00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:15.440
welcome to my unboxing of a new router from lynus by Cisco this is the lynxis

00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:19.800
EA 2700 and apparently the packaging is shiny so slick wants me to get the

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:25.560
plastic off of it pretty quickly here which I'm struggling to do um the most

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:29.640
noteworthy thing about this guy is pretty self-explanatory once you look at

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

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

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:44.960
manage your home network so basically what this means is this and its bigger

00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:47.760
siblings the ea3500 and the

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:53.000
ea4500 are capable of being managed remotely using an app on your smartphone

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

00:00:54.760 --> 00:01:01.800
homework assignment and the babysitter calls and says blah blah blah the

00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:03.120
internet um parental you know protection

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

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:14.200
know s sit aside at your dinner go like this and adjust the parental settings on

00:01:11.759 --> 00:01:16.840
your router from the table so uh you know make sure you know everyone's cool

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

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

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

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:36.280
switch which is all the stuff that's in here dual band N600 router with gigabits

00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:41.960
so wow gigabit ports even on the lower end stuff now and dual band and6 600

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

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:53.399
dual band capability so remember guys 5 GHz has lesser range than 2.4 GHz but

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:57.719
also significantly less interference because it's used a lot less extended

00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:02.159
range gigabit ports parental controls and easy setup easy setup really is a

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:07.119
selling point for these linky routers because if you guys have seen the

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.319
episode that we did on um I don't

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

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:19.800
sis advantage or something like that we show how easy the setup process is um

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

00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:28.080
importantly if you are a networking expert uh because you're watching this

00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:32.239
channel so you probably know a thing or two but you're buying a router for

00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:37.120
someone who is not a networking expert say for example you know your mom who

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

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:43.959
she needs Wireless and you're like well

00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:48.480
okay but you want to put in something that's simple enough that not only can

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

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

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

00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:06.840
okay so here's the router unit itself it looks just like their last generation

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:09.239
products so pretty Sleek pretty simple

00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:13.560
uh internal antenna not a big fan wish they had an external antenna uh we've

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

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

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:24.720
off the surface because you can see these are passive intakes and passive

00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:29.879
exhaust all the way around the outside of the unit there's your reset button

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:32.959
right there and uh can these be like

00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:35.879
popped out or something for like wall

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:40.519
mounting apparently not okay on the back of the unit we find

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.840
four gig uh gigabit Ethernet ports one internet port so that's the one that you

00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:49.120
plug into your modem as well as a WPS button power indicator and a power plug

00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:55.799
in terms of included accessories there's not a whole lot there's your power plug

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:58.879
as well as one Ethernet cable it is

00:03:55.799 --> 00:04:01.799
probably Cat 5 cat 5e rather and finally

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:22.880
2700 dual band router which is app enabled don't forget to subscribe col's

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.880
Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos sorry guys we

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:30.919
actually missed a couple things so simultaneous dual band this is a

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:35.240
concurrent dual band and wireless end router uh so that is up to 300 plus 300

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:40.880
megabits per second you get the advantages of 5 GHz and the advantages

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:45.440
of 2.4 GHz with expanded coverage and reliability and it includes Advanced

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:49.880
security quality of service and finally it is IPv6 enabled
