Three thousand feet of mansion is not afraid - Mount route M1 evaluation

I am very happy to share my assessment report on M1. Thanks for what's worth buying websites to give me this evaluation opportunity!

The evaluation report will consist of the following five parts:

First, the evaluation of the appearance and construction of M1 routing;

Second, the friction routing M1 wireless signal performance evaluation;

Third, motorcycle routing M1 special parental control and intelligent Qos and other functional tests;

Fourth, friction routing M1 cooling capacity assessment;

5. Summary and summary of M1's advantages and disadvantages.

First, we will provide the hardware specifications of the M1 route (source official website), and immediately start the evaluation report:

First, the friction M1 appearance and workmanship assessment:

After watching the above boxing video, let's take a closer look at the appearance of the M1.

The M1 is full of white, home feel full, but easily dirty. Virgo's friends should remember to wipe the router every day.

The M1 has four non-detachable antennas. Each antenna can be rotated 180 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically.

There is a diamond grid pattern on the top surface of M1, which adds a little change to the monotonous white. The pattern lines are concave, and the problem of dust accumulation becomes more pronounced as the use time becomes longer. Virgo's friends should remember to wipe the router every day.

The silver mirror of the motorcycle LOGO is printed in the middle of the surface, it is eye-catching! M is the initial letter of the brand name English Motorola.

"Standard arched" design. The frontal arch arc is naturally full, but the lower end of the arch arc has a little water chestnut.

From the side to see the motorcycle route M1, its design is low before the high slope.

There are 6 interfaces on the back of M1. From left to right are: power interface, WAN interface and 4 LAN interfaces. Immediately following the interface, there is a small hole on the right, which is a reset button for the user to restore the router's factory settings.

The four antennas of the routing M1 are symmetrically distributed on both sides and the rear of the router. At the bottom of the router is a large number of cross grille cooling holes. Look at the heat sink lineup and estimate that its heat output will not be small. There will be thermal evaluation below. At the bottom of the router there are only two feet, arranged in the back position. In actual use, the placement of M1 is stable.

The length of the M1 bus 4 is the same as the length of the antenna and is about 17 cm long.

There is only one indicator lamp on the M1 router, hidden under the LOGO on the front of the router. The indicator light can emit two colors of orange and white, which can be used for two different states of constant light and flicker. The indicator light can only be found when the power is on, and will not damage the overall appearance of the router. And the brightness of the indicator light is relatively low, at night in the bedroom driving the router without fear of light affect sleep, this design must be like! (The blue light of my home route is bright enough to be used as a night light)

The instruction manual attached to the M1 routing device describes in detail the role of the router LEDs and the interfaces. Computer white is easy to install.

The M1 router uses a 12V 1A DC power adapter to supply power. The surface of the adapter is frosted. The color and the color of the router are consistent and white. The power cord is longer than 1.2 meters, and there is no problem at home.

Finally, weigh the weight of the M1. The router host weighs 266 grams and the power adapter weighs 85 grams. The above data error is plus or minus 2 grams.

Mount M1 has a good workmanship. Although the appearance of white monotonous, but arched design is also how much to save a little face points. Unlike the old-fashioned design of professional equipment, the design of Mount M1 is more biased toward the home.

Second, friction route M1 wireless signal performance evaluation:

Technology homes who choose digital products will not go to pick what design. Like practical consumers, they are more concerned about the performance of the device. Test the wireless signal performance of M1 routing now.

First test the M1 wireless signal coverage.

Above is a simple rough plan. The black squares represent the houses and the white space is the streets. The route M1 is located in the center of the second floor of a house. I connected the mobile phone to the wifi provided by M1 and then walked out of the house and walked to use the wifi. After I left the house, I took 30 steps along the arterial road and then turned into the crossroads. After taking 6 steps on the crossroads, my mobile phone finally lost the WiFi signal routing M1. Before the disappearance of the wifi signal, my mobile phone has been able to surf the Internet smoothly, even if the mobile phone displays wifi signals with only one cell. Before roughly estimating the disappearance of the wifi signal, I was about 18 meters away from the router, separating the two houses in the middle (calculate the house where the router itself is located). With such signal coverage, are you afraid that your own 3,000-foot luxury home will have no wifi signal?

Now go out WirelessMon and do another wireless signal strength test.

The figure above shows the structure of the room where M1 is installed. The route is placed in the center of the second floor of the house. Six signal detection points were selected respectively, and WirelessMon software on the laptop computer was used to detect the strength of the wireless signal received by the computer at the detection point. The six detection points are:

1. On the same floor, the computer is within half a meter of the horizontal distance from the router. There is no barrier between the computer and the router.

2, the same floor, the computer is about 3 meters away from the router at a horizontal distance, there is no barrier between the computer and the router.

3, the same floor, the computer from the router at a horizontal distance of about 3 meters, there is a metal door between the computer and the router block.

4. On the same floor, the computer is located at a horizontal distance of about 4 meters from the router. There is a cement wall and wooden door blocking between the computer and the router.

5, different floors (router on the 2nd floor, the computer is on the 1st floor), the floor height is about 3.8 meters, the computer is about 3 meters away from the router, there is a cement floor blocking between the computer and the router.

6, different floors (router on the 2nd floor, the computer is on the 1st floor), floor height of about 3.8 meters, the computer is placed in a closed room on the first floor, between the computer and the router there is cement floor, cement wall and wooden door block.

The computer's network card configuration is as above. Below are the measured signal strengths at six different signal measurement points.

The figure above shows the wireless signal strength measured at signal detection point 1.

The figure above shows the wireless signal strength measured by signal detection point 2.

The figure above shows the wireless signal strength measured at signal detection point 3. Wireless signal strength has a certain degree of fluctuation.

The figure above shows the wireless signal strength measured by signal detection point 4. Wireless signal strength has a certain degree of fluctuation.

The figure above shows the wireless signal strength measured at signal detection point 5. Wireless signal strength has a certain degree of fluctuation.

The figure above shows the wireless signal strength measured at signal detection point 6. Wireless signal strength has a certain degree of fluctuation.

The computer can normally access the Internet at the above six different wireless signal detection points.

The Motorola M1's wireless signal coverage is large. As for the wireless signal performance, everyone can judge it.

Third, motorcycle routing M1 unique parental control and smart Qos and other functional tests:

Motorola M1 uses Qos smart distribution network speed and parental control functions as selling points. Here's a detailed look at these features.

The route M1 can be controlled by the mobile phone APP. Therefore, I use the iPad to connect the M1. After the M1 is powered on, it can connect to the mobile device. The first time you use the router, you need to first set the account and password for the router to connect to the Internet, and the password for the user to manage the router. After the setup is complete, the mobile device reconnects to the router to go online and use all of the router's features.

Here is a point to remind, if you want to use the "Parental Control" feature, the router's administrator password is best not the same as the router's connection password, or "Parental Control" settings are wasted.

After you can access the Internet normally, you can download the router's mobile phone control APP - routing. There are several ways to download the "Mounting Route". You can scan the QR code on the router's instruction manual, or you can search the Internet by yourself. In view of the fact that Lee Sang Li ghosts are difficult to distinguish, for the first time the friend who used M1 to route M1 is still scanning the QR code on the manual to download it!

The route app requires the administrator password of the router to log in. After logging in, you can view all users who have connected to the router (both online and offline). And manage each user.

The network settings can be made in the APP.

Modify the connection password for the route in the APP.

Manage guest networks in the app.

Open the intelligent flow control mode in the APP to quickly switch between different flow control modes.

You can also modify the administrator password.

Even upgrade the router firmware.

Most of the functions of M1 can be set in the route APP. However, the most complete routing control function is still required to log in to 192.168.51.1. For example, in the parental control function of M1, the setting of the control web page access content does not find a corresponding setting option on the mobile phone APP.

Since it comes to parental control. Test the M1 parental control function first.

The parental control function of M1 can specify the time period for which a specific device can access the Internet and the websites that can be accessed.

First add the objects to be controlled (Internet devices). Here I chose my iPad.

Then you can specify the period of time the device is allowed to access the Internet. And you can specify which of the 7 days of the week can access the Internet, and those days can not be online.

Further you can specify "Only a website (up to 8 websites)". Mom and Dad no longer have to worry about the children learning bad online. However, it is really a bit less than a maximum of eight different websites. Maybe I use adult greed to measure children's innocence. It is possible to give children access to a Baidu encyclopedia website. He can also play for several years.

The parental control function of M1 is very efficient. As soon as the time arrives, the network will be cut off. Users who are set to allow access to the site's address will only have access to those sites that they have set up. Other sites will not be able to open it.

However, the computer is still less clever than its inventor - human. After testing, the restriction on the access content in the parental control function of the M1 route is invalid for the APP. For example, there is no setting to allow access to the “what is worth buying” website, as long as you run the “what is worth buying” app, you can browse the “what is worth buying” online content in the APP.

The question came again: The websites I want to visit are neither set to allow access nor have APPs to browse. What should I do? simple! The solution is: install a VPN! The restrictions on access to websites in the parental control function are completely ineffective when the Internet appliance uses VPN software. Just open the VPN, what network you want to go to. Haha! Do not let the children use the home routing M1 router to see this article! Otherwise, you have to check every day whether the computer has stolen VPN software. what!

Now let's test another feature of the M1 routing router - smart QoS speed distribution. The specific principle is unknown, and the description seems to say that, for example, if the “video priority” traffic control mode is enabled, the router will allocate the bandwidth to video playback. So, do you really have to be afraid of being robbed of bandwidth and traffic by other devices while watching online video? See the following evaluation video:

Since the date of the certain month of a certain year, Xunlei member users cannot download full speed. So during the test, I used the iPad to download the game to grab the speed of the online video playback device. The results we all saw. Or I misunderstood the role of the M1 smart Qos function. The description was not clearly written anyway, nor was it detailed on the official website. I also measured it. Welcome to God's message to enlighten me.

In fact, router-side traffic control functions are common to routers, but they are not stupid and intelligent. I used to use related functions before, so I know that it is not reliable. The route M1 measured this result and it just didn't surprise me.

There are many contents available for the user to configure. And in the setting content, I seem to discover the reason why the route M1 signal covers a wide range of coverage - router WiFi power has a total of three modes: sleep, normal and enhanced. The default factory setting of M1 is the most powerful "enhanced" mode.

Fourth, friction routing M1 cooling capacity assessment:

The heat dissipation of electronic products is related to the stability and life of electronic products. Now to test the cooling capacity of M1 routing routing it!

When M1 is not turned on, the measured temperature of the machine is 23.2 degrees Celsius, and the temperature error range is plus or minus 1 degree Celsius.

3 minutes after the normal operation of the boot, test again, the machine temperature is 34 degrees Celsius, the temperature error range is plus or minus 1 degree Celsius.

After downloading a large amount of uploaded data and watching online video for a while, the measured temperature was 47.7 degrees Celsius, and the temperature error range was plus or minus 1 degree Celsius.

At this point the router's power adapter temperature is not low. After all, 12W power!

In contrast, I used another router to download a large amount of data and measure the temperature after watching the video similar to the time online. The result is as follows:

The reference router's machine temperature is 35.1 degrees Celsius, much lower than the M1's operating temperature.

However, this does not mean that the cooling capacity of M1 is not good. First, the power consumption of the reference router itself is relatively low. The power input specification is 220V 0.2A, and the power input specification of the M1 is 220V 0.5A. Secondly, the power of the reference router wifi is also low. I have been set to "low" power, and the signal coverage is only about 4 meters in radius, which is much smaller than the signal coverage radius of the M1 that is 18 meters. Lower power can naturally achieve lower fever.

Stronger signals will inevitably require higher wireless power. Higher power will inevitably lead to more energy and heat. Low-carbon environmental protection has to wait for technical progress!

V. Summary and summary of M1's route M1 advantages and disadvantages

Having measured so much in one breath, it's time to sum up.

The M1 route has the following advantages:

1, good workmanship, wireless signal stability.

2, the signal coverage is wide, high bandwidth.

3, the parental control function facilitates the parental control of the children's Internet access.

There are also some areas for improvement:

1. Smart QoS traffic distribution failed to function as expected.

2, high power brings higher heat.

3, white appearance is easy to dirty.

4, does not support IEEE802.11AC and 5G band.

The speed of M1's route to 800Mbps in a single 2.4G band is really a lot of work. 4 antennas plus 4 independent power amplifier modules also improve wireless signal performance. Unfortunately, the performance of the router software is not as eye-catching as its hardware performance, the features of the software are relatively weak, and can not afford to toss. It is also a big pity that the Motorola M1 fails to support IEEE802.11AC.

This evaluation comes to an end and thank you for watching! Thanks again for what it is worth to buy the site for my trust and support!
