old.
Let me deeply feel this on the sofa in the middle of the night, in addition to the Lawton that could not be eliminated after a week's business trip, there is still more than three digits of speed on mobile phone testing tools.
The last time I was aware of the broadband in my home, it seemed like I was worried about whether I should choose 2 mps or 4 mbps during the high school summer vacation.
Even Millet's cheapest router series are upgraded to Gigabit Ethernet.
Thin and light is the first impression that Millet Router 4 gives me the most intuitive appearance.
With a hand-to-hand ratio, the thinnest part of the machine is smaller than the width of a standard USB port, and the thickest place is just the same as the packaging of the McDonald's McLae chicken with sauce.
The most intuitive advantage of such a design is that it is convenient for young people to place their own network backbone in a tense living space, and juxtaposition with various small and fresh ornaments is not abrupt.
The new MiNET button on the front we will say later, the white matte front material feels good, on the contrary, that circle of silver ring looks a lot of sudden.
The back of the design of a large number of cooling holes, helps to emit heat in a small volume as soon as possible, but the naked eye of the circuit board exposed the work is limited by the cramp of the price, but also disguised reminds us that the dust-proof work of this equipment will be a challenge.
The design of the four-antenna antenna is upgraded to the standard of the automobile atmosphere lamp, and it is visually very domineering. It also helps improve the signal quality.
However, seeing the interface part is a bit depressing for enthusiasts.
Although this generation of routers completely replaced the Gigabit Ethernet ports, the design of only two LAN ports will make the network layout of the users in the home a bit more complicated. The design of the USB interface will be cancelled and the Xiaomi router will be removed. The playability is greatly reduced.
â–² My use of millet router Pro interface usage
Compared with 3G, a millet router that also uses MediaTek's MT7261A main control chip, the memory capacity of Xiaomi's routers has been reduced from 256MB to 128MB, which is also in line with the effort to update prices from the previous 249 yuan interval to the 199 yuan interval. Therefore, our investigation of Millet Router 4 focuses more on signal strength and ease of use.
To be honest, my previous one-year-old Xiaomi's router Pro gave me great support in terms of functionality, but the signal coverage just left a bit of a corner in my home. Due to the limited room type, the router was in my bedroom bed. The head was separated by 3 walls, and there wasn't a good position in the middle to add a signal amplifier. As a result, I often needed to switch the phone back to the 4G network during sleep time to avoid losing information.

In a simple test, the signal from Xiaomi's router 4 is even better than that of Pro. At a distance of 1 meter from the router, Xiaomi's router 4 is better at absolute value.
When it came to the corner of the bedroom, the signal strength of Pro began to decay, and the signal of Xiaomi's router 4 remained stable.
Even if we come to the elevator outside the house, the signal from Xiaomi's router 4 is already poor, but we can still maintain the strength of the 1st gear connection. At this time, Xiaomi Pro's signal has not even been searched.
Millet routers rely on the support of the Xiaomi WiFi APP, making setup adjustments extremely simple. After basically connecting signals, you can follow the wizard to complete all the preparation work.
This time in the hardware aspect, Xiaomi Router 4 introduced the MiNET function. For millet series devices that meet this standard, it will not need the previously complicated manual connection function. Just click the MiNET button on the front of the router and the device will automatically join the network.
We tested with Xiaomi WiFi Amplifier 2. When the amplifier was connected in the bedroom, the router could not find the device. After moving the amplifier into the living room near the router, it was normally connected. Generally speaking, compared to the previous one. The connection method is really faster, but because the entire process is not visualized, plus the current stability of the existing optimization space, it will indeed make people feel confused in the case of unrecognized.
Few people may remember that just as in 2015, routers were still one of the three core businesses of Xiao Mi’s own “maintenanceâ€, and with the development and complexity of Xiaomi’s ecological chain in the past three years, Xiaomi’s routers occupied it. The status is gradually marginalized, and millet routers are still absent in the latest Mesh networks and 10G routers.
The $199 millet router may have made Xiaomi even earlier when he entered young people's families. However, these young people may no longer have a fever.
