Oops. Okay, so today we've got the Minet N750. This is slightly higher end than the N600, meaning for your dualband speeds, you've got one 450 megabit per second stream and one 300 megabit per second stream, giving you a total of 750. And slightly lower end than the N900, which has two 450 megabit per second streams. This one also has gigabit ports, better range than the N600, and also has easy setup. Also has fasttrack streaming, fast track streaming, which I will go over in a moment. also supports full HD, which it bloody well better if it has gigabit and N750 and has 4 GB ports, which I already talked about. I Fasttrack HD entertainment. So, let's talk about what FastTrack does exactly. Fasttrack is profiles that WD builds into the lower-end routers, the N600 and the N750 that I was expecting him to come look at this while I sort of talk. There we go. Fasttrack basically is profiles that WD builds into the firmware that takes your frequently used games and applications and turns them into priorities. So instead of doing manual QoS, manual quality of service, which you do with most traditional routers, WD provides all the profiles. All you got to do is turn fasttrack on and it'll automatically prioritize things like Skype over, you know, your brother who's torrenting in the next room and you're like, \"I'm trying to talk to grandma.\" And he's like, \"I'm trying to play League of Legends.\" And you're like, \"No, I'm trying to talk to grandma.\" And you have these conversations and it's just pointless. It's stupid. Just get one of these. Then you don't have to worry about it anymore. It'll automatically prioritize. So, moving right along. Here's the help me choose things. So, the benefits, I kind of already covered this. So you get 4 GB ports versus the four fast Ethernet ports on the N600. You get two USB 2 ports. So WD is a storage company. They do want you to buy a hard drive to use with your Minet router in order to, you know, back things up and store all your data in one place, access it from wherever you want. If you get a compatible Western digital drive, such as a MyBook Live, you can actually even use your router as kind of an Apple time capsule replacement with Time Machine. although it's compatible with Windows utilities as well. Uh one, two, three step setup, 24/7 customer support, and this one is rated for multiple HD streams um over Wi-Fi. I mean, I think that's it's optimistic at the best of times. I think if you're getting one full HD stream over Wi-Fi over any kind of distance, you should probably be pretty happy. But who knows? I could be wrong. I'm just unboxing it now. I haven't actually sat down and tested it yet. Uh the Minet dashboard gives you a simple view of your essential settings, more access, remote access with WD to go. So these are apps that are available that you can use as well as the WD photos app. More simplicity. Okay. Easy to auto configure, advanced QoS. Yes, that's that fasttrack feature. Parental controls and internet security, network diagnostic tool, auto sensing port technology, and antenna amplifiers. So that's what makes this one higher range than the N600. In terms of included accessories, there's not a whole lot. There's a power brick. There's warranty as well as technical support. Phone numbers for you.
