NETGEAR Netgear R6400 1750M Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router Unboxing Experience

Write in front:

Hello everyone, I've come again.

This coincidence, to buy a more cost-effective router: Netgear R6400 dual-band Gigabit wireless router.

This is the goods:

Buy R6400:

When buying, did not think too much, anyway, the home router is to be replaced, because it has not waited until R7000 and AC68U special price. Therefore, we entered this, I heard that many of the big gods who burn routers, it seems that there are a lot of routers, big deal, later when this is a backup. .

The purchase channel is in the hot sale shared by Aunt Zhang. Everybody remembers to look at the reviews in the hot sale, if you and I are in the same batch. . . Comrade, hold a hand.

Order screenshot:

Reason for purchase:

I have a black group NAS network storage. This is the original:

However, the router used in the home has only a hundred megabytes of sensation. There is no Gigabit switch, and the desktop is connected to the line. There is no problem in using it.

However, mobile phones and wireless notebooks are a bit too slow to access NAS, only 10M/S.

However, this is not an important point. The key point is that the coverage area is very small. When it comes to toilets, it is basically impossible to receive the Internet and the home is 110 square meters.

So always thinking about changing a router!

Purchase reference:

Want a wireless LAN can be faster, located in the 500-900 yuan price router.

After reading some of the recommended products, I feel that there are 2 more attractive ones: Netgear R7000 and ASUS AC68U.

As for why these two are good, the main users are still saying that these two are good, then when they are okay. Within the scope of this ability to accept.

Eventually inadvertently saw the R6400 have activities, so the price of less than 500, then start. Taking into account some of the circumstances of his own home, I feel that this can be competent. As for the legendary SS and Merlin, this has not been too deep to understand, and later in the article to try to understand.

However, it can be said in advance that the R6400 does not support Meilin. For those of you who don't understand Merlin, for the time being, you don't know where Merlin is. After that, I shared it with everyone again.

Network knowledge: 5Gwifi

Speaking of 5G wifi, some of my friends may not understand what this thing is like the one I learned before.

Why say 5G wifi. The reason is that the router I bought was 450M + 1350M. The 450M is 2.4g wifi. The effect is the same as the previous ordinary router.

But to LAN speed fast enough, only use 5G wifi. In order to achieve the maximum speed of 1350M network.

Is there really a 1000M wireless effect? It is said that you have your wireless network card support. And 5Gwifi also has a lot of benefits:

5G wifi is still necessary. It is said that 5G is not good for wearing walls, and if you use the wall, it will be much better with 2.4G. .

In the Jingdong orders, the speed of one day arrived and the speed was good. Get ready to unpack!

First, out of the box:

1, positive packaging box:

2, on the back of the box, dense introduction of some of the features, did not look carefully:

3, the side is also introduced, the whole 709g, or a bit heavy:

4, on the right side of the introduction, but also a bunch of parameters that really do not see these parameters:

5. Some parameters at the bottom, including the serial number and place of origin, are located in Vietnam.

6, tear the film, open the package: See the quick start:

7, the entire machine is much larger than imagined, the film package is very good:

8, take out R6400, there is a charger, and a 1.5m cable:

9, used to compare with the previous router, this is really much larger, the router seems to have spent more than 200, a little do not remember.

10, generally do not tear off the film, afraid of gray matter, in order to create a love tear film people:

11, looks more beautiful, the entire panel is composed of numerous small dots, good texture:

12, the antenna is not removable, stand up antenna, feel really domineering:

13, next to the cooling holes, trapezoidal design, very beautiful. Looks like this shape and R7000 seem to be like:

14, the front has a USB 3.0 interface, can be used to put an external U disk, mobile hard disk:

15, take a different angle:

16, the top of a pile of lights, can not read:

17, USB 3.0 special effects, which read: storage, it really is inserted into the storage device:

18, router back:

19. There are four LAN ports on the back, all of which are Gigabit. One WAN port. A USB 2.0 interface, even the printer. 1 power switch. 1 power connector:

20, the antenna looks good, can not be dismantled, it is not very important:

21, the back of the model and some parameter data:

22, WAN port, USB2.0, power switch, interface close-up:

23, there is a Reset reset hole, 4 Gigabit LAN ports, this to give praise, you can save the switch money ah:

24, charger:

25, using a 12V, 2.5A charger:

26, network cable:

27, is said to be over 5 types of cable: looks like there is a 5 above the cable, if there is 6 is super 6?

28, group photo:

29. Compared with the previous router again, this way obviously feels that the R6400 is really big and bulky:

Unpacking is complete!

Second, start experiencing:

1. Pick up the legendary Quick Guide: Follow the instructions to install:

Observing the antenna: It's best to stand in the middle, next to two 25° expansion:

Prepare the network cable, connect it, connect it, and enter the background to start the setup:

2, a picture tells you, how to set up:

Plug in the power, plug the cable into the WAN port, and then a network cable is assigned to the Gigabit switch:

After the router is turned on, the lights are cool and bright, but the background can be turned off to most of the lights:

3, after everything is ready, start to operate on the computer:

On the computer webpage, enter: routerlogin.net to enter the background, account: admin password: password

In fact, when you open the web page for the first time, it is set automatically:

Change the IP address of the router to 10.0.0.1. In fact, access to 10.0.0.1 can also be entered in the background:

This 10.0.0.2 is actually the same as the previous router 192.168.1.2, but for the sake of convenience, change it to 10:

4, then is the point has been the next step, set up a good network account password, in general, it will automatically help you set this:

Then the setup is complete:

5, this time even normal networking, you can also go online, we enter the background management:

In the browser, enter: 10.0.0.1, Account: admin Password: password

This is the background page of the NETGEAR: it looks ugly and looks complicated:

6. I then clicked on each of these options and observed some of these feature settings:

7, Brush, Xiaobao firmware :

For playability, although the R6400 doesn't support Merlin firmware now, but there is also Xiaobao's firmware on the Internet. What's the function of Xiaobao's firmware?

Probably these are:

After Xiaobao's fixed file is downloaded, he goes to the background: advanced, router upgrade, select browse, find Xiaobao's firmware:

In order to prevent many people from not finding the firmware, you can save the firmware and you can download it at any time:

Link: Extract Password: 718f

Tip This version is older and ignores the point. As long as it is easy to use stability.

After waiting for the router to restart, the flash is complete:

Open the router background management page, you can clearly see the Xiaobao-0.2 name appears in the upper left corner.

Then there are more functions in the router settings, such as SS bassic. These are newcomers and have not studied.

8, comes with some software:

When entering the background, there are two software downloads.

They are Genie apps, and easy to share:

After the installation, the wizard application is a simplified version of the background management. If you want to upgrade the firmware, you still have to go to the web background, and feel useless, uninstall:

An easy-to-share application, in simple terms, is a storage drive that can be inserted after a removable hard disk is plugged into a router.

And other brands of routers store a similar feeling, after installation is all in English, because there is a NAS, this useless, I feel can not parry.

So I also uninstalled. . :

9, features:

LAN IP binding:

Into the background advanced there are LAN settings, point to add, you can set an address, each start, are fixed IP, such as 10.0.0.16. The purpose of this is to remotely access your NAS.

QoS settings:

Upstream QoS guarantees gaming experience and is not prone to stuck situations. Mainly to prevent the local network has other settings in the upload network:

Downstream Qos can guarantee that when watching videos, it will not be bothered by some downloads and increase the experience of watching videos:

Transmit power adjustment:

Into the background, advanced, wireless network, you can set the area. The default is China, change the region to Asia or Australia:

You can set the maximum power for the Super wifi. It is said that after setting this up, you can increase a lot.

There are reminders when setting up:

According to some big gods analyze the transmission power:

If your home installed R6400 feels bad signal, you can try this method!


Third, tail (pros and cons):

Unconsciously arrived at the tail again, this time the experience of the router is still very good, nets in the background management, the first use, seemingly complex, in fact, quite easy. The router is an object that is turned on at home for 24 hours. It really doesn't need how gorgeous it is. As long as he can stabilize, it is best if he does not crash.

advantage:

1, signal coverage. After the Super WiFi is turned on, the signal is almost dead. In areas where toilets are more biased, the WIFI network signal is still full.

2, 5G wifi stability. In the case of a wall, use 5Gwifi card, not dropped, than other brands 5G, this 5G is great.

3, the basic functions are all. For example, port forwarding, NAS access to external networks, features all have, home control, guest mode, all have.

Disadvantages:

1, less firmware. Especially now there is no Merlin firmware, some good features, and no experience.

2, not as good as R7000 in all aspects, in addition to cheaper prices. The antenna is better than the R6300V2 in terms of price, but not as good as the firmware. So cost-effective.

3, the price is high. Unless you are buying specials. Without the support of SS Merlin firmware, it is not suitable for most people. Recommended for friends who do not toss, buy on demand.

Thank you for watching, if you encounter a fun digital product, I will write another original, we will see you next time!
