00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:14.280
welcome to my unboxing of a router that I'm actually surprisingly excited about

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:18.400
this is the dlink d505 it's an all-in-one mobile companion which I

00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:22.519
think they mean to say is mini router great for traveling and it sure is

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:26.960
transforms any internet connection into a Wi-Fi hotspot so you know what let's

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

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:37.520
size of like I don't know the size of a wall wart

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:38.840
basically and it will provide you with

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:44.320
check this out so it turns your uh your W

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:48.600
connection into a hotspot that you can connect up to 50 devices to it also has

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

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:56.320
start with the sexy ribbon cable

00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:00.199
Ethernet cable that comes with it very very nice love to see that you can

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

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:11.200
got links to the mobile apps and the mobile app that's included is like just

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:14.080
killer actually so here okay we got this

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:17.400
we got this we got oh little card that conveniently tells you all the default

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:20.079
information about it which will be handy because you'll be sort of moving around

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:24.119
with it and you won't necessarily have your instruction manual handy that we

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

00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:32.360
I'm all like stoked on this router at this point so features multiple

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:37.040
operation modes so it can either be a router access point or it can be a

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

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:49.960
802.11n so yes it's Wireless N mod

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:54.200
selector switch really no way check that

00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:57.159
out it has a Hardware switch to change

00:01:54.200 --> 00:02:01.719
it from router slap mode to Wi-Fi hotspot where it's not acting as a

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

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:08.560
at home and you're just like you know going to plug it in discreetly sorry

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

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:17.160
your WPS button as well as your hard reset button like it has all the

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:20.800
functionality that like oh no there's your Hardware hard reset okay I don't

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

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.200
way so oh yeah there look it's got your default information right on there as

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

00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:40.120
handy so moving right along supports charging smartphones over USB how cool

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

00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:48.840
you know conveniently plugged in or you can even use it as a shareport with the

00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:55.000
included app which is available either on the app store or on Google Play so

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:57.200
cool so you you throw a USB key on there

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.920
and then using the supported using the app you just beam it to yourself over

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:06.159
your wireless network very cool okay so moving right along uh

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:10.640
Wi-Fi protected setup y y dual active firewalls SPI and net only in router

00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:15.840
mode okay the shareport aha in router and Wi-Fi hotspot mode only which makes

00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:19.760
sense because otherwise how would it uh how would it even gain any access to the

00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:26.000
network at all shareport mobile app for iPhone and iPad okay router

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:27.360
my okay so web file access wall plug

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

00:03:30.760 --> 00:03:37.239
Zone support 24/7 basic installation support and a one-ear

00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:41.120
warranty so basically this is the kind of thing where if you can't figure out

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.879
the Practical applications of it then you probably don't need one and if you

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:49.920
can then you're probably just as excited about this as I am travel routers are

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:52.360
very popular because if you do travel a

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:55.640
lot the single Ethernet port in your stupid hotel room is often not enough if

00:03:54.200 --> 00:03:59.120
you have visitors or if you have multiple devices like you have your

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:03.720
laptop and you have a tablet for example which is pretty in these days so this

00:04:01.640 --> 00:04:07.120
solves that problem and it does it in a very compelling form factor don't forget

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:15.479
