WPS / RESET combo button, click to start WPS encryption service, long press Reset reset function.

Fourth, the system interface

After connecting the power supply and network cable, Kukai Smart Wireless Router is started. At this time, we use a computer or mobile phone and other devices to connect to the router's Wi-Fi, enter the 192.168.1.1 Web site, you can open the router to open passwords and other various settings, these are similar to the settings of ordinary routers.





The setup page uses graphical settings to view the current router's working status, storage capacity, and current device connection. The interface is concise and there is no difficulty setting for any user.





Kukai Smart Wireless Router supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-frequency concurrency, can be used to individually turn off unused channels, you can also individually set the SSID, encryption method, and wireless key of each frequency band, and has three modes for users to choose, through the wall, Standard and energy-saving, adapt to the use of various families.





Kukai Smart Wireless Router also supports the intelligent QoS speed limit function. It can automatically perform broadband control according to the current network traffic conditions, and can also allocate the available bandwidth to the devices in the LAN separately, to avoid network congestion due to BT download and network video.





In addition, if you have a cool TV in your home, the TV can also automatically connect to cool open smart routers, no need to search for options and enter passwords. At present, the K1 and U2 series support this function and follow-up will be adapted to other cool boot types.

Fifth, the APP function Kukai smart wireless router since it is a smart routing, naturally supports the use of APP to expand. We scanned the QR code to download “Cool Open Routing APP” and started using it. PS, currently only the Android version.

Seventh, signal test Cool open intelligent wireless router SWR100K round surface, there is no external antenna, but in fact built four high-sensitivity omnidirectional antenna. So what's the signal strength and is it strong enough? In this test, we compared the signal strength with a three-antenna wireless router.









The signal strength test We first test at the router, both signals are equally strong (2.4 GHz signals are selected).





Then we went to the downstairs, separated by a floor, the signal has obvious attenuation, the signal has jumped from green to yellow, and the measured result is that the signal of the comparison route is stronger than the route of the Cool Open route. The two are similar.







Then go downstairs, we test every two floors, the result is that the contrast device has lost WIFI signal, and cool open wireless smart router still has signal.







From the above results, it can be seen that the built-in antenna signal of the Cool Wireless Smart Router SWR100K is very strong, which is comparable to a router with an external antenna, and can even receive signals on two floors.

Signal stability test

The following is the signal stability test, we use the professional software WirelessMon to test, by downloading large files, recording signal changes over time.









From the above two graphs, we can see that the signal curve is very smooth, with minimal fluctuations. The test results show that the signal of the Cool Wireless Smart Routing SWR100K is very stable.

Sixth, evaluation summary Cool open smart wireless router SWR100K exterior design has its own characteristics, signal strength and coverage performance is not bad, but also supports the development of storage, file sharing, plug-in function is also very practical, you can through the cool open route APP mini TV Send function into major video sites to watch or download videos offline. I believe that the subsequent firmware upgrades and plug-ins will add more powerful features to the user.





As the first intelligent router product of Coolo, the function of Coolopen SWR100K is very basic but has its own characteristics.
