A tech channel that gets straight to the point without dragging the video for 10 minutes or plugging 100 products and sponsors?

You got a new subscriber, sir.

Why do i like this video?:

1. No music
2. Fast Talking
3. Talking to the Point
4. No repetition
5. I forgot, it taught me FIVE things I can use the USB-port for on a router/rooter/rauter.

[smalin]

I think this is the most useful tech video I've ever seen. All five are things I might actually want to do, and I had no idea.

[EdwardXbot]

Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down?All this guy is doing is trying to helping people.Great work man.Thank you.Trollers Gonna Hate.

[crusheverything]

I like how it starts out as a “rooter” and soon becomes a “router”. That was awesome!

[rockinwylde]

Brilliant. I dig the "no nonsense", very easy content you provide with the appropriate clip-markers! You are quite entertaining to watch and listen to as well! Good job!

One more additional usage: As power source to power up a small cooling fan as the base to cool down the router. Hot router tends to slow down connection.

Took you advice/suggestion and activated an wi-fi Ariel to my laptop via a USB . 20-30mbps turned into 140 down 60 up. Love the whole shebang of your advice. It Works !

We literally use those ports to load configs and firmware onto them before shipping at work. Very useful and very cool!

[jnkmal]

You get a like for getting to the point. So many youtubers make things drag on for way too long. Good job!

Great tip on printers. Cheap printers can do all you need but don't have wi fi. A big problem that means multiple users having to bring their lap tops to the shared printer. This use of the Router is genius.

I thought I was a power user until I watched this video. WOW! Did I learn a lot. I couldn't hit the subscribe button fast enough. This is now one of my favorite channels.

I knew the storage thing cause I already use the MicroSD card slot on my 4G mobile router for that, but that trick with old USB printers was something so simple that I never thought of, doubly handy as our secondary older printer that's WiFi enabled is often a bit flaky where it'll recognise two computers but not others so we keep having to directly connect PCs to it via USB.

Perhaps the best 4 minutes I've spent on the internet in quite a while.

I was having thermal throttling issues with a 4G router, so I bought 2 50mm USB fans with a speed controller and placed them over the ventilation holes. $10 fix and no more frustration.

Now everyone is running to check the backs of their routers! Well, this is highly youre a techie. Here I am trying to unlearn stuff, go back to an analog life and here comes a fantastic message about going deeper into things most of us didnt even know we could. I wish this came along years go when I still cared and it makes me think about all the capability we have and dont use because we dont know. Great video.

[maijeer]

So useful. Learn so much about why was there a darn USB port in that router for a long time.

[readysetdrone]

This is one of the most useful videos that I've watched in a while. Well done Liron!

[laymahcisco]

I gotta say man, this is crazy useful. We pay hundreds and thousands of dollars for these gadgets and never use nearly half their capabilities. I've also been manually backing up on two external drives all these years, this just made things so much easier. Thanks :). Glad I clicked.

[dlake]

A very useful video. Thank you. Using an external 3.5" USB drive as a NAS is my favorite.
