Was it about a year ago?

Is a little while ago when we moved into this new studio space, this large space, we were looking for an upgrade to our Internet, Our coverage, our speed and so on amplify happen to reach out to sponsor a video at that time, Give us the fastest Internet that we had seen up until that point.

We'll, of course, they've been working in the background to improve the equipment that they've got.

This is their new product, the amplified alien.

So when we were looking for the next upgrade, this was the perfect partnership is now powered by WiFi six technology, and we have several devices in the studio that can actually take advantage of that, including the latest Galaxy note, as well as the iPhone 11 11 pro and Pro Max.

They all support WiFi six kind of the perfect test to compare the new product to the old amplify product to our old set up to see what kind of improvement we can see in our Internet speed.

This is going to be available in a single router package like this, or eventually also in a mash set up with two separate units to cover an even bigger space.

But to be honest, the main unit is probably going to be substantial enough for most people.

Set up a multi gig speeds.

802 11.

A ex wife by six.

Remote management.

You manage the whole thing from an application.

This unit has a screen on the front, as you can see.

I mean, it's called Alien, so it's already got Wells vote.

How about the Unboxing experience?

Look at this.

Wow, kind of has, ah, monolithic vibe going on, which, you know you already know.

I'm into that.

He's got a matte black finish on it.

And, of course, it still has your wired connections.

If you choose to use them.

Those gigabit connections, there's four on there.

Also inside the package.

You have this flat Ethernet cable with some cable management on that, so no separate power brick it must be built into the unit, so that's kind of nice.

It's also a flat style power table.

It's very home cable management set up within the unit, so your cable lives on the inside of here and then comes out the back.

So everything is hidden and it stays setting flat is simply gonna launch the amplified AP power off the pre existing broadband router and then plug this one into that one and jump back into the app and completely set up process.

You're sitting there wondering who What is this blazing?

What do you need?

What you doing over?

But we got guys like what we got.

Guys like Jack.

They're uploading videos.

It's a whole thing.

Yeah, they're they're tapping their uploading to be serious.

We're talking about files that are many gigabytes.

So to chop that in half, potentially from our previous WiFi set up is.

Actually, it's pretty appealing.

We've got the unit plugged in now, as you can tell, and the standout feature is this display on the front that's actually a touch screen.

Granted, the way that you set it up and usually interact with it is via an app on your phone, which does most of the heavy lifting.

So here's the APP.

It's on this.

No, this is a No.

10 plus right over here you install the amplified app.

It works on either IOS or Android.

But for the purpose of this video, I'll do it on the note 10 plus.

So set up the system.

It sees the alien router and just says set up required.

So you click on that.

It makes a nice little chime.

It gives you a green light at the bottom because it's an alien.

After all, the speaker and light are actually configurable once you get into the apus.

Well, if you have this in a place where you might want to dim not or something, you can do it.

Although full alien status, when you have a glowing in this way, name your network, I'm gonna call it faster.

Hopefully it is faster and it comes to life.

It starts showing you think All right, so there is tons of configuration available in the APP.

Remember, I was talking about the light in the screen.

You can actually set up a night mode so those things can dim accordingly, depending on the time of day.

Of course, your security settings as well.

And remember, this is this is a type of setup that you can extend an entire mesh network so you can set up various nodes.

You can set up additional S s I d s so the first speed test that I want to run is actually only unit itself with wire connection.

So if you want to take advantage off the wire gigabit, you can see what you're capable of in a speed test.

So, as you can see here, it's kind of got this cool graphic where it's tracking the throughput so I can go ahead and just tap that.

And it will start by testing the download speed, which you can see.

They're tracking over 900 down 919 megabits per second down.

But the more exciting one is actually on the upload for us because we do a lot of that, and that's 970 megabits per second up.

But that's an optimal scenario.

The really exciting part is on WiFi six and the various different devices that get WiFi access to this type of setup pixel for Excel on the Left, we have an iPhone 11 pro Max, followed by a note 10 plus and in S 10 plus.

We've got all the right ingredients here.

We got the fat connection.

We've got the amplify alien, and we got some really nice smartphone hardware So let's kick off the speed testing with the pixel for Excel.

I have selected the exact same server location so that its equivalent across the board okay, pixel for itself.

All right.

Nothing wrong with that.

Just under 500 megabits per second and close toe 700 megabits per second on the upload.

It's probably the fastest speed test I personally done on this phone since I had it.

So that's good.

All right, let's switch over to the iPhone.

11 pro maps.

Okay, so obviously, higher on the download.

Significantly.

6 26 Down by 6 77 Up.

So a little bit of discrepancy on the upload we moved to the note 10 plus 606 By who?

And look at that upload.

That is a crazy upload for a smartphone in 2019.

My goodness.

8 40 up on wireless.

Okay.

And last but not least, we have the s 10 plus.

All right?

So pretty similar.

I mean, the big jump that you notice on the download exists mostly from the pixel to these other three.

The iPhone is winning in the download department.

The note in the upload department.

That's probably the largest discrepancy is upload speed from the iPhone to the note going upto 840 megabits per second.

Whereas the download these three at least are kind of in the same range.

This is all very fast.

This is all very quick Download, upload speed.

To get a wireless connection on this standard right here is pretty wild.

So by default, the router shows you this screen, it shows you the bandwidth currently being utilized.

It shows you the number of devices connected on WiFi.

It shows you the number of devices connected that are wired and you can slide.

You can swipe on this display.

You can see your total data consumption.

You can swipe again.

You can see the status of each wired port on this display.

There's actually two separate speed test.

So you have a mesh speed test as well as an Internet throughput speed test.

You can also run this test from the application so you don't need to be right beside the router to do that.

As you can see here, I can click this little button and it's immediately going to start running.

Ah, throughput test.

You can see these crazy figures right here.

The amplify app also has a family section, so I could just imagine everybody has been.

There's a lot of misbehavior taking place in the studio.

I could just pause Internet on all devices.

That's it.

Enough.

I've had it.

I've had it up to a year.

It's always up to here.

I could actually go in and select somebody like Jack.

If he's the culprit, I could select Jack.

I could just turn his Internet off.

I could change his priority level.

I could see what he's using.

He's using too much video.

Too much YouTube, Yeah, Jack.

Too much.

You spend too much time on YouTube down there?

Yeah, I can see everything if I set up a profile that's called this kids.

This is the profile for the kids in the house, and I could put a quiet time in there.

You see that?

I could I could put a quiet time right engine, so that's kind of cool.

Nice little feature there as well.

It's an upgrade for the studio.

Shout out to amplify for the latest alien.

I mean, we run on the Internet.

The Internet is our fuel that the Internet is how you're watching this.

The Internet is how our content gets up there.

So any improvement there is actually a big deal around the office.

So it's cool.

I appreciate it, and we're totally gonna take advantage of it.

What?
