00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:19,680
welcome to my unboxing of the dlink amplify this is what they're calling

2
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:23,640
okay now this is a whole home router

3
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:26,599
1000 okay so what is a whole home router

4
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:33,520
what they're saying is that for a large home this is going to provide the most

5
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,280
wireless coverage compared to pretty

6
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:40,760
much anything else that you can get and how are they achieving this well dink

7
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:46,000
with their patented sectorized antenna design for Superior smart beam

8
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:49,680
performance is basically and this is

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,120
their summary not mine um but what

10
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:58,079
they're basically doing is they're detecting exactly where your wireless

11
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:03,280
devices are and they are beaming

12
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:05,119
bandwidth directly to to them okay so my

13
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:10,520
understanding of this is the router actually adapts where it is delivering

14
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:15,759
the strongest signals by

15
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:22,439
focusing the wireless antenna at your devices rather than just having kind of

16
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,880
that uh General sort of hoam coverage it

17
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:30,560
is sending Focus signals to each of your wireless devices in order to get you

18
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:32,520
what is essentially just greater range

19
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:36,439
okay so here we go here's where they help you choose the right product for

20
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:41,200
you so all of these products are good for IPv6 technology with N300 being

21
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:45,960
better for extended Wireless for larger homes or multiple floors and N plus 300

22
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:51,079
being better for USB shareport for sharing devices an N plus 300 dual band

23
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,880
being better for HD video gaming and Skype calls and then finally we have

24
00:01:54,040 --> 00:02:00,920
amplify npl 300 which is connectivity into virtually every corner of your home

25
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:05,920
and even out Outdoors they have a little one there so what what are they wanting

26
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,920
about

27
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,520
um okay I don't see it hold on let me

28
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:16,800
see if I can find it yes ha here we go maximum Wireless

29
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:21,280
signal rate derived from I standard to 802.11 specifications actual data thr

30
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,560
throughput may vary including volume of networking traffic building materials

31
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:29,360
and construction Network overhead all that kind of interesting stuff

32
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:32,599
okay oh here we go think green while this may look like your average product

33
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,920
it's not this is a dink green product which is as good for your wallet as it

34
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,599
is for the environment the dir 645 is designed to conserve energy protect our

35
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,519
environment from harmful substances and reduce waste by using recyclable

36
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:48,640
packaging interesting that's good I always appreciate that recyclable

37
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,959
packaging is actually really important a whole lot of packaging ends up in landfills and it's totally unnecessary

38
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:59,200
because the entire purpose of this box is to get you to buy it and then to not

39
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:03,760
exist anymore aha here here's a little diagram so you can see what their

40
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,120
patented sectorized antenna design is kind of going to look like so why don't

41
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:11,200
we get this thing opened up and have a look at the device itself so start here

42
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:17,360
so read this before installing this we're here to help start here put this in your computer in order to get going

43
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:24,239
GPL code statement okay cool we've got an Ethernet cable we've got a power

44
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:26,799
brick aha stop insert CD and Run Wizard

45
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:31,920
first so this is the strangest shaped router that I have yet to see

46
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,959
but I knew that already before I opened it oh use of this device may make your

47
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:40,480
wireless connection vulnerable to unauthorized ACC oh basically it's telling you to enable a password on your

48
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:44,760
wireless network which is very important because people can even do things like

49
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:51,239
commit cyber crimes on your wireless network which can be traceable back to

50
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,280
well your account with your internet

51
00:03:51,239 --> 00:03:57,519
service provider which is bad for a number of reasons okay stop insert okay

52
00:03:56,079 --> 00:04:01,159
wow there's a lot of warnings about stop and insert the CD and run the wizard

53
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:07,319
first so I'm thinking that for this product you might want to consider

54
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:10,280
stopping and running the CD the wizard

55
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:14,159
on the CD first before you go any further and to prevent overheating

56
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,000
remove the clear protective covers before using so dealing provides these

57
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:22,639
clear protective covers in order to keep the uh product from being all covered by

58
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:28,320
nasty horrible fingerprints before you even get a chance to use

59
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,400
it there we go let's go ahead and start

60
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:36,000
pulling those off because that's what we do on this channel we unbox products

61
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:39,320
which includes removing protective

62
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,320
films that is a very shiny router that's

63
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:45,039
about as shiny as it gets if it weren't for the Distortion I'm sure you could

64
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:51,160
see slick very clearly right about now so let's just take that off and what

65
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:57,400
all do we find on this router So the antenna is

66
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:02,960
actually in here is my understanding based on the diagram okay we've got got

67
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:08,120
an uh web indicator LED Wireless indicator LED WPS button and a power

68
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,720
button that's funny you don't usually see a power button on the front of a

69
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:17,960
router very strange okay we've got a dlink logo right about here on the back

70
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:23,600
we find 1 2 3 four these are gigabit Ethernet ports if memory serves yes they

71
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,759
are 4 gbit ports as well as a w Port so

72
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:30,720
then we've got power in as well as USB so USB allows you to use a uh any USB

73
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,039
storage device in order to share files on your home network which is a really

74
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:38,160
handy feature for routers to have that way if you have very simple file sharing

75
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,720
needs and you just want to you know well share a couple files simply on your

76
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:45,720
network you plug them into your router no big deal you don't need any additional devices uh finally on the

77
00:05:44,039 --> 00:05:51,280
bottom we find our reset switch I was looking for that I couldn't figure out

78
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:52,560
where it was and I think basically

79
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:57,240
that's about as far as I'm going to be able to go in this unboxing because

80
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:01,120
until I can give you guys some concrete sort of evidence that this provid

81
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:07,000
provides better coverage and you should stay tuned on the ncixcom channel for

82
00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:11,479
that to be upcoming then I can't tell you guys whether their new antenna

83
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:15,280
technology works or not but what I can tell you is that we haven't seen a whole

84
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:21,440
lot of advancement in terms of antennas on Home wireless routers in the last 10

85
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:25,840
years basically we'll see like more or like taller ones but it's all the same

86
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:30,160
basic thing so this seems like if it works it could be a huge step forward in

87
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:33,599
terms of building better networks for your homes so I'm really looking forward

88
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,520
to testing it out and we'll be doing that here in the tech tips room and probably across the parking lot if the

89
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:42,000
range is anything like what they're saying it's going to be and I'm very very excited so thank you for checking

90
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:47,960
out my unboxing don't forget to subscribe to lus techit for more unboxings reviews and other computer

91
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:53,880
videos and big thanks to dink for letting us check this thing out I'm very

92
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:53,880
curious to see how this goes
