00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:16.680
welcome to an unboxing of a product that I think probably like 80% of the people

00:00:13.799 --> 00:00:21.800
with a wireless network at home need even if they don't already know that

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:24.240
they need it this is the re1000 wireless

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:30.000
and range extender and now how many times at your house have you gone you

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:31.800
know sort of just out of range of your

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:37.840
wireless network like maybe you're sitting on the patio or maybe you're in

00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:40.000
your garage working on something and in

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:44.440
frustration you see that you've got like one bar of Wireless strength and then

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

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:54.079
you can't blame the wireless because you put so many obstacles like walls and

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:57.760
cars and small crying children in

00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:59.519
between your router and your device and

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:06.360
you're going to run into reception problems so this is from Cisco or link

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:08.840
CIS by Cisco I should say this is a way

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:12.920
to easily increase wireless network coverage throughout your home or

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:17.200
business or wherever you want wireless network coverage even in your car if you

00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:22.600
wanted to although it would only work when you're close to your router which

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:24.600
is at home okay home fine so 2.4 GHz

00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:28.400
band Ethernet Bridge Advance Security and easy setup The Cisco Advantage

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.799

warranty broad compatibility Works seamlessly with all BGN Wi-Fi devices

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

00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:50.119
work flexible placement all you do is plug into a wall outlet or desktop

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:54.399
placement options to optimize the okay cool uh easy setup we've talked about

00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:58.560
that push button security for Wi-Fi protected setup WPS fast Ethernet

00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:03.119
built-in and quality of service devillers smooth video and gaming

00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:07.240
performance awesome so here's a little diagram but let's talk about the diagram

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:10.520
after oh hold on ideal for enjoying added in home Mobility surfing the web

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:15.120
gaming and chatting online in hard to- reach areas and finally easily

00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:19.000
connecting to an internet Ready TV or Blu-ray player so let's open it

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:26.720
up unboxing quickly by lonus Tech tips

00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.720
okay so we find a

00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:35.560
bracket we find a power

00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:36.800
cord oh and it dropped okay got it nice

00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:43.040
long power cord look at this it's approximately one linest armspan in

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.319
length and then we have an Ethernet

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:49.599
cable which I will check the length for you as well with my convenient and easy

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:54.000
to replicate units of measurement let's see what shall I use

00:02:52.000 --> 00:03:00.360
as a unit of measurement today maybe I'll

00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:02.599
use H NC lanyard

00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:06.879
okay approximately how many NC lanyards long is this looks like about 3 and half

00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:13.799
ncx lanyards in length for that particular Ethernet cable also known as

00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:15.239
6 ft no 4T okay I'm not even going to

00:03:13.799 --> 00:03:19.640
try and guess in real units of measurement not that I really consider

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:24.599
imperial units to be real units of measurement but you know that's a whole

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:27.760
other argument um here we have the

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:29.280
actual Wireless and range extender unit

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:34.760
itself you got a little illuminated Cisco logo right about there you've got

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

00:03:36.920 --> 00:03:44.239
guy right here you throw it right

00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:45.720
here there you go and then you are

00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:51.040
plugging that into the wall and that's your range extender there's your WPS

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

00:03:53.200 --> 00:04:02.680
the bottom of the unit there is your 10100 fast Ethernet port and

00:03:59.959 --> 00:04:06.640
if you do not want to use that option you can also throw this guy on

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:41.639
a little bit easier in terms of configuration for this guy uh avoid

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:46.639
placing the extender ah here tips for successful setup so this is what I was

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:48.440
just about to talk to or talk about

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:52.160
avoid placing the extender or Associated rou or access point near metal objects

00:04:49.880 --> 00:04:56.039
reflective surfaces and masonry walls okay place the extender close to the

00:04:54.039 --> 00:05:00.120
router or access point during initial setup then move the extender to its

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:04.560
final location after setup and for the best positioning of your extender tested

00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:08.360
in multiple locations now what Cisco hasn't mentioned or linkis or Cisco I

00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:13.960
don't know one of the two lynxis what lynxis hasn't mentioned about this

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:20.919
product is that it's imperative that you do not place it where the reception is

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:22.639
bad because if you take this device and

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

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:31.080
thinking that now it's going to like create a wireless signal doesn't work

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:33.440
that way you have this is Wireless

00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:38.560
client so you have to put this where it's going to get good reception rather

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

00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:46.479
guys and I'm going to like find a pen

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:51.360
somewhere hold on hold on going to go find a pen and

00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:53.880
the Slick over there is going to have a

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:59.639
closer look at uh the access point which is fascinating

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:04.800
okay so here's your house pardon my terrible drawing that's your house uh

00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:06.240
this is your garage with your car in it

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:11.919
oh wow okay there you go with your car in it

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:16.360
and then on the second floor you have your wireless

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:20.199
router see that represents a wireless router that little box right there okay

00:06:18.280 --> 00:06:23.840
so let's say this is the range of your wireless

00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:31.759
router and you're in the garage and you're like rage face you know like

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:37.400
ah this kind of face okay because you can't quite reach so instead of putting

00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.800
your extender right here where it's also

00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:43.759
not going to have reception you want to throw your extender like over here like

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:47.880
you know maybe at a window here or something like that so basically what

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

00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:55.520
bigger that's the point so there you go

00:06:52.759 --> 00:07:01.360
thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look and positioning guide on
