welcome to another links's power line unboxing this is slightly different from

2
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:20,119
the one that we saw before so there's two versions of the pl something 400

3
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:23,080
there's the plsk 400 which has the one with one port and the one with the four

4
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:31,400
port Hub built in and there's also the pl ekk 400 which

5
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:34,559
just has two 200 megabit per second

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:37,000
power line adapters and neither of them

7
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:42,039
has a four port Hub or switch or whatever you want to call it it's more

8
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,920
of a switch than a hub built in okay so

9
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:47,399
what do what does lynxis have to say for themselves transfer speeds up to 200

10
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,480
megabit per second it should be noted that most Powerline kits are not even

11
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:56,160
whatever they're rated at are not capable of exceeding 200 megabits per

12
00:00:53,320 --> 00:01:02,239
second anyway so Lyn's claim is that their spec is a very honest spec if not

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,759
nothing else okay if even if it's not the best spec Plug and Play easy setup I

14
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,759
can attest to that push button security which you don't even have to use you

15
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,439
just plug them in and they go fast Ethernet ports I think by fast they mean

16
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:19,159
1000 which by today's standards is not that fast but neither is power line when

17
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,799
you compare it with gigabit Ethernet so it's not really fair power line is the

18
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,479
technology that if you don't already know and you don't follow this Channel

19
00:01:24,759 --> 00:01:32,399
and you don't know how much I love power line it allows you to run networking

20
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:36,079
data through the copper wiring that provides electricity to the various

21
00:01:34,119 --> 00:01:41,000
parts of your home so you take this you plug it into the wall preferably where

22
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,799
there's an outlet and not here and then

23
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,840
you have an Ethernet cable that runs either to your router or to some other

24
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:50,840
networking device whether it's a smart TV down in your media center or whether

25
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:57,240
it's a computer that's in the attic and is otherwise very inconvenient to access

26
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,920
with uh with straight networking cable

27
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:04,520
comes with everything you need including two Ethernet cables which you plug into

28
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,920
there and then plug into the other thing that you want so the networking happens

29
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:12,560
between these two actually this is the best illustration I can think of for

30
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:17,879
power line cuz it basically works like this these guys interpret the data that

31
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:24,959
runs along I can never remember it eight pins here turns it into two pins here

32
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:28,879
then there's some copper wire in between and this guy interprets it on the other

33
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:34,640
side for eight pins to be compatible with pretty much any network adapter

34
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,599
anywhere attached to a device so there's the button that enables the security

35
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:43,640
there's your gigabit Ethernet or gigabit 1000 Ethernet port there's your power

36
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,280
indicator there's your um network indicator and there's your other more

37
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:50,519
different network indicator for the other more different network that is running on here don't forget to
