welcome to my unboxing and first look at the dlink
0:11
d1320 this is an N300 wireless range
0:14
extender operates it up to 300 megabit per second gives you extended range it
0:18
is ready to use and features Advanced security so what do you need a wireless
0:23
range extender for well I would postulate that the reason you might be
0:27
looking for a wireless range extender is that you wish to feed your
0:36
llamas only the best grains grain-fed
0:39
llamas actually produce the best milk which according to my conversation
0:45
with slick earlier where I actually am not allowed to just make things up and
0:48
state them as fact uh may or may not be true I I actually don't know that it
0:52
isn't true but I don't know that it is true but I what what I know isn't true
0:57
is that you would be shopping for range extenders for anything that has anything
1:01
to do with unless your llamas needed wireless internet or if you needed internet in
1:07
yeah or if you needed internet while you're feeding the llamas then you might
1:10
need one of these so right right right right right right okay so how do you use
1:13
it easy push button setup so it uses WPS you press the WPS button on the router
1:18
then you press and hold the WPS button on the wireless range extender until the
1:21
LED indic indicator starts flashing then you release it then you're successfully
1:24
connected seriously okay well apparently it's that easy so there's a WPS button
1:29
on your router there's a WPS button on this guy right here it plugs right into
1:33
a wall outlet so you just press and hold that until the button I mean the button
1:36
won't do anything cuz it's not plugged into the wall but it'll do something if you plug it into the wall let's see if
1:41
this takes up the outlet next to it I'm very curious about this cuz that would
1:45
be aha it does not excellent love to see
1:49
that thoughtful design good work dink um
1:53
tip for positioning these wireless range extenders so the most important thing
1:57
guys is make sure you don't place it right at the very edge of your wireless
2:02
range because even if it does work the speed will be abysmal remember every
2:06
time you add a wireless range extender you are effectively cutting the amount
2:10
of bandwidth you have in half because it actually of that N300 it has it's got to
2:15
use half of it to communicate with you and the other half to communicate back to the router so you're not going to
2:20
have as much available speed when you use these but it does give you better
2:24
wireless coverage and I realized we forgot to
2:27
look at the included documentation documentation is good check it out they
2:31
include one of these little cards that tells you everything you need to know about your little wireless range
2:35
extender they give you a written offer for something sort seriously get out of
2:39
here uh quick install guide which is
2:42
basically covered already on the outside of the box but apparently they feel the
2:47
need to give you a much more complicated quick start guide uh which would
2:51
probably include instructions for not using WPS oh look at that they include
2:54
two little stickers you can put a little sticker on little guy look at this you
3:00
can put that there then you can know
3:04
stuff that's smart thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look
