so today guys I have a bit of a project and that is the unboxing of what may be
the lightest box that I have unboxed
today this is the lynus AE 2500 dualband
Wireless N USB adapter so what is dualband good for that is a question
that I have actually never been asked um
in any way shape or form but I'm going to answer it anyway because that is a
question that I actually had at one point in time before I knew what dual
band was good for so dual band can mean a couple of different things so there's
dual band which means 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
this router or adapter sort of you know one or the other can operate either on
this higher frequency or on this lower frequency and that is to get away from
interference of other devices that operate on those frequencies such as say
for example in the case of 2.4 gigahertz cordless phones for example that's an
example for you but there's also concurrent dual
band concurrent dual band allows you to use both of those frequencies at the
same time in order to transfer more data so this isn't concurrent dual band this
is dual band so 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz dual
band 300 megabit per second so that is
how many lanes of data transfer there are on a given band not that you're
actually using more bands okay and then
we've got Superior range Advanced security and easy setup so easy setup is
something I've pretty much come to expect from Cisco linkis products at
this time uh we did set up their range extender a little while ago and that was
very easy this one comes with a wireless adapter setup CD you know what I'm going
to go ahead and I'm going to say don't throw this away especially if you're not
an advanced user this is actually pretty handy and does make setting up the
device very very simple so you're still
going to want to grab the latest drivers from the linkis website but um just for
the for the initial setup this is not a bad way to go so
this is the ae2500 which
includes run CD first a
warning and an
adapter and it's a USB network
adapter made by lynis and or Cisco
depending on how you prefer to look at it you you know what I don't know what
else to tell you guys here because it is
a USB wireless adapter and it is aha maybe we'll talk
about this hold on where are they I'm sure I have them somewhere wait for it
come with me come with me if you want to ah here we go
aha it is designed in a matching
style to go with and match your other
link Cy by Cisco routers and products
that are wireless and look good with them and have a similar finish so over
here see check this out see how we have a similar finish on our USB adapter as
we have on our Cisco
router so this is the e4200 which is
their high-end dualband 450 megabit router this is not uh this is not 450
megabit but it is dual band but if I recall correctly that guy is concurrent
so hold on a second nope just dual band not
concurrent yeah simultaneous okay so yeah that one is concurrent this one is
not concurrent thank you for checking out my unboxing of the AE 2500 don't
