1
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:13,799
are you filming yes okay

2
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:19,560
cool hold on a sec I'm going to open the door first with my

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:24,279
keys and welcome to the lus tech tip show where we are not going to be

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:32,160
unboxing four separate routers we are actually going to be doing one router

5
00:00:28,119 --> 00:00:34,680
this one this is Western digital's

6
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:40,039
almost well no this is their Flagship router this is the minet N900 which is

7
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,399
apparently about effortless entertainment okay that's good that's

8
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:49,239
good I know what they mean by that and I will explain but it's a very cryptic thing to put on the front of the Box

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,079
effortless entertainment I I'm putting effort into it already I have to open

10
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:57,920
the bag that's not effortless and I'm not entertained at all it's ridiculous

11
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,920
false advertising bait bait and switch bait and switch that's what customers

12
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:07,799
love to say bait and switch whenever something's wrong okay 450 plus 450

13
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:10,520
megabit dual B concurrent performance

14
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:15,000
which gives you that N900 rating HD dual band router okay got it this is the best

15
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:21,960
range out of their lineup features 1 two 3 easy setup full 1080P and it better 7

16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:26,680
GB ports this is cool why hasn't anyone done this the home is so connected now

17
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,479
why does everyone make you like where did I put it I had a switch here why

18
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,360
does everyone make you buy there like switch separately and give you only four

19
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:38,520
ports on your router thank you Western Digital for providing an adequate number

20
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:44,920
of ports on your high performance router uh multid streams and the most important

21
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:48,200
thing about this router FastTrack Plus

22
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,520
so FasTrack plus is basically wd's

23
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:57,320
proprietary qos that's quality of service that dynamically analyzes the

24
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:02,759
traffic coming in and out of your router looks at it and goes okay

25
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:08,399
that traffic is sort of like shaped like this that's probably a game I'm going to

26
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,800
prioritize that over something else

27
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:15,000
that's less important like that's torrent traffic it actually does not

28
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:20,599
rely on any manual input from the user it does not rely on any profiles written

29
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:26,440
by WD to prioritize certain applications which is the case for the two lower end

30
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:28,840
routers the minet 600 and the 750 and it

31
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:34,480
also doesn't require any updates to continue to dynamically update itself to

32
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,440
provide the best quality of service it can without any input from the user

33
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,200
that's what they mean by effortless and it's not really effortless I mean I had

34
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:48,640
to take this thing out of the box and I have to peel the plastic off the

35
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:50,200
top it's like a job I mean this is my

36
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:55,360
job but you know whatever you guys get the point okay so let's have a look at what WD has to say for themselves more

37
00:02:53,519 --> 00:03:01,040
access so you can connect ld's mybook live storage to this with up to two USB

38
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:03,280
ports One USB 3 Port cool um um for

39
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,200
remote access with their WD to go and WD Photos applications more control the

40
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:12,000
minet dashboard okay so this is just your their branding for controlling your

41
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:17,480
router more Simplicity supports UPnP and auto configuration good okay more HTS

42
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:20,000
FASTT track plus very good awesome more advanced features okay we've been

43
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:27,000
through this parental controls Auto sensing antenna amplifiers right so this one has the best range out of their

44
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,879
range of routers and you can see that

45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,680
they have it positioned as being just like the uberis in every possible way so

46
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:37,280
they've all got push button WPS setup IPv6 they are all ready for it and this

47
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:41,879
one oh look it's it's a DNA server so you can actually use this as a media

48
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:44,200
server on your home network and uh well

49
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:47,439
access your media that you store on your WD hard drive that you attach to it

50
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:51,519
which is a convenient way for them to sell you more hard drives which I don't

51
00:03:49,239 --> 00:03:55,599
inherently object to because it makes the product better so why not and it's

52
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,439
not like they're forcing you to you know it's not like they include a hard drive

53
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:04,720
with it and you know sell it to you for more like this one which we'll talk about

54
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,280
later okay uh right so let's have a look at the physicality of the unit there's

55
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:13,400
your power LED your wireless LED your internet LED your WPS LED and your WPS

56
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,079
button there's your matte finish on the top which has like more of a performance

57
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:20,840
pattern on it compared to the other ones which are just solid mat and there's

58
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:28,759
your shiny outline okay there's your power button DC in two USB ports 7 GB

59
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,720
Ethernet ports again Kudos WD way to go

60
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:34,919
way to figure out what no one else could that like you know 40 cents of extra

61
00:04:33,479 --> 00:04:39,120
Ethernet ports might actually make a difference to your customers um there's

62
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:43,520
your Wan Port so that's your internet port there is oh it has a cooling fan

63
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:47,800
that better be quiet! uh I really hope that's only enabled like out of under

64
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,199
heavy load there's your reset switch and there's your ventilation holes so this

65
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,039
looks like an exhaust so as long as you have this down like this or wall mounted

66
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,479
it does come with flexible mounting options and you shouldn't have any uh

67
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,320
shouldn't have any trouble with that included accessories in include include

68
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,160
the inclusion of a technical support and limited warranty guide a start here

69
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:12,639
guide with simple steps for people who don't know how to set up a router I do

70
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:12,639
you

71
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:19,520
know power cable and an Ethernet cable

72
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:23,080
