Wireless networks play an important role in people's lives. Although most homes have installed 100M or even 200M bandwidth networks basically, we will find that the network speed has not really increased with the increase of bandwidth. This may be related to the old router at home, at this time we need a good router.

Honor has been working hard to bring good products to users, and recently also released a new router : Honor Router2S.This new router is an enhanced version of the previous generation Honor Route 2, because it is upgraded and equipped with 4 independent signal amplifiers,while it also continues some of the advantages of Honor Route 2,such as dual gigabit design, dual frequency optimization, dual network dual pass etc.So what is the actual experience of this upgraded router? Let's take a look at it.
Honor Router 2S

Appearance
With the rapid development of technology, the appearance of routers has also changed a lot.It is no longer the shape of octopus in people's minds.This time the appearance of the Honor Router 2S still uses a family-style rounded rectangular column design, which is small and beautiful, and also saves space.

The Honor Router 2S uses a matte touch texture, which is very gentle and durable, and can better integrate into various home environments.

There is a smart "H" button and a routing status indicator at the front of the Honor Router 2S.The small hole-shaped signal lights are like fireflies at night, which will not disturb the user's daily life.

The back of the Honor Router 2S is designed with all functional interfaces, which are power interface, three 1000M WAN / LAN interfaces, and a reset hole.

Dual-network dual-pass, simple and quick installation method:
Step 1: Plug in the power and network cables to the Honor Router 2S. We do not have to worry about the problem of unsuccessful configuration due to the wrong network cable, because the network port of the Honor Router 2S eliminates the separation between the WAN port and the LAN port.

Step 2: Download the Smart Home App. After completing the registration and login in, the configuration interface will pop up automatically. After identifying the Honor Router 2S and clicking it, we can complete the basic configuration of the router. Finally, only need to enter the network login name and password, and set the WiFi name and password.

4 independent signal amplifiers, stronger and more stable high-power router
The Honor Router 2S uses a built-in design and adjusts the antenna to a more scientific angle, eliminating signal interference effectively and making Wi-Fi coverage wider. And this design also improves the appearance of the router, making it not as silly, big, and stupid as ordinary routers. In addition, the Honor Router 2S is the industry's first to have 4 independent signal amplifiers built into the router. Each of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi is equipped with 2 independent signal amplifiers. Plus the support of LDPC weak signal error correction algorithms, the transmission efficiency is higher, the signal strength is stronger and the coverage area is wider.

More advanced dual gigabit

The Honor Router 2S is equipped with a full Gigabit network port and dual-band 1167M Wi-Fi, which can meet the access requirements of 100M and above fiber broadband easily.Under 100M broadband, the sharing speed of 100M LAN port is generally 10-11MB / s, and the sharing speed of Gigabit LAN port is about 110M, which is 10 times faster than the 100M network port.

Smarter dual-frequency optimization
The dual-band optimization is also a major feature of the Honor Router 2S. It supports 2.4G and 5G dual frequency-in-one technology and combines the two frequency bands into a network. In theory, 2.4GHz has stronger wall penetration performance and wider coverage; 5GHz has a faster speeds in close-range. Traditional routers need to switch between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz manually, and the Honor Router 2S can select a better Wi-Fi frequency band for users automatically by analyzing the real-time network signal conditions of the terminal equipment to ensure stable signals and speed.

Dual-network dual-pass
The Honor Router 2S can be connected to the networks of two operators at the same time, and can switch quickly between two wireless networks. For example, in the school, many students and teachers often use the campus intranet to learn, and at the same time they will connect to an extranet for entertainment life. In this way, the Honor Router 2S can also allow university teachers and students to access the campus intranet and extranet easily.The same situation also occurs in ordinary families, one for the boyfriend to play games, the other for the girlfriend to watch TV, which means that one router can be used as two routers, that is really very cost-effective.

Powerful configuration
In terms of hardware performance, the Honor Router 2S uses a 28nm flagship processor with a main frequency of up to 1GHz, and 128MB of large Flash and 128MB of large memory, which can  handle data transmission of multiple terminal devices easily;It also uses the second-generation 11AC MUMIMO multi-device transmission and reception technology, which can meet the needs of a family surfing the Internet at the same time.

Use and test
Please see below pictures, the actual wireless signal coverage strength of the Honor Router 2S is measured in the main bedroom, the second bedroom, the living room, and the toilet.

1. Connect the Honor router 2S in the living room.
2. Use the living room, master bedroom and toilet with good signal, and the second bedroom with poor signal as test points.
3. Test at least 3 times per test point.
4. The test software is speedtest.

The test results show that in the living room where the signal is better, the Honor Router 2S recognizes the 5G signal and connects automatically. The highest download rate is 62.4Mpbs and the highest upload rate is 18.6Mpbs; In the master bedroom across the wall, the Honor Router 2S also identified 5G signals with faster transmission rates for connection. The highest download rate was 61.5Mpbs and the highest upload rate was 19.1Mpbs; When testing in a bathroom with a thick wall separated by a long distance, the Honor Router 2S also automatically recognized the 5G signal connection. The test download rate was up to 53.8Mpbs and the highest upload rate was 19.0Mpbs; The test results of these three places show that the Honor router 2S with very strong signal strength.Finally, when the test was performed in the second bedroom with the worst signal, the download rate was 51.4Mpbs and the highest upload rate was 19.0Mpbs. When using other routers, it can only reach half the speed of the Honor Router 2S.

The Honor Router 2S uses the latest 802.11AC MU-MIMO technology, which is 20% faster than ordinary 802.11AC, and can support high-speed transmission of multiple devices. Therefore, whether it is in the living room and the master bedroom with a better signal, or in the second bedroom with a poor signal, the Honor Router 2S can have good signal strength. I believe that this is because of the Honor Router 2S upgrade and built-in 4 independent signal amplifiers.

In addition, I would like to talk about the appearance of the Honor Router 2S, which continues the minimalist design of the Honor Router series. This design has been loved by young people who are pursuing quality of life.At the same time, the Honor Router 2S also has a built-in tuning-free antenna design, which can effectively eliminate signal interference; As a new dual-gigabit smart router, the Honor Router 2S also has the advantages of dual-network dual-pass, dual-frequency optimization, and Wi-Fi automatic optimization, etc. In general, the Honor Router 2S is very cost-effective compared to other routers at the same price.
