The My Net Switch 750 from
Western Digital is a dual-band router that is optimized to deliver
HD media streams across your network, both wired and wireless. The
device features 5 Gigabit Ethernet Ports with a combined data rate
of up to 750 (300+450) Mbps. It also has 2 USB ports and supports a
wide range of devices from laptops to Smart TV's and even Smart
Phones.
The idea behind the My Net Switch 750 is to deliver flawless
streaming between devices on your network. This is done
through the FasTrack technology which is setup for popular movie
formats on the internet such as Netflix and YouTube which ensures
that your movie streaming is extremely smooth. So if you want to
watch a movie on the net, the 750 will make this connection
is given priority so you don't have any unwanted interruptions.
Thankfully the device supports all tablets, whether Android or Apple
with apps available to all users.
Installation is quite easy and you
simply connect the product into the power and then connect it to
your network. A setup CD is included for PC/Mac plus you can
directly access the router via a web browser (192.168.1.1). Once
setup, all your devices on the network will automatically pick up
the wireless connection such as laptops and tablets. Installation
took around 10 or so minutes to connect the 750 to our network and
then to our media centre. We also had no interference or connection
problems once connected thanks to the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands plus its
range amplifying technology.
Another interesting aspect of this
device is the personal cloud feature. Similar to a public cloud, the
personal cloud is only accessible by those users in your network.
This allows you to easily share or stream files across your network
and if you need to access your data remotely, you can access it via
the web on a secured connection.
