WD MyNet N750 Wireless Router with FasTrack QoS Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The Linus Tech Tips unboxing and first look at the WD MyNet N750 Wireless Router concentrates on what makes this model distinct in WD’s line, notably its FasTrack QoS feature and Gigabit Ethernet performance. The host walks through the core hardware specs: it is positioned as a step up from the N600 with a total claimed throughput of 750 Mbps split as 450 Mbps on one band and 300 Mbps on the other, plus four Gigabit LAN ports and two USB 2.0 ports. The video explains FasTrack as WD’s built-in firmware profiles that automatically prioritize common applications and games without manual QoS configuration, illustrating examples like prioritizing Skype over torrenting or LoL gameplay during conversations with grandma. The host then compares practical benefits such as improved range and easier setup against the N600, noting the aesthetic and physical layout features of the device including LEDs, ports, and build feel. He covers the included accessories briefly, highlighting the power brick, warranty information, and a start here guide, then demonstrates the device’s front-facing dashboard and the WD to Go and WD Photos apps for remote access and media management. The unboxing concludes with a practical, candid assessment: while the N750 emphasizes media streaming capabilities and centralized storage through USB ports, the host concedes that full HD streaming over Wi‑Fi at distance may be optimistic but still worth the try for most home setups. The wrap-up reinforces the notion that the WD MyNet N750 is designed for simpler setup with automated QoS and NAS-style capabilities, encouraging viewers to consider it for centralized backups and on‑the‑go file access, and signs off with a reminder to subscribe for more unboxings and reviews.
