路由器选购记Router Shopping Chronicle
DR超市买的实际支付两百多实际价值七十元坑爹TPLINK路由越来越不中用了
说到这个TPLINK路由真想吐槽乐购 为毛3C产品价格都卖这么离谱 不过既然是刷购物卡就勉强接收了 这里暂时不谈
经常断线 由于放在我的房间 爹妈那边接收的情况也不乐观 又由于我想试试高端洋气的DDWRT（其实这个是主要原因 但是后来入手之后却没有怎么用哎 不过是后话） 于是踏上路由选购之旅
最初的选择范围是在ASUS和ASUS之间 于是综合预算和外观看中了一款N12售价两百多的路由 没错就是他 华硕 RT-N12 B1 本着什么也不懂的原则准备下单 但是又想到稻草SOFUNJJ
于是询问之 发现两百来块的路由没什么差距 以及sofun又推荐了网件Netgear这个品牌 于是再次打开淘宝搜索 发现了网件JNR系列的一票路由器 但是发现。。。发现。。。居然主控不是螃蟹牌子的！觉得会很坑吧。。。而且作为外貌协会成员的我也不喜欢那一大排跑马灯
没错就是NETGEAR JNR3210 和JNR3000 这两款路由的卖点似乎是千兆端口。。。但是家里10M的宽带用毛毛千兆端口啊！！！毛毛千兆啊！！！
后来发现JNR系列似乎是定位与娱乐 随感觉做工肯定坑 于是往上查看WNDR系列（是的！预算什么的！DDWRT什么的！已经全忘了！）
加之在一个博客看到过说WNDR3300系列很赞 于是开始浏览 但是3300果断是买不起的啊摔！能买那个我都买ASUS N16去了！（华硕脑残粉 华硕人类希望 华硕再战十年）
于是初步心水WNDR3700 想要的功能也差不多有了（又及 在挑选的过程中又想体验一下路由下载和FTP功能了 其实后来证明我根本不会用这种高端洋气的功能摔智商捉鸡）
于是再次准备下单 脑残再问SOFUNJJ Buffalo（原谅我至今不会拼这个单词 输入法又打不出正确的中文） 回答做工尚可 于是再再次搜索！瞬间看上WZR-HP-G300NH2 再一看想要的功能都有 DDWRT(没错我又想起来了) FTP 信号也尚可 重点是很好看 于是购买
另 当时网店价格最低的天猫还没上班 于是一咬牙易讯379购入 权当买个放心（自我安慰不要揭穿我）
值此 路由选购完毕
总结
1.预算这个东西 哎 还是忘掉预算吧
2.各厂家一定要把自己的产品做得好看啊！
3.跑马灯不可取
4.过年的时候不要购物
5.没了 我只是觉得4不吉利而已
The rip-off TPLINK router bought at the DR supermarket, two hundred plus actually paid, seventy yuan actually worth, has been getting more and more useless
Speaking of this TPLINK router, I really must roast Tesco. Why on earth are 3C products priced so outrageously there? But since it went on a shopping card, I grudgingly accepted it. We’ll leave that aside for now
It drops offline all the time, and since it sits in my room, reception on my parents’ side isn’t looking good either. Plus I wanted to try the posh, high-end DDWRT (actually this was the main reason, though after I got the router I barely used it, sigh, but that’s a story for later). And so I set out on my router-shopping journey
The initial range of choices ran from ASUS all the way to ASUS. Weighing budget and looks together, I fell for an N12 router selling for two hundred plus. That’s right, that one, the ASUS RT-N12 B1. Operating on the principle of understanding absolutely nothing, I was about to place the order, but then I thought of my straw to clutch at, SOFUNJJ
So I asked, and it turns out routers around two hundred kuai barely differ, and sofun recommended the brand Netgear too. So I opened Taobao again and searched, and found a whole pile of Netgear JNR-series routers. But I found… found… the main chip isn’t even the crab brand! Bound to be a trap, right… And as a proud member of the looks-first club, I didn’t care for that big row of marquee lights either
That’s right, the NETGEAR JNR3210 and JNR3000. The selling point of these two seems to be gigabit ports… but on the 10M broadband at home, what the hell would I do with gigabit ports!!! Gigabit my foot!!!
Later I gathered that the JNR series seems positioned for entertainment, and my gut said the build quality had to be a trap, so I moved up to browse the WNDR series (yes! The budget! The DDWRT! All completely forgotten!)
On top of that I’d seen a blog say the WNDR3300 series was excellent, so I started browsing. But the 3300 was flat-out beyond my means, gah! If I could afford that I’d have gone for the ASUS N16 instead! (ASUS diehard fan. ASUS, hope of mankind. ASUS, good for ten more years)
So my first crush was the WNDR3700, which had pretty much every feature I wanted (P.S. somewhere in the picking process I got the itch for router downloads and FTP as well. As it later turned out, I had no clue how to use such posh high-end features, gah, IQ in shambles)
So once again I readied the order, and like a moron consulted SOFUNJJ once more, about Buffalo (forgive me, to this day I can’t spell that word, and my input method won’t even produce the proper Chinese). Verdict: build quality passable. So I searched yet-yet again! Instantly fell for the WZR-HP-G300NH2. One more look and every feature I wanted was there, DDWRT (yes, I’d remembered it again), FTP, decent signal too, and above all, it’s good-looking. So, purchased
Also, Tmall, which had the lowest online price at the time, wasn’t back from holiday yet, so I gritted my teeth and bought it on Yixun for 379, calling it peace of mind (self-consolation, don’t you dare call me out)
And with that, router shopping concluded
To sum up
-
Budgets. Ah, better just forget the budget
-
Manufacturers, you simply must make your products good-looking!
-
Marquee lights: a hard no
-
Never shop during Chinese New Year
-
That’s all. I just felt four was unlucky
