00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:16,680
welcome to an unboxing of a product that I think probably like 80% of the people

2
00:00:13,799 --> 00:00:21,800
with a wireless network at home need even if they don't already know that

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:24,240
they need it this is the re1000 wireless

4
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:30,000
and range extender and now how many times at your house have you gone you

5
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,800
know sort of just out of range of your

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,840
wireless network like maybe you're sitting on the patio or maybe you're in

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:40,000
your garage working on something and in

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:44,440
frustration you see that you've got like one bar of Wireless strength and then

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:48,559
you try to transfer a file and it drops out and it doesn't work I mean really

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:54,079
you can't blame the wireless because you put so many obstacles like walls and

11
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:57,760
cars and small crying children in

12
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:59,519
between your router and your device and

13
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:06,360
you're going to run into reception problems so this is from Cisco or link

14
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,840
CIS by Cisco I should say this is a way

15
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,920
to easily increase wireless network coverage throughout your home or

16
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:17,200
business or wherever you want wireless network coverage even in your car if you

17
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:22,600
wanted to although it would only work when you're close to your router which

18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,600
is at home okay home fine so 2.4 GHz

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:28,400

00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:45,719
cool so I don't even need a Cisco or link CIS router in order to get this to

24
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:50,119
work flexible placement all you do is plug into a wall outlet or desktop

25
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:54,399
placement options to optimize the okay cool uh easy setup we've talked about

26
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,560
that push button security for Wi-Fi protected setup WPS fast Ethernet

27
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:03,119
built-in and quality of service devillers smooth video and gaming

28
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:07,240
performance awesome so here's a little diagram but let's talk about the diagram

29
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,520
after oh hold on ideal for enjoying added in home Mobility surfing the web

30
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:15,120
gaming and chatting online in hard to- reach areas and finally easily

31
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:19,000
connecting to an internet Ready TV or Blu-ray player so let's open it

32
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:26,720
up unboxing quickly by lonus Tech tips

33
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,720
okay so we find a

34
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:35,560
bracket we find a power

35
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,800
cord oh and it dropped okay got it nice

36
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:43,040
long power cord look at this it's approximately one linest armspan in

37
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,319
length and then we have an Ethernet

38
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:49,599
cable which I will check the length for you as well with my convenient and easy

39
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:54,000
to replicate units of measurement let's see what shall I use

40
00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:00,360
as a unit of measurement today maybe I'll

41
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:02,599
use H NC lanyard

42
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:06,879
okay approximately how many NC lanyards long is this looks like about 3 and half

43
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:13,799
ncx lanyards in length for that particular Ethernet cable also known as

44
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:15,239
6 ft no 4T okay I'm not even going to

45
00:03:13,799 --> 00:03:19,640
try and guess in real units of measurement not that I really consider

46
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:24,599
imperial units to be real units of measurement but you know that's a whole

47
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:27,760
other argument um here we have the

48
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:29,280
actual Wireless and range extender unit

49
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,760
itself you got a little illuminated Cisco logo right about there you've got

50
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:40,159
uh the two mounting options that they do talk about so the one is you take this

51
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:44,239
guy right here you throw it right

52
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:45,720
here there you go and then you are

53
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:51,040
plugging that into the wall and that's your range extender there's your WPS

54
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,959
OneTouch setup button there's your reset switch if you need to do a hard reset on

55
00:03:53,200 --> 00:04:02,680
the bottom of the unit there is your 10100 fast Ethernet port and

56
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:06,640
if you do not want to use that option you can also throw this guy on

57
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:15,920
here there you go and then you can plug in the power cord and that might get you

58
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:19,560
that little bit of extra reach maybe you want to like plug it in at the bottom

59
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:24,680
and then put it up on like a window sill so that you get better range in your backyard now before we go any further on

60
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,520
this because I think that's pretty much all there is to say about it no no

61
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,759
there's some documentation so there's a setup CD so you're going to want to

62
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,280
actually you know might want to use this just because uh it's going to make life

63
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,639
a little bit easier in terms of configuration for this guy uh avoid

64
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:46,639
placing the extender ah here tips for successful setup so this is what I was

65
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,440
just about to talk to or talk about

66
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:52,160
avoid placing the extender or Associated rou or access point near metal objects

67
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:56,039
reflective surfaces and masonry walls okay place the extender close to the

68
00:04:54,039 --> 00:05:00,120
router or access point during initial setup then move the extender to its

69
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,560
final location after setup and for the best positioning of your extender tested

70
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:08,360
in multiple locations now what Cisco hasn't mentioned or linkis or Cisco I

71
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:13,960
don't know one of the two lynxis what lynxis hasn't mentioned about this

72
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:20,919
product is that it's imperative that you do not place it where the reception is

73
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,639
bad because if you take this device and

74
00:05:20,919 --> 00:05:25,680
let's say you want to have access in the garden and you put it in the garden

75
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:31,080
thinking that now it's going to like create a wireless signal doesn't work

76
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:33,440
that way you have this is Wireless

77
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:38,560
client so you have to put this where it's going to get good reception rather

78
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:44,000
than where it has bad reception already so I'm going to diagram this out for you

79
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:46,479
guys and I'm going to like find a pen

80
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:51,360
somewhere hold on hold on going to go find a pen and

81
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:53,880
the Slick over there is going to have a

82
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:59,639
closer look at uh the access point which is fascinating

83
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:04,800
okay so here's your house pardon my terrible drawing that's your house uh

84
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,240
this is your garage with your car in it

85
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:11,919
oh wow okay there you go with your car in it

86
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:16,360
and then on the second floor you have your wireless

87
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:20,199
router see that represents a wireless router that little box right there okay

88
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:23,840
so let's say this is the range of your wireless

89
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:31,759
router and you're in the garage and you're like rage face you know like

90
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:37,400
ah this kind of face okay because you can't quite reach so instead of putting

91
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,800
your extender right here where it's also

92
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:43,759
not going to have reception you want to throw your extender like over here like

93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,880
you know maybe at a window here or something like that so basically what

94
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:52,759
you're doing is you're taking that range and you're making it just a little bit

95
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:55,520
bigger that's the point so there you go

96
00:06:52,759 --> 00:07:01,360
