Honor Hunter Game Router Review: Focus On Game Optimization, Intelligent Acceleration Is Smoother

The rise of mobile games has shifted the attention of game players from computers to smartphones, because smartphones can be carried around and enter the battle anytime, anywhere. In response to the needs of these game players, Honor launched a professional-level game router-Honor Hunter Game Router.

The Honor hunter game router is really a smart router for games. The appearance is full of game elements. The top four colorful light bands show the game style, and the creative mech design is also very delicate. In order to achieve maximum performance, the Hunter Game Router is equipped with Lingxiao quad-core 1.4GHz CPU and Lingxiao true tri-band Wi-Fi chip, 6 signal amplifiers, supporting full gigabit, dual-band optimization, dual-network dual-pass, WAN / LAN adaptive network port. Coupled with smart life APP and rich application plug-ins, make routing as colorful as smart phones.

In addition, the Honor Hunter Game Router is also equipped with Huawei's patented technologies, Game Turbo and Game Mode, with exclusive gaming Wi-Fi channels and X-shaped gaming antennas, which reduces game latency and improves mobile gaming experience. At the same time, the Honor hunter game router built-in Xunyou accelerator can provide comprehensive support for computer games.

Appearance
The packaging of the Honor hunter game router is full of strong technology style, and the black background is full of the vertical and horizontal gaming style lines. At the top is Logo of the Honor Route , which is composed of two gamepads. Let’s look at the front design. Although the design of the router has changed a lot since entering the intelligent era, the mecha design has been seen for the first time, especially with the cool lighting effects. The back of the box is a detailed introduction for the router.




Accessories include manuals, power adapters and Gigabit Ethernet cables. The router is one of the few appliances in the home that is always on for 24 hours, so power consumption is the most concerned issue. The power consumption of the Honor Hunter Game Router is only 12V / 2A, which is only 24W.


The Honor hunter game router is larger than ordinary routers, and its design ideas come from mecha. The matte gray and matte texture is very delicate and smooth. The top is divided into eight parts of varying sizes, with a symmetrical design, four groups of large sides connected to the router body, and four groups of fence-type cooling nets, which can create a three-dimensional effect. The grid is at a 45-degree oblique angle, coupled with the deliberately rough feel, is it more like a mech?In fact, this is the heat dissipation mesh of the router, which forms a heat dissipation channel with the grid mesh at the bottom.Four groups of heat dissipation channels are distributed around the router body, which can take away the heat generated.There is also an LED light strip below each of the four grids, which will light up after turning on, making the router look more cool.


There is only one "H" key in the front. The users need to click the "H" key when adding a new device. The surface of the "H" key is a logo of Honor, which is about the same size as a keyboard key. It requires a little pressure when pressed, without light effects. At the right is the "Honor hunter" logo in a vertical design.



The back of the router is the network port access area. The Honor hunter game router provides four Gigabit WAN / LAN adaptive network ports. In other words, no matter which interface can be connected to the network cable, the computer will automatically recognize the Honor hunter game router. Below is the reset button and DC power connection.


The rubber pad with anti-slip and shock-absorbing effect at the bottom not only increases the bottom space, but also facilitates air circulation and enhances heat dissipation.


After the Honor Hunter game router is connected to the power adapter, the lights above the router will light up and present a cool red light effect.In addition to the red indicator light, it will display green after connecting to the network, and there are colorful light effects when playing games.The quality of the antenna material and the Wi-Fi chip is the key to affecting the signal strength. The Honor Hunter game router uses a built-in antenna, coupled with the Lingxiao tri-band Wi-Fi chip, dual-band concurrency performance increased by 50%, and also built-in 6 independent signal amplifiers, X-type gaming antenna, so the signal is stronger and the coverage area is wider.


Due to the outstanding appearance, the Honor Hunter Route is usually used in the living room. In my opinion, it is better put it on the TV cabinet to cover a larger area. Because the TV cabinet is a home center, there is no cover in front, so the best signal can be obtained from all angles. Do not put it in the corner of the wall, because the signal is the worst when placed in this way, the signal strength can only be used in a separate room.

Network Connecting
The access method of the router is very simple. If there are other appliances at home, such as computers and smart TVs, also can access the router easily. In addition to a computer, we can also use a mobile phone to connect, and the method is very simple. Download the Huawei Smart Life APP in advance. After the APP is opened, it will search for the router automatically.

The first thing after connecting to the network is upgrading the firmware. The benefits of the upgrade are obvious, optimizing the system's operating speed, improving the Internet experience, and updating the game database. Because it takes five minutes at least to upgrade the router, we need to wait patiently. The upgraded interface of the router is also completely renewed. It is divided into three parts from top to bottom, which are network conditions, real-time speed of download and upload, and specific functional devices.

The Honor hunter routing divides the functions of traditional routing into small functions, which are more efficient to set up individually and easier to operate. One-click physical examination is a comprehensive detection of router and network conditions. Use this function to know the network situation in the shortest time when the network is abnormal; game acceleration is to accelerate the supported games during playing.In addition, power consumption is also one of the factors to be considered. The sleep mode consumes the lowest power and saves power; the standard mode consumes slightly more power than the sleep mode, which is recommended for daily use; the wall-through mode consumes the most power and has the strongest signal, which is suitable for turning on when playing games.


The dedicated channels of loT and HiLink are aimed at intelligent hardware. The connected intelligent devices can view detailed information and be controlled.


The biggest difference between the Honor hunter game router and the ordinary intelligent router can be seen from the name clearly. The Honor Hunter Game Router is equipped with Huawei's self-developed Game Mode function and is an exclusive weapon that dares to position itself as a game router. The router will  identify the captured data automatically from the data stream and enter the mobile game acceleration mode automatically. With the optimized support of the Game Wi-Fi dedicated band, we can get the best results when playing games, and the network connection can always remain stable.

In addition, in order to achieve a better game effect, the Honor Hunter Game Router is equipped with an innovative X-type orthogonal polarized antenna for the exclusive 5G game channel. It is designed for horizontal screen mobile games without fear of rotation.


The Honor Hunter Game Router is a real smart router that can download various applications from the built-in router market, and the number of applications is increasing constantly. APPs such as restart, timing acceleration, DIY lighting effects, timing redial, smart mode, and bandwidth speedup are all important, and I recommend downloading them directly.


Support computer games

The Honor Hunter Game Road not only provides optimization for mobile games, but also provides strong support for computer and console games. The built-in Xunyou accelerator supports most of the mainstream games in the market, and we only need to enable the relevant acceleration when playing games.Xunyou Accelerator is the third-generation intelligent multi-core online game accelerator, which supports one-click acceleration. The normal version is only free for 5 days, but the glory hunter game router built-in Xunyou accelerator can be free for 30 days.

With the advent of smart routers, the design of routers has also changed dramatically. It's just easy to use, but it doesn't have a router designed for games. Game players often encounter disturbing situations such as screen freezes and data loss when playing games. The Honor Hunter Game Router is truly a smart router for games. From appearance design to software and hardware configuration, coupled with smart life apps and rich application plug-ins, the router is as colorful as a smartphone.
