1 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:15,160 slick and iron agreement on this this is magical this is like more magical than 2 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,720 the iPad which the late Steve Jobs 3 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:23,680 declared to be magical therefore it is magical this is magical this is a 4 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,560 powerline AV wireless network extender 5 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,599 an existing inhome powerline network is required for use okay understood the 6 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,719 plw400 what does it do it easily extends your 7 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,879 wired and wireless network coverage in your home yes your wired and wireless 8 00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:45,360 network coverage in your home you know I'm going to go find that okay so if you 9 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,079 already have one of these where you got like you know your power line like 10 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,239 somewhere you know this is where where your router is in your modem this is in 11 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,600 like Johnny's room to power his computer because you know the walls are made of 12 00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,559 lead or the paint is lead or you know you know you really shouldn't use lead 13 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:05,000 paint your kids will be like damaged by that okay so Johnny's room is painted 14 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,640 with lead and wireless doesn't work so we have power line running to there so 15 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,640 we buy this third adapter which just automatically like syns up with the 16 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,400 other guys you might have to press the sync button whatever no big deal what 17 00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:22,479 this does maybe we take this down to like the media room in the basement okay 18 00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:24,640 so you use the network Jack here to plug 19 00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:27,600 into okay we'll let we'll just start this looks like trying to look closely 20 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:33,840 at the tiny picture on the box it's like why are we doing this we're just going to open it anyway there we go there we 21 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:38,920 go so we use the Ethernet port on the bottom to run to like a switch which 22 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,720 powers like the the media PC and the TV 23 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:45,479 with Ethernet and all the gadgets that I'm sure you can all you know have and 24 00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:49,680 in your media room that everyone has a media room I don't have a medor room but 25 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,439 um right so that goes there and then because it's in the basement it's far 26 00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:59,960 away and you use lead paint in your house or for whatever reason you don't 27 00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:04,680 have good Wireless reception it also extends your wireless network so it's a 28 00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:09,039 range extender that doesn't have your bandwidth because it's using half of its 29 00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:13,920 signal to send and half of it signal to receive and it's like bridging these two 30 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:16,280 zones this is a range extender that has 31 00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:19,959 wired essentially as the backbone and then it just has a wireless like it 32 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:24,440 creates a little like Wireless extension Hotpot wherever it happens to be so this 33 00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:29,640 is the most magical thing ever because now instead of going you know trying to 34 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,720 boost the signal to your antenna or like Buy a wireless extender you just throw 35 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:38,319 these all over your house and you'll have like just the most Beast possible 36 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:43,200 wireless coverage throughout your entire house just by using little guys like 37 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:49,319 this and because Wireless bandwidth is so inconsequential even though these are 38 00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:51,040 only 200 megabit per second that wired 39 00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:54,319 connection it's still more than enough for anything you would do wirelessly on 40 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,280 something like a tablet or a phone or whatever else the case may be we have an 41 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:03,319 Ethernet cable that is included we have a setup to CD which you should no I 42 00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:06,400 don't know go ahead and use it actually Link's stuff is pretty good like it 43 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,920 doesn't waste a lot of your time and it's pretty straightforward okay package 44 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:15,159 contents wire transfer speeds up to 200 it's 2.4 GHz so it's not dual band or 45 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,400 anything fancy like that but it gives you extended home coverage and it has a 46 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:23,360 1000 Ethernet port which is all it really 47 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:26,959 needs supports WPS I think that's pretty much it so if 48 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,920 you guys don't understand yet how magical this is like like Post in the 49 00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:36,519 comments and let either me or one of the other users to uh like help you 50 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,239 understand that it's magical because it really is there's a reset switch here 51 00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:45,760 protection button WPS all your indicator LEDs onoff switch 52 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,400 and your Ethernet port and the plug that goes into the wall thank you for 53 00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:51,879 checking out this unboxing and first look don't forget to subscribe to Linus
