00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:07,040
welcome to lonus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:11,360
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:15,080
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:24,000
linkis we're here in the lynis suite where Matthew is going to be telling us

5
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:29,320
about the product refresh that they are bringing to the market this is pretty

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:34,160
much the the the first real generational move in Wireless since we went from G to

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:39,480
n is that correct that is absolutely correct so show us the the the Beast of

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:45,000
all beasts the ac750 sure so we actually have an ac750

9
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,239
in the market today but what we're doing with this refresh through the spring and

10
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:52,280
availability you'll be later in the spring is we're going to buffer it up

11
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:57,719
and take a little bit more uh Power behind this and give you a USB 3.0 port

12
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,480
and the capabilities of our new AC routers through the spring as well are

13
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:05,239
also going to have of the specification of AC which includes beam forming

14
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:09,240
technology are you I'm assuming you know what beam forming is lus why don't you

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:13,560
explain it to me and the viewers okay sounds great I would say that beam

16
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:17,920
forming is going to take uh let's use the light bulb analogy if you turn on a

17
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:21,159
light bulb it would give you coverage throughout your entire home if you had

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,000
to turn on a flashlight it would give you directional coverage towards where

19
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:28,640
you're aiming it same idea with beam forming technology it's going to take

20
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,520
the antenna configuration and it's going to send the Wi-Fi signal directly to

21
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,360
those devices throughout the home so obviously you're going to get faster transfer rates and you're going to have

22
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,159
a better experience so tell me two things number one is do the antennas

23
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:45,479
have to physically move and number two is how does it know where your devices

24
00:01:43,399 --> 00:01:49,880
are so no the antennas are not going to move that's part of the specification

25
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:53,119
built into it and your second question was how does it know where the devices

26
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,159
are it is going out looking for the devices pinging those devices once it's

27
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:00,039
established the connection beam forming starts to do its work and that's how

28
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:04,799
you're going to see the benefit so it's going to have to have multiple antennas if it's going to have any idea where

29
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,399
something is located is that correct correct and these all three of our routers that you see in front of you

30
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:14,640
right now these are all 3x3 antenna configuration routers on the AC side

31
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:19,239
okay very cool so I mean something that our viewers may or may not have picked

32
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:23,280
up from that is USB 3 is not only going to you know look blue and sexy on the

33
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:28,920
back of the router but what it's also going to do is it's going to allow you to take advantage of that AC transfer

34
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:34,280
speed with a network attached storage device that can be something as simple

35
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:35,879
as a plain old external usb3 hard drive

36
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,319
so let's go ahead and put this one down because this is probably going to be

37
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:43,080
pretty expensive so maybe not every viewer can afford the super uber premium

38
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:46,560
one so why don't you tell us about the ac600 sure so the the biggest difference

39
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,319
between the two and it's pretty straightforward Linus and viewers

40
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:55,280
obviously is that uh we're taking you from ac750 to

41
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:59,200
ac600 so what we're doing is we're still going to give you the great speeds on

42
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:03,560
the 5 gig Spectrum at 1300 megabits per second but but on 2.4 instead of 450

43
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:07,440
megabits per second we're going to take you down to 300 so again you're still

44
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:12,799
going to get pretty good 300 megabits per second speeds on 2.4 but still have

45
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:16,560
1300 megabits per second on the five the other difference that we'll notice here

46
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:22,200
we've also taken one of the USB ports away so we're going to give you USB 3.0

47
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,879
but not that additional USB 2.0 Port

48
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:28,280
okay so you still get to take advantage of the fast AC transfer speeds for your

49
00:03:26,519 --> 00:03:33,080
network attached storage but just you don't have that other auxiliary report

50
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:37,959
that is absolutely correct okay now this guy over here has like a green box and

51
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:42,120
sort of is smaller than the other ones what is the key difference between the

52
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,799
ea6300 and the other two that we just looked at sure so again we're going to

53
00:03:43,799 --> 00:03:50,000
go back and look at the speed and what this is going to do for you this is the

54
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:54,920
entry level in our AC lineup 300 megabits per second on the 2.4 867 on

55
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,200
the 5 GHz Spectrum so when you put it together you're upwards to ac200 as a

56
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:02,959
combined speed so again it's just a little bit less speed on the AC Spectrum

57
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:10,319
but if you need more you easily take yourself up the line and choose the right product for you again on the back

58
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:13,360
USB 3.0 Port 4 gig Land one gig Wan very

59
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:16,560
straightforward okay now here is here is

60
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,199
sort of the trick now AC is still not

61
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:24,360
that prevalent out there so we're going to move actually sorry diesel we're going to move this way a little bit so I

62
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:29,280
actually tested on uh on my YouTube channel I took a uh a USB you know

63
00:04:26,919 --> 00:04:34,280
unnamed you know competitor D say for example uh an unnamed USB stick that was

64
00:04:32,039 --> 00:04:38,520
ac200 and I put that up against a wireless

65
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:43,720
n450 uh not some other USB stick competitor T say for example um what we

66
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:48,800
discovered was that the 450 was actually dramatically faster than the AC USB

67
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,919
stick so if the USB sticks aren't there yet and they're not ready to take

68
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:58,800
advantage of the speed um can you show us what you guys have to allow customers

69
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,240
to actually use the AC gigabit Wireless

70
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:06,960
yeah it it's absolutely a great point lineus and you hit it right on the head so what we did when we launched our

71
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,240
ac750 skew into the marketplace in the

72
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:14,280
spring of 20 or sorry the fall of 2012 is we launched the universal Media

73
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:19,840
connector alongside it's a single band four port AC Media connector so for the

74
00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:22,960
customer that is buying any one of the spring routers coming up or the one

75
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:27,240
that's currently in Market you're now going to be able to transfer up to 1300

76
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,120
megabits per second wirelessly from router to Bridge and any one of those

77
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,360
four devices that are plugged in so we looked at that as an opportunity to say

78
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:40,080
let's bring not only the router to Market but let's give him a corresponding Media connector to do the

79
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:43,360
job that we know AC can do so I mean that was a bit of a I I led him on on

80
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:49,199
that one a little bit because I already knew that the Media connector just

81
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:51,639
absolutely destroys both the n450 and

82
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:55,560
the USB AC stick and we we actually tested one of those as well so it was

83
00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:00,120
something along the order of about four or five times faster than either of the

84
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:04,840
other Solutions so uh I think think that pretty much wraps it up for our CES 2013

85
