learn more welcome to what'll be a pretty quick and straight forward unboxing of the lynus ea6500 this is

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:27,599
what they're calling a Smart Wi-Fi router and it runs at ac750 so it's dual

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
band which means 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and

6
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:34,280
remember when they spec these maximum throughputs they're actually stacking

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:38,840
the total combined throughput on the multiple bands and across multiple

8
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:43,719
Technologies so it's actually ac300 or 1.3 gbit and

9
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,559
n450 now they're also calling it a Smart Wi-Fi router which basically means it's

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,000
got a bunch of different features including y Smart Wi-Fi the ability to

11
00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:55,199
utilize apps to customize your Wi-Fi home get anywhere access to your network

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,320
enable intelligent media prioritization so some of these features are great some

13
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:05,199
of them are not necessarily as great the ea4 500 with what they called at that

14
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,159
time uh Cisco Cloud connect was um I I

15
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:11,439
didn't end up using those features and I instead used the more barebones firmware

16
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:16,200
but what I liked about the ea4500 is it was extremely fast extremely powerful

17
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:19,439
and didn't rely any fancy configurations in order to really get awesome

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,000
performance out of it compared to some of the other routers that we tried so we

19
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:28,040
actually have quite a few of those deployed so why are we upgrading to the

20
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:32,520
ea6500 you might ask and the answer is pretty straightforward so number one is

21
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:38,320
that it uses Wireless AC so if you have any devices that are able to leverage AC

22
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:40,640
for example I have an HTC1 you will

23
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:45,960
potentially see some speed benefit there number two is the fact that it's

24
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,600
simultaneous dual band so 2.4 and 5 GHz

25
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:51,360
means that you have the potential for maximum range as well as maximum

26
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:57,119
throughput and we have some content coming very soon on NVIDIA Shield which

27
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:01,640
relies on a very strong Wireless signal in order to stream HD video which is

28
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:06,000
essentially your game so in order to stream HD games from your computer to

29
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:09,560
your handheld device so we wanted something that was really beefy enough

30
00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:14,640
so we asked lynxis to go ahead and send one of these over to us in terms of

31
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:17,200
accessories you get a huge power brick I

32
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:21,760
mean this thing's uh this I mean I guess this is in line with what I already knew

33
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:26,519
about AC and if you look at any of the actually decent AC add-in cards such as

34
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:32,080
the one from ASUS which has a massive heat sink on it and like antennas that

35
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,640
come out like this um this is not power

36
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:38,160
sipping hardware and so we're not and then the kind of implementation in here

37
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:43,720
is not the same as what you might find in a phone so don't expect to see 1.3

38
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:47,319
gigabit throughput to your phone but it is a significant improvement over

39
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:52,599
Wireless nend we also get an Ethernet cable as well as a setup CD and last but

40
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:57,159
not least we get the router itself which has that same kind of not like the older

41
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,159
UFO shape where they were super glossy but it has the same kind of shape as the

42
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:05,239
ea4500 except that it is significantly larger

43
00:03:03,239 --> 00:03:09,560
and has more ventilation which is also in line with that larger power adapter

44
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,440
so we find ventilation holes here along the bottom where we expect air to be

45
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:18,280
passively drawn in there's four rubber feet here here here and here as well and

46
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:21,360
this was missing from the ea4500 glad to see they added this uh wall mounts right

47
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:29,920
here so you can go ahead and put a couple Nails on the wall and hang it off that then all along the sides of the

48
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,760
device side front and other side

49
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:36,040
there goes the Box uh we find more ventilation holes and then again in the

50
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:40,599
top here here and here on the back we find what lynis is calling and this

51
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:45,799
should really be a cardinal sin uh rebranding WPS I think they're calling

52
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:50,599
it simple tap technology TM for easy setup that is a WPS button right there

53
00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:54,439
so it allows you to without entering any security Keys connect this to other

54
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,760
devices you've also got an integrated five port switch four of which are

55
00:03:56,079 --> 00:04:02,000
normal ports and one of which is intended as a Wan Port so that's where

56
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:06,159
you'll plug your Broadband modem into and then you've got a couple of USB

57
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:09,599
ports for storage so if you don't have something like a dedicated Nas you can

58
00:04:07,799 --> 00:04:12,760
add storage to this simply by plugging things in there there's often support

59
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:17,639
for things like printers as well a hardware reset button as well as power

60
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,600
input so the last things that I should probably mention about this are the high

61
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:25,400
powerered amplifier for ultimate range remember guys 5 GHz routers do not

62
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:31,039
necessarily have the same kind of range as 2.4 GHz routers it is inherently a

63
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,639
shorter range technology but what's good about it is there's less potential for

64
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:39,199
interference whether it's from your cordless phone or whether it's from

65
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:43,560
other wireless networks around you from people who haven't upgraded to 5 GHz or

66
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:47,560
microwaves or whatever else so you might get more effective range out of it and

67
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:53,360
then they also have lots of parental controls and I personally find their firmware easy to use but not just easy

68
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:56,840
to use but quicker to use because you don't have to reboot your router in

69
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,039
order to apply any changes which is something that maybe people using

70
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,759
aftermarket firmwares take for granted but for people who don't want to go down

71
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:07,680
that route when I compare this to something like dink's latest and

72
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,560
greatest AC router which requires a 300C

73
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:14,120
cool down when you upgrade the firmware and I think a 100 or 90 second cool down

74
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:17,800
when you apply any changes this is much faster when you're trying to diagnose uh

75
00:05:16,039 --> 00:05:22,319
any kind of random Network issue thank you for checking out my unboxing and
