so today guys I have a bit of a project and that is the unboxing of what may be the lightest box that I have unboxed today this is the Linksys AE 2500 dual band wireless end USB adapter so what is dual band good for that is a question that I have actually never been asked in any way shape or form but I'm going to answer it anyway because that is a question that I actually had at one point in time before I knew what dual band was good for so dual band can mean a couple of different things so there's dual band which means 2.4 gigahertz and 5 gigahertz this router or adapter sort of you know one or the other can operate either on the higher frequency or on this lower frequency and that is to get away from interference of other devices that operate on those frequencies such as say for example in the case of 2.4 gigahertz cordless phones for example that's an example for you but there's also concurrent dual band concurrent dual band allows you to use both of those frequencies at the same time in order to transfer more data so this isn't concurrent dual band this is dual band so 2.4 gigahertz or 5 gigahertz dual band 300 megabit per second so that is how many lanes of data transfer there are on a given band not that you're actually using more bands ok and then we've got superior range advanced security and easy setup so easy setup is something I've pretty much come to expect from Cisco Linksys products at this time we did setup their range extender a little while ago and that was very easy this one comes with a wireless adapter subsidy you know what I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna say don't throw this away especially if you're not an advanced user this is actually pretty handy and does make setting up the device very very simple so you're still gonna want to grab the latest drivers from the Linksys website but just for the for the initial setup this is not a bad way to go so this is the AE 2500 which includes run CD first a warning and an adapter and it's a USB network adapter made by Linksys and/or cisco depending on how you prefer to look at it if you know what I don't know what else to tell you guys here because it is a USB wireless adapter and it is aha maybe we'll talk about this hold on where are they I'm sure I have them somewhere wait for it come with me here we go ha it is designed in a matching style to go with and match your other Linksys by cisco routers and products that are wireless and look good with them and have a similar finish so over here check this out see how we have a similar finish on our USB adapter as we have on our cisco router so this is the e 4200 which is their high-end dual band 4 50 megabit router this is not this is not for a 50 megabit but it is dual band but if I recall correctly that guy is concurrent so hold on a second nope just do that not concurrent yes simultaneous ok so yeah that one is concurrent this one is not concurrent thank you for checking out my unboxing of the ae 2500 don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
