Happiness came suddenly. Just a few days ago I also thought about changing my home router. I saw Zhang Aunt’s activity of having a free lead router. I bought Feixun K2 in Jingdong, and I bought it back home. After a few days of drying up, Aunt Zhang sent a text message to me saying “You participated in the Tenda AC18 public beta application successfullyâ€. It was so happy.
With the advancement of the Internet, some older routers could not keep up, just like my home. I used TPlink before. It was too much for me to use it. I bought a millet for miwifi. I can't keep up with my telecommunications 100M fiber,

One: out of the box
I would also like to be very irresponsible in the Tucao once again, things directly on the guard there, but the community is not safe to lose, the package has not received damage.
On the front of the box, there is a rendering of AC18. On the right side is his promotion point. At the price of civilians, you can enjoy the villa-level router. The whole is black.

packing list
There is a simplest router setup method in the manual. It can be said to be fool teaching.
Instructions
The power adapter is a bit bigger and plugging into the socket affects other jacks, as well as a bit of weight.
Power Adapter
The cable is really suitable for AC18, from the inside of the power line and my home network cable can be seen compared to the quality is very good, crystal head has 8 lines, my family's only poor 4 lines.
Super five cable
The design of the AC18 was inspired by the appearance of the US B2 bomber. The appearance was cool and the corners were geometric. It was really a domineering exposure. Equipped with an A9 dual-core processor, built-in 256MB DDR3 memory, and 128MB of memory, there are multiple access devices will not affect the transmission of network data.
AC18
The size of the AC18 is 261mm long, 168mm wide, and 65mm high. Compared to my home's TPlink, Xiaomi and Feixun K2 are a bit larger.
AC18 is equipped with a usb3.0 interface, which can support extended functions such as external hard disk and printer, and can access audio files in the device through wireless, which is very convenient.
AC18usb interface and indicator
Behind the interface has a clear description, and will not be wrong, there is a switch button, can be closed when not in use, compared to most other routers have no switch button. In addition, the network cable interface is equipped with full Gigabit and can enjoy high-speed network.
Back interface and function buttons
AC18 antenna I can not open for a long time, can only be introduced, equipped with three omnidirectional coaxial double copper tube antenna, and the diameter of the copper tube is accurate to 0.01mm, can simultaneously make the network horizontally vertical coverage, outside by Irregular geometric diamond design. And the antenna can be rotated 180 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically.
antenna
The cooling holes are very much in the front, both sides and the bottom are cooling holes, and the cooling holes are well integrated with the camera. There is a wall-hanging design at the bottom, and generally it will not hang on the wall, because this will hinder the divergence of the signal.

Two: Connection
AC18 setting is very simple, you can use the network in 1 minute. It is not recommended to set the login password. For me this forgetful person, it is most easy to forget, but also a small note to remember the user name and password, There is also a login password, too much to be confused. 3 steps to complete the Internet.

After completing the Internet and more functions, you can configure the router according to your needs. AC18 has the function that the system can only detect, where the problem icon will become red, easy to check, prescribe the right medicine. The interface has 9 functional areas that are simple and easy to find.
The wireless settings can change the name, as well as the wifi timer switch to extend the useful life of the router also facilitates management of the router. However, when I use a computer to search for a wireless network, I have only 2.4G networks, and 5G networks do not exist.

The guest network is my favorite feature. It also facilitates the management of users. The router is safer to use and does not need to worry about network theft.
Guest network
For intelligent power saving and advanced functions, settings are made according to your own needs. You can turn off the LED lights at night to sleep, improve sleep intelligence, and enable wifi timer switch to extend the useful life of the router. And can use APP mobile phone management.

Advanced Features
In the mobile phone APP management, you can check the network usage and remotely control the router.
Three: Signal Testing
The signal test software used is Wireless, and the test scenario is that there is only 108 square meters in my home. It is compared with the Xiaomi router. Since the computer has not found a 5G signal, it can only be a 2.4G signal, and the router is in the living room A point. Location, there are three test points.
No. 1 position
No. 2 location
Position 3
In the No. 1 position, the signal strength of AC18 is 48%, the signal strength of No. 2 position is 40%, the position of No. 3 is 35%, and the millet is only 1%, so we can see that the gap between them is very large. AC18's window wall can also be very good, but not enough to affect the Internet.
Four: Summary
advantage
1, cool, WAN LAN Gigabit interface can support my home 100 fiber, thermal design is reasonable.
2, the user settings are simple, clear management interface.
3, The visitor is set up, it is convenient to manage the user to strengthen the safety of the router, and the intellectual power saving and wifi time switch can prolong the life of the router.
4, 2.4G signal, fast Internet access.
insufficient:
1, power adapter and host are too large.
The 2,5G signal cannot be searched.
Finally, it should be said that AC18's cost performance is very high, and most wireless routers at the same level are thousands of dollars, which is a good choice.
