welcome to my unboxing and first look at a router that's
far cooler than it at first appears to be but first you look at it and you go oh
they took a router and they put ears on it it must have been made in japan
buffalo happens to be a japanese company okay moving right along though this is
the wzr 600dhp this is a high power so they're going
for extra well power for enhanced signal strength and performance dual band
simultaneous 300 plus 300 megabit per second which honestly is as fast as any
of your devices at this point anyway uh gigabit Ethernet okay for maximum wired
speed multi-platform blah blah blah right there bam actually there's a
better logo double bam dd wrt so this router is a
high powered writer router that is hold on
slick was complaining his camera work isn't good enough to compensate for the
the reflective wrapping so there you go dd wrt logo it also is ready for
bittorrent wi-fi protected setup wi-fi and whatever that is so ddwrt is a
third-party firmware that allows you to unlock additional functionality and
features on what would otherwise be a stock router
so by calling out the ddw artinis of this router they have actually
effectively said look this is compatible with what is widely regarded to be the
best third party firmware out there it has these high-powered sort of features
that are cute and adorable and it's not that expensive so what what
else is there to really say uh dual bands this okay this was their ac router
so this it falls below an ac router in terms of the performance but
is and and a little bit behind sort of the 450 megabit per second stuff on
wireless n but honestly you'd never really notice the difference
between wireless and 300 and 450 on for example your ipad because your your ipad
doesn't even support 450 and i think a lot of devices are going to get support
for ac and skip 450 entirely because this is just my personal opinion so if i
was looking for something very customizable that again is extremely
cute you know japanese this might be what i go for so i'm going
to get this assembled and de-rapified and we'll be back in a moment
reset buttons located on the bottom of the router there's also a handy indicator for how to install the
stand there you go
okay maybe i didn't do it right give me a sec uh-huh
ah there we go okay to install the stand you've also got movie engine on and off
so i guess that's probably just a qos feature diagnostic router
these are the two bands 2.4 gigahertz and 5 gigahertz power
yes uh there's your wi-fi protected setup
okay cool stuff oh shoot i forgot i was trying to avoid touching the shiny set
oh that's not bad that's actually surprisingly uh can you
can you tell that the fingerprints aren't that bad on there wow usually i see okay guys i see
surfaces like this and then i'm like oh that means i can never ever touch it but
this is this is actually okay now let's see if it gets scratched when i wipe it
off because that's the other that's the other mark of death for uh for shiny
stuff yeah it gets micro scratches when you wipe it but realistically you should
be hiding this under a table somewhere anyway so i guess if you're if you're that fussy
about it then oh that came off again
okay the point of this is the firmware and the power guys um moving right along
you can turn the router on off or auto
so that makes this easy to use as just a wireless access point it has a hardware
switch for turning that off very handy okay usb eject
usb port for storage as well as four gigabit ports your wan
port and your power in in terms of accessories we've got buffalo's
characteristic flat Ethernet cable
do do like see that's a heart right there um we've also got a power adapter
it comes on the wrapper with you know the ssid as well as the key
that are initially set up as well as the information you need so put this somewhere safe just in case you forget
and you don't know how to use google to look it up i mean well no you can know
how to use google but it's not always convenient ah screws to hold this on
there we go see they thought of this someone at some point was like no no it
doesn't stay on screws done deal all right and
no way they actually
huh so there's like different uh there's
different feature checklists depending on the uh whether you use the stock
firmware or the ddwrt firmware there's a setup guide as well as a warranty
statement thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at what's actually a pretty cool looking router

and it's also a spaceship you can slide this in here and then it's meant to be
oriented like this you can hold it like this part you'll be like
