00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:14.559
welcome to another links's power line unboxing this is slightly different from

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:20.119
the one that we saw before so there's two versions of the pl something 400

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

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:31.400
port Hub built in and there's also the pl ekk 400 which

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:34.559
just has two 200 megabit per second

00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:37.000
power line adapters and neither of them

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

00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:43.920
of a switch than a hub built in okay so

00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:47.399
what do what does lynxis have to say for themselves transfer speeds up to 200

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:51.480
megabit per second it should be noted that most Powerline kits are not even

00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:56.160
whatever they're rated at are not capable of exceeding 200 megabits per

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

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

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:10.759
can attest to that push button security which you don't even have to use you

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:15.439
just plug them in and they go fast Ethernet ports I think by fast they mean

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:19.159
1000 which by today's standards is not that fast but neither is power line when

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:22.799
you compare it with gigabit Ethernet so it's not really fair power line is the

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:26.479
technology that if you don't already know and you don't follow this Channel

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

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:36.079
data through the copper wiring that provides electricity to the various

00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:41.000
parts of your home so you take this you plug it into the wall preferably where

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.799
there's an outlet and not here and then

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:46.840
you have an Ethernet cable that runs either to your router or to some other

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:50.840
networking device whether it's a smart TV down in your media center or whether

00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:57.240
it's a computer that's in the attic and is otherwise very inconvenient to access

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.920
with uh with straight networking cable

00:01:57.240 --> 00:02:04.520
comes with everything you need including two Ethernet cables which you plug into

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.920
there and then plug into the other thing that you want so the networking happens

00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:12.560
between these two actually this is the best illustration I can think of for

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:17.879
power line cuz it basically works like this these guys interpret the data that

00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:24.959
runs along I can never remember it eight pins here turns it into two pins here

00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:28.879
then there's some copper wire in between and this guy interprets it on the other

00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:34.640
side for eight pins to be compatible with pretty much any network adapter

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:38.599
anywhere attached to a device so there's the button that enables the security

00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:43.640
there's your gigabit Ethernet or gigabit 1000 Ethernet port there's your power

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:46.280
indicator there's your um network indicator and there's your other more

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

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:56.720
