we have four rounders to unbox from western digital and we are going to
start with the lowest end one because that's always
the hardest when you have an entire series of products and sort of talking
about the cool features that are present is taking the lowest end one out of the
entire product stack and figuring out what's exciting about it in this case
it's not actually that difficult because the mynet series of routers has
really one key feature that goes above and
beyond what kind of anyone else is doing it's called fast track so fast track is
as wd describes it um
uh fast track stop waiting start watching smooth hd streaming to your
smart tvs tablet smartphones computers and other connected devices so it is
quality of service that rather than setting up manually within like a qos
menu inside the web interface for your router and logging into that and then
manually putting things into it which is kind of a chore every time you have some
new game and you have to build some new profile just to make sure that it's
prioritized it's sort of stupid so fast track the idea is you turn it on
and based on profiles that wd builds for the mynet n600 as well as the n750
it will just kind of automatically prioritize the things that need extra
bandwidth and it will reserve bandwidth for them so that they don't lag and they
don't stutter with the mine at 900 it actually recognizes the shape of the
traffic and dynamically adjusts so it'll go oh that looks like a game and it'll
dynamically reserve bandwidth for it even without wd rolling out profiles in
their firmwares but with the lower end ones you do have to rely on the profiles
from western digital this particular router is a dual band 300 plus 300
megabit per second router so effective and 600 speed
good range really they put that on there good range
uh easy setup fast track streaming full hd 1080p okay it better be if it's uh
oh look at this they have a convenient product comparison here too so range is
house and then there's a bigger house and there's a really big house okay
fast track fast track fast track plus is the adaptive one very cool
100 Ethernet ports so it does have fast wireless but only fast Ethernet fast
Ethernet isn't fast anymore it's gigabit Ethernet is the faster one one usb 2.0
port so western digital is a storage company so it stands to reason that they
would want to you know i don't know configure their routers so that you can
add storage to them so something like a my book live would be a perfect
companion for one of their
uh for one of their my net routers in fact if you use
a my book live you can even enable additional features like apple's file
protocol so you can use time capsule that's what it's called right time
capsule time machine time capsule i think
hold on yay google time capsule is the apple
device that has storage inside of it that allows you to use time machine to
back up your pcs over the network so this will behave kind of like a time
capsule once you attach a qualified
external drive to it otherwise you don't get that apple protocol and you can
still use it as storage but just not with the extra features so in terms of
the physicality of it you've got a power led wireless led interwebs led and
w-w-e-p-w-p-a yeah our private protected yeah wpa
wwps there's the button for wps which
sort of next to the led indicator which means that i should probably realize
that at some point in time there's your power button on the back
nice toggle power button dc in
four fast Ethernet ports remember fast doesn't mean fast fast means not as fast
which is okay because this is a lower end product uh there's your lan port
there's your usb storage port and there's your ventilation holes and other
than that there's not much else to say about it i mean it's you know
simple to set up i suppose let's see if they have a quick start guide so start
here start didn't see here okay
one two three steps for mac one two three steps from Windows hey ironically
the one two three steps for Windows actually look a lot simpler than the one
two three steps for mac huh there's a disc you can use that if you
want it comes with an Ethernet cable it comes with a power adapter and also
comes with a technical support unlimited warranty guide with a whole bunch of numbers all
over the world that some of them don't even make any sense i mean how many oh
that's three different phone numbers i was like is that a phone number for
singapore i mean singapore they must have to remember like 30 digits just to
call somebody thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the mynet
n600 from western digital don't forget to subscribe to lions tech tips from
unboxings reviews and other computer videos and i did mention it was dual band but i didn't mention it's 2.4
gigahertz and 5 gigahertz which is what dual band means but not everyone knows that
