Dandelion vPN, the world's edge - dandelion x3 remote intelligent network router trial evaluation

â–² Trial dandelion X3 router received is two, (the two are the minimum number of the main features of the experience product), the product uses black corrugated cardboard box, very simple, the front is the product's logo, the side has a variety of dandelion X3 router The basic information (product name, model number, power supply specification, management address, and default password, etc.), especially the MAC address and SN code of the product, are important and must be protected.

â–² The design of the product itself at first glance does not seem to have anything special. The design is quite satisfactory and the edges and corners are also quite clear. However, with such a long time, the product is still very good-looking. Perhaps this is the benefit of the classic design.

â–² The overall control of the product is not bad. The router is surrounded by black metal panels. The front is the LOGO of the dandelion router. The logo is slightly concave and has a glossy finish. It looks very delicate. In addition to the high price of metal panels, in the actual use of the process will be more durable. Another advantage of metals is that for better heat dissipation, the heat generated by the internal motherboard and the processor can be conducted well through the metal casing to prevent the machine from overheating. Metal panels are fine, but the resistance to scratches and sweat is relatively poor. The good news is that routers do not need to move often.

â–² The center of the back of the router is still the light blue product nameplate. It is marked with the basic information of the product like the outer box. There are three hexagonal screws at the bottom to fix the outer cover of the router. In addition, the bottom of the product can see the position of the four nuts fixing the internal main board of the machine. The positions are not symmetrical. When the four internal rubber feet attached are attached, they can be covered, but there is no foot. So symmetrical and beautiful.

▲ The dandelion x3 router uses two bidirectional non-removable omni-directional antennas. The gain of the antenna is 5dBi. The antenna cannot rotate 360 ​​degrees. Do not try too much for the antenna with excessively high degree of difficulty. Damping of the antenna. Feeling better, but there is a certain gap, and there is no appearance to such exquisite.

▲ Be sure to remember to stick the foot stickers in time. After receiving the product, he hurries to shoot the footage, so he doesn’t have to put the foot on the router to shoot the film. The result is that the back cover still gives some small scratches. Remember to remember! There is a glassy strip on the front of the router, which is very simple and stylish!

The right and left of the router are the power socket, a black USB 2.0 interface, a blue one hundred mega WAN port, four yellow 100 Mbps LAN ports, and a reset. button. In the USB 3.0 interface has been very common, USB3.0 support for a variety of hard drives, U disk devices in the sky, still using USB 2.0 interface is so not very appropriate and appropriate, in the transmission speed is relatively speaking Will be slow on many!

â–² The hardware configuration of the router is CPU: MTK7628A, RAM: 128MB, Flash: 16MB. This configuration is also a common configuration for some smart routers. For example, the polar route 1s. The same hardware configuration also brings more possibilities for later software play. If you are interested in a small partner, you can go to the forum to do more research.
