Using Sohu Video Members? Newifi new route 2 early adopters experience

There are many kinds of router products available today, but in general there are no more than two categories: traditional routers and smart routers. Traditional routers don't need to say much, that is to spend the least money to achieve multi-computer Internet access, the picture is cheap, sex can use. The smart router is more like a miniature computer. It firmly guards the home Internet portal and implements more functions on the router side, freeing users from the complicated computer-side plug-ins.

Today I would like to say is such a router, from neovo's newifi new route 2. Is an intelligent routing product that Lenovo cooperates with JD.com and Sohu Video. What is so special about it? Let's take a look.

In terms of packaging, newifi new routing 2 can be said to be simple to the extreme, ordinary paper box, similar to the packaging style of the work bag unexpectedly this is a router product of nearly 300 yuan, but think about it , Instead of spending money on useless packaging, it is better to make profits to users more affordable, I believe this should also be the original intention of Lenovo's new routing 2 packaging design.

Open the box, in addition to the router host, newifi new routing 2 accessories are not much, there is only one power supply and a manual.

Unlike most of the current products using ugly pack power, Lenovo has always attached great importance to the accessories, workmanship, materials used are rigorous, excellent, giving a sense of practicality.

This is the Lenovo newifi new routing 2, the overall shape and the traditional router products are very different.

This newifi new routing 2 is a trapezoidal design, showing a 30 degree bevel from front to back, with a great sense of design.

Unlike other routers, newifi's new route 2 does not have a built-in antenna. Instead, the antenna is made into a cover plate. When using it, the cover plate can be lifted.

This is how the router works.

There is a cross-shaped hollow under the antenna cover, which can provide heat dissipation for the router. There is a red cross button that is very prominent. This is the switch of the router.

At the bottom there is also a large area of ​​thermal grille, but there is no design for mounting holes. It can be seen that this router product does not want you to hang up and use it.

Looking from the back, the back of the antenna cover marks the position of the built-in antenna. This newifi new route 2 supports dual-band, with 2.4G on the left and 5G on the right. Like most of today's smart routing products, newifi's new route 2 provides a WAN port and two LAN ports. The LAN port is slightly inadequate, but it is commendable that it is equipped with a USB3 port in addition to the USB2.0 port. 0 interface provides protection for high-speed mobile storage devices.

By comparing with the palm, it can be seen that newifi's new route 2 is not large in size and does not occupy too much area on the desktop.

Well, after simply looking at the router's shape design, we focused on the use and operation of the router. After the router is installed, using a computer to open the browser automatically opens the router's setup page without the need for artificial input of IP addresses and other information. This also provides convenience for users who do not understand routing settings. Then you can set the connection method and WIFI password for the router. The process is very simple. It can be said to be simple enough, and even people who have no network setup experience can do it themselves.

After basic configuration, log in using the set password.

The entire management interface is very refreshing, the functions are clear at a glance, and professional terms are all shielded. The purpose is to enable ordinary users to read and understand.

Why do we have to choose a smart router? Where is the difference between smart routers and ordinary routers? The answer is: The smart router can expand the function of the router by installing the plug-in to facilitate the use of the user.

Of course, if you are a professional user, you can also use advanced settings to customize the router more flexibly.

In addition to using a web management router, it is also possible to use a mobile phone APP to manage the router. The APP can be downloaded by scanning the manual and the QR code on the back of newifi's new route2. After the download will automatically scan to find newifi new route 2, and then enter the Jingdong account to bind.

In addition to using the APP for router setup, you can also use the APP to access the router's removable storage space, such as photo albums and videos. This is where the charm of smart routers lies. We can use Baidu cloud disk or Thunder remotely during idle time to download remotely to a storage device inserted in the router. This feature saves time when downloading videos or large files.

Then, one of the most unique features of this newifi new route 2 is that you can bind the Sohu account to the router. Once you use the router for one day, you can get one day of Sohu video members. From this point of view, Sohu's video no longer needs to look at advertisements. , And Sohu video members can watch movies! Do you think this is all? Do not!
