00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:14.920
welcome to my unboxing of the lynxis wes610n

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:17.080
this is a four port dualband and

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:22.400
entertainment Bridge so what is an entertainment Bridge well I would say

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:28.880
that it is a bridge that whenever you walk over it there is entertainment to

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:32.680
be found such as the Golden Gate Bridge

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:34.239
with a circus next to it that is what I

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:39.360
would consider to be an entertainment Bridge NOP this is a different kind of

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:44.800
entertainment bridge this is a wireless bridge which is to say that it Bridges

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:46.600
your wireless network to a wired Network

00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:53.000
and it is for entertainment in that it is fast so it is fully ready for HD and

00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:56.640
3D content uh Slick's giv me a hard time about the reflections coming off this

00:00:54.559 --> 00:01:00.480
box so why don't we just get the Box open get the product on the table and

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:06.560
then I will tell you about how it is fast separately if it

00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:08.000
pleases His Highness okay actually it's

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:12.000
you guys who are complaining about all the focusing issues and yes we're aware

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:16.119
of them um no we can't really do anything about the camera for the time

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:20.720
being but there you have it let's get this thing opened up and I'm actually

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:25.240
pretty excited about this one because this is the kind of thing that is

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:30.000
actually useful it's not networking for the sake of networking it is networking

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:36.640
for the sake of making my life a a little bit easier and better so fully HD

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:39.479
and 3D ready it is 300 megabit per

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:45.040
second it is dual band so that is 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz offers Superior range has

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:49.560
fast Ethernet ports which I believe means 10 100 Ethernet ports which are

00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:54.719
pretty much as slow as it gets but as fast as you will

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:56.200
need and push button setup so how does

00:01:54.719 --> 00:02:01.759
this work basically what you do is you set up

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:06.759
the wireless entertainment bridge by using WPS or by configuring it using the

00:02:05.039 --> 00:02:11.000
utility here this is actually one case where I would say yeah it kind of helps

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:15.040
to have the uh the setup guide because you just plug this in then it walks you

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.720
through everything and it's really really easy we've actually done it

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.720
already with the range extender and then what you do is you reposition the bridge

00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:25.360
sort of further away or wherever you want to put it and you're good to go

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:30.360
speaking of where you would want to put it what is this four so on the back you

00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:33.319
are going to find four Ethernet ports as well as power in what are those four

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:39.159
Ethernet ports for why is it called an entertainment bridge I still haven't told you this so it is an entertainment

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:44.080
Bridge because it is intended to be put near Your Entertainment so a lot of

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:49.280
people have home theaters these days that is to say a TV with stuff connected

00:02:46.959 --> 00:02:52.680
to it so a TV with stuff connected to it often has Network stuff connected to it

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.120
so things that you would connect to your TV that have networking these days so

00:02:54.200 --> 00:03:01.239
Blu-ray players um Xboxes WIS

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:05.239
PS3s I don't know those little Network media player things like a patriot box

00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:10.000
office something like that maybe you got some network storage that you happen to

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:13.959
have nearby maybe you've got uh what else I even smart TVs now they need

00:03:11.799 --> 00:03:16.760
Ethernet as well so Ethernet you need all these Ethernet connections what are

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:20.440
you going to do are you going to run from your switch which is you know

00:03:18.440 --> 00:03:23.280
probably in your basement or probably in your attic or somewhere out of the way

00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:28.959
from your switch are you actually going to run four to five to six to who knows

00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:33.879
how many Ethernet cables down to your media center will you're not so one

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:38.360
option is to run a single cable and use a switch to split it out into all the

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:43.159
different devices and another option if you live in a house like mine where I

00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.560
happen to have a brick wall backing my

00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:47.959
entertainment center which means I can't run anything down the wall I have no

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:52.159
crawl space so I can't run anything through the floor I don't want unsightly

00:03:49.799 --> 00:03:55.519
wires running around so I am stuck with either power line or Wireless so if

00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.799
power line doesn't work in your house for whatever reason then you go with wireless if Wireless doesn't work for

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:05.840
whatever reason you go with power line at least you have those two options so this guy allows me to take my wireless

00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:10.680
network which already exists in my house it communicates with my router that way

00:04:08.079 --> 00:04:14.920
and then it acts as a four-port switch so I can plug it into my Xbox my TV my

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:18.959
Blu-ray player and maybe I have one auxiliary Jack in order to get

00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:24.320
networking to all of those devices at the same time now none of these are

00:04:21.479 --> 00:04:28.600
going to be sort of you know sucking all the bandwidth at the same time most of

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:31.840
these devices are just going to be about you know running an update or you know

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:35.880
changing the firmware or whatever else the case may be but the entertainment

00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.600
Bridge due to being 300 megabit per second dual band does have the bandwidth

00:04:38.039 --> 00:04:45.199
to take at least one of those devices and run 1080phd content to it as long as

00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:49.400
you're within a reasonable range so I think that pretty much covers everything

00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:52.320
as far as usage scenarios goes on this one let me just see if I've missed

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:56.039
anything oh check this out multiple antennas for expanded coverage and

00:04:53.880 --> 00:04:59.800
reliability dual band we already covered that quality of service traffic prior

00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:03.880
prioritization deliver Smooth video gaming performance that's kind of cool

00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:09.000
okay Advanced security WPA2 security to help keep your network protected

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.840
Wireless uh 802.11n for top performance

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:14.400
Y and backwards compatibility with ABG and let's see what else we got oh yeah

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:17.560
here so I guess I didn't really have to spell all that out for you guys because

00:05:16.039 --> 00:05:22.479
look an Xbox a Blu-ray player and something else and a TV wireless end

00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:25.680
router Wireless this is the bridge this is the entertainment in terms of other

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:29.960
things that are included we have an Ethernet cable of which you'll need

00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:32.280
probably at least one hopefully cuz if you're just putting this bridge like

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:37.800
next to your TV and you don't actually plug an Ethernet cable into it you're kind of missing the point and then we

00:05:35.080 --> 00:05:41.440
also have a power adapter and finally we have a lyus dual Bend and entertainment

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:44.639
Bridge CD which I actually do recommend using because it does make your life a

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:50.319
little bit easier thank you for checking out my unboxing of the I see I can never

00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:53.120
