If seamless roaming is required, the account password is the same as the router setting. Since I want to measure the signal change, I set a different name.
Installation 13 Waiting to wait and wait again, it feels very long.
After the installation is complete, the wireless information is displayed and you can click Continue.
Installation 15 Then there is no access, what ghosts. After you connect the router for you, the IP of the expander is redistributed and a new IP is required to log in to the setup screen.
Install 16 Log in to the router and check IP to see the connected device EX6150. You should find it all.
Installation 17 Open the browser, enter the IP you just checked, and the router's settings screen is found.
Installation 18 Here you can view the various settings of the expander, which is similar to that of the router. However, if you want to be more simple and understand, you will not go into details.
Installation 20 I bought the US version, which can only be displayed in North America and cannot be changed.
Installation 21
The installation 24 has something different, called FASTLANE. Simply put, it is better to use only one band signal than before.
In addition, the firmware update will pop up during the installation process. I didn't care about confirming the update.
Install update firmware 3
The installation is here, it is very simple, everyone will.
Fourth, the signal testNo investigation, no right to speak. Things are good or bad, used to know.
Let's take a look at the test environment (my home).
Plan
Do not know if you can see clearly, briefly explain, with a total construction area of ​​140m2, three rooms, two rooms and two bathrooms. (Well bathroom and guest bedroom wifi signal is not good)
Each location description:
The router is located in the study room, placed in the far corner of the house;
The extender is located in the middle of the entire house;
Point A is the best signal from the nearest router;
Point B is located in the main bathroom frame structure more original 5g signal difference;
Point C is located in the center of the main bedroom frame structure more original 5g signal;
D point is located in the kitchen console frame structure more original 5g signal difference;
The E point is located in the passenger and frame structure more than the original 5g signal difference;
F point is located in the living room sofa frame structure more original 5g signal is very poor, basically can not be used;
Point G is located in the framework structure of the Guardian Center. The original 5g signal is very poor and basically cannot be used;
H point is located outside the door (what ghosts, outside, is it prepared for the comrades of the net? Or to the brothers who make mistakes at the door?) Frame structure more original 5g signal has not been found, automatically connected Is 2G, the signal is barely available, (because there are children, smoking can only be in the hallway, this is for my own test, haha).
How strong is the signal?
The above picture shows the signal strength and actual use. The closer the value is to 0, the better. Needless to say. From my experience, -55 or more is basically a full signal, -75 or more is a signal that can be used (but not stable), -85 or more should be able to find the signal, but basically can not be used, then lower Even the signal cannot be searched.
Let's take a look at the test data.
ABC
DEF
GH
Test signal collection. Do not see clearly, or come to a form.
Data table
I set the router to automatically convert the frequency band, priority connection 5G, in the absence of signal connection 2.4G, but the actual application will be able to connect 5G signal but the signal is very poor, basically can not access the Internet, but does not jump to 2.4 G's, this is ambiguous (Although jump conditions can be set, but it takes a little groping, I'm too lazy to get it.)
In use, only H point search less than the router 5G signal, so that some positions are paralyzed, connected to 5G but the signal is very poor, not jump 2.4G, helpless. After connecting the expander, the whole house 5G signal is basically not a big problem. However, the smoking department is still old and practical 2.4G signal.
V. SummaryIn fact, this is not a necessity for expanders, and more accurately, it is a lazy choice. Take my family's situation, speaking about the router placed in the current position of the extender, basically all positions can enjoy 5G signal (AC88U can bring with you). If you are not pursuing small size, using old routers to engage in, you can also achieve wireless expansion capabilities. Take a step back and say that setting the router frequency band jump is more reasonable, and the 2.4G working mode that automatically jumps in the weak signal area will not affect the use (this is the home and not the data center. More places where 5G speed is needed).
Of course, it is not recommended that the EX6150 WiFi Range Extender be used. This is a lot of good things, it is easy to use and the signal is stable. For a complex housing structure, large area, do not understand settings (laziness), etc., or need him.
Lastly, we helped analyze and analyze the situation. What is this situation? What is the router to trouble?
What happened to the router?
Sometimes I often think that in the end, one day, the router will be eliminated, and the accurate one will be eliminated. Now that the mobile network is developing too fast, the 5G signal is also out, and the new speed and stability can fully meet the requirements. One day when mobile traffic is included in monthly and annual subscriptions (without caps), and the price tends to be common, then the equipment around us may not need WIFI. Instead, these devices will all have a baseband. All devices are connected to the WAN. For security reasons, there may be virtual LANs.
Since I am not a student of computers and informatization, I do not know much about it. The above remarks are ridiculous. Please do not mind.
