Foreword

In the winter of 2008, I was a sophomore at the time. In order to allow the brothers in the dorms to realize the dream of building a dorm in five quarters, I had been rushing to the computer city bus with my third child in the early morning. At that time I was still so green, I do not know what the router is Dongdong. Can not stand the boss repeatedly flickered, I bought a Tenda's eight routers at the price of 75 yuan (the cheapest kind of similar products). The next day, I went back to the computer city in the same way. I told the boss my heart that the router was faulty. I thought I still had to struggle with the boss and fight it off. I didn't expect the boss to casually say that China Unicom's ADSL dial-up may require firmware upgrades (the new firmware has not yet been implemented). It is not enough for you to add money for this. Saying hand me a blue box with PuLian Technology...

This is my first intimate contact with Tenda for the first time. In the next few years, I always felt that Tengda's products had been tepid and had not been able to surpass his counterparts too much (the appearance of the mold lacked innovation, the product quality was slightly less stable, and the product line was biased towards the low end). Tengda started to make it in the previous two years. Forces and designs have advanced a lot more than ever before (all kinds of odd types have come out one after another). Most of the boxes on the box are marked with the same core of Apple products (in fact, the Broadcom program is used). Recently I was greeted by Auntie and received the Tenda's highest-end civilian router solution, the Tenda AC18 1900M Enhanced 11ac Dual Band Gigabit Router. Let's take a look and see what surprises are waiting for me this time.

Tenda AC18 flagship fever class 1900M 11AC Gigabit wireless enhanced router... Learn from the shape of the US B2 stealth bomber, using a three-antenna cool black shape. Equipped with Broadcom dual-core high-speed processor, with DDR3 memory, dual-band concurrency rate up to 1900Mbps. Beamforming+ beamforming technology is used to make 2.4GHz... ¥599 Jingdong Details

V. Use summary


Out of the box

First of all, I would like to thank my grandmother for giving me this chance to be tested. When I received the message, I was very excited (and almost threw the phone). I will continue to write the original and live up to my expectations. On the third day after receiving the text message, Shen Tong’s parcel arrived

Apart from opening the door apart, I have to say that Auntie’s tape is really personal. . .

Pull out a piece of paper that reads the precautions of the public, and rest assured that I didn’t look closely...

When Dangdang, the protagonist debut, Tengda's classic color scheme. It looks very good, this box packaging is also a special force.

Plastic, broken.

Behind the black technology is marked, a large number of words that can not read can tell: I am not a nameless junior. . .

The special thing about this box is that there is a thin sponge liner inside the lid, and you can see that the inside of the Apple notebook is also a sponge liner. This cover I feel very hard.

Inside the box is also modeled on the mac, pure black color, plus accessories box, ha ha ha, learning a model like.

Take the thick to be such a thing, a host, a pack of accessories, a specification.

In the accessory box, there is a super five-wire cable (foot meters) and one power adapter.

Have to say that this adapter power is really big, the output reaches 30W (more design redundancy, the machine does not have such high power consumption), the other is this sticker is really low, you directly engraved not good. .

With Xiaomi's adapter put together, a large circle, design I think that Xiaomi learned the essence of Apple.

2. Appearance

Look at this router. He looks like a hairy crab (bionics principle). The surface is completely covered with oblique armor, which can be more effective against long-range armor piercing attacks.

The back is divided into two left buttons, the right side of the socket, there are heat sink slot.

The number of buttons reached a new height, and it is commendable that he also left a position for the power switch, which has a good damping effect and is not loose.

It is worth mentioning that the five mouths are full of gigabits, applauding and spreading flowers. With so many network devices in the home, there is no Gigabit LAN really uncomfortable.

The location of the crab's mouth is a USB 3.0 interface. There are two things I need to say here. First is the location of this port design. Can't really think about it anymore. The design is really uncomfortable here. Your router is already very big. Inserting a hard disk in front of you is really too much of a place. The second is that the speed of this mouth is really fast. Please look down and measure it.

At the bottom, all are hollow slotted, with a cooling rod.

The antenna is a paddle antenna, moderate height, good sense of damping, the interface is fixed, not detachable, but it does not matter, removable for home is also an increase in cost nothing, who will be nothing removed and installed, installed Again. .


All-round HD video without dead ends

With the ancestors together, domineering exposed.

3. Software comparison

In order to more intuitively understand the gap between products, I found two very representative router products to compare and evaluate: Tenda's own W20E (micro-enterprise only), millet router mini. We are conducting comparative evaluation while trying out.

The first to play is: smart router player - millet router mini

1942b40d15ebce15c0.jpg" />

I always thought that Xiaomi's router design is still very good, does not occupy the place, small and exquisite, but the content is full and powerful.

The back interface is a little disappointing, with only two 100 mega lans and a USB 2.0 interface.

I restore the Tenda router to the factory and start to simulate the normal use environment step by step.

Tenda AC18:

Use a mobile phone to connect to wifi, enter the management address, and enter the management interface. After you click Start Experience, the system automatically detects the access type

Accurately identify secondary routes and access the Internet.

Computer-side management page, very general design and options, nothing worth mentioning

The advanced functions are perfect, and almost all the functions that households can use have been fully realized.

System setting options, comprehensive

One function that I am very concerned about is the samba server. With it, with a large-capacity mobile hard disk, family data can be shared, group management can be seen, and rights management is perfect. How practical and look at the measured below.

A good smart router can not be limited to a computer, the mobile end of love can not be less, download Tenda routing app

The UI design looks simple and clear, with full functionality.

Some of the features of the soft switch, led lights (itself is very soft, not dazzling), wifi timer switch, remote wake-up.

Optimizing the channel allows the router to automatically avoid congested busy channels and jump to idle channels to avoid mutual interference.

Software can adjust the antenna's transmit power meter, the default is enhanced mode (really strong)

Daily security self-examination, benevolent sees the person, the wise see wisdom.

The router's management page.

Firmware has been updated, it seems that the update speed is still possible.

Millet router mini:


I also download the management software of the millet router (the volume is slightly larger than that of Tenda, mainly a file management module)

Millet's app is more concise and UI design is also a higher level. After all, it is a veteran Internet company. Open the software to see the router profile directly.

The rest of the features are put into the toolbox, and the functionality is almost the same, but the icon-type buttons look more cordial and clear. The other is that this app supports direct access to the external USB device files of the millet router mini. Is it very worry? Is it a force? Naive! I must give it a try, this function is simply tasteless.

Slot 1: access to resources can not respond quickly, if you open the router app, immediately access the hard disk files, 100% will show no external devices, this time you need to keep the point, point, point, let the interface refresh, refresh, refresh . This process takes about a minute, and then the hard disk will be awakened. Not to mention the speed and speed of the transmission, this process is enough to make people crazy.

Slot 2: Speed ​​is slow to let people speechless, about 4M upload files about 10M or so, from time to time because of the hard drive lost connection broken, I can say I can't stand it, home TV box to see millet router mini HD movie , Can't fast-forward, if fast-forward may cause the hard disk to lose link.

To prove my point of view, we took these two routers as a test of file transfer:

Take out my Queen's mobile hard drive, the hard drive line is Seagate (2T's original hard drive has been hung up). Connect the hard disk to two routers and connect it to the router. The computer uses a network cable to connect directly to the router.

Millet router mini:

This is copied from the computer to the router external hard drive: speed 4M/s

Copy from router hard disk to local hard disk, speed 10M/s

Tenda AC18:

Upload from local hard disk is up to 30M/s

Download from the router to the local speed reaches 40M/S

And because of the samba server's sake, this router can do a quick response. There will never be such annoying situations. It can be said that such file sharing has practical meaning!


Comparing with the software, we can compare the signal with the hardware. The good or bad signals can be said to determine the actual experience of the final use. We have also pulled Tenda's lowest-end enterprise-class wireless router W20E into the battle group, killing it together.


W20E: Do not look at my low-end, I also is a shell router, signal lever

Three long antennas, detachable design, direct power supply access, can be designed on the rack.

I use a mobile phone to install the wifi analyzer, which is one wall and two walls of the router and measures the signal strength.

The first is the 2.4G band:

The signal passes through a wall. Xiaomi is about 10db behind the other two, while the Tenda AC18 is tied with the super-strong W20E.

Standing behind two walls, the signal obviously began to weaken. Tenda AC18 even overtakes W20E. The mini router mini is still at the bottom. (People only have two antennas. Is it alright?)

The following is the 5G band:

5G I have been using less before, because the ability to pass the wall is really bad, if there is no obstacle can be used smoothly, but once the wall, the signal plummeted. Practicality is not very high for me. Here we can still see that Tenda's data is about 10db ahead. The 5G signal is still full after crossing a wall. However, when I stood behind two walls, the two 5G signals were already weak enough to be found. The 5G signal at this stage still can only provide close range use.

Drop test

Play online games, if it is in the past, I'm sure not to mention anything else to choose a wired network, even if the wireless network has a very good signal strength, from time to time the packet loss will make people crazy, it can be described as delay is not terrible, packet loss (card) is terrible . Today we try to use wifi to play online games to see how.

Wireless network card:

One of my favourites on the wireless network card, the signal is good, free drive (strip), low price, with a card:

Mercury (MERCURY) MW150UH free drive version of the USB wireless card wifi receiver portable wifi desktop notes... ¥25 Jingdong

The above figure shows the on-line status of the network cable, with a delay of less than 30ms, which basically does not affect the normal game experience and there is no case of packet loss.

The above figure shows the connection status of playing games with a Tengda AC18 router + wireless network card at a wall interval. There is no great delay, and no packet loss occurs. If you use this router to play games without considering other additional conditions, you can still be competent.

Power test:

Millet router mini, normal operating conditions power 3.15W

Tenda W20E iron shell router, normal power consumption 6.12W

Tenda AC18, normal power consumption 8.49W

Power consumption size: AC18>W20E>MiMi mini


Test summary:


Tenda AC18 router advantages:

1. The appearance is arrogant and cool 2. The function is rich and powerful

3.USB3.0+ Gigabit LAN realizes some of the features that only NAS has and solves the problem of home file sharing.

4 strong signal, large coverage, villa-level router 5. High playability, worry-free brush, improve the space

6. Stable performance, general heat, good heat dissipation.


The shortage of Tenda AC18 router:

1. Large volume, almost equal to the enterprise router 2. USB3.0 interface slightly awkward position, it is better to move to the back

3. The UI design of the app should have room for improvement 4. Signals increase while power consumption reaches a new height

The 5.599 yuan price is still somewhat high at the current stage


AC18 is a router product with outstanding performance, appearance and configuration. It can be said that he subverted my previous impression of Tengda products. Through the use of a few days, I think AC18 can meet the needs of most people. Setting up simple is not tedious for novices and players who don't like tossing, but also has powerful brushing potential (there is Meilin's firmware support now, but it is not perfect enough), which is suitable for advanced players to further tap potential. Nowadays, when selecting high-end router products, we are no longer limited to NETGEAR and ASUS. Tenda AC18 can also be used for battles.

The above is my Tenda AC18 public test report, only to learn from the light, add comments, but also hope that you value a lot of corrections. If you find it helpful, don't forget to pay a reward.
