WEBVTT 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.200 The unboxing ninja chooses his prey 00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:18.200 wisely 00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:25.600 and they fell. Oops. Okay, so today we've got the Minet N750. This is 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:29.840 slightly higher end than the N600, meaning for your dualband speeds, you've 00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:34.160 got one 450 megabit per second stream and one 300 megabit per second stream, 00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:39.040 giving you a total of 750. And slightly lower end than the N900, which has two 00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:44.640 450 megabit per second streams. This one also has gigabit ports, better range 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.520 than the N600, and also has easy setup. 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:50.640 Also has fasttrack streaming, fast track streaming, which I will go over in a 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:55.280 moment. also supports full HD, which it bloody well better if it has gigabit and 00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:57.520 N750 and has 4 GB ports, which I already 00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:02.079 talked about. I Fasttrack HD entertainment. So, let's talk about what 00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:07.520 FastTrack does exactly. Fasttrack is profiles that WD builds into the 00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:09.600 lower-end routers, the N600 and the N750 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. 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:18.159 Fasttrack basically is profiles that WD builds into the firmware that takes your 00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:24.159 frequently used games and applications and turns them into priorities. So 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.840 instead of doing manual QoS, manual quality of service, which you do with 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:31.040 most traditional routers, WD provides all the profiles. All you got to do is 00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:35.680 turn fasttrack on and it'll automatically prioritize things like 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:37.119 Skype over, you know, your brother who's 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:40.640 torrenting in the next room and you're like, "I'm trying to talk to grandma." 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 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 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:52.240 worry about it anymore. It'll automatically prioritize. So, moving 00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:55.360 right along. Here's the help me choose things. So, the benefits, I kind of 00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.000 already covered this. So you get 4 GB ports versus the four fast Ethernet 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 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 00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:12.319 know, back things up and store all your data in one place, access it from 00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:17.440 wherever you want. If you get a compatible Western digital drive, such 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:20.879 as a MyBook Live, you can actually even 00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:22.640 use your router as kind of an Apple time 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:26.560 capsule replacement with Time Machine. although it's compatible with Windows 00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:31.840 utilities as well. Uh one, two, three step setup, 24/7 customer support, and 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:36.480 this one is rated for multiple HD streams um over Wi-Fi. I mean, I think 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.400 that's it's optimistic at the best of times. I 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:44.080 think if you're getting one full HD stream over Wi-Fi over any kind of 00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:47.680 distance, you should probably be pretty happy. But who knows? I could be wrong. 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 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.040 the Minet dashboard gives you a simple view of your essential settings, more 00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:58.319 access, remote access with WD to go. So these 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 00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:06.319 simplicity. Okay. Easy to auto configure, advanced QoS. Yes, that's 00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:09.040 that fasttrack feature. Parental controls and internet security, network 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:13.200 diagnostic tool, auto sensing port technology, and antenna amplifiers. So 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:16.879 that's what makes this one higher range than the N600. In terms of included 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.720 accessories, there's not a whole lot. There's a power brick. There's warranty 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:24.800 as well as technical support. Phone numbers for you. There's a start here 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 00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:34.159 Ethernet port port. 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:38.480 An Ethernet port which you can plug this Ethernet cable into is what I meant to 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 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:46.720 power LED, your wireless LED, your wireless LED. Yes, wireless LED, your 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 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 00:03:52.959 --> 00:04:00.560 look good? Looks good. Yeah, Diesel's giving me the nod. Okay, so you've got 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:02.640 power switch, power in, 4 GB ports, 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:07.200 internet port, and then two storage ports, which is actually really cool. 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 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:15.280 personally totally believe in NAS storage. I'm a big NAS like guy. Uh, 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:19.919 this is a little basic for me. I actually have like some pretty high-end 00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:22.240 NAS stuff going on. But uh hey, if you 00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:26.000 don't have any network backup already, you will thank yourself if you throw a 00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:30.080 centralized backup on here next time a computer hard drive crashes or anything 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 00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:36.080 thank yourself. Plus, being able to access your files while you're on the go 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.680 on your tablet or your phone or whatever other device is very cool as well. So, 00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:43.759 thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the WD Minet N750. 00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:48.160 Don't forget to subscribe to Lions Tech Tips for unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos.
