Next, let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the next two networking schemes, and then you can choose the most cost-effective scheme according to the actual situation of your home. Wireless access point network: high cost and maintenance trouble. From the experience, the advantages of wireless AP networking are very obvious. The whole family has a Wifi name, which can roam automatically without manual switching.
Behind the excellent experience of wireless AP networking is the expensive networking cost. A house with an area of 120 square meters needs to install wireless AP equipment in at least 3-4 places. At present, the price of wireless AP supporting gigabit network transmission is around 500 yuan. Coupled with the network cable and wireless AP manager, the networking cost of wireless AP is about 3500 yuan.
Another point is that the early debugging and design of wireless AP networking is also complicated, and signal coverage needs to be considered. Later wireless AP networking also needs higher technology. Wireless routing networking: poor economic and practical experience. Because it is difficult for a wireless router to cover houses above 120, if you want to have Wifi signals in every part of your home, you can install multiple routers.
Multiple wireless routing networks, in order to ensure the signal strength, users need to switch back and forth between multiple Wifi, and the experience is relatively poor. However, the cost of wireless routing networking is almost the same, and the price of gigabit wireless routers is around 200 yuan. The overall design of Wifi networking Whether using wireless AP networking or wireless routing networking, home Wifi networking needs a design scheme. Simply put, the light cat can be placed in a weak box, and the wireless router or wireless AP manager suggests putting it in the living room to facilitate future network expansion.
Three network cables come out of the weak box to the living room, of which 1 is used for surfing the Internet, the other one is used for IPTV set-top boxes, and the other one is reserved. Then, lay a network cable from the living room to each room and install wireless AP or wireless routing. In short, home Wifi networking is still based on practicality, and future upgrades should be fully considered. Although Huawei Route Q2 and Xiaomi Mesh Route support power supply networking, the speed of power supply networking is not stable compared with network cable networking.
