welcome to my unboxing of a pretty cool product this is the Amped Wireless high
0:12
power Wireless end 600 M gbit dualband
0:15
router the model number is actually r20,000 G designed in the US by amped
0:21
wireless so what is Amped Wireless well it's a dual band router
0:26
which allows you to share your broadband internet connectivity wirelessly over
0:29
extreme distance is very cool four high power amplifiers and two High Gain
0:34
antennas provide wall penetrating Wi-Fi
0:37
so this is a penetrating router simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz N600
0:43
dualband Wi-Fi speed so it is a simultaneous penetrating router we also
0:48
have a diagram of how it might be set up including a label of the Broadband modem
0:52
which is goes in sort of like here and then the wired connectivity that you
0:56
have here your low range you kness here and then your
1:00
range that goes like clear outside of the building that they have diagrammed
1:04
here so what is this ideal for up to 10,000 square ft so this should in
1:10
theory cover an entire large residential
1:14
property with usable Wireless signal very cool I great for large homes
1:19
offices and apparently even outside 2.45
1:22
GHz dual band okay range increase
1:26
guarantee and you can use a QR code to see their range increase guarantee free
1:29
free Wi-Fi Analytics tool available in the Android market that's kind of cool as well although there are free Wi-Fi
1:34
analytics tools they have three models so the differentiation generally comes
1:38
down to um you know I think one of them doesn't have gigabit actually weren the
1:44
okay was this the Good diagram I don't know um yeah basically it comes down to
1:49
speed they're all powerful they're not all dual band and then I think one of
1:53
them doesn't have gigabit ports yeah so that's the main thing right over here
1:58
you know what let's start getting it open for before we uh spend too much more time on the outside of the box so
2:02
key features extreme range Ultra powerful guest networks create up to
2:06
four guest Wi-Fi networks which is a lot more relevant when you can transmit your
2:11
Wi-Fi signal over 10,000 square ft share
2:14
it with your entire building um Wi-Fi coverage control you can adjust
2:19
the distance of your wireless network to make sure that it's not going further than you want it to parental SL secur
2:24
features oh look it's small too cool oh apparently this comes Prett rewired no
2:31
way so instead of including a setup guide which quite frankly you know has
2:36
been done to death they just connect it for you it's kind of unique uh sorry
2:41
moving right along it has qos so quality of service prioritizing your bandwidth
2:45
to eliminate leg for games VoIP and streaming gigabit networking powerful
2:49
processor for faster wired and wireless networking yes the processor in your
2:53
router does make a difference there's more to it than just specs and features
2:57
USB storage support so you can share files from USB storage device device
3:00
that is only for the high-end one as well if I recall correctly USB
3:05
port yep there it is Bam so dual
3:09
band USB and just sort of General awesomeness
3:14
okay so let's have a look at the way that they've set this up see I thought this was like you know I thought this
3:19
was like a special thing that they're doing cuz it's like an um a media unit
3:23
but here you go connect to PC connect to modem this is so simple
3:29
that my mom do it and they even include two different colors so like there's no
3:33
way to screw it up in fact I'm willing to bet they even just say like plug the
3:37
blue one into the thing from your internet service Prov that's awesome
3:42
okay well since we're already doing this anyway why don't we uh cover the rest of
3:46
the unit itself before we go into the documentation that's included so got a
3:51
couple things all right what did that say attach the antenna before connecting
3:55
the power adapter to this device oh okay so you want the antennas on here before
3:59
you actually turn her on okay that's good to know on the back of it we've got
4:05
our well I'm just going to move these because they're sort of in my way right
4:09
now but I still think it's coola power two antennas gigabit
4:15
Ethernet modem Port WPS so quick setup
4:18
reset switch and USB for storage soft touch finish on the top as
4:23
well as ventilation which I'm sure it needs more than most routers due to the
4:26
high power nature of it on the bottom we
4:30
find yeah all of your factory default settings bam IP address web login uh
4:35
login and password SSID security key
4:39
everything right there on the bottom very convenient because normally I would
4:43
actually write it all out and put it to the bottom myself lots of ventilation holes again on the bottom of the unit as
4:47
well as here at the back of the top and right on the top of
4:51
it
4:56

they talk performance comparison standard Wi-Fi
6:45
rotor high power dual band router and
6:48
standard Wi-Fi router output this router output so um standard
6:53
Wi-Fi router antennas wow this router so they're really emphasizing this whole
6:58
like uber high power thing and I can see why they would because
7:01
personally I'm far more excited about this than I am about things like range
7:06
extenders because yes I need more wireless coverage but I don't necessarily want the hassle of a bunch
7:11
of more devices so this is very cool I dropped the thing thank you for checking
