This year is the year of popularity of WiFi7 routers, and there are always fans who ask me to recommend low-cost WiFi7 routers. To be honest, there was really no WiFi7 router worthy of the word "cost performance" a few years ago, but just a few months later, with the collective price reduction of WiFi7 routers, more than 200 yuan can also buy big brands of WiFi7 routers, and it also supports Mesh expansion function. I counted three good models based on the price information of "what is worth buying" on the shopping guide website.
The first is Xiaomi BE3600, the first release date is January 30, the first price is 249 yuan, and now the lowest is only 198 yuan. It supports the latest WiFi7 transmission protocol, with a maximum theoretical rate of 3.57Gbps, and adds Multi-RU high-level allocation technology on top of OFDMA technology, which can allocate bandwidth resources in real time according to the network speed of the device.
In terms of configuration, it uses a Qualcomm quad-core 1.1GHz processor, equipped with 1 2.5G network port and 3 Gigabit network ports, with 5G frequency band 2×2 160MHz, which is 44% higher than WiFi6 throughput, and supports up to 128 devices to connect at the same time. However, I heard that Xiaomi BE3600 launched a new version later, castrating the 2.5G network port, which needs to be verified by the user.
The second is ZTE SurveyBE5100Gigabit router, on April 22 this yearWiFi7 router, the initial price is 289 yuan, and now the lowest is only 222.56 yuan. It uses ZTE's self-developed ten-core main control chip, plus 6nmwifi7 dual-band wireless baseband, external six-antenna design, and a maximum concurrency rate of 5012Mbps.
To tell the truth, ZTE SurveyBE5100Gigabit router is more cost-effective than XiaomiBE3600, because the signal strength is better, but the price difference is only more than 20 yuan acceptable, which is very suitable for full coverage of room types within 140 square meters.
The third is HuaweiBE3 Pro routing,This release date is early,It was released on September 25 last year,The price was 399 yuan at the time,Now the lowest is only 279 yuan。 It adopts the same family-style design, which is exactly the same as the Huawei AX3 Pro I bought in the early years, with a flat external quad-antenna design.
In terms of performance, it is equipped with a 2.5G WAN/LAN adaptive network port, and it is also equipped with Game Turbo technology, which supports 160+ mobile games and terminal game acceleration, which is suitable for users who like to play e-sports. In addition, it uses 4096 QAM high-order modulation, which increases the transmission rate by 120% compared with Wi-Fi 6.
