ASUS EA-N66 Multi Function Wireless Network Adapter Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2012-07-20
welcome to my unboxing of a very versatile networking adapter from a soos and an impenetrable box okay we'll figure though that's why I have my trusty D box of fighting knife I'm gonna stop calling them unboxings and I'm gonna call them D box of Fighting's it won't be as good of a search keyword but I think you guys will sort of you know support me on this so here's all the stuff that's included a bunch of stuff in there bunch of boxes here it's like a pyramid it goes like that it's like this power thing and then there's like a crotch shot which switch is apparently going for here and no I'm just kidding you weren't going for the stock shot if you were you just succeeded and I'm not saying it would have been a bad thing okay so what is special about this three different functions one it can act as a network adapter so the way you'll do that is you go okay I need wireless networking you know we're gonna do like real world examples of this as we go so I need a wireless adapter so I'm gonna like plug this Ethernet cable in and then I'm gonna like oh yeah plug it in a little bit better than that so it doesn't fall out there we go and I'll plug in the power and then what you do is you pair it with your router using WPS and then you plug it in via ethernet to something that you need to have wireless network connectivity boom Ethernet our wireless network adapter okay functionality number two is as a range extender so if you want to use it as a range extender I'm sure there's some kind of configuration you'll need to do it's there's a QuickStart guide so you know what we're not gonna get too far into that you follow the instructions and then you won't need an Ethernet adapter probably once you finish the setup but you just take the power and the pyramid you go wherever it is you need a wireless range extender don't forget guys don't place a wireless range extender on the very outside of your wireless range like it if this is your wireless router right here and it's got a range of bits you put your range extender oh whatever don't worry about it you put your range extender here as opposed to like right at the edge where it won't get a very good signal that makes sense because that way it has a good signal to the router and then it can extend the range from there okay functionality number three is if you have an existing router that doesn't have a very good wireless access point you can use this as an access point so you can add wireless functionality to a router that doesn't have it just by plugging this in via one of the switch ports on the router and you're done so maybe this is the kind of thing that you're looking at going okay well I don't need one of these at all oh it's duel bad 450 megabit per second just so you guys know what's part let's say maybe you're looking at it going well I don't need one of those right now but if I ever did need wireless anything this is probably the handiest way to augment my network in whatever way I could possibly need so these are extremely popular now that I've said what I want to say about it let's have a look at what a seuss things so patented three point orthogonal antenna and high power amplifier for hand signal strength cool easy user interface ultra-fast gdb that all needs so it has Gigabit Ethernet so you can actually take advantage of that for 50 megabit per second fast wireless network strong 2.4 dual-band ok WPS one-button setup cool cool Gigabit Ethernet port powerful said oK we've covered this already and onto the back so they've got a high Universal range extender access point and Ethernet adapter so very very very cool patented antenna design for best signal 5 gigahertz signal for liquid okay so this is a lot of repetition on this box here but I think we've pretty much covered it so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the EAN 66 from Asus don't forget to subscribe to my this tech tips from our unboxings reviews and other computer videos
