00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:19.680
welcome to my unboxing of the dlink amplify this is what they're calling

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:23.640
okay now this is a whole home router

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:26.599
1000 okay so what is a whole home router

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

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:35.280
wireless coverage compared to pretty

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:40.760
much anything else that you can get and how are they achieving this well dink

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:46.000
with their patented sectorized antenna design for Superior smart beam

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:49.680
performance is basically and this is

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.120
their summary not mine um but what

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:58.079
they're basically doing is they're detecting exactly where your wireless

00:00:54.160 --> 00:01:03.280
devices are and they are beaming

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:05.119
bandwidth directly to to them okay so my

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:10.520
understanding of this is the router actually adapts where it is delivering

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:15.759
the strongest signals by

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:22.439
focusing the wireless antenna at your devices rather than just having kind of

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:24.880
that uh General sort of hoam coverage it

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:30.560
is sending Focus signals to each of your wireless devices in order to get you

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:32.520
what is essentially just greater range

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:36.439
okay so here we go here's where they help you choose the right product for

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:41.200
you so all of these products are good for IPv6 technology with N300 being

00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:45.960
better for extended Wireless for larger homes or multiple floors and N plus 300

00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:51.079
being better for USB shareport for sharing devices an N plus 300 dual band

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:56.880
being better for HD video gaming and Skype calls and then finally we have

00:01:54.040 --> 00:02:00.920
amplify npl 300 which is connectivity into virtually every corner of your home

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:05.920
and even out Outdoors they have a little one there so what what are they wanting

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.920
about

00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:11.520
um okay I don't see it hold on let me

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:16.800
see if I can find it yes ha here we go maximum Wireless

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:21.280
signal rate derived from I standard to 802.11 specifications actual data thr

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:24.560
throughput may vary including volume of networking traffic building materials

00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:29.360
and construction Network overhead all that kind of interesting stuff

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:32.599
okay oh here we go think green while this may look like your average product

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

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:40.599
is for the environment the dir 645 is designed to conserve energy protect our

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.519
environment from harmful substances and reduce waste by using recyclable

00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:48.640
packaging interesting that's good I always appreciate that recyclable

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

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

00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:03.760
exist anymore aha here here's a little diagram so you can see what their

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.120
patented sectorized antenna design is kind of going to look like so why don't

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

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

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:24.239
GPL code statement okay cool we've got an Ethernet cable we've got a power

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:26.799
brick aha stop insert CD and Run Wizard

00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:31.920
first so this is the strangest shaped router that I have yet to see

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

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

00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.760
wireless network which is very important because people can even do things like

00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:51.239
commit cyber crimes on your wireless network which can be traceable back to

00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:53.280
well your account with your internet

00:03:51.239 --> 00:03:57.519
service provider which is bad for a number of reasons okay stop insert okay

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

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:07.319
first so I'm thinking that for this product you might want to consider

00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:10.280
stopping and running the CD the wizard

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:14.159
on the CD first before you go any further and to prevent overheating

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:18.000
remove the clear protective covers before using so dealing provides these

00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:22.639
clear protective covers in order to keep the uh product from being all covered by

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:28.320
nasty horrible fingerprints before you even get a chance to use

00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:30.400
it there we go let's go ahead and start

00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:36.000
pulling those off because that's what we do on this channel we unbox products

00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:39.320
which includes removing protective

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.320
films that is a very shiny router that's

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

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:51.160
see slick very clearly right about now so let's just take that off and what

00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:57.400
all do we find on this router So the antenna is

00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:02.960
actually in here is my understanding based on the diagram okay we've got got

00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:08.120
an uh web indicator LED Wireless indicator LED WPS button and a power

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

00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:17.960
router very strange okay we've got a dlink logo right about here on the back

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:23.600
we find 1 2 3 four these are gigabit Ethernet ports if memory serves yes they

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:25.759
are 4 gbit ports as well as a w Port so

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

00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:34.039
storage device in order to share files on your home network which is a really

00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:38.160
handy feature for routers to have that way if you have very simple file sharing

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.720
needs and you just want to you know well share a couple files simply on your

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

00:05:44.039 --> 00:05:51.280
bottom we find our reset switch I was looking for that I couldn't figure out

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:52.560
where it was and I think basically

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

00:05:54.400 --> 00:06:01.120
until I can give you guys some concrete sort of evidence that this provid

00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:07.000
provides better coverage and you should stay tuned on the ncixcom channel for

00:06:04.479 --> 00:06:11.479
that to be upcoming then I can't tell you guys whether their new antenna

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

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:21.440
lot of advancement in terms of antennas on Home wireless routers in the last 10

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

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

00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:33.599
terms of building better networks for your homes so I'm really looking forward

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

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

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

00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:53.880
videos and big thanks to dink for letting us check this thing out I'm very

00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:53.880
curious to see how this goes
