whats up guys its Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at the WD live wire now what this device does is it turns your pre-existing power connections in your household into a network it allows you to get internet over your power lines pretty crazy stuff now you're probably saying dude just get a Wi-Fi router haven't you heard about that yes I've heard about that in fact I got many of them but this is actually going to serve a very specific purpose for me my console my ps3 has been giving me issues on Wi-Fi it's almost out of reach and this is hopefully going to give me a more reliable connection using the power lines something closer to a wired connection now since my ps3 isn't anywhere near my router and I don't really feel like running a long-ass gigabit cable down there this is going to give me similar results with a lot less hassle plus it's going to give me four ports the equivalent of running for cables anyway let's talk about the unboxing here you see we got an installation disk I am NOT going to use that if I don't have to and here's our secondary box one box goes on each end of the connection so one near the router and one near the ps3 or whichever device you hope to connect and we also got a couple of power cables here after all we got to make this live wire live so here's one of those gigabit cables they look to be about three feet long we've got an on and off switch on each unit as well as four gigabit ethernet port so you can connect a bunch of devices on the other end and a sync button that I didn't have to use these things worked right out of the box i just plugged them in and that was it the live wire was alive we got some LED indicators on the front as well so this will give you guys a better idea of how it hooks up you put one end into the power connection near your router the other one near the device you want to hook up you cannot put it into a power bar it's got to go straight in the wall and then you connect your devices and bingo internet everywhere hopefully this thing works real well I'm obviously going to let you guys know if you got a console that's giving you issues on Wi-Fi this might be your solution as always guys thanks for watching and if you don't mind give like in a favorite after all it's those likes and favorites that help to promote me and that's what keeps his content coming you know the more fans I get no more I can make blah blah blah you heard it all anyway guys until next time see you around
