00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:14,280
welcome to my unboxing of a router that I'm actually surprisingly excited about

2
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,400
this is the dlink d505 it's an all-in-one mobile companion which I

3
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:22,519
think they mean to say is mini router great for traveling and it sure is

4
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:26,960
transforms any internet connection into a Wi-Fi hotspot so you know what let's

5
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:32,920
let's start by getting it opened up but this thing is extremely cool so it's the

6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:37,520
size of like I don't know the size of a wall wart

7
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,840
basically and it will provide you with

8
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,320
check this out so it turns your uh your W

9
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:48,600
connection into a hotspot that you can connect up to 50 devices to it also has

10
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:53,960
a bunch of other cool features so let's start with hold on hold on okay let's

11
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:56,320
start with the sexy ribbon cable

12
00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:00,199
Ethernet cable that comes with it very very nice love to see that you can

13
00:00:57,879 --> 00:01:04,640
bundle that up nice and small and pack it with you wherever you go you've also

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:11,200
got links to the mobile apps and the mobile app that's included is like just

15
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:14,080
killer actually so here okay we got this

16
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:17,400
we got this we got oh little card that conveniently tells you all the default

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,079
information about it which will be handy because you'll be sort of moving around

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,119
with it and you won't necessarily have your instruction manual handy that we

19
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,479
don't need so let's have a look at what dlink has to say for themselves and why

20
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:32,360
I'm all like stoked on this router at this point so features multiple

21
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:37,040
operation modes so it can either be a router access point or it can be a

22
00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:46,320
repeater or it can be a repeater or a Wi-Fi um network extender very cool okay

23
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,960
802.11n so yes it's Wireless N mod

24
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:54,200
selector switch really no way check that

25
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:57,159
out it has a Hardware switch to change

26
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:01,719
it from router slap mode to Wi-Fi hotspot where it's not acting as a

27
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,320
router such as if you're in a hotel to repeater mode where if you're using this

28
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:08,560
at home and you're just like you know going to plug it in discreetly sorry

29
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:13,800
about that so you can discreetly plug them in if you're going to use it as a wireless network extender you've got

30
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,160
your WPS button as well as your hard reset button like it has all the

31
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,800
functionality that like oh no there's your Hardware hard reset okay I don't

32
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:26,800
know what this is oh it's an indicator LED okay um doesn't come apart in any

33
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:30,200
way so oh yeah there look it's got your default information right on there as

34
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:35,280
well that's very cool so just have to take it out of the wall have a look at it if you don't happen to have that card

35
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:40,120
handy so moving right along supports charging smartphones over USB how cool

36
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:45,159
is that so this USB port here can be used to charge something USB while it's

37
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,840
you know conveniently plugged in or you can even use it as a shareport with the

38
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:55,000
included app which is available either on the app store or on Google Play so

39
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:57,200
cool so you you throw a USB key on there

40
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,920
and then using the supported using the app you just beam it to yourself over

41
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:06,159
your wireless network very cool okay so moving right along uh

42
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:10,640
Wi-Fi protected setup y y dual active firewalls SPI and net only in router

43
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:15,840
mode okay the shareport aha in router and Wi-Fi hotspot mode only which makes

44
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:19,760
sense because otherwise how would it uh how would it even gain any access to the

45
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:26,000
network at all shareport mobile app for iPhone and iPad okay router

46
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,360
my okay so web file access wall plug

47
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,640
design for more convenient use elegant design compact size does not block other outlets One Touch P configuration guest

48
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:37,239
Zone support 24/7 basic installation support and a one-ear

49
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:41,120
warranty so basically this is the kind of thing where if you can't figure out

50
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,879
the Practical applications of it then you probably don't need one and if you

51
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:49,920
can then you're probably just as excited about this as I am travel routers are

52
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:52,360
very popular because if you do travel a

53
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,640
lot the single Ethernet port in your stupid hotel room is often not enough if

54
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,120
you have visitors or if you have multiple devices like you have your

55
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:03,720
laptop and you have a tablet for example which is pretty in these days so this

56
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,120
solves that problem and it does it in a very compelling form factor don't forget

57
