(Because wireless routers are widely used at present, only wireless routers are analyzed here. )
1, speed difference.
Wireless routers follow the 802. 1 1 protocol group.
802. 1 1 protocol group has multiple versions, including 802.1,802. 1 1 a, 802.438+01b ...
There is also 802. 1 1ac, and the maximum bandwidth can reach 1Gb.
The wireless transmission speed ranges from 25MB to 1GB.
At present, the commonly used wireless router speeds are 150MB, 300MB, 600MB, 1GB.
The price varies greatly.
2. The difference between brand and stability.
Good brands are more expensive, but more stable.
If it is an enterprise router, the work will be more stable and the price will naturally go up.
3. Functional differences.
According to the functional classification, wireless routers can be divided into: intelligent routers and ordinary wireless routers.
Intelligent routers are high-end in hardware configuration and have high hardware cost.
Some intelligent routers also have their own mechanical hard disks. For example, Xiaomi router comes with 1TB hard disk.
Intelligent router can install plug-ins to realize custom functions, and can be used as the intelligent control center of the family.
The hardware and software cost of intelligent router is high, and its price often increases exponentially.
Ordinary wireless routers also have some differences in functions. Some routers can adjust the wireless transmission power.
Some have real relay functions. So the price is slightly different.
To sum up, the price difference between ordinary wireless router and 802.6438+0 1AC intelligent router with mechanical hard disk is about 600 yuan.
If you compare the price with the enterprise wireless router, the gap will be even greater.
