360 T7, which may be the strongest Wi-Fi 6 wireless router in the 100-yuan level in 2022-2023, with a theoretical speed of up to 3000Mbps (2.4GHz: 574Mbps + 5Ghz: 2402Mbps), and supports 160Mhz bandwidth. For disassembly and performance evaluation, please refer to ” Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Router 360T7 Disassembly, Another MT7981 “.
The hardware workmanship of the 360 T7 is only average, not as good as routers with similar configurations: China Unicom’s customized Xiaomi router WR30U and Redmi AX6S, but the modified version of the 360 T7 is much cheaper than the latter two.
#Router configuration: CPU: MediaTek MT7981BA @1.3GHz (Dual Core) Filogic 820 Flash: 128MB RAM: 256MB (can be changed to 512MB by magic) WLAN: MediaTek MT7981BA/MT7976CN (RFIC/FEM) 2.4/5GHz, support 802.11 k/v/r Ethernet: MediaTek MT7531A 1000M*4
The 360 T7 is a customized version for telecom operators, and there is no retail version. On e-commerce companies such as Pinduoduo, you can get the original version at a price of 120-130 yuan after coupons. But it is not recommended to buy the original version. If you want to flash the OpenWrt firmware, you need to disassemble the router shell, use a USB-to-TTL module to connect the router motherboard and computer, and use telnet to flash into uboot. For beginners, it is too difficult. If you are interested, you can refer to ” 360 T7 flashing openwrt tutorial ” article.
I personally suggest that it is better to add another 50 yuan to buy the modified 360 T7 on the Xianyu APP-the seller not only upgrades the hardware to 512M memory, but also installs additional heat sinks on the CPU, RF chip, and Gigabit network card modules. , and flash the OpenWrt firmware into the router, it can be used after receiving the goods. In April and May of this year, I bought two magic modified 360 T7 wireless routers at a price of 189 yuan and 169 yuan respectively, to replace the main routers in my home and my parents’ home.
