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

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

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.000
band which means 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and

00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:34.280
remember when they spec these maximum throughputs they're actually stacking

00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:38.840
the total combined throughput on the multiple bands and across multiple

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:43.719
Technologies so it's actually ac300 or 1.3 gbit and

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

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:51.000
got a bunch of different features including y Smart Wi-Fi the ability to

00:00:49.239 --> 00:00:55.199
utilize apps to customize your Wi-Fi home get anywhere access to your network

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:59.320
enable intelligent media prioritization so some of these features are great some

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:05.199
of them are not necessarily as great the ea4 500 with what they called at that

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:07.159
time uh Cisco Cloud connect was um I I

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:11.439
didn't end up using those features and I instead used the more barebones firmware

00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:16.200
but what I liked about the ea4500 is it was extremely fast extremely powerful

00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:19.439
and didn't rely any fancy configurations in order to really get awesome

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:23.000
performance out of it compared to some of the other routers that we tried so we

00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:28.040
actually have quite a few of those deployed so why are we upgrading to the

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:32.520
ea6500 you might ask and the answer is pretty straightforward so number one is

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

00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:40.640
for example I have an HTC1 you will

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:45.960
potentially see some speed benefit there number two is the fact that it's

00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.600
simultaneous dual band so 2.4 and 5 GHz

00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:51.360
means that you have the potential for maximum range as well as maximum

00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:57.119
throughput and we have some content coming very soon on NVIDIA Shield which

00:01:54.200 --> 00:02:01.640
relies on a very strong Wireless signal in order to stream HD video which is

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:06.000
essentially your game so in order to stream HD games from your computer to

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:09.560
your handheld device so we wanted something that was really beefy enough

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

00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:17.200
accessories you get a huge power brick I

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

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

00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:32.080
the one from ASUS which has a massive heat sink on it and like antennas that

00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:34.640
come out like this um this is not power

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:38.160
sipping hardware and so we're not and then the kind of implementation in here

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

00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:47.319
gigabit throughput to your phone but it is a significant improvement over

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

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

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

00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:05.239
ea4500 except that it is significantly larger

00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:09.560
and has more ventilation which is also in line with that larger power adapter

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:13.440
so we find ventilation holes here along the bottom where we expect air to be

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:18.280
passively drawn in there's four rubber feet here here here and here as well and

00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:21.360
this was missing from the ea4500 glad to see they added this uh wall mounts right

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

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.760
device side front and other side

00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:36.040
there goes the Box uh we find more ventilation holes and then again in the

00:03:33.480 --> 00:03:40.599
top here here and here on the back we find what lynis is calling and this

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:45.799
should really be a cardinal sin uh rebranding WPS I think they're calling

00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:50.599
it simple tap technology TM for easy setup that is a WPS button right there

00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:54.439
so it allows you to without entering any security Keys connect this to other

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:57.760
devices you've also got an integrated five port switch four of which are

00:03:56.079 --> 00:04:02.000
normal ports and one of which is intended as a Wan Port so that's where

00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:06.159
you'll plug your Broadband modem into and then you've got a couple of USB

00:04:03.720 --> 00:04:09.599
ports for storage so if you don't have something like a dedicated Nas you can

00:04:07.799 --> 00:04:12.760
add storage to this simply by plugging things in there there's often support

00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:17.639
for things like printers as well a hardware reset button as well as power

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:21.600
input so the last things that I should probably mention about this are the high

00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:25.400
powerered amplifier for ultimate range remember guys 5 GHz routers do not

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:31.039
necessarily have the same kind of range as 2.4 GHz routers it is inherently a

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:34.639
shorter range technology but what's good about it is there's less potential for

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:39.199
interference whether it's from your cordless phone or whether it's from

00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:43.560
other wireless networks around you from people who haven't upgraded to 5 GHz or

00:04:41.320 --> 00:04:47.560
microwaves or whatever else so you might get more effective range out of it and

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

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.840
to use but quicker to use because you don't have to reboot your router in

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:00.039
order to apply any changes which is something that maybe people using

00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.759
aftermarket firmwares take for granted but for people who don't want to go down

00:05:01.400 --> 00:05:07.680
that route when I compare this to something like dink's latest and

00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:09.560
greatest AC router which requires a 300C

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

00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:17.800
when you apply any changes this is much faster when you're trying to diagnose uh

00:05:16.039 --> 00:05:22.319
any kind of random Network issue thank you for checking out my unboxing and

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:25.000
first look at the lynxis ea6500 don't forget to subscribe to L tchp from
