Miyaad dareentay in router badan oo AC ah laga bilaabay suuqa dhowrkii bilood ee la soo dhaafay? Maxay AC u taagan tahay? Waxaa soo baxday inay tahay heerka isku xirka wireless-ka ee ugu dambeeyay. Waxa loo malaynayaa in ay tahay ku-guuleeyaha heerka 802.11n oo ay bixiso xawaaraha gudbinta aragtida ilaa 500 Mbit/s . Taasi aad ayey ugu dhakhsaha badan tahay wireless-ka laakiin kuwan router-yada AC wax fiican ma yihiin? Si aan u bilowno ka jawaabista su'aasha, waxaan tijaabinay AC router-kii ugu horreeyay ee aan gacanta ku qaban karno: Belkin AC 1000 DB. Aynu^(Let) ogaano waxa ay bixiso, sida ay u shaqeyso iyo haddii ay u qalanto lacagtaada.

Tilmaamaha Hardware

Maxaa ka dhigaya router-kan Belkin inuu istaago waa taageeradeeda IEEE 802.11ac , heerka isku xirka kumbuyuutarka ee wireless, kaas oo wali ku jira horumarka. Hadda, nooca ugu dambeeyay ee heerka waa Qabyo 4.0^{(Draft 4.0)} . Ansixinta waxa la filayaa dabayaaqada 2013. Marka laga reebo taas, waa router caadiga ah oo leh afar dekedood oo LAN ah iyo laba dekedood oo USB ah. Waxay taageertaa nidaamyada Dynamic , Static , PPOE ee isku xirka internetka^(Internet) , waxay ka shaqeysaa labadaba 2.4 iyo 5 GHz waxayna bixisaa WEP , WPA iyo WPA2 amniga wireless.

Ugu yaraan aragti ahaan, router-ku wuxuu bixiyaa xawaare laba-band ah oo isku mar ah ilaa 965 Mbps (300 Mbps ee inta jeer ee 2.4 GHz + 665 Mbps ee 5 GHz ). Waxaad ka heli kartaa qeexitaankeeda oo dhammaystiran bogga badeecada rasmiga ah: AC 1000 DB Wi-Fi Dual-Band AC+ Gigabit Router .

Furitaanka Belkin AC 1000 DB

Baakadu waa shay heersare ah oo qurux badan: way fiicantahay, way fududahay in sanduuqa laga saaro waxayna ka kooban tahay waxaad filanayso inaad gudaha ka hesho.

Waxaad ka heli doontaa router laftiisa, fiilada shabakad gaaban, sahayda korantada, hagaha rakibaadda degdega ah oo aan faahfaahin badan ka bixin, saxanka habeynta iyo kaadhka degdega ah oo leh qaar ka mid ah goobaha hore loo diyaariyey.

Inkasta oo xirfada sawir qaadistayda ay tahay wax dhib ah, waxaan qiyaasayaa inaad adigu naftaada ogaan karto in kani yahay router weyn oo qurux badan. Way ka culus tahay kuwa kale ee aan tijaabiyey waxayna u egtahay mid wanaagsan. Sidoo kale, dhamaystirku wuu ka tayo wanaagsan yahay marka loo eego qoyskii hore ee Belkin router.

Sidoo kale, ma jiraan wax badan oo LEDs ah oo ku shidan. Qaar idinka mid ah ayaa hubaal taas u mahadcelin doona. Waan ogahay inaan sameeyo. Aaladu waayadan dambe waxay leeyihiin nalal aad u badan oo shidan mar walba. 🙂

Dejinta router

Dajinta router-ka bilowga ah waxay qaadataa waqti gaaban si loo fuliyo waxaana ku lug leh dhowr tillaabo. Waxaa lagu weydiinayaa inaad doorato dalka aad ku sugan tahay, bixi tafaasiisha akoonkaaga ISP ( Bixiyaha Adeegga Internetka^{(Internet Service Provider)} ) waana taas.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, macnaheedu maaha in shaqadaadu halkaas ku dhammaanayso. Waxaa jira dhowr tillaabo oo dheeri ah oo ay tahay inaad gacanta ku sameyso. Marka hore^(First) , waa inaad bedeshaa erayga sirta ah ee loo isticmaalo si aad u gasho routerkaaga. Sida caadiga ah erayga sirta ah waa maran tanina waxay u taagan tahay dhibaato amni. Kadibna, goobaha shabakadaada bilaa-waayirka ah waxa lagu sii habeeyey oo wata qiyamka caadiga ah, oo lagu daabacay kaadhka degdega ah ee laga helay baakadda. Sida ay wadaagaan dhowr cilmi-baarayaal amniga ah, tani waxay matali kartaa arrin kale oo amniga ah. Faahfaahin dheeraad ah ayaa laga heli karaa halkan: Furaha WPA2 ee caadiga ah ee Belkin router si fudud ayaa loo shaqeeyay^{(Default WPA2 password on Belkin routers is easily worked out)} . Waa in aad badashaa magaca shabakada ( SSID ) una badasho wax aad si fudud ugu aqoonsanayso shabakadaada oo aad adeegsato furaha sirta ah (furaha amniga).

Interface-ka maamulka ayaa u eg sidii jiilalkii hore ee Belkin router. Kuma jiraan astaamo horumarsan oo aad u badan laakiin way fududahay in la isticmaalo, xitaa haddii aad tahay qof cusub.

Halkaa marka ay marayso, waxaan ogaaday farqi muhiim ah oo ka duwan moodooyinkii hore ee Belkin . Ma qaadanayso wakhti dheer in lagu dabaqo dhammaan isbeddelladaada, iyada oo aan loo eegin inta ay yar tahay. Goobaha qaarkood waxay u baahan yihiin dib u bilaw dhamaystiran oo router ah kaas oo qaadanaya 80-90 ilbiriqsi. Taasi waa wax badan oo la jaan qaadaya moodooyinka hore. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, hadda waxaa jira isbeddello yar oo yaryar oo u baahan kaliya 8 ilaa 10 ilbiriqsi si loo codsado. Horumar soo dhawayn leh. Mar dambe ma aan yeelan dareenka ah in habeynta wax kasta oo aan u baahanahay ay waligeed qaadanayso. Waxaan rajeynayaa in Belkin uu sii wadi doono horumarinta aaggan.

Waxqabadka

Waxaan aad u xiisaynayay inaan arko sida ugu wanagsan ee nooca cusub ee router-ku u shaqeeyo. Waxaan ku tijaabiyaa router gurigeyga oo qiyaastii ah 90 mitir oo laba jibbaaran (980 cagood oo laba jibbaaran) oo cabbirkiisu yahay. Marka hore^(First) , waxaan ogaaday in calaamada inta jeer ee 5GHz ay ​​isbedbedesho wax ka yar kuwa router-yada kale, oo ay ku jiraan, ASUS RT-N56U waxaan ku eegnay^{(ASUS RT-N56U we reviewed)} halkan 7 Casharrada^{(7 Tutorials)} . Farqigu ma weyna laakiin waa la dareemi karaa. Haddii ASUS RT-N56U aysan awoodin inay bixiso wax calaamad ah geesaha aadka u fog ee aqalka, Belkin AC 1000 DB wuxuu awooday inuu keeno xoogaa calaamad ah. Calaamadaha inta jeer ee 2.4GHz maaha mid xoogan. Taas bedelkeeda, way ka badan tahay kuwa kale ee aan tijaabiyay, oo ay ku jiraan ASUS RT-N56U. Maadaama heerka 802.11ac uu ka shaqeeyo kaliya 5GHz, waa iska caddahay sababta injineerada Belkin ay diiradda u saareen hagaajinta xoogga calaamada iyo xasilloonida soo noqnoqda. Ka dib, waxaan ka koobiyay qaar ka mid ah faylalka shabakada, anigoo isticmaalaya kombiyuutarada ku xiran fiilada. Waxaan ogaaday in xawaaruhu uu aad u xasiloon yahay, ku dhawaad ​​88 MB/s (mahadsanid SSD drive). Inkasta oo ay tani fiicnayd, xawliga ugu badan ee la gaadhay wuu ka yaraa marka loo eego jiheeyayaasha kale, kaas oo oggolaaday wareejinta 100 MB/s . Waxaan sameeyay imtixaano kale oo waxaan ogaaday in isku xirka fiilooyinka uu had iyo jeer ka gaabiyey marka loo eego marka la isticmaalayo router kale. Tusaale ahaan, ku wareejinta faylasha BitTorrent waxay suurtogal ahayd oo keliya ugu badnaan 3.8 MB/shalkii aan ka ahaan lahaa 10 MB/s waxaan si sahal ah ula gaaray router kale. Sidoo kale, Speedtest.net waxay daaha ka qaaday in xawaarahayga soo dejinta iyo soo dejinta ay kala badh ka ahaayeen sidii aan ku heli jiray router-yada kale: 38 Mbps soo dejinta xawaaraha halkii 70 Mbps iyo 21.51 Mpbs soo dejinta xawaaraha halkii 62 Mbps . Kuma faraxsanayn si walba. Marka xigta^(Next) , waxaan wareejiyay qaar ka mid ah faylal waaweyn markii lagu xiray shabakadda wirelesska ee ka shaqeysa 2.4GHz. Xawaaraha ugu badan ee la gaarey wuxuu ahaa 11.8 MB/s marka uu u dhow yahay router-ka. Cidhifyada fog ee aqalka, xawaaruhu wuxuu hoos ugu dhacay 2.5 MB/s. Natiijo wanaagsan! Ugu dambeyntii, waxaan wareejiyay isla faylal isku mid ah markii lagu xiray shabakadda wirelesska ee ka shaqeysa 5GHz. Xawaaraha ugu badan ee la gaarey wuxuu ahaa 16 MB/s marka loo dhawaado router-ka. Cidhifyada ugu fog ee aqalka, xawaaruhu wuxuu hoos ugu dhacay 1.8 MB/s . Tani waa natiijo aad u wanaagsan! Markaad baadhayso shabakada, Speedtest.net ma muujin farqi macno leh oo u dhexeeya labada jeer ee soo noqnoqda, waaba intaasoo aan u dhowayn router. Isagoo eegaya habka Belkin AC 1000DB la sameeyay, natiijadu waa isku dhafan yihiin. Diirada saaran bixinta isku xidhka fiilo-la'aanta degdega ah ee band 5GHz waa mid aad u cad waxayna keentay horumaro badan. Si kastaba ha noqotee, waxqabadka marka la isticmaalayo fiilooyinka shabakada waxay ka tagaysaa wax badan oo la rabo waxaana mudan ugu yaraan cusbooneysiinta firmware si loo hagaajiyo khibrada.

Tilmaamaha Qabow

Belkin AC 1000 DB waxay kuxirantahay dhowr astaamood oo aad ku raaxeysan doonto:

• Kantaroolka Waalidka ee ay ku shaqeyso Norton^{(Parental Control powered by Norton)} - Waan jeclaaday sifadan. Waxay u shaqeysaa si weyn waxayna aad waxtar u leedahay xannibaadda mareegaha. Waa nasiib darro in kastoo aadan u dejin karin si ay u xannibaan waxyaabo kala duwan qalabyada kala duwan. Waxaad dejin kartaa oo keliya xeerar caalami ah oo lagu dabaqo dhammaan aaladaha shabakadda.

Intellistream - waa suuqgeyn si muuqaal cusub ah. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay kaliya u muuqataa inay tahay qaab ka duwan in lagu magacaabo tayada ^(Quality)adeegga^(Service) caadiga ah ( Qos ). Waxa nasiib darro ah oo ku saabsan in habaynta otomaatiga ah aanu shaqaynayn gabi ahaanba. Waa inaad gacanta u dejisaa si uu u shaqeeyo. Tani waa in lagu hagaajiyaa cusboonaysiinta firmware mustaqbalka.

Xukun

Belkin AC 1000 DB Wi - DB Wi-Fi Dual-Band AC+ Gigabit router wuxuu bixiyaa waxqabad fiilo fiilo ah oo wanaagsan, gaar ahaan marka uu ku shaqeeyo inta jeer ee 5GHz. Waxay diiradda saaraysaa heerarka casriga casriga ah sida IEEE 802.11ac iyo IEEE 802.11n aad bay u caddahay. Haddii aad tahay nooca geek oo leh qalab cusub oo si fiican ula shaqeeya heerarka cusub ee wireless, markaa Belkin AC 1000 DB iyo walaalaheed qaali ah oo ka mid ah qoyska Belkin AC , waa in loo tixgeliyo beddelaadyo mudan.

Haddii aad qorshaynayso in aad ku xidho dhawr qalab oo xadhkaha isku xidha, waxa laga yaabaa inaadan ku faraxsanayn waxqabadkeeda.

Reviewing the Belkin AC 1000 DB Wi-Fi Dual-Band AC+ Gigabit Router

Have you noticed that many AC routers haνe been launched on the markеt in the last few months? What does AC stand for? Іt turns out it is the latest wireleѕs networking standard. It іs ѕupposed to be the successоr of the 802.11n standard and provide theoretіcal transfer speedѕ up to 500 Mbit/s. That'ѕ quite fаst for wireless but are these AC roυtеrs any good? To start answering the question, we testеd thе first AC router we could get оur handѕ on: the Belkin AC 1000 DB. Let's fіnd out what it offers, how it works and if it іs worth your money.

Hardware Specifications

What makes this Belkin router stand out is its support for the IEEE 802.11ac, a wireless computer networking standard, which is still in development. Currently, the latest version of the standard is Draft 4.0. Its approval is expected in late 2013. Other than that, it is a standard router with four LAN ports and two USB ports. It supports the Dynamic, Static, PPOE protocols for connecting to the Internet, it works both at 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies and offers WEP, WPA and WPA2 wireless security.

At least in theory, the router provides simultaneous dual-band speeds up to 965 Mbps (300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz frequency + 665 Mbps on 5 GHz). You can find its complete specifications on the official product page: AC 1000 DB Wi-Fi Dual-Band AC+ Gigabit Router.

Unboxing the Belkin AC 1000 DB

The packaging is pretty standard stuff: it looks good, it is easy to unbox and it contains what you would expect to find inside.

You will find the router itself, a short network cable, the power supply, a quick installation guide that doesn't go into much detail, a setup disc and a quick card with some preset settings.

Even though my picture taking skills are a letdown, I guess you can figure out by yourself that this is a pretty big router. It is heavier than others I have tested and it looks good. Also, the finishing is of better quality than with the previous family of Belkin routers.

Also, there are not many LEDs lighting up on it. Some of you will definitely appreciate that. I know I do. Devices nowadays simply have too many lights lit up all the time. 🙂

Router Setup

The initial router setup takes a short time to perform and few steps are involved. You are asked to select the country you're in, provide your ISP (Internet Service Provider) account details and that's it.

However, it doesn't mean your work ends there. There are quite a few additional steps you should do manually. First, you should change the password used to log into your router. By default the password is blank and this represents a security problem. Then, your wireless network settings are preconfigured with a set of default values, printed on the quick card found in the packaging. As shared by a few security researchers, this can represent another security issue. More details can be found here: Default WPA2 password on Belkin routers is easily worked out. You should change the network name (SSID) to something you easily recognize as your network and use a different password (security key).

The administration interface looks the same as in previous generations of Belkin routers. It is doesn't include too many advanced features but it easy to use, even if you are a novice.

At this point, I noticed an important difference versus previous Belkin models. It doesn't take as long to apply all your changes, no matter how small. Some settings require a complete restart of the router which takes about 80-90 seconds. That's a lot and in line with previous models. However, now there are quite a few changes that are minor and require only 8 to 10 seconds to get applied. A welcome improvement. I no longer had the feeling that customizing everything I need takes forever. I hope Belkin will continue to deliver improvements in this area.

Performance

I was keen to see how well this new router model performs. I test routers in my own apartment which is about 90 square meters (980 square feet) in size. First, I noticed that the signal on the 5GHz frequency fluctuates less than with other routers, including, the ASUS RT-N56U we reviewed here at 7 Tutorials. The difference isn't big but it is noticeable. If the ASUS RT-N56U was not able to deliver any signal in the very remote corners of the apartment, the Belkin AC 1000 DB was able to deliver some signal. The signal on the 2.4GHz frequency is not as strong. In contrast, it fluctuates more than with other routers I tested, including the ASUS RT-N56U. Since the 802.11ac standard works only at 5GHz, it is obvious why the Belkin engineers focused on improving the signal strength and stability for this frequency. Then, I copied some files over the network, using computers that were connected via cable. I noticed that the transfer speed was very stable, at approximately 88 MB/s (thanks to an SSD drive). Even though this was good, the maximum speed achieved was less than with other routers, which allowed transfers at 100 MB/s. I ran other tests and noticed that the wired connection was always slower than when using other routers. For example, transferring files over BitTorrent was possible only at a maximum of 3.8 MB/s instead of the 10 MB/s I achieved easily with other routers. Also, Speedtest.net revealed that my upload and download speeds were half than what I used to have with other routers: 38Mbps download speed instead of 70 Mbps and 21.51 Mpbs upload speed instead of 62Mbps. I wasn't happy by all means. Next, I transferred some large files when connected to the wireless network operating at 2.4GHz. The maximum speed achieved was 11.8MB/s when close to the router. In the remote corners of the apartment, the speed went down to 2.5 MB/s. A good result! Lastly, I transferred the same files when connected to the wireless network operating at 5GHz. The maximum speed achieved was 16 MB/s when near the router. In the most remote corners of the apartment, the speed went down to 1.8 MB/s. This is a very good result! When browsing the web, Speedtest.net did not reveal any meaningful difference between the two frequencies, at lest not when in close range to the router. Looking at the way Belkin AC 1000 DB performed, the results are mixed. The focus on providing fast wireless connectivity in the 5GHz band is very obvious and it has brought many improvements. However, the performance when using network cables leaves a lot to be desired and it is worth at least a firmware update to improve the experience.

Cool Features

The Belkin AC 1000 DB packs quite a few features you will enjoy:

• Parental Control powered by Norton - I loved this feature. It works great and it is very effective in blocking websites. It is unfortunate though you cannot set it to block different things for different devices. You can only set a global set of rules that are applied to all devices on the network.

Intellistream - is a marketed as a new feature. However, it only seems to be a different way to name the standard Quality of Service (Qos) feature. What's unfortunate about it is that the automated setup doesn't work at all. You have to set it manually in order for it to work. This should be fixed in a future firmware update.

Verdict

The Belkin AC 1000 DB Wi-Fi Dual-Band AC+ Gigabit router delivers good wireless performance, especially when operating at the 5GHz frequency. Its focus on modern wireless standards such as IEEE 802.11ac and IEEE 802.11n is very evident. If you are the kind of geek who has only new devices that work well with the new wireless standards, then Belkin AC 1000 DB and its more expensive brothers that are part of the Belkin AC family, should be considered worthy alternatives. However, be mindful of its downsides related to wired network connections. If you plan to connect quite a few devices with network cables, you might not be pleased with its performance.
