00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:14.240
Welcome to another unboxing. This is the Zeil media router and I don't think

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:21.279
that's the whole name of it. So, we're going to call go with their proper name, which is the

00:00:18.119 --> 00:00:24.480
NBG5715. It is blazingly fast. It has

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:26.320
concurrent dualband wireless N 450

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.400
megabit per second which to my understanding is actually a first with

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:35.360
this particular router. So you can simultaneously stream HD movies, play

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:36.719
online games, and web surf. Okay, that's

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:41.600
pretty much part of the course for a wireless router. I should certainly hope you can do all those things. Net USB

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:47.120
allows you to share printers and storage wirelessly, which is very cool. All

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.719
right, gigabit, net USB, 2.4 and 5 GHz.

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:55.199
Okay, we've got all of that going on. Let's see what they've got to say for themselves on the back. So, uh, beam

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:58.879
forming supports ex support extends effective wireless coverage. Okay.

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:04.320
Quality of service enhances gaming and multimedia streaming. Okay. And five

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:05.920
IPSecVPN tunnels secure data transfer.

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:10.479
Fascinating. So, that's something that I haven't seen as a called out spec on a

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:15.200
consumer level router um, ever. So, there you are. Wireless

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:19.119
scheduling allows energy savings. So you can turn off your wireless when you're,

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:22.799
you know, at home but sleeping, for example, or when you don't want your

00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:26.960
kids surfing the net at 4 in the morning or whatever the case may be. So let's go

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:31.200
ahead and pull this guy open and have a look at what we've got inside the box.

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:36.799
So the first thing is a declaration of conformity, which I'm not particularly

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:40.880
interested in. Okay, next we have a utility, users guide, quick start guide,

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:45.840
Acrobat Reader, and project product registration CD.

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:49.840
Next, we have a warranty card. So, let's see how long the warranty is. Uh, we

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.880
take great pride in our quality, value, and performance and believe this product

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:57.040
should offer you trouble-free operation throughout its

00:01:54.119 --> 00:02:02.159
lifetime. And it doesn't actually say how long the lifetime should

00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:03.640
be. Fascinating. For further

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.719
information, visit zel.com/warranty. So, you can go ahead

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.000
and do that if you care that much. Hardware installation. So, this is

00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:13.280
apparently a quick start guide. Uh, yes, it says quick start guide at the top. So

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:19.599
they show you how to put the antennas on, how to plug in the wan lan wan lan

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.440
wan lawn, I don't know DC in, how to

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:26.160
plug in the power, okay, how to plug in USB to either a printer or in some cases

00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:30.360
a storage device if you want to go ahead and have a network store device uh which

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:34.239
is just a USB not powered but it has a USB

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.360
interface to your router and then you can use that as a network share. Okay,

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:43.599
we have a WPS setup. How to do that? All right. Wow, this thing is

00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:47.040
huge. This is one of the bigger routers that I've seen in quite a while. So,

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.800
let's go ahead and I'll take the router out, but we're not going to look closely

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:56.519
at that just yet. So, let's pull out all of the

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.879
included accessories and whatnots

00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:02.879
first. By the way, we have a trial cameraman here today. So, uh you know,

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:07.640
feel free to leave your comments on the uh on the YouTube comments. Let me know

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:10.319
what you think. you know, good,

00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:13.280
terrible, adequate. All right, we've got three included antennas. So, I'm going

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:20.720
to go ahead and actually I'm not going to put those on yet because I'm going to take the plastic layer off first. This

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.480
has kind of a neat neat look to it. I

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:27.440
mean, I' I've never really believed that the router should be like a a fashion

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.959
statement, but if it has to not if it, you know, has to not look stupid or you

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:33.599
have to see it, then it might as well, you know, look kind of look kind of

00:03:32.239 --> 00:03:38.560
different. So, there you go. It has kind of a wavy finish to it. The insides are

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:42.080
kind of matte and then the top is sort of glossy. Actually, this is glossy,

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:47.440
too. Let's see how fingerprint resistant it is. Actually, that's not bad. So,

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:51.440
it's got a bit of sort of smearage going on. But the good news, or bad news, I

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:55.760
don't know. I'm about to find out, is that it comes off really easily and doesn't scratch too easily. Because a

00:03:54.239 --> 00:03:59.920
lot of the time these glossy finishes, especially on routers, I had one router

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:03.360
that had a black glossy finish on it and literally you went like this and it was

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:10.200
like the whole thing was just scratched up just from your fingers. Okay, so

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:12.239
we've got uh that must be

00:04:10.200 --> 00:04:15.599
WPS. Wow, there's a bunch of different stuff. Okay, so you can turn the lights

00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:21.519
on and off. You can turn the wireless on and off. So that it's a nice dedicated

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:24.400
button to have there. Okay, we've got

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.960
our USB ports. So, two of those. I'm going to You know what? Give me a sec

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.840
here, guys, cuz I'm going to need a minute to find out what all these buttons do. I don't think I've seen this

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:36.880
many buttons on a consumer router ever. Okay, we figured it out. Here's WPS.

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:41.199
This is wireless on. This is light on or light off. On the other side, these

00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:45.520
probably are prompting it to look for something on the USB port. Okay, we've

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:50.400
got a power switch at the back. DC power in. We have 4 GB LAN ports. And then we

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:53.840
have our WAN port. We've also got a reset switch. So, there's your hard

00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:56.800
reset. And I'm just going to go ahead and throw these on. In terms of the

00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:02.759
other included accessories, there's not a whole lot. There's just a power adapter, which is just your standard

00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:05.120
wall wart, as well as a yellow Ethernet

00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:08.479
cable. Very styling, of course. Oh, goldplated connectors, too. Look at

00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:13.039
that. All right. So, we'll go ahead and throw this on here. I actually don't

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:17.039
mind the overall layout of this. It's very unconventional. So, it kind of sits

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:21.120
like this on the desk, and it doesn't appear that there is a way to remove the

00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:25.840
bottom stand. Um, so yeah, so it sits on the desk like

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:30.560
that and then all of the cables plug in from the back. So thank you for checking

00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:34.080
out this unboxing and first look at the

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.360
Zeissel NBG 5715 media router. Don't
