Nowadays, WIFI has become an essential element in our daily life. No matter where you go, you will subconsciously use your mobile phone to search for wireless signals. Users who are more dependent on WIFI say frankly that there is no place for WIFI to feel breathless. In fact, now whether it is a business or a public area, it will provide WIFI signals. However, as everyone knows, the coverage of WIFI is always relatively limited, and the complex housing structure is also a direct killer of WIFI, and sometimes you are separated. A wall, but because of the WIFI signal problem so that you are so far away from the world, so a variety of enhanced programs have emerged, such as multiple routers, this benefit is that the signal will be good, but the obvious weaknesses, signal Interference between each other will greatly compromise the quality of the Internet. In contrast, bridging solutions appear to be more effective. The first is that the signal is clearly enhanced after bridging, and the second is that a single signal fusion does not make you have to go anywhere. Which WIFI is bothering, then the question is, will you choose traditional router bridging or a more simple solution for bridges? It?
The answer is very obvious, TOTO LINK EX100 repeater is the author's choice, compared with the traditional program, although the bridge between the two routers can achieve the same effect, but first of all reflected in the price, the router with the relay The price of the device is not simple, of course, the latter is more cost-effective, after all, what we have to do is simply a signal amplification on the line, followed by home electronics equipment is now more, the location of the two routers is not beautiful, TOTO The LINK EX100 repeater is actually the size of a U disk. This contrast is obviously better for the latter.
However, such a small thing, really fly it?
In addition to the repeater itself, the TOTO LINK EX100 repeater comes standard with a 4dbi antenna. What is this concept? Most of the antennas on traditional routers are also 4-6 dBi, which is consistent with the definition of a repeater. The antenna can rotate 90 degrees, and can rotate 360 ​​degrees in the same plane without dead ends. This way, the user can adjust it according to his own needs without intertwining its shape.
In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the signal, the TOTO LINK EX100 repeater's interface uses a gold-plated design, and the use of plastic protection in key parts, this consideration is still more careful.
In addition, TOTO LINK EX100 repeater also designed a small details of the buckle, the volume itself is small, it can be easily carried to the user with the portable, but also on the key chain, the portability is self-evident.
With the prevalence of simple package style, TOTO LINK EX100 repeater packaging uses a simple style, this is not a simple configuration, spend less to think about packaging, the product is the right way, through the just described, presumably You already have a base on whether it is kind or not. You can use the tutorial to scan through the APP. It is very convenient. In addition, although it is a repeater, the function is not simple. The one-button WPS/RST button is also designed. back.
In fact, the author is also plagued for a long time, because the house has a lot of load walls, so the problem of incomplete coverage of the WIFI signal, especially in the blind spot area, a little before holding PHS head and chest is the feeling of not working, To do this, first use the signal overlay before using the repeater.
The main route is Netgear R6400. Point E is the installation position of the original router. Point F is the wireless relay position of TOTO LINK. Because the two points of CD are blind spots, normal coverage will not work, and it will even be disconnected directly.
The first problem after connection is to set up, compared to the traditional router bridging, the simple design of the TOTO LINK EX100 repeater is also very simple to set the above design, before and after three steps: connect WIFI, find the bridge router, enter the password Completed, but here, the author has a small suggestion, the password is currently hidden in the dialog box for entering the password, whether later will consider the password to hide, so feel more secure.
There is no configured TOTO LINK EX100 repeater indicator is red, after configuration, such as relay and host routing communication can be completed directly on the Internet, and at this time the indicator light turns green, do not know that we found no , This small relay has a very obvious advantage, that is, as long as there is USB power can be bridged, which greatly facilitates the user's use of the site, even if it is a business trip, the meeting needs real-time signal amplification, use it.
We use the signal to speak. At point B, which is the location of the main route broadcast, the signal from the TOTO LINK EX100 repeater is about 42dBm. Of course, this is the signal after passing the wall, and we come to A. At the point where the signal is 50dBm and the room where the repeater is placed is 30dBm, we turn to look at the NETGEAR router and TOTO LINK repeater behind the same wall. Obviously, the effect of TOTO LINK is better through the wall. The original blind spots C, D, it is obvious that in the signal coverage, the blind spots have disappeared, and another look at the performance of NETGEAR. The intensity of about 70dBm is also the range that the writer said is almost impossible to connect. After passing through the relay, the blue TOTO LINK curve, this expansion effect makes the blind spot disappear. This is the true full-scale dead-end coverage. .
In summary, from the above evaluation, we can easily see that the performance of the TOTO LINK EX100 repeater is still quite good. First of all, compared with the traditional way of bridging the router, it is only U disk size, which is very convenient to carry. , do not have to think for a place to put. Second, in terms of price, its price also has advantages over traditional routers. Third, of course, is to expand the effect, from the above test results, this result can make the author satisfied, it is worth recommending.
