 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at a router that's far cooler than it at first appears to be. At first, you look at it and you go, oh, they took a router and they put ears on it. It must have been made in Japan. Buffalo happens to be a Japanese company. Okay, moving right along though, this is the WZR600DHP. This is a high power, so they're going for extra, well, power for enhanced signal strength and performance. Dual band simultaneous 300 plus 300 megabit per second, which honestly is as fast as any of your devices at this point anyway. Gigabit ethernet, okay, for maximum wired speed, multi-platform, blah blah blah blah blah. Ah, right there, bam. Actually, there's a better logo. Double bam. DDWRT. So, this router is a high powered router that is, hold on. Slick was complaining his camera work isn't good enough to compensate for the reflective wrapping. So, there you go. DDWRT logo. It also is ready for BitTorrent, Wi-Fi protected setup, Wi-Fi and whatever that is. So, DDWRT is a third party firmware that allows you to unlock additional functionality and features on what would otherwise be a stock router. So, by calling out the DDWRT-ness of this router, they have actually effectively said, look, this is compatible with what is widely regarded to be the best third party firmware out there. It has these high powered sort of features that are cute and adorable and it's not that expensive. So, what else is there to really say? Ah, little bands, this, this. Okay, this was their AC router. So, this falls below an AC router in terms of the performance but is, and a little bit behind sort of the 450 megabit per second stuff on wireless N, but honestly, you'd never really notice the difference between wireless N300 and 450 on, for example, your iPad because your iPad doesn't even support 450 and I think a lot of devices are going to get support for AC and skip 450 entirely because it's just my personal opinion. So, if I was looking for something very customizable that, again, is extremely cute, you know, Japanese, this might be what I go for. So, I'm going to get this assembled and de-wrapified and we'll be back in a moment. Reset buttons located on the bottom of the router. There's also a handy indicator for how to install the stand. There you go. Okay, maybe I didn't do it right. Give me a sec. Ah, there we go. Okay, to install the stand, you've also got movie engine on and off. So, I guess that's probably just a QoS feature. Diagnostic, router, these are the two bands, 2.4 gigahertz and 5 gigahertz power. There's your Wi-Fi protected setup. Okay, cool stuff. Oh, shoot, I forgot. I was trying to avoid touching the shiny set. Oh, that's not bad. That's actually surprisingly, can you tell that the fingerprints aren't that bad on there? Wow. Usually, I see, okay, guys, I see surfaces like this and then I'm like, oh, that means I can never ever touch it. But this is actually, okay, now let's see if it gets scratched when I wipe it off because that's the other mark of death for shiny stuff. Yeah, it gets micro scratches when you wipe it. But realistically, you should be hiding this under a table somewhere anyway. So, I guess if you're that fussy about it, then, oh, that came off again. Okay, the point of this is the firmware and the power, guys. Moving right along, you can turn the router on, off or auto. So that makes this easy to use as just a wireless access point. It has a hardware switch for turning that off. Very handy. Okay, USB eject, USB port for storage, as well as four gigabit ports, your WAN port and your power in. In terms of accessories, we've got Buffalo's characteristic flat ethernet cable. Do like, see, that's a heart right there. We've also got a power adapter. It comes on the wrapper with the SSID as well as the key that are initially set up as well as the information you need. So put this somewhere safe just in case you forget and you don't know how to use Google to look it up. I mean, well, no, you can know how to use Google, but it's not always convenient. Ah, screws to hold this on. There we go. See, they thought of this. Someone at some point was like, no, no, it doesn't stay on. Screws. Done deal. All right. And go away. They actually, huh. So there's like different, there's different feature checklists depending on the, whether you use the stock firmware or the DDWRT firmware. There's a setup guide as well as a warranty statement. Thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at what's actually a pretty cool looking router. It's got these things. See, it looks like many years.

You can hold it like this part. You can be like. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
