00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.240
now I have to confess this unboxing is going to seem like kind of a random one

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:12.519
because I actually just recently unboxed what is the faster better stronger

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:16.520
replacement for this particular product the reason I'm unboxing this one is I

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:21.400
want to do an ncx Tech tips episode comparing the older 300 megabit per

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:29.400
second version which is this guy right here the Tew 647 GA against the newer

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:32.640
better 687 GA which is a 450 megabit per

00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:36.160
second w less end product so I'm going

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:38.200
to start with my unboxing knife by

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:43.079
breaking the seal along this side of the product here there we go going to open

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:49.120
that up cuz it's going to be hard for you guys to see what's on this box with

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:51.079
this glossy shrink wrap covering on it

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:54.480
okay let's take that off there we go all right so what does trenet have to say

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:59.359
for themselves about this product well it has a OneTouch setup button LED

00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:03.719
status indicators reset button on the bottom land port and a power connector

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:07.040
okay my understanding is that the land port on this guy is actually 1000 so

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:13.080
that's going to be a bit of a performance limiting factor compared to

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:18.200
the gigabit port on the 687 here's some related products they're

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:21.799
talking about uh so you can use this they're called a wireless end gaming

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:28.040
adapter there's nothing particularly gaming about it it can be used for a PC

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:32.200
or a Wii using a USB adapter or a PS uh

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:34.240
PS3 Xbox or a PC or television or

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:39.119
whatever any kind of Ethernet Network enabled device you happen to have so

00:01:36.399 --> 00:01:43.920
Wi-Fi compliant works with BGN devices works with pretty much anything enhances

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:47.920
performance for online gaming okay all right uh I mean it's probably not better

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:52.680
than a network connection but you might be better off with this than with you

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:57.200
know some cheesy uh USB wireless adapter depending on the situation okay so

00:01:55.240 --> 00:02:01.719
they're saying 4X the coverage of G and 12 times the speed of G okay and that's

00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:07.039
pretty much it for the outside of the box so let's open up the box and find

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.480
out what's inside I suspect I already know what's going to be inside probably

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:15.640
a disc a manual a product an Ethernet cable and a power adapter but let's find

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:19.440
out just for fun so here is the setup wizard users guide so that's not

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.599
actually a driver's disc so you might want to check that out find out what's

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:28.720
on there next we have a quick installation guide which is two pages

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.920
long apparently in English oh no no there's a few more pages so they show

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.800
you how to uh connect it to your router set up a password all kinds of good

00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:45.360
stuff in here all right next we find a power adapter as expected an Ethernet

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:47.159
cable as expected as well as the 647 GA

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.640
now what I didn't expect and then I'm going to like totally show you guys the

00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:58.480
floor of the tech tips room here here's the 687 GA I did not expect the size

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.879
differential here so the huh yeah the

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:07.360
647 GA is absolutely dwarfed by the 687 GA it's

00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:11.879
like just yeah look look at that I got to like hold these really far away to

00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:14.840
even show you the 687 whereas the 647 is

00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:19.200
like tiny so that's one thing the 647 has going for it it's small size here's

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:23.799
our Ethernet port here's our power in here's our glossy finish where you can

00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:28.480
see my chest mounted tripod camera setup here is the wireless indicator uh Lan

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:32.720
indicator as well as power indicator some Trend net branding on the side I

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:36.439
like their glossy black outsides they're using on their current products versus

00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:40.799
the like cheesy blue ones they had on their old ones these are really nice

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:45.519
here's our connect button and then on the very bottom there's a little tiny

00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:48.080
pinpoint that's the reset button so unless there's something else in here

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:56.400
which there isn't thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Tew 647 GA and

00:03:52.519 --> 00:04:00.840
stay tuned for my test of this guy

00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:03.079
versus this guy and what Wireless 450

00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:10.840
megabit per second actually brings to the table over an old Wireless 300

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.840
megabit per second adapter
