【Written on the front】
Twenty years ago, I was most afraid of power outages at home, and weekends without TV were boring. And now, I am most afraid that there is no internet at home, I can't play online games, and I can't brush videos, which is very maddening. Just joined the work at that time, smart phones just emerged, the traffic cost is outrageous, many people only do 5 yuan 30M package, occasionally chat on QQ, watch the news also have to close the picture, watch the video is more impossible. Generally, you only dare to connect to the WiFi network at home to watch, or download a good video at home and watch it offline. At that time, the office did not have a wireless network, and the Internet access was mainly on the desktop. Later, I inadvertently found that there is a thing called portable WiFi, which can turn the wired network of the desktop into a wireless network, and the price is not expensive, and from then on, you can finally surf the mobile phone in the office, which is really called a fragrance.
Before the advent of portable WiFi, everyone generally used a USB wireless network card, which can allow desktops without wireless network cards to use the wireless network. Portable WiFi is the opposite, converting the wired network into a wireless network, so that mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices around them can access the Internet without connecting to the network cable. Of course, this is mainly aimed at environments without wireless networks.
Recently, Dandelion launched a 4G portable WiFi: X4U, the official price of 99 yuan, the current hand is about 89 yuan. Compared to traditional portable WiFi, it can access the Internet without broadband, a router, and a computer. A bit similar to the former USB 4G wireless network card, but not the same, 4G wireless network card can only let the plugged in devices access the Internet, and 4G portable WiFi can let more devices around the Internet, more powerful, as long as there is electricity, there is a USB interface can create a wireless network anytime and anywhere, the following with you to simply share this product.
【Packaging Accessories】
There is a transparent window on the front of the product packaging, you can directly see the appearance of dandelion X4U 4G portable WiFi, the packaging is marked with 4 major features of the product: 8 terminal access (if you count directly plugged into the laptop, it is 9), USB power supply, built-in dandelion flow card, 150Mbps.
On the back of the package, the 4 characteristics of X4U 4G Portable WiFi are introduced, and the product use environment is introduced: suitable for office, car, travel, etc.
The product has no accessories, only a color printed product manual, the manual of X4U 4G Portable WiFi parameters, diagrams, interfaces, connection WiFi, web page management, device networking, external SIM and precautions are introduced in detail.
【Appearance details】
The dandelion X4U 4G portable WiFi looks like a large USB stick, with the dandelion brand LOGO in the middle of the front and the indicator light on the right.
The back is printed with the product model, MAC address, ICCID, IMEI, login URL, initial password, and WiFi name and password information, and the QR code in the lower right corner is used to activate the device.
Dandelion X4U 4G Portable WiFi has a built-in dandelion data card, but also comes with an external SIM card slot, which can use a flow card or a mobile phone secondary card.
The Dandelion X4U 4G Portable WiFi weighs about 28 grams, and the portion is still quite light, similar to the weight of a lighter.
In terms of size, the Dandelion X4U 4G Portable WiFi is about 95mm long, which is similar to the size of a lighter.
The size and weight of the dandelion X4U 4G portable WiFi is still quite suitable for carrying out, and can be tucked into computer bags, briefcases, and even handbags and clip bags.
【Connection method】
"Where there is electricity, there is WiFi", this is an AD of Dandelion X4U 4G Portable WiFi. To be precise, as long as there is electricity and a USB interface, you can form a wireless network and plug and play. There are still a lot of devices with USB interfaces in life, and the more common one is the docking station on the desktop.
The indicator light blue is solid, indicating that the network connection is successful; the light yellow is solid, indicating that the current SIM card is not stationed on the network or has expired at your own expense; and the red is solid, indicating that the device is abnormal, and you can try to reseat the device.
Dandelion X4U 4G portable WiFi can also be plugged into the laptop, some people say why not use the current popular USB-C interface, I would like to say that at present, the USB-A interface is easier to find than the USB-C interface. Of course, if the manufacturer can be equipped with an A-C adapter, it will be better, so that the product adaptability will be stronger.
If you have a mobile phone charger on hand, you can use it together, directly plug it into the socket or plug-in board. If you don't have broadband at home, and your laptop or tablet wants to access the Internet at the same time, this little thing can be solved, which is very suitable for groups living in dormitories or renting houses.
In addition to plugging into fixed devices and sockets, it can also be plugged into a power bank. This is interesting, personally think this is called real mobile WiFi, where to go, where the WiFi network moves.
When it comes to where to go and where to move, there is also a place to use. That is, in the car, the dandelion X4U 4G portable WiFi is inserted into the USB interface of the central control and other locations, and mobile WiFi can also be formed, so that all people in the car can use the 4G WiFi network, which is much more convenient and easy to use than the mobile phone to share the hotspot.
【Actual Experience】
After the dandelion X4U 4G portable WiFi is plugged into the power supply, after turning on the mobile phone WLAN, find the PGY_01C4E and enter the default password. After clicking, you can see that the Dandelion X4U 4G Portable WiFi connection speed is 150Mbps, 2.4GHz, WPA2-Personal encryption. The far right is the 2.4GHz signal of my home netgear XR500 router, the connection speed is slightly higher, alas, the flagship router of 2499 yuan in the year, now as long as 519 yuan, digital products are really "buy early to enjoy, late to buy to enjoy the discount."
Open the browser on the phone, enter 10.168.1.1 in the address bar, enter the initial password and account number, and log on to the X4U management page. You can set a login password, a WiFi password, you can manage traffic, or you can choose a built-in dandelion traffic card or an external SIM card.
Scan the code to enter the dandelion public account, and then scan the dandelion X4U 4G portable WiFi back of the ICCID, you can activate the account. Activate to send a 3-day aging 10GB data experience package. If you think it works, and then open a traffic package, it is clear that the 599 yuan package is the most cost-effective. Counting down more than 40 a month, you can enjoy 3000GB per month, 1G is equivalent to a penny, the same is the Huawei Skyline Card that cooperates with Unicom, the annual fee is the same, and the monthly traffic is less than 1000GB.
Using petal speed measurement, I tested the speed of the Dandelion X4U 4G Portable WiFi. The downlink speed is about 43Mbps, the upward speed is about 28Mbps, of course, this thing is not necessarily accurate, can only be a reference, this and your region, the environment has a certain relationship. Compare the speed of Unicom Broadband at home, mobile phone China Mobile 4G, Dandelion X4U 4G Portable WiFi network speed is between the two. Using the video speed measurement included in the software toolbox, the network supports 4K HD.
This year just did iQIYI members, just try frame Qiying painting 4K Dolby picture quality, frame Qiying painting is 4K + HDR + high frame rate + panoramic sound of four-dimensional fusion, after actual measurement, dandelion X4U 4G portable WiFi is competent, smooth playback, pull progress bar, fast forward or backward buffer time is still very short.
Then open the Douyu live broadcast, look at the small tuantuan, the picture quality is set to the original painting 1080P60, the picture is clear and not caton, but this traffic consumption is really painful. Personally, I think that using a mobile phone to watch live broadcasts, HIGH-definition on the line, the picture after beautification, there is no need to see sweat pores.
Game testing, Marvel Showdown, a competitive card game, as a zero Kryptonian, really difficult to play, super six has become the norm. After actual measurement, the game delay fluctuates around 110ms, and the game can run smoothly. The card game itself does not have too high latency requirements, as long as it is stable and does not drop the line.
Test the FPS shooter "T3", a bit similar to the PC of "Overwatch", the mode is a bit like "Red Dead Redemption", this game does not need to click the shooting button, encounter opponents will automatically shoot, you just need to aim on the line, the operation is still quite simple (I think this is designed for elementary school students). After actual measurement, the delay hovers around 120ms, and the game operation is quite smooth. Of course, compared with the WiFi at home, the latency is still slightly higher, which also has a lot to do with the local operator network signal.
