00:00:07,439 --> 00:00:15,440
welcome to my unboxing of a new router from lynus by Cisco this is the lynxis

2
00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:19,800
EA 2700 and apparently the packaging is shiny so slick wants me to get the

3
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:25,560
plastic off of it pretty quickly here which I'm struggling to do um the most

4
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:29,640
noteworthy thing about this guy is pretty self-explanatory once you look at

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,520
the packaging app enabled so we're going to go in to what this means a little bit

6
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:37,000
more as soon as we see this box right here app for iOS and Android devices to

7
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:44,960
manage your home network so basically what this means is this and its bigger

8
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:47,760
siblings the ea3500 and the

9
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:53,000
ea4500 are capable of being managed remotely using an app on your smartphone

10
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:56,800
or your tablet device so that means that if uh you know junior is working on a

11
00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:01,800
homework assignment and the babysitter calls and says blah blah blah the

12
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,120
internet um parental you know protection

13
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:09,640
turned off the internet and he still needs to do something for another half hour you can actually you know take you

14
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:14,200
know s sit aside at your dinner go like this and adjust the parental settings on

15
00:01:11,759 --> 00:01:16,840
your router from the table so uh you know make sure you know everyone's cool

16
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:22,479
with it before you go and whip out your cell phone and be like yeah don't worry guys I'm just you know changing my

17
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:26,520
router but uh as long as people don't find it rude then you can do it so it's

18
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:31,159
a Wi-Fi home base I think what they mean is wireless access point and router and

19
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:36,280
switch which is all the stuff that's in here dual band N600 router with gigabits

20
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:41,960
so wow gigabit ports even on the lower end stuff now and dual band and6 600

21
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:47,600
which means up to 300 plus 300 megabit per second speeds with 2.4 and 5 GHz

22
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:53,399
dual band capability so remember guys 5 GHz has lesser range than 2.4 GHz but

23
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,719
also significantly less interference because it's used a lot less extended

24
00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:02,159
range gigabit ports parental controls and easy setup easy setup really is a

25
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:07,119
selling point for these linky routers because if you guys have seen the

26
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,319
episode that we did on um I don't

27
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:13,480
remember what it was called but it's on my NC Tech tips channel it's like link

28
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:19,800
sis advantage or something like that we show how easy the setup process is um

29
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:24,560
and it yeah it's pretty compelling so if you are not a networking expert or more

30
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:28,080
importantly if you are a networking expert uh because you're watching this

31
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:32,239
channel so you probably know a thing or two but you're buying a router for

32
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:37,120
someone who is not a networking expert say for example you know your mom who

33
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:42,280
just got an iPad like my mom just got an iPad and you know now all of a sudden

34
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,959
she needs Wireless and you're like well

35
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:48,480
okay but you want to put in something that's simple enough that not only can

36
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:53,360
she use it but if she's having trouble using it all you got to do is whip out

37
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,800
the smartphone be like yeah I fixed it for you don't worry about it Mom I don't

38
00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:01,640
have to drive an hour to go to your house to fix it uh can you tell I've done this before

39
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:06,840
okay so here's the router unit itself it looks just like their last generation

40
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,239
products so pretty Sleek pretty simple

41
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:13,560
uh internal antenna not a big fan wish they had an external antenna uh we've

42
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:17,040
got a heat sink going on in there we got some other doohickeys going on in there

43
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,480
we got little feet that are going to give it a little bit of ventilation so you put it down holds it up a little bit

44
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,720
off the surface because you can see these are passive intakes and passive

45
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,879
exhaust all the way around the outside of the unit there's your reset button

46
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,959
right there and uh can these be like

47
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:35,879
popped out or something for like wall

48
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:40,519
mounting apparently not okay on the back of the unit we find

49
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:44,840
four gig uh gigabit Ethernet ports one internet port so that's the one that you

50
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:49,120
plug into your modem as well as a WPS button power indicator and a power plug

51
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:55,799
in terms of included accessories there's not a whole lot there's your power plug

52
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:58,879
as well as one Ethernet cable it is

53
00:03:55,799 --> 00:04:01,799
probably Cat 5 cat 5e rather and finally

54
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:04,959
in the a series CD start here run the CD first this is one of the few instances

55
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:08,920
where if you're not a networking Guru kind of guy um or you know you buy it

56
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:13,040
for someone and you don't want to walk them through every step of it you just

57
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,680
say put in the CD it'll walk you through it and they should be able to figure it

58
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,919
out no problem so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the EA

59
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:22,880
2700 dual band router which is app enabled don't forget to subscribe col's

60
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:26,880
Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos sorry guys we

61
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,919
actually missed a couple things so simultaneous dual band this is a

62
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,240
concurrent dual band and wireless end router uh so that is up to 300 plus 300

63
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,880
megabits per second you get the advantages of 5 GHz and the advantages

64
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:45,440
of 2.4 GHz with expanded coverage and reliability and it includes Advanced

65
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:49,880
security quality of service and finally it is IPv6 enabled
