Since Xiaomi released its first mobile phone in 2011, it is now one of the largest mobile phone brands, ranking fourth in the world in terms of share, and has recently been successful in its IPO, officially listed in Hong Kong on July 9, as a company established less than 10 years ago, the development can be described as rapid.
Compared with mobile phones,Xiaomi entered the wireless field later,2015The first wireless router was released,Like mobile phones、TV,Xiaomi router belongs to one of the three core product lines that Xiaomi is responsible for,Different from notebooks and other ecological chain enterprises。 In essence, ecological chain enterprises are only partners, not subsidiaries of Xiaomi, and Xiaomi routers, like mobile phones, belong to Xiaomi's own brand.
Xiaomi is currently relying on the three core businesses to expand deeply in the field of smart home, as one of the core, Xiaomi router has developed rapidly, in 2017 with a share of 11.9% ranked second in China, second only to TP-Link, far ahead of other intelligent routing manufacturers. However, Xiaomi has entered the wireless market for a short time, and there is still a gap between it and traditional manufacturers in terms of technology accumulation, and some users have also reported that problems such as disconnection will occur when the product runs for a long time.
As a new Internet manufacturer in the field of wireless networks,Xiaomi's full range of products are intelligent routing,From low to high, only Xiaomi router3C/3A/3、Xiaomi router4、Xiaomi router3G and Xiaomi routerHD/Pro,Except for Xiaomi routerHD/Pro,The rest are all entry-level products below 300 yuan。 Xiaomi router HD has the highest positioning, using Qualcomm chip solution, with its own hard disk, it can be used as a NAS, the price is 1299 yuan; Xiaomi router ProAlthough the appearance is very similar to HD,The wireless parameters are almost the same,But the positioning should be one level lower,The chip is replaced withMT7621,And you can't install a hard disk,It's just a pure router,The price is only about half of the Xiaomi routerHD。
Mi router3The whole series are 1200Mbps dual-band routing,All use MTK chip scheme,Positioning from low to high is divided into3C/3A/3/3G,In addition to 3G is a full gigabit port,The other three are 100 Gigabit wired ports,In addition,Mainly in memory configuration and specific chips,In the current situation,100 Gigabit network port routing is slowly marginalized,Therefore, it is more recommended to configure the highest Xiaomi router3G。
It is worth noting that,Unlike other brands,The larger the number, the more high-end,Xiaomi router4The actual positioning is lower than that of Xiaomi router3G,The main thing is that there is one less USB 3.0interface,The memory is only128MB,It is half of the Xiaomi router3G,The rest of the configuration is almost the same。 In terms of price, Xiaomi Router 4 is about 50 yuan lower, and it can still be purchased for users who pursue cost performance.
If you have a high demand for remote downloading, you can also choose Xiaomi Router HD. As an important part of the Xiaomi ecosystem, the biggest feature of the Xiaomi Router HD is that it comes with a hard disk, which can be regarded as a simple version of NAS, which is more cost-effective. Compared with USB storage device sharing, the advantages of large hard disks are obvious, through remote downloading, with richer sharing content, easy to create a multimedia home, but there are fewer plug-ins available, and the hard disk replacement is not very convenient.
