welcome to my unboxing and first look at the dlink dwa 182 this is pretty M I
actually don't know of another one I mean there's media Bridges there's uh
not a whole lot else but there are not a lot of Wireless AC clients out there yet
and dlink already has a USB one so very very cool stuff so this is a dual band
ac200 Next Generation Wi-Fi remember guys this number right here refers to
how many megabit per second it is theoretically capable of delivering So
in theory this guy is capable of over a gigabit in terms of raw throughput now
remember there's overhead involved so you're not going to see that in the real world plus you know distance and speed
drops and whatever else but that's what it is theoretically maximum capable of
so there's the speed Superior range dual band so that means 4 point or 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz 5 GHz remember is not quite as good for range but is a little bit
better for speed and there's a lot less interference on that uh frequency versus
2.4 gz which everything from like old Wireless cordless phones and all kinds
of other stuff's on there hd3d ready at that kind of speed it better be easy
setup okay so draft AC compliant n compliant G compliant a compliance so
it's got lots of different backwards compatibility WPS setup for easy
configuration this is basically all the same stuff it just told us on the back
oh they have 24/7 support now I didn't even know that and their packaging is
printed with with soy
ink Windows 7 compatible hopefully Windows 8 compatible too let's find out
what's in here so we've got a quick start sort of start here CD we can
download the latest off the dlink website got something in like Le France
oh written offer oh whatever source code thing okay I'm glad we put that on a
piece of paper uh dual band okay package cont really we open up the package and
it tells us the package well that's so that we can check and make sure that
everything's in there but seriously there's your quick start guide and
finally wow look at this thing this is this is a manly USB adapter important
install the software from the bundle TD before inserting the adapter they did
put it on a big yellow sticker so I guess I better make sure that I do that
although that won't help me the next time when this is in the pile of like
network adapters and I don't see that warning and then I forget and plug it in
with you know what I'm going to do this is something I highly recommend you guys
do for yourself is leave warning labels for yourself on things
there problem solved no you know what let's just make it not look stupid there
we go so there's your WPS adapter there's your indicator LED that must be
a new dlink logo because I've never seen that before there's a more traditional
dlink logo on the back you got some information including the Mac Address
and here we have a cardinal sin committed caps that
don't attach to the back that's that's a shame USB 2
interface um meaning we'd be limited to 480 megabit
per second anyway because that's the limit of USB 2 so so if we can get that
kind of throughput then I guess I'll be then I guess I'll be pleased with it because that's more than a g adapter can
do anyhow it comes with an extension
cable so if you don't want to plug it directly into something you want to get
it up sort of higher away from something then that'll help and it'll look
something like that oh there we go I
think that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my un boxing and
