In fact, in terms of friends who often use routers, it is often better to pursue the performance of wall-penetration than to use a router. At the same time, if the home is not large enough for a friend, a small-sized router will also solve the problem of occupying too much space. However, the micro routers also come with a big problem, that is, performance is not as good as high-end products, especially the strength of wireless signals.
So this time we have brought two small routers that are more popular recently, namely 360 security router mini and millet router youth version. These two products are also based on miniaturization as the main selling point, but whether it is really useful or worthy of the two products "repeated."
Product introduction: Millet Router Youth Edition VS 360 Security Router mini
Although 360 and Xiaomi are not routers, 360 focuses on network security software, and Xiaomi is a smart phone. However, after the cooperation and integration of 360 with Netcore, it also allowed its router product line to have a stronger technical foundation. The millet router series is also a new product line of millet in the past two years, and the next product is also relying on Xiaomi's super popular fire.
In fact, the appearance of the two styles are still very different, 360 security routing mini there is still a shadow of some traditional network equipment, and millet router Youth Edition is to take a minimalist style. In fact, from the design style, the two are different, and ultimately depends on the user's preferences.
360 security route mini still walks the style of the network equipment of the router, so still design a group of state display lamps on the A surface, use for demonstrating different working states. Basically, if you have a problem with the network, this design will obviously help the user to determine which aspects of the network have problems.
Although the volume is basically a victory, the minimalist style of the youth version of the Xiaomi router is also mixed. Due to the limitation of miniaturization volume, basically the youth version of the millet router has only one status indicator light. The design of this single-state display lamp looks good, but the network problems do not appear so intuitive.
Interface comparison: Small routers have been deleted
Here we talk about the interface part of the two routers, due to the small size of the router, so the interface will naturally be cut. However, millet router youth version and 360 security routing mini these two products, although similar but still have a slight gap.
It is worth mentioning that the power interface of the 360 ​​security router mini is still using the circular power hole of traditional routers. And the network interface is still three RJ-45 interfaces, a WAN port and two LAN ports, respectively responsible for LAN and WAN connectivity. The RESET button is also designed next to the network interface, but it still requires the use of a paper clip.
The Xiaomi router youth version of the power interface is Micro-USB, which is exactly the same as mobile phones and other products, the network interface is still a WAN / two LAN interface design. However, there is no RESET button on the body, so if the router generates a problem that needs to be reset, it is more troublesome.
Although the rotary shaft antenna design is adopted, the antenna of the 360 ​​security route mini is obviously thicker. In the following signal experiments, it can also be clearly found that the signal strength of the 360 ​​security route mini is significantly better.
The wireless antenna of the millet router's youth version is also a hinge design, but its volume and other aspects are still limited. However, it is worthy of recognition that the youthful version of Xiaomi's router is really pretty.
Volume comparison: thickness measurement
In the measurement of thickness, we selected the thinnest and thickest parts of the two products to measure separately, and measured the specific data as a comparison basis. As for the measurement tool, it is the vernier caliper we often see.
Thinnest thickness comparison:
Due to the 360 ​​security router design style, the thickness at the thinnest point is 2.75mm, which is indeed quite thin data.
Because millet routers are relatively compact internally, they need better space utilization effects, so the thickness at the thinnest point has reached 7.84mm. Indeed in the thinnest design, Xiaomi router youth version is much thicker than the 360 ​​security routing mini.
Thickness at the thickest point:
Due to the relatively large shaft design of the 360 ​​security route mini, the thickness at the thickest point has reached 23.98mm, which is indeed at a disadvantage.
The thickness of the millet router's thickest version reached 17.30mm, which is indeed a lot thinner than the 360 ​​security router mini. In terms of interface thickness, the Xiaomi router youth version does have a larger volume advantage than the 360 ​​security route mini.
Therefore, it can be concluded that in terms of volume, the 360 ​​security route mini thickness data in addition to the thinnest at the thinnest point is better than the millet route Youth Edition, and other aspects are the advantage of Xiaomi routing Youth Edition occupy the volume. Therefore, Xiaomi's Youth Edition is more compact than the 360 ​​security route mini. This point is beyond doubt.
Functional comparison: both styles
In terms of function settings and interface UI, 360 security router mini and millet router youth version completely follow two different styles. The 360 ​​security route mini page setting UI should be more biased towards the style of windows8, represented by large color blocks, and the millet router youth page UI is classified by different functions.
Webpage settings UI comparison:
360 security route mini Web page settings UI screenshots to be more convenient, after all, a simple design UI looks more beautiful. The millet routing page of the Youth Edition UI is more detailed, but the only problem is that the screenshots are too cumbersome. And when users use it, they can't solve the problem on their own.
Functional comparison:
There are many special features of the 360 ​​security route mini, including child mode, visitor WIFI, WIFI signal strength adjustment, and light switch setting. A total of 8 unique features are available for users to use. In fact, the visitor WIFI mode is very practical, which eliminates the trouble of guests in the home asking for a passcode.
The functional interface of Xiaomi’s Youth Edition is mainly to provide functions such as flood prevention network, health mode, and smart speed limit, but these functions all require the mobile phone APP to open. Setting the webpage still can only set VPN and other functions, relatively speaking, it is slightly less.
Network signal evaluation: 360 security routing mini better
In terms of network signals, we used the same distance for signal testing, which is about 15 meters away from the router, and there are no signal barriers such as walls.
In terms of long-range signals, the 360-safety mini-signal has a signal strength of 52%, but the speed has reached 121 Mbits.
In the same location, the signal strength of Xiaomi's Youth Edition is 47%, but its speed is only 65Mbits. Therefore, in terms of signal strength and speed, the 360 ​​security route mini is significantly better.
Evaluation summary:
In fact, after the router is made small, it will naturally cause the attenuation of wireless signals, but its volume has become a very good selling point. If you need a compact and smart new router, then the 360 ​​security route mini and millet youth may be the only option you can buy recently. Of course, if you like the ultra-small size of the product, then Xiaomi routing youth version is more suitable for you. However, if you choose a reliable product, then the 360 ​​security route mini is obviously a good choice.
So this time we have brought two small routers that are more popular recently, namely 360 security router mini and millet router youth version. These two products are also based on miniaturization as the main selling point, but whether it is really useful or worthy of the two products "repeated."
