2012-10-31
the unboxing ninja chooses his prey wisely and they fell okay so today we've got the my net and 750 this is slightly higher than the n 600 meaning for your dual band speeds you've got one for 50 megabit per second stream and one 300 megabits per second stream giving you a total of 750 and slightly lower end than the n900 which has two four hundred and fifty megabit per second streams this one also has gigabit ports better range than the N 600 and also has easy setup also has fast track streaming fast track streaming which I will go over in a moment also supports Full HD which is bloody well better it has Gigabit and 750 and has four gigabit ports which I already talked about I fast track HD entertainment so let's talk about what fast track does exactly fast track is profiles that WD builds into the lower end routers the end 600 and the N 750 that I was expecting him to come look at this while I'm there we go fast track basically is profiles that WD builds into the firmware that takes your frequently used gains and applications and turns them into priorities so instead of doing manual ki OS manual quality of service which you do with most traditional routers WD provides all the profiles all you gotta do is turn fast track on and it'll automatically prioritize things like Skype over you know your brother who's torrenting in the next room you're like I'm trying to talk to Grandma he's like I'm trying to play League of Legends and you're like no I'm trying to talk to grandma and you have these conversations it's just pointless it's stupid just get one of these then you'll have to worry about it anymore it'll automatically prioritize so moving right along here's the help me choose things so the benefits I can already covered this you get four gigabit ports versus the four Fast Ethernet ports on the end 600 you get two USB two parts so WD is a storage company they do want you to buy a hard drive to use with your mind net router in order to you know back things up and store your data in one place access it from wherever you want if you get a compatible Western Digital drive such as a my book life you can actually even use your router as kind of an apple time capsule replacement with time machine although it's compatible with Windows utilities as well one two three steps set up 24/7 customer support and this one is rated for multiple HD streams over Wi-Fi I mean I think that's it's optimistic at the best of times I think if you're getting one full HD stream over Wi-Fi over any kind of distance you should probably be pretty happy but who knows that could be wrong I'm just unboxing it now I haven't actually sat down and tested it yet the mind of dashboard gives you a simple view if your essential settings more access when you do remote access with WD to go so these are apps that are available that you can use as well as the WD Photos app more simplicity okay easy to auto configure advanced queue or less yes that's that fast-track feature parental controls an internet security network diagnostic tool Auto sensing port technology and internet amplifiers so that's what makes this one higher range than the n 600 in terms of included accessories there's not a whole lot there the power brick there's warranty as well as technical support phone numbers for you there's a start here which has steps for Mac steps for Windows as well as a disk as well as an Ethernet port an Ethernet port which you can plug this Ethernet cable into what I meant to say alright let's have a look at the physicality of the router there's your power LED or wireless LED or wireless LED yes wireless LED your internet LED and your WPS LED there's your for that on the top it's sort of matte and sort of shiny it's actually got kind of a nice look to it can you see that the camera doesn't look good looks good yeah diesels giving me the nod okay so you've got power switch power in four gigabit ports internet port and then to storage ports which is actually really cool and again WD is a storage company they want you to like get more storage and I personally totally believe in that storage I'm a big nas like dye this is a little basic for me I actually have like some pretty high-end ass stuff going on but hey if you don't have any network backup already you will thank yourself if you throw a centralized backup on here next time a computer hard drive crashes or anything bad happens you need to recover some bait off of it you'll will yes will break yourself plus being able to access your files while you're on the go on your tablet or your phone or whatever other device is very cool as well so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the WD my net and 750 don't forget to subscribe Klein's technique for unboxings reviews and other computer videos
