00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:07.040
welcome to lonus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:11.360
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:15.080
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:24.000
linkis we're here in the lynis suite where Matthew is going to be telling us

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:29.320
about the product refresh that they are bringing to the market this is pretty

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:34.160
much the the the first real generational move in Wireless since we went from G to

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:39.480
n is that correct that is absolutely correct so show us the the the Beast of

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:45.000
all beasts the ac750 sure so we actually have an ac750

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:48.239
in the market today but what we're doing with this refresh through the spring and

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:52.280
availability you'll be later in the spring is we're going to buffer it up

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

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.480
and the capabilities of our new AC routers through the spring as well are

00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:05.239
also going to have of the specification of AC which includes beam forming

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

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:13.560
explain it to me and the viewers okay sounds great I would say that beam

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

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.159
light bulb it would give you coverage throughout your entire home if you had

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:25.000
to turn on a flashlight it would give you directional coverage towards where

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:28.640
you're aiming it same idea with beam forming technology it's going to take

00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:32.520
the antenna configuration and it's going to send the Wi-Fi signal directly to

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

00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:41.159
a better experience so tell me two things number one is do the antennas

00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:45.479
have to physically move and number two is how does it know where your devices

00:01:43.399 --> 00:01:49.880
are so no the antennas are not going to move that's part of the specification

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.119
built into it and your second question was how does it know where the devices

00:01:51.320 --> 00:01:57.159
are it is going out looking for the devices pinging those devices once it's

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:00.039
established the connection beam forming starts to do its work and that's how

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

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

00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:14.640
right now these are all 3x3 antenna configuration routers on the AC side

00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:19.239
okay very cool so I mean something that our viewers may or may not have picked

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

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

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:34.280
speed with a network attached storage device that can be something as simple

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:35.879
as a plain old external usb3 hard drive

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

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:43.080
pretty expensive so maybe not every viewer can afford the super uber premium

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

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:50.319
between the two and it's pretty straightforward Linus and viewers

00:02:48.440 --> 00:02:55.280
obviously is that uh we're taking you from ac750 to

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

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

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

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:12.799
going to get pretty good 300 megabits per second speeds on 2.4 but still have

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:16.560
1300 megabits per second on the five the other difference that we'll notice here

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

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:23.879
but not that additional USB 2.0 Port

00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:28.280
okay so you still get to take advantage of the fast AC transfer speeds for your

00:03:26.519 --> 00:03:33.080
network attached storage but just you don't have that other auxiliary report

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:37.959
that is absolutely correct okay now this guy over here has like a green box and

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:42.120
sort of is smaller than the other ones what is the key difference between the

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

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

00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:54.920
entry level in our AC lineup 300 megabits per second on the 2.4 867 on

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

00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:02.959
combined speed so again it's just a little bit less speed on the AC Spectrum

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

00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:13.360
USB 3.0 Port 4 gig Land one gig Wan very

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:16.560
straightforward okay now here is here is

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:18.199
sort of the trick now AC is still not

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

00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:29.280
actually tested on uh on my YouTube channel I took a uh a USB you know

00:04:26.919 --> 00:04:34.280
unnamed you know competitor D say for example uh an unnamed USB stick that was

00:04:32.039 --> 00:04:38.520
ac200 and I put that up against a wireless

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:43.720
n450 uh not some other USB stick competitor T say for example um what we

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:48.800
discovered was that the 450 was actually dramatically faster than the AC USB

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

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:58.800
advantage of the speed um can you show us what you guys have to allow customers

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:00.240
to actually use the AC gigabit Wireless

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

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:09.240
ac750 skew into the marketplace in the

00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:14.280
spring of 20 or sorry the fall of 2012 is we launched the universal Media

00:05:11.320 --> 00:05:19.840
connector alongside it's a single band four port AC Media connector so for the

00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:22.960
customer that is buying any one of the spring routers coming up or the one

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

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:31.120
megabits per second wirelessly from router to Bridge and any one of those

00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:34.360
four devices that are plugged in so we looked at that as an opportunity to say

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

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

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:49.199
that one a little bit because I already knew that the Media connector just

00:05:45.960 --> 00:05:51.639
absolutely destroys both the n450 and

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

00:05:53.800 --> 00:06:00.120
something along the order of about four or five times faster than either of the

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

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:09.080
