Dandelion X4C experience: a router that can plug in a 4G card can "surf the Internet freely"

The importance of the network in modern life is self-evident, especially in the era when everything can be intelligent, small to the socket, large to the air conditioner can be networked, if there is no network, then the word intelligent can not be established, at the same time, with the introduction of more and more light, thin electronic equipment, portability has also been unprecedentedly improved, take the author, every time you go out tablets, e-books, laptops are indispensable, in this case, the demand for mobile networks is more obvious, Coupled with the reason for renting, every time you move to pay hundreds of yuan of broadband installation fees, it is also a big expense over the years, so in order to save money and meet the needs of mobile office, recently bought a dandelion X4C router.

The biggest highlight of this product is the support for 4G networking mode and intelligent networking function. The former not only supports the Internet of Things card but also supports the ordinary 4G phone card, the latter can realize the public network IP and complex operations to quickly form a remote virtual local area network, simply put, this function can realize the data interconnection of computers, mobile phones, servers and other information in the local area network, which is very practical!

Let's take a look at its specific performance!

First, simply unbox

Packing list: Dandelion X4C router body, power adapter, IoT traffic card, instruction manual and three-pack voucher:

According to the instructions in the instructions of the Mini Program after activation can experience the Internet of Things card, the gift of the Internet of Things card contains 5G traffic, since the activation of 30 days after zero, 30 days later if you continue to use it is more recommended to buy the annual package, 599 yuan of annual tariff, you can get 3000G traffic per month, it can be said that it is very cost-effective. Of course, it depends on the speed of the Internet, which will be mentioned below.

The Dandelion X4C features an external antenna design with four antennas that can be freely adjusted.

The shell is made of plastic and is lightweight to hold on the hand.

The corners are rounded, and the middle is the dandelion LOGO. Below is the router operating indicator, from left to right are the system indicator, networking indicator, WiFi signal indicator and 4G network indicator, the light is always on to represent normal operation.

In terms of interface, it provides a power interface, a Nano-SIM card slot, 2 LAN interfaces, a WAN interface and a reset button, which are rich in interfaces to meet daily use.

As for the bottom, they are all strip shaped heat dissipation holes, and the two sides of the arc are also distributed with strip shape heat dissipation holes, and the maximum heat dissipation area can improve the overall heat dissipation performance.

Second, the function experience

The Dandelion X4C router provides three ways to network, in addition to ordinary wired access, but also support wireless trunking and 4G card to WiFi, wherein, wireless relay function

Can expand the coverage, especially suitable for large or duplex family use, the implementation principle is to connect multiple routers, set up a main router, and then place the sub-router in each corner to achieve a larger range of signal coverage.

As for 4G to WiFi, it is well understood, it can achieve the purpose of networking by inserting a 4G card or IoT card without a broadband connection, which is a bit similar to the hotspot of a mobile phone. Speaking of this, some netizens will say, since it is similar to mobile phone hotspots, why not directly use mobile phone hotspots to network? What needs to be explained here is that if your need is multi-device networking, then mobile phone hotspots are difficult to meet the rate requirements, and at the same time, the performance through the wall is not as good as the router.

After inserting the 4G card or The Internet of Things card, after connecting to the router power supply, find the router WiFi on the computer and mobile device and click Connect, and then enter the background management address of the router 10.168.1.1 in the address box, and then make the corresponding settings (name, password, etc.), and you can use it normally after restarting.

The following figure shows the speed performance of the Dandelion X4C router 4G to WiFi:

The test data shows that the download speed is 23.29MB/s and the upload speed is 23.56MB/s, which is no problem for coping with daily office, drama and other needs.

In terms of intelligent networking, the difficulty of getting started is not high, click "intelligent networking" of the router management interface - "I want to network".

Then follow the prompts to register or log in, and finally click "I want to network" to enter the dandelion network management platform, where we can set the "network name, network type", etc. according to personal preferences, and then click "Create" to complete the networking.

After entering the created networking page, we can also add members, it should be noted that the member types are divided into hardware and software members, the former corresponds to the router, the latter corresponds to the client.

Once you've done that, you can remotely access your home NAS anytime, anywhere, and of course, you can also place the Dandelion X4C in your company, making it easier to telecommute.

It is worth mentioning that the dandelion X4C router also supports remote boot function, but the premise requires the computer to open the "wake on LAN" function, because the corresponding "wake on LAN" of different computer models is different, here is not explained one by one, you can query online.

Write at the end

As a brand of Berui, dandelion router not only inherits the technical advantages of Berui, the cost performance is also very high, the price of less than two hundred also makes it stand out in a group of hundreds of routers, becoming another dark horse in the industry, in general, this product is particularly suitable for rented houses or remote workers, but for people who often work mobile, if the dandelion X4C router has a built-in battery module, it is believed that it will be more popular to achieve independent power supply, right?
