are you filming yes okay
cool hold on a sec I'm going to open the door first with my
keys and welcome to the lus tech tip show where we are not going to be
unboxing four separate routers we are actually going to be doing one router
this one this is Western digital's
almost well no this is their Flagship router this is the minet N900 which is
apparently about effortless entertainment okay that's good that's
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
effortless entertainment I I'm putting effort into it already I have to open
the bag that's not effortless and I'm not entertained at all it's ridiculous
false advertising bait bait and switch bait and switch that's what customers
love to say bait and switch whenever something's wrong okay 450 plus 450
megabit dual B concurrent performance
which gives you that N900 rating HD dual band router okay got it this is the best
range out of their lineup features 1 two 3 easy setup full 1080P and it better 7
GB ports this is cool why hasn't anyone done this the home is so connected now
why does everyone make you like where did I put it I had a switch here why
does everyone make you buy there like switch separately and give you only four
ports on your router thank you Western Digital for providing an adequate number
of ports on your high performance router uh multid streams and the most important
thing about this router FastTrack Plus
so FasTrack plus is basically wd's
proprietary qos that's quality of service that dynamically analyzes the
traffic coming in and out of your router looks at it and goes okay
that traffic is sort of like shaped like this that's probably a game I'm going to
prioritize that over something else
that's less important like that's torrent traffic it actually does not
rely on any manual input from the user it does not rely on any profiles written
by WD to prioritize certain applications which is the case for the two lower end
routers the minet 600 and the 750 and it
also doesn't require any updates to continue to dynamically update itself to
provide the best quality of service it can without any input from the user
that's what they mean by effortless and it's not really effortless I mean I had
to take this thing out of the box and I have to peel the plastic off the
top it's like a job I mean this is my
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
access so you can connect ld's mybook live storage to this with up to two USB
ports One USB 3 Port cool um um for
remote access with their WD to go and WD Photos applications more control the
minet dashboard okay so this is just your their branding for controlling your
router more Simplicity supports UPnP and auto configuration good okay more HTS
FASTT track plus very good awesome more advanced features okay we've been
through this parental controls Auto sensing antenna amplifiers right so this one has the best range out of their
range of routers and you can see that
they have it positioned as being just like the uberis in every possible way so
they've all got push button WPS setup IPv6 they are all ready for it and this
one oh look it's it's a DNA server so you can actually use this as a media
server on your home network and uh well
access your media that you store on your WD hard drive that you attach to it
which is a convenient way for them to sell you more hard drives which I don't
inherently object to because it makes the product better so why not and it's
not like they're forcing you to you know it's not like they include a hard drive
with it and you know sell it to you for more like this one which we'll talk about
later okay uh right so let's have a look at the physicality of the unit there's
your power LED your wireless LED your internet LED your WPS LED and your WPS
button there's your matte finish on the top which has like more of a performance
pattern on it compared to the other ones which are just solid mat and there's
your shiny outline okay there's your power button DC in two USB ports 7 GB
Ethernet ports again Kudos WD way to go
way to figure out what no one else could that like you know 40 cents of extra
Ethernet ports might actually make a difference to your customers um there's
your Wan Port so that's your internet port there is oh it has a cooling fan
that better be quiet! uh I really hope that's only enabled like out of under
heavy load there's your reset switch and there's your ventilation holes so this
looks like an exhaust so as long as you have this down like this or wall mounted
it does come with flexible mounting options and you shouldn't have any uh
shouldn't have any trouble with that included accessories in include include
the inclusion of a technical support and limited warranty guide a start here
guide with simple steps for people who don't know how to set up a router I do
you
know power cable and an Ethernet cable
