Millet router fateful antenna door again wave

A few days ago, on the Internet, a man named @Lianxiaofei published an article on six domestic smart router evaluations. The evaluation results showed that Xiaomi's router mini and Xiaomi's routers had the lowest rate of wall penetration and the worst signal strength. This incident did not last a few days, @ Lu chubby studio broke the news today that millet router Mini's antenna is iron, suddenly caused extreme concern millet official.

The antenna made of iron was put first, because just a few days ago, Xiaomi's router was still stuck in the door of plagiarism. The process of the incident was as follows: On Dec. 31 last year, a company that had collaborated with Lenovo in the smart routing field issued a Weibo article stating that Xiaomi was suspected of copying its own router design.

The original is as follows:

Last year, it was known as the first year of smart routers. There were a lot of startups and giants coming together. But as far as I know, Xiaomi did not go well with smart routers. First of all, the 799 yuan router with a hard disk over-hyped, found that there is a big gap between the acceptance of the mass market, and can not sell, so it is not robbed now, with the purchase. The millet has always been reinvented to make a low-end product, and it has set its sights on the newifi new route that we are offering in the same factory.

The article stated that Xiaomi’s smart router mini was suspected of copying newifi new routes. “Even millet mini even made use of our cut-out version of the hardware solution. It may be because of internal communication problems. They also made a paranormal joke at the press conference. The 100m wired error is said to be gigabit cable."

After the publication of this article, it caused a sensation in the industry, because before Xiaomi released the air purifier, there was also an incident of suspected plagiarism. Afterwards, Xiaomi's router general manager @ Tang Muthomas published a microblog on January 7th, claiming that during this period, the naval forces attacked Xiaomi on the Internet, and attributed the reason to “mini sales, anxious business friends”.

Closer to home, the plagiarism door has not ended the antenna door yet. Antenna gate causes We have already said before, the road chubby studio to disassemble the millet mini to prove the authenticity of the evaluation, think that the spring part of the millet router mini antenna is iron, which is the reason that the millet routers pass the wall weak signal.

The millet router then issued an official response to the incident, saying that the millet router Mini uses a zinc alloy antenna, not iron, and the spiral structure is nickel-plated to prevent oxidation and the color is silver. The statement that millet gave the raw material monitoring results proves that the main material of the spring part is carbon steel. Then the question is, what is carbon steel?

Someone found in Wikipedia that carbon steel is iron-carbon alloy. Of course, some people also questioned whether they should take magnets to measure whether they have magnetic properties or whether magnetism is iron. I think this kind of test is not what we should do, leaving the way to chubby fat and Xiaomi to be better.
