1 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,200 The unboxing ninja chooses his prey 2 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,200 wisely 3 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:25,600 and they fell. Oops. Okay, so today we've got the Minet N750. This is 4 00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:29,840 slightly higher end than the N600, meaning for your dualband speeds, you've 5 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:34,160 got one 450 megabit per second stream and one 300 megabit per second stream, 6 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:39,040 giving you a total of 750. And slightly lower end than the N900, which has two 7 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:44,640 450 megabit per second streams. This one also has gigabit ports, better range 8 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,520 than the N600, and also has easy setup. 9 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,640 Also has fasttrack streaming, fast track streaming, which I will go over in a 10 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,280 moment. also supports full HD, which it bloody well better if it has gigabit and 11 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:57,520 N750 and has 4 GB ports, which I already 12 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:02,079 talked about. I Fasttrack HD entertainment. So, let's talk about what 13 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:07,520 FastTrack does exactly. Fasttrack is profiles that WD builds into the 14 00:01:04,479 --> 00:01:09,600 lower-end routers, the N600 and the N750 15 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:14,479 that I was expecting him to come look at this while I sort of talk. There we go. 16 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:18,159 Fasttrack basically is profiles that WD builds into the firmware that takes your 17 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:24,159 frequently used games and applications and turns them into priorities. So 18 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,840 instead of doing manual QoS, manual quality of service, which you do with 19 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,040 most traditional routers, WD provides all the profiles. All you got to do is 20 00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:35,680 turn fasttrack on and it'll automatically prioritize things like 21 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,119 Skype over, you know, your brother who's 22 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,640 torrenting in the next room and you're like, "I'm trying to talk to grandma." 23 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,720 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 24 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,240 you have these conversations and it's just pointless. It's stupid. Just get one of these. Then you don't have to 25 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,240 worry about it anymore. It'll automatically prioritize. So, moving 26 00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:55,360 right along. Here's the help me choose things. So, the benefits, I kind of 27 00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,000 already covered this. So you get 4 GB ports versus the four fast Ethernet 28 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:05,119 ports on the N600. You get two USB 2 ports. So WD is a storage company. They 29 00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:08,560 do want you to buy a hard drive to use with your Minet router in order to, you 30 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:12,319 know, back things up and store all your data in one place, access it from 31 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:17,440 wherever you want. If you get a compatible Western digital drive, such 32 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,879 as a MyBook Live, you can actually even 33 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,640 use your router as kind of an Apple time 34 00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:26,560 capsule replacement with Time Machine. although it's compatible with Windows 35 00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:31,840 utilities as well. Uh one, two, three step setup, 24/7 customer support, and 36 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,480 this one is rated for multiple HD streams um over Wi-Fi. I mean, I think 37 00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:40,400 that's it's optimistic at the best of times. I 38 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,080 think if you're getting one full HD stream over Wi-Fi over any kind of 39 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:47,680 distance, you should probably be pretty happy. But who knows? I could be wrong. 40 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:52,080 I'm just unboxing it now. I haven't actually sat down and tested it yet. Uh 41 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,040 the Minet dashboard gives you a simple view of your essential settings, more 42 00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:58,319 access, remote access with WD to go. So these 43 00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:02,480 are apps that are available that you can use as well as the WD photos app. More 44 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,319 simplicity. Okay. Easy to auto configure, advanced QoS. Yes, that's 45 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,040 that fasttrack feature. Parental controls and internet security, network 46 00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:13,200 diagnostic tool, auto sensing port technology, and antenna amplifiers. So 47 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,879 that's what makes this one higher range than the N600. In terms of included 48 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,720 accessories, there's not a whole lot. There's a power brick. There's warranty 49 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:24,800 as well as technical support. Phone numbers for you. There's a start here 50 00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:32,080 which has steps for Mac, steps for Windows as well as a disc as well as an 51 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,159 Ethernet port port. 52 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:38,480 An Ethernet port which you can plug this Ethernet cable into is what I meant to 53 00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:42,080 say. All right, let's have a look at the physicality of the router. There's your 54 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:46,720 power LED, your wireless LED, your wireless LED. Yes, wireless LED, your 55 00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:50,560 internet LED, and your WPS LED. There's your button for that. On the top, it's 56 00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:54,720 sort of matte and sort of shiny. It's actually got kind of a nice look to it. Can you see that in the camera? Does it 57 00:03:52,959 --> 00:04:00,560 look good? Looks good. Yeah, Diesel's giving me the nod. Okay, so you've got 58 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,640 power switch, power in, 4 GB ports, 59 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:07,200 internet port, and then two storage ports, which is actually really cool. 60 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:11,120 And again, WD is a storage company. They want you to like get more storage. And I 61 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:15,280 personally totally believe in NAS storage. I'm a big NAS like guy. Uh, 62 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,919 this is a little basic for me. I actually have like some pretty high-end 63 00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:22,240 NAS stuff going on. But uh hey, if you 64 00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:26,000 don't have any network backup already, you will thank yourself if you throw a 65 00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:30,080 centralized backup on here next time a computer hard drive crashes or anything 66 00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:33,120 bad happens and you need to recover some data off of it. You will, yes, you'll 67 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,080 thank yourself. Plus, being able to access your files while you're on the go 68 00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:39,680 on your tablet or your phone or whatever other device is very cool as well. So, 69 00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:43,759 thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the WD Minet N750. 70 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:48,160 Don't forget to subscribe to Lions Tech Tips for unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos.
