2015 Year in Review: Top Ten Essential Things for Family - Router

In an era where no food, no drink, no money, and no WiFi are available, the status of wireless routers has been universally recognized. In the past 2015, the number of wireless terminal devices in the hands of users has been steadily increasing. It is no longer a rare thing that a home has more than 10 terminals that need to connect to WiFi. A wireless router with powerful performance and stable operation is basically already Become a must-have for the family.


Now, the wireless WiFi standard has gradually moved from low-speed 802.11n to high-speed 802.11ac, and various terminal devices such as smart phones and tablet computers are also supporting the 802.11ac standard one after another. Therefore, the fastest-growing routers in 2015 will undoubtedly be each one. 802.11ac standard product. This time we have selected 10 popular router products in 2015. These routers are either benchmarking products, or they are more controversial in the player group, some have their own unique designs, and all of them are very eye-catching. The product.
The following are the ten routers we have selected, in no particular order. We also welcome players to write their own annual routing and discuss it with us.

Netgear R8500 Nighthawks X8


2015 was the year that the 802.11ac Wave 2 router broke out. From the very beginning of the AC2350 level to the latest AC5300 level, the corresponding product coverage was already available. In the AC5300-class router, although the NETGEAR R8500 Nighthawk X8 is not the first product to be released, it is indeed the first product to be listed in the country, thus also looking at a new chapter of the flagship home router.

In terms of specifications, the Netgear R8500 Nighthawk X8 is impeccable. It adopts a three-band design and has a 2.4GHz frequency band and two 5GHz frequency bands. It supports 4x4 MU-MIMO technology and 1024-QAM modulation mode, providing up to 1000Mbps+ The theoretical wireless bandwidth of 2166Mbps+2166Mbps, active antenna design, dual-core 1.4GHz processor, 512MB of memory, and 128MB of flash memory provide strong performance guarantees. The wired network interface is also very rich, with 1 WAN plus 6 LANs. The interface is designed to meet the home needs of most players.

ASUS RT-AC88U Router

The AC3200 class router can be said to span two generations of 802.11ac Wave 1 and 802.11ac Wave 2. The first generation AC3200 class router is a netband R8000 Nighthawk X6 as the representative of three-band products, and the second generation of AC3200 routers. It is the flagship of dual-band, and the representative is ASUS RT-AC88U router.

The ASUS RT-AC88U is based on the second-generation Broadcom 5G WiFi XStream platform. The 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band design includes a dual-core 1.4GHz processor, 512MB of memory and 128MB of flash memory. It supports 4x4 MU-MIMO and 1024-QAM modes. The theoretical network speed of 1000Mbps+2166Mbps. In terms of I/O interfaces, the RT-AC88U provides eight Gigabit LAN interfaces and one Gigabit WAN interface. Such a large-scale wired network interface is very rare on home routers. For players with multiple wired network devices It can be considered an excellent design.

Linksys WRT1900AC v2 Router

After Linksys withdrew from the Chinese market in 2009, players would like to purchase their products. Haitao is basically the only way, but even so many enthusiast-level routing players believe in Linksys' WRT series routers. Linksys naturally sees the enthusiasm of many players. Since July of last year, the classic blue color has once again appeared in the Chinese market. The WRT1900AC V2 router is the first gift for Linksys to return to the Chinese market.

Of course, the Linksys WRT1900AC V2 still belongs to the 802.11ac Wave 1 product in terms of specifications. The theoretical wireless bandwidth of 600Mbps+1300Mbps is powerful enough, but it is still weaker than the 802.11ac Wave 2 flagship in the same period. However, Linksys' WRT series routers have always adhered to the open source road. This is a crucial issue for router players. It also means that the Linksys WRT1900AC V2 has unmatched playability of other products.

Pole routing 3

Compared with Pole Route 2, Pole Route 3 continues the design of the metal housing, and it also uses a fashionable local gold color scheme to increase the volume while also adopting a 3-antenna design to enhance the signal performance and support the HiWiFi OS with plug-in extension function. It is also very easy to use, originally these are to please the consumer's design, but the polar route 3 hardware specifications put it on the player's discussion.

In fact, the difference between the hardware configuration of the polar routing 3 and the polar routing 2 is only a Gigabit LAN interface. Both use the same set of platforms, and only the theoretical wireless bandwidth of 300Mbps+867Mbps, the WAN interface and the other one. LAN interface is also a hundred trillion level. This configuration made the only Gigabit LAN interface of Pole Route 3 somewhat tiring and made Pole Route 3 a controversial product.

Huawei Glory Route Pro


Huawei has been working in the home router field for many years, and its glory brand will naturally not miss router products. Compared with Glory Routing and Glory Cube, Glory Routing Pro is more accurate and its specifications are more comprehensive. Both wireless and wired networks reach the Gigabit level. This has a high playability in smart router products.

Glory Routing Pro builds on the Cortex-A9 HiSilicon dual-core processor, with 256MB DDR3 memory and 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band design, providing theoretical wireless bandwidth of 300Mbps+867Mbps. It is an AC1200-class product, and wired networks are equipped with One Gigabit WAN and four Gigabit LANs are undoubtedly more practical than other AC1200-class products that use the Fast Ethernet network interface.

Millet Router

Millet routers have been developed for two generations so far. Compared to the first generation products, the second-generation millet routers have stronger performance. The CPU has been upgraded from the 1GHz clock frequency of 1.4GHz, has 256MB DDR3 memory and 512MB SLCNAND flash memory, and can provide 300Mbps. The theoretical wireless bandwidth of +867 Mbps, gigabit wired network, and active cooling system are also available.

However, the biggest feature of the second generation of millet routers is that it comes standard with a 3.5-inch HDD HDD monitor. The standard version is 1TB and the optional version is 6TB. What are the benefits of having a hard drive? That is, it can be used as a NAS, it can support on-hook download and file sharing, and it is convenient enough to use.

Meizu router mini


Mobile phone makers have long been a wireless router, and Meizu has also launched a Meizu router mini for a while. This version is divided into two versions, the single-band version only supports 2.4GHz band and 802.11n standard, the theoretical bandwidth of 300Mbps; dual-band version supports the 2.4GHz/5GHz band and 802.11ac standard, the theoretical bandwidth of 300Mbps+433Mbps, from the specifications At best, it is the AC750 level product that is common on the market, and only one wired network interface is provided, and the equipment expansion capability is limited.

However, Meizu router mini has a big advantage, its size is only equivalent to the size of the palm, and the built-in power adapter, can be directly inserted in the power socket can be used, does not occupy the position and portability impeccable, travel can take with you The last one is no longer afraid that the hotel will only provide wired networks.

Netcore 360 ​​Security Route 5G


Earlier in the field of routers, Netcore and 360 cooperated with 360 to launch the 360 ​​security routing P1. The biggest feature of this router is the addition of 360 security technology, claiming to be greatly improved in terms of security compared to other intelligent routers. However, the hardware level of the 360 ​​security routing P1 itself is not very high. It only supports 2.4 GHz single-band, and the theoretical bandwidth is only 300 Mbps. Obviously, in the 802.11ac era, it is not enough to see.

For this purpose, Netcore and 360 have jointly launched the 360 ​​Security Routing 5G. As the name implies, it adds support for the 5GHz band and the 802.11ac standard on the basis of P1, and the network standard has been upgraded to the AC1200 level, which can provide the theoretical bandwidth of 300Mbps+867Mbps. Compared to the earlier P1, the current 360 security route 5G is more popular with players, and you need to buy it on JD.

TP-LINK TL-WDR6510


In general, to adjust the parameters of the router, either to use the PC to enter the background of the router, or to use the mobile APP remote settings, no matter which way you must prepare a device. In order to make the setup of the router easier, TP-LINK added a touch screen to its own product so that the user can directly set the parameters of the router.

The TL-WDR6510 is the latest product of TP-LINK touch routing. It belongs to the AC1300 level. The theoretical bandwidth of the 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band is 450 Mbps+867 Mbps. The TL-WDR6510 has a relatively stylish design, but the wired network has only a hundred megabits. Slight regret. As the biggest feature, it is equipped with a resistive touch screen with a resolution of 320240 and a dedicated stylus pen, which can set network parameters directly on the router, eliminating the need for users to find the terminal to set.

Netgear R6300 v2


Selecting the R6300 v2 as the top ten router in 2015 is not about making up for it, but because it is really popular. Although this is a product that was released in 2013, the R6300 v2 is not inferior to other routers of the same price point. The dual-core processor, 256MB of memory, and 128MB of flash memory are today Still high-end level, the theoretical rate of 450Mbps + 1300Mbps can also fully meet the needs of most home users, although the official offer is 699 yuan, but the actual transaction price may only need 500 yuan or even lower, high cost performance.

More importantly, the R6300 v2 not only has a stable NETGEAR official firmware, it also has Open-WRT, DD-WRT, Tomato, Merlin and other third-party firmware can be brushed, playability and scalability are very Strong. In 2015, no less than 20 friends around the company had consultations on the R6300 v2 purchase. Netnet even launched an enhanced version of the R6400 on the basis of the R6300 v2. This is enough to explain that this router was born in 2013. It is still a hot product.
