welcome to my unboxing of a router that I'm actually surprisingly excited about
this is the dlink d505 it's an all-in-one mobile companion which I
think they mean to say is mini router great for traveling and it sure is
transforms any internet connection into a Wi-Fi hotspot so you know what let's
let's start by getting it opened up but this thing is extremely cool so it's the
size of like I don't know the size of a wall wart
basically and it will provide you with
check this out so it turns your uh your W
connection into a hotspot that you can connect up to 50 devices to it also has
a bunch of other cool features so let's start with hold on hold on okay let's
start with the sexy ribbon cable
Ethernet cable that comes with it very very nice love to see that you can
bundle that up nice and small and pack it with you wherever you go you've also
got links to the mobile apps and the mobile app that's included is like just
killer actually so here okay we got this
we got this we got oh little card that conveniently tells you all the default
information about it which will be handy because you'll be sort of moving around
with it and you won't necessarily have your instruction manual handy that we
don't need so let's have a look at what dlink has to say for themselves and why
I'm all like stoked on this router at this point so features multiple
operation modes so it can either be a router access point or it can be a
repeater or it can be a repeater or a Wi-Fi um network extender very cool okay
802.11n so yes it's Wireless N mod
selector switch really no way check that
out it has a Hardware switch to change
it from router slap mode to Wi-Fi hotspot where it's not acting as a
router such as if you're in a hotel to repeater mode where if you're using this
at home and you're just like you know going to plug it in discreetly sorry
about that so you can discreetly plug them in if you're going to use it as a wireless network extender you've got
your WPS button as well as your hard reset button like it has all the
functionality that like oh no there's your Hardware hard reset okay I don't
know what this is oh it's an indicator LED okay um doesn't come apart in any
way so oh yeah there look it's got your default information right on there as
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
handy so moving right along supports charging smartphones over USB how cool
is that so this USB port here can be used to charge something USB while it's
you know conveniently plugged in or you can even use it as a shareport with the
included app which is available either on the app store or on Google Play so
cool so you you throw a USB key on there
and then using the supported using the app you just beam it to yourself over
your wireless network very cool okay so moving right along uh
Wi-Fi protected setup y y dual active firewalls SPI and net only in router
mode okay the shareport aha in router and Wi-Fi hotspot mode only which makes
sense because otherwise how would it uh how would it even gain any access to the
network at all shareport mobile app for iPhone and iPad okay router
my okay so web file access wall plug
design for more convenient use elegant design compact size does not block other outlets One Touch P configuration guest
Zone support 24/7 basic installation support and a one-ear
warranty so basically this is the kind of thing where if you can't figure out
the Practical applications of it then you probably don't need one and if you
can then you're probably just as excited about this as I am travel routers are
very popular because if you do travel a
lot the single Ethernet port in your stupid hotel room is often not enough if
you have visitors or if you have multiple devices like you have your
laptop and you have a tablet for example which is pretty in these days so this
solves that problem and it does it in a very compelling form factor don't forget
