what's up everyone today we're taking a look at the Linksys wrt54g an unboxing taking a look at some of its features that stand out and so yeah without any further ado let's take a look at the box so right here it says wrt 32x gaming router and they have collaborated with Alienware gigabyte msi and razer to implement the so-called killer prioritization engine into their devices so let's say the Alienware pcs get that the gigabyte motherboards get that the msi laptops and motherboards etc get that and the razer laptops and hardware as well now the first thing that you'll notice is this does not have the kid you know twelve year old minecraftgamer look with a black and red scheme everywhere it's just a very very subtle looking router which I prefer a lot no it's not RGB it's not anything crazy that is on the outside however it's got some very serious specifications and features on the inside of which we will take a look at in the review so without any further ado let's get the wrapping out try not to destroy the box here now while I'm unboxing this I do want to say that if there are any special features or things that you would like me to take a look at in the review specifically please do not hesitate to leave those in the comment section down below and I'll make sure to check that out so with the wrapping off we'll take a look at the backside and here they're talking about the killer prioritization engine and what that does we'll get into that later and to actually benefit from this feature you have to have a killer and naval PC and I'm sure there are a website that lists all of those compatible pcs so if you want to know if your PC is supported take a look at that on Google maybe so let's stop talking and get right into the box oh and right here it says reduce lag lower ping prioritized gaming all right it's got this magnetic thing here and there is the router very beautifully presented with this phone up here to protect it I like that you know as I said it doesn't have the gamer aesthetic instead it's just very subtle very restrained it's not it's not in-your-face which I do very much like now let's take a look at the i/o before continuing this unboxing you'll see these gold contact points around the router which is the points of which you connect the antennas to right here you have got some Ethernet ports right here is where you connect your internet coming from your wall or whatever and you've got some USB ports here this is USB 3.0 this port right here is actually very interesting if the combined USB and eSATA port which I've actually never seen before so yes you have got to use piece but this could also be used as an eSATA port maybe to connect an external hard drive and have that act as a nice hard drive on your network very cool stuff right here you've got the 12 volt DC powering and you have got your power switch and some more contact points for the antennas now right up here you will have some blue lights as you can see on this box right here that tell you what kind of features are on if for example Internet is connected properly if you have got both the 2.4 and the 5 gigahertz bands connected and running and also lastly if it realizes that you have connected a USB or an eSATA port or device into it this will light up as well to indicate that the same goes with these 4 Ethernet ports there you go very subtle design I like that now let's put this to the side and you are immediately greeted with your Quick Start Guide this being in an actually high-quality I like that it's got color not just a boring cheap looking one you'll see that you'll see your wireless network ID and the password and now I'm gonna change that later which you can do when you're going to the my router dot local in your web browser and then you can set that up via a PC or even a phone I think now right here are the aforementioned antennas of which you are supposed to connect to the gold points right there if you lift this up I do think you'll so you'll get your power adapter yes here is your power adapter and here is an Ethernet cable simple stuff you got some CD / DVD documentation I don't think there's anything below this nope and there is that so now let's take a look at this router and some of its features that stand out from the crowd the first one being the aforementioned killer prioritization engine or for short the KPE engine or KP and as I said that prioritizes gaming packets on the network to give you a better ping supposedly however you can also go into your routers control panel and set the prioritization to do the same thing as it does on gaming to let's say YouTube or Skype to help you with those things as well so that I will be testing thoroughly to make sure that their points are actually valid in terms of specifications it's got four high-performance and ten which as they say ensures optimal coverage and maximum signal strength even in large multi-story buildings all right it's got a 1.8 gigahertz dual core central processing units that being CPU which in their words promotes simultaneous high speed data processing it's got the latest wireless AC technology for simultaneously streaming and gaming on multiple devices that being AC of course it's got the simultaneous dual band connections those being 2.4 and 5 gigahertz bands which do give is stronger a connection at a wider range it's of course also got the normal advanced wireless security features like wpa2 encryption and it's also got an SPI firewall now as per their website they say it's built exclusively for gaming we'll test that out it's supposed to lower your peak ping up to 77 percent with an asterisk we'll take a look at that later it's not a very modern and as they say powerful interface for ultimate control over Wi-Fi traffic we'll take a look at that later as well but here are some screenshots of it looks pretty cool it's DFS certified it's designed to dominate yeah these are marketing terms but we will take a look at these later in the review to make sure that those actually stand up and work well in real life but as per this page and as per their box and as per the router itself I do think it looks like a very solid router it does have a very steep price tag however of $300 which I guess is fine if you need all these features but otherwise I would recommend looking at something else a bit cheaper so without any rambling on we will do that in the review video which comes out in a couple of weeks instead let's end this review if you like what you saw if you would like me to do more unboxings let me know by commenting down below and liking this video subscribing if you haven't already and I will see you guys in the next video peace
