The following is my actual test of the strength of the wireless signal of the "Acer E200 G1 router". Take the three-bedroom apartment I live in as the test environment. I see the unit diagram for the ABCDEFGHIJK, 11 test points for testing.

"Acer E200 G1 router" is installed under the video wall of point A. It tests the 11 test points of the family centered on point A. My width access is 20M bandwidth of China Telecom. Let's take a look at the actual shooting and Actual test data

Point A: Under the video wall, next to the router, the average download speed is 28.72 Mb/s.

Point B: The far end of the living room (left), the average download speed is 22.88Mb/s

Point C: The wall behind the router is separated by a wall, and the average download speed is 21.28 Mb/s (the wife room)

Point D: The wall of the router on the side of the router is separated by a wall with an average download speed of 22.48 Mb/s (daughter room)

E point: My room, the average download speed is 21.44Mb/s

Point F: The kitchen is separated by a wall and the average download speed is 21.47 Mb/s.

Point G: The balcony outside the kitchen is separated by two walls. The average download speed is 19.68 Mb/s.

H: The bathroom is separated by a wall and the average download speed is 21.12 Mb/s.

Point I: The back of the living room is behind (right), separated by a wall, with an average download speed of 17.92 Mb/s.

J: The remote sitting room, separated by a wall, no iron gate, the average download speed is 18.8Mb/s

J point: Outside the house type, separated by a wall, and close the iron gate, the average download speed is 9.54Mb/s. It can be seen that there is a big gap between closed and unclosed wireless data. The thickness and shielding performance of the iron door in my house is just that. ;

Point K: Outside the house type, separated by a wall, and close the iron gate, the elevator port test, the average download speed is 4.93Mb/s; from the above data, the strongest is the elevator port test, after the 5 - The signal attenuation of the 6 walls was tested in elevator buckles. There was still an average speed of 4.93Mb/s.

PC-side network wireless signal test, download WirelessMon, wireless network is the most afraid of the signal is poor, but not necessarily know where the signal is better, then we can use WirelessMon to do monitoring behavior in order to let We understand the download speed or stability of the network;

The intensity value can be seen in the left text box, and the right image can be visually seen that the signal strength is actually measured by the laptop in my room with a signal strength of 99%;

Data Analysis and WirelessMon Wireless Signal Strength Diagrams;

The experience of mobile games, this is undoubtedly the king of glory of the world, the stability of the game and low latency is the king rate; "Acer E200 G1 router" wireless signal stability, the game is very smooth, this did not have to say;

Simple summary:

"Acer E200 G1 router" does not have a fancy appearance, but it is very low-key, the side of the dual cooling metal holes, weight 860 grams, significantly more than the average general router to be a lot of solid, slightly larger size, Qualcomm IPQ4019 quad-core 716Mhz Processor, 256MB RAM, support 2.4G + 5G dual-frequency, support MU-MIMO technology, multiple bandwidth overlay, wireless signal coverage is surprisingly powerful;

Improve:

In terms of hardware, the direction of the interface and the direction of the antenna are not on the same side. This is not very convenient when the cable is used. The second is that there is no standard USB interface, and the mobile hard disk cannot be connected, and scalability is limited. Of course, if some users want to use NAS, they can ignore it.

Software, PC side, set the interface with a bad color, green and white interface, easy to use long-term vertigo; talk about this
