Review on ๐Ÿ“ถ White Keenetic Hopper WiFi Router (KN-3810) by Athit Lordkaew แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

I decided to upgrade my home network to Wi-Fi 6. For many years I used Mikrotiks, which I set up and forgot, but itโ€™s still a quest to set them up) Friends of the networkers advised Keenetic, because the same power as Mikrotik, but the interface is very clear and everything you need for home features in plain sight. As a result, it turned out that Keenetic for the home is 100 times better than Mikrotik. I used all sorts, but such a cool router for the first time.

Pros
  • - The signal is stronger than that of 3 (three!) hap ac2 Mikrotiks. Previously, there was a mesh network of them at home, but now it is not needed and the speed is even higher! - Gives out over the air honest 500 Mbit as on a wire from a provider in any part of the apartment. - It's very easy to set up a VPN for your entire home network, instead of fiddling with each device individually. - You can group devices and set policies for groups for as long as your imagination is enough. I scattered by priorities, visibility for each other by ACL and different VPN connections for different groups: I divided TVs, smartphones, IoT, etc. - It's very cool that there are backup communication channels not only by wire, but also by Wi-Fi. Previously, if the provider failed, you had to plug the cable into Mikrotik, but now itโ€™s enough to share Wi-Fi from your phone. In general, connection priorities are done gorgeously, seamlessly, itโ€™s impossible to feel the gap, you can only see it in the logs) - Expandability! Through USB, you can not only connect drives to download torrents and watch movies on your home network, but also install Linux Entware. And there is generally anything to do! For example, there is a cool way to bypass "you-know-what" using the BGP protocol and the bird2 utility. - Best security and home control support I've seen. There are built-in alternative Amazon services for children, many protections for every taste, schedules, statistics, ACLs. - The best mobile app! You can manage all the router even without being in your home network. - In other reviews they wrote that it is heated. I don't get hot under any load.
Cons
  • - Not. This is perfection itself.
