Getting Started Cannon JCG Q9 1200M Smart Wireless Router Reviews

Once upon a time, dual-band routers were considered expensive, usually costing over 300 yuan. However, times have changed, and now even budget-friendly dual-band routers are becoming more common. Today, we’re taking a look at the JCG Q9, an entry-level smart wireless router from a veteran in the wireless networking equipment industry. This 1200M dual-band router is priced at just 139 yuan, which is incredibly affordable—especially when compared to the 150M or 300M single-band routers that used to cost similar prices. Let’s dive into what this router has to offer. [Image: Router front view] The router features a sleek, all-white design with rounded corners. In the center, there's a silver JCG logo, and below it, a blue power indicator light. The back of the device is covered with cooling vents, and each corner has a screw for easy mounting. The middle part includes a product label with key details like the model number, Wi-Fi frequency, initial password, and MAC address. [Image: Router back view] Despite its slightly thick build, the router has a low-to-high design that gives it a slim and modern appearance. From the side, you can see a slight gradient, with higher rear sections and cooling holes on both sides to help dissipate heat effectively. [Image: Router side view] The router’s rear panel includes a power switch, power input, one WAN port, three LAN ports, and a RESET button. It comes with four 5dBi high-gain antennas, which are integrated and cannot be replaced. However, their interface is tight, making them easy to adjust without loosening over time. [Image: Router rear view] Each antenna can be rotated 180 degrees forward/backward and 90 degrees up/down. Depending on your setup, you can place them flat or vertically. For example, home users often lay them flat, while office setups might prefer wall-mounted positions. [Image: Antenna adjustment] A blue LED light is located beneath the front of the router, blinking steadily during normal operation. The router is also energy-efficient, consuming only about 3W, so it won’t significantly increase your electricity bill even after 24/7 use. [Image: Blue LED light] After a day of testing in a room with a temperature of around 30°C, the router remained cool. The sides measured about 32°C, the middle reached 34°C, and the top was as high as 39°C. Overall, the temperature was acceptable, and high temperatures are known to cause instability in routers. [Image: Temperature test] In terms of software, the JCG Q9 offers a user-friendly 9-grid interface with settings for network configuration, Wi-Fi bands, signal management, QoS control, traffic monitoring, and more. You can set up guest networks, enable WiFi relay, clone MAC addresses, and even filter unwanted websites or content. [Image: Software interface] The wireless settings allow you to customize the network name, channel, and password. Features like WiFi enhanced mode and anti-jamming mode improve signal strength and reduce interference. Additionally, the intelligent frequency conversion function adjusts bandwidth based on client signal strength. [Image: Wireless settings] Signal management lets you turn off the Wi-Fi periodically or reduce transmission frequency if needed, especially in homes with elderly members or pregnant women. The QoS speed limit feature helps manage bandwidth usage across devices, ensuring smooth performance for gaming, streaming, and other tasks. [Image: Signal management] During testing, I had four devices connected: a desktop, two phones, and a TV box. With QoS enabled, the phones and TV box were speed-limited, allowing me to play CS:GO with a delay of just 12ms. For FPS games, where latency is critical, this performance was more than sufficient. [Image: QoS settings] Traffic monitoring provides a visual breakdown of data usage, helping you identify heavy users and apply speed limits accordingly. System management allows for manual restarts, firmware updates, and factory resets. Advanced security settings include IP, MAC, and URL filtering, offering a safer online environment for families with children. [Image: Traffic monitoring] For performance testing, I placed the router in my study and tested signal strength in different areas of the house. Using "The Glory of the King" (Honor of Kings), I measured latency and download speeds in various locations. Even with walls and furniture blocking the signal, the router performed remarkably well, especially on the 2.4GHz band. [Image: Game test results] In the living room, which was about 7 meters away with two walls between the router and the test point, the 5G signal still provided decent performance, though the 2.4GHz band was more stable. Overall, the router delivered consistent and reliable connectivity, proving its worth in real-life scenarios. [Image: Living room test] In conclusion, the JCG Q9 is a solid choice for those looking for an affordable yet powerful dual-band router. Its sleek design, intuitive software, and strong performance make it a great option for households with multiple devices. At just 139 yuan, it's hard to find a better value in the current market. If you're looking to upgrade your home network, the JCG Q9 is definitely worth considering.
