家里Wi-Fi信号差可能是路由器惹的祸

For these tests, The Wirecutter used two routers: its top 802.11ac router recommendation,TP-Link’s Archer C7, and an older 802.11n router, Netgear’s WNDR3700. It tried them with a2012 iPhone 5, a 2014 iPhone 6 Plus, a 2013 HTC One M7, a 2015 Samsung Galaxy S6, a 2012MacBook Air and a 2014 MacBook Air.

The Wirecutter在这些测试中使用了两款路由器：该网站最为推荐的802.11ac标准路由器TP-Link的ArcherC7，和一款更老一些的802.11n标准路由器Netgear的WNDR3700。用以测试这两款路由器的设备包括：一部2012年的iPhone 5手机、2014年的iPhone 6 Plus手机、2013年的HTC One M7手机、2015年的三星Galaxy S6、2012年的MacBook Air笔记本，和一台2014年的MacBook Air。

To get an idea how each device performed with each router, The Wirecutter’s Wi-Fi expert,David Murphy, tested file transfer speeds, video streaming speeds, music streaming qualityand video call quality at a short range of 11 feet and a long range of 43 feet.

为了解每台设备在适配每款路由器的情况下的网络表现，The Wirecutter的Wi-Fi专家戴维·墨菲(DavidMurphy)，在11英尺(约合3.4米)的近距离和43英尺的远距离下，分别测试了文件传输速度、视频流媒体速度、音频流媒体质量和视频通话质量等项目。

Most tested devices had 19 percent to 54 percent faster download speeds and shaved 3 to 48percent off their file-transfer times when paired with the Archer C7 compared with the older802.11n Netgear router. The devices also did better on the Archer C7’s 5 GHz Wi-Fi networkthan on its 2.4GHz network at the same locations. In comparison, The Wirecutter could notconnect to the Netgear router’s 5 GHz Wi-Fi at its long-distance test location.
