What other uses does a wireless router have besides WiFi access?

Wireless routers have entered thousands of households with the rise of mobile Internet. When we use wireless Internet at home, we rarely pay attention to the wireless router itself. Especially for ordinary home users, they don’t know much about wireless networks. Most of them hold the mentality of "it’s OK to be able to access the Internet", and do not make full use of the functions of wireless routers. Some very practical functions are quietly "lying" in the background settings. With simple adjustments, we can optimize our actual Internet experience.

Remote download via external mobile storage device

Nowadays, many wireless routers are equipped with USB ports that can be connected to external mobile storage devices. Most of these wireless routers can use the remote download function. Using the Thunder remote download function is very simple. First, get the verification code on the Thunder download page of the router, and then bind the router on the Thunder remote download page on the WEB side. Then, just like using Thunder, create a new task in the upper left corner, copy the resource link into it, or upload a seed, and the wireless router can download the resource to the mobile storage device, saving the time of downloading at home.

Wireless router with built-in security module

In addition, network security is receiving more and more attention from people. Many wireless routers have built-in security protection functions to protect users' home network security from the Internet entrance. By turning on the security protection function in the router background, the router can automatically perform intelligent identification of URLs to deeply protect Internet security. Through the built-in security vendor's module, network activity analysis is performed. When users are surfing the Internet, the router will intelligently block malicious URLs, counterfeit URLs and fraudulent URLs. It also has anti-virus functions to protect users' network security in real time.

Enable QoS

***, we are going to introduce the QoS function that directly solves the problem of "grabbing network speed". The QoS function, also known as the traffic control function, can limit the network speed for a certain device or an application. When there are multiple devices in our home accessing the Internet, different network behaviors will overwhelm the bandwidth at home. Through the QoS function of the wireless router, users can limit the speed of devices that often use Thunder to download and watch high-definition videos online. In this way, other devices in the home will not cause their own Internet access to be stuck because the above two Internet behaviors occupy too much bandwidth. Most devices support intelligent control, and users only need to turn on this function to have a smooth network experience.
