Skyworth Smart Routing R3 is stable and unobtrusive

Self-polar routing starts a new era of intelligent routing. For a time, new products in the smart routing market continue to emerge. As a hub-type product for smart homes, various manufacturers have poured their own smart routing products into their own vision for the great vision of smart homes. As a leading company in the field of smart television, Skyworth is now taking the smart routing field and the implications it contains are worthy of consideration.

The Skyworth Smart Routing R3 launched this time does not expose Tencent's presence too much in terms of naming. However, the brand logo of “Penguin Routing” on the side of the box can still show that this product bears the common expectations of Skyworth and Tencent.

Skyworth, as a traditional TV giant, has become one of the most "Internet" spirit hardware manufacturers in the current market. By cooperating with various heroes, we have introduced many classic products with outstanding reputation. The first time Skyworth involved in the field of intelligent routing. It also took out the momentum when he switched to a smart TV box, aiming at the mid-to-high-end boutique market, and only then achieved the Skyworth Smart Routing R3 we see today.

Excellent hardware design and product technology have always been the advantages of Skyworth brand. This was also demonstrated on R3.

Simple and elegant design, with a long strip of breathing light. This makes the entire product very atmospheric, compared to the design of many companies to design or "not designed as the best design." Skyworth has always been right in its grasp of design sense.

Skyworth Smart Routing R3 has three enhanced antennas and supports both 2.4G and 5G dual-band WIFI. In the short trial process, its signal strength left a deep impression. The author's office has a total area of ​​more than 300 square meters and is more partitioned. But in the case of 2.4G, the signal can basically stay full at all corners of the office. Since the 5G signal has a shorter wavelength and a smaller coverage area, the main office area can be covered with a full cell signal.

In the details of the product, Skyworth's handling is very good. Whether it is the corner of the product or the bottom of the anti-slip mat, can show the delicate process.

Because it is a large apartment route, multiple LAN interfaces are naturally essential.

In addition, the USB interface here can be used to expand storage space. As a smart route, various route plug-ins and remote video buffers are naturally indispensable, as long as the U disk is plugged in, the above functions can be easily implemented. Here I also tried to connect my mobile hard disk to the router. We found that the router can be successfully identified by the Foundry-Virgin router manager APP. However, the router has certain requirements on the format of the hard disk. The conventional hard disk format can recognize but cannot read the file properly. .

As a smart router, in addition to the hardware part, the most important thing is the built-in software system and the matching mobile phone APP.

In a few simple steps, after completing the initial setup of the router with a mobile phone, we can download the corresponding mobile phone app by scanning the QR code on the router side.

The first impression made by the Skyworth Routing Manager as the mobile phone app of Skyworth Smart Routing R3 is not mature enough. Compared to the excellent hardware, Skyworth's UI design and function points are a bit rough. If you compare it with the millet route APP and polar route APP that have been on the market for a long time, this gap is even more obvious. But fortunately, various basic product points have been covered, and there are no obvious missing features.

As a first generation product, Skyworth Smart Routing R3 has only four plug-ins. In addition to the default installed Family Cloud Center, the only three plug-ins in the plug-in store are Jingdong Microlink, Penguin Routing Plug-in, and Samba.

After a period of use, the most useful and useful of the three plug-ins is the Penguin Routing Plug-in. After the Penguin routing plug-in is installed, the router can communicate with Tencent video. In the use of methods and product logic is exactly the same with Youku routing treasure. The router will help users to accumulate Tencent video credits. Points can be used to redeem various benefits including Tencent video members.

As a Skyworth product, it is one of its most significant styles. Compared with Xiaomi's routing plug-in, Skyworth Route R3 is stable and simple. As one of the long-time users of Xiaomi's routing, in order to play more tricks, the price paid is a variety of system bugs and instability. This kind of relationship is a little bit like the difference between I0S and Android, and the more functional and extensible features bring about less stability.

After a period of use, the performance of Skyworth's smart routing R3 can satisfy people, and it has not encountered the problem of failure of function points. If Skyworth routing can develop more fun on a stable basis, The gameplay, I believe, can also get a large number of geek players in a short period of time.
