are you filming yes and welcomes and linus tech tip show where we are not going to be unboxing for separate routers we are actually going to be doing one router this one this is Western Digital's almost well no this is their flagship brother this is the my net n900 which is apparently about effortless entertainment okay that's good that's good I know what do you mean by that and I will explain but it's a very cryptic thing to put on the front of the box after this entertainment I'm putting effort into it already I have to open the bag not effortless I'm not entertained at all it's ridiculous false advertising bait bait and switch bait and switch it's what customers love to say bait and switch whatever something's wrong okay 450 + 450 megabit dual-band concurrent performance which gives you that n900 rating HD dual band router okay got it this is the best range out of their lineup features 123 easy setup full 1080p and it better seven gigabit ports this is cool why hasn't anyone done this the home is so connected now why does everyone make you like where I put it I had a switch here why does everyone make you buy their like switch separately and give you only four ports on your router Thank You western digital for providing an adequate number of ports on your high performance router multi HD streams and the most important thing about this router fast-track plus so fast track class is basically w DS proprietary qos that's quality of service that dynamically analyzes the traffic coming in and out of your router looks at it and goes with it that traffic is sort of like shaped like this that's probably a game I'm going to prioritize that over something else is less important like that's torrent traffic actually does not rely on any manual input from the user it does not rely on any profiles written by WD to prioritize certain applications which is the case for the two lower end routers the minus six hundred and the 750 and it also doesn't require any updates to continue to dynamically update itself to provide the best quality of service it can without any input from the user that's what they mean by effortless and it's not really effortless I mean I had to take this thing out of the box and I have to feel the plastic off the top it's like a job I mean this is my job but you know whatever you guys get the point okay so let's have a look at what WDS to say for themselves more access so you can connect w DS my book live storage to this with up to two USB ports one USB 3 port cool for remote access with their w/e to go and WD photos applications more control the minor dashboard okay so this is just your their branding for controlling your router more simplicity supports upnp and auto configuration good okay more HD is fast track plus very good awesome more advanced features k we've been through this parental controls out of sensing antenna amplifiers right so this one has the best range out of their range ha of routers and you can see that they have it positioned as being just like do Burris in every possible way so the velvet push button WPS set up ipv6 they are all ready for it and as we're all look it's dead to DLNA server so you can actually use this as a media server on your home network and well access your media that you've store on your WD hard drive that you attach to it which is a convenient way for them to sell you more hard drives which I don't inherently object to because it makes the product better so why not and it's not like they're forcing you to it's not like they include a hard drive with it and you know sell it to you for more like this one which we'll talk about later okay all right let's have a look at the physicality of the unit there's your power LED your wireless LED your internet led your WPS LED and your WPS button who's your matte finish on the top which has like more of a performance pattern on it compared to the other ones which are just solid mat and there's your shiny outlines okay there's your power button DC in two USB ports seven Gigabit Ethernet ports again kudos WD way to go way to figure out what no one else could that like you know forty cents an extra ethernet ports might actually make a difference to your customers there's your rampart so that's your internet port there is all it has a cooling fan that better be quiet I really hope that's only enabled like out of under heavy load there's your reset switch from there's your ventilation holes so this looks like an exhaust so as long as you have this sound like this or wall-mounted it does come with flexible mounting options and you shouldn't have any scenario trouble with that included accessories include include the inclusion of a technical support and limited warranty guide we start here guide with simple steps for people who don't know how to set up a router I do you know how our cable and an Ethernet cable thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the minded n900
