  • Yup, just like you, I saw the Minions Wi Fi routers on Reddit and went, those can't be real, can they?
  • But then, unlike you, I actually bought them.
  • So here they are, Bob and Kevin, ready to turn your Wi Fi evil.
  • How evil, you ask?
  • Does this answer your question?
  • This pig, banana?
  • Oh, there's a thing above me.
  • The truth is, there's not a ton of information about these, other than what the manufacturer publishes on the box.
  • The Bob version is AX AT HUNDRED, so this is Wi Fi six, while the Kevin version is AX E FIFTY FOUR HUNDRED, so Wi Fi six E.
  • Other than that, the Kevin version is tri band, which it has to be to be Wi Fi six e, so it's got two point four gigahertz support and five gigahertz and six gigahertz, each at one hundred sixty megahertz channel widths.
  • It has a two and a half gig uplink port, which is not necessarily surprising at this price, but...
  • is a little surprising on something that I had perceived to be pretty much a novelty item.
  • Typically they give no thought to performance whatsoever, but this clearly does because all we have to do is flip over one more panel and we see that it also uses an upgraded Qualcomm processor versus the more basic dual core MIPS IA processor on the Bob version and
  • It's got more, I guess, DRAM.
  • I'm assuming... Flash DRAM doesn't really mean anything.
  • I think they mean flash and DRAM.
  • So, uh, it has five hundred and twelve megabytes of RAM.
  • This side of the box is also where we find out these are designed by Davelink, a Korean company that's been around since two thousand and specializes in business and education networking.
  • We've got a QR code for the installation guide.
  • And then that is about it.
  • And online, you won't find much more in the way of information compared to what they tell you on the box.
  • They're mesh supported.
  • You could have one Kevin for your internet connection, then have a whole mesh of Bobs connected to them.
  • They have support for WPA three, which we actually did a video over on Linus Tech Tips recently and explained why that's very important.
  • And what's included in the box is apparently all.
  • Now we're gonna need a little bit of clarification on that.
  • So why don't we go ahead and get, oh my God, it's so cute.
  • My very own Minion.
  • It's not very heavy, but a wireless router doesn't necessarily need to be heavy to indicate its quality.
  • Oh my God, it's so cute.
  • If you wanna connect more than one wired client, you're going to need a network switch.
  • So you've got just the one WAN port and the one LAN port.
  • There's a mesh button, which I assume is for setup.
  • An LED, which I have to assume lights up the eyes.
  • I really, really hope it does.
  • And then powering.
  • Oh my God, the shoes are rubber.
  • The attention to detail, you guys.
  • Oh, even the cable's cute.
  • Look, it's a Minions cable.
  • Not really expecting to find anything extra in Kevin's box, but who knows.
  • He does cost a hundred and thirty dollars compared to just sixty nine dollars for Bob.
  • He's a lot heavier, which highlights that this is a completely different product.
  • Not just two different versions of the same thing stuffed into a smaller chassis and a larger chassis.
  • This feels like it's got some heat sinks in it too.
  • Oh my God, his hair tuft is rubber too.
  • Oh, it's probably not the eyes that light up.
  • It's probably this right here.
  • Okay.
  • Oh, wow.
  • This is a really short ethernet cable.
  • That's kind of a bummer.
  • Hey, there we go.
  • We got activity LED now.
  • Well here, let's do the setup.
  • This is pretty simple.
  • Just scan this QR code to connect to it and then scan a second QR code.
  • Well, the easy setup kind of broke down here.
  • Well, we got there.
  • It turns out that whatever Apple's doing with their default DNS settings and Safari on the iPhone, it just doesn't work for this.
  • It works just fine on Android and it works just fine on a desktop or laptop.
  • So let's go ahead and check out this control panel.
  • I love that the default admin username is Bob.
  • Come on, how perfect is that?
  • Like they really did put in the work on this one, guys.
  • Wait.
  • What?
  • If you reconfigure SSID zero, SSID one just shows up.
  • So now I've got Kevin sucks and I've got Bob underscore one.
  • How do I turn that one off?
  • Oh yeah, it's not secured.
  • What is going on right now?
  • Oh, I should tell the people about our sponsor.

  • Was this enabled box here before?
  • No, that enable and disable thing is not here.
  • And this apply button that is here in the easy setup is not here in the wifi settings one, right?
  • Guys, tell me, tell me what's happening right now.
  • Does that apply?
  • the little paper airplane is a fly.
  • Wouldn't recommend using the easy wifi setup.
  • There were a couple of concerns we saw raised about the device online.
  • Someone said that it doesn't support PPPoE.
  • So if you need that, then I guess the Minion router.
  • is not for you.
  • And more importantly, a Reddit user pointed out that there's a vulnerability where the Wi Fi passphrase is passed to the UART console in plain text.
  • However, it should be noted that someone would need physical access to the device in order to take advantage of that exploit.
  • So once someone's got physical access, you're pwned anyway.
  • Enough chit chat though.
  • It's time for the moment you've all been waiting for.
  • Is it actually a functioning Wi Fi router?
  • It's a gigabit connection running into it.
  • Half a gigabit.
  • Wow, uploads even better.
  • Five hundred megabit download, seven hundred up, very reasonable.
  • But can Kevin do better?
  • I'm not gonna bother configuring everything on this one.
  • And guys, I'm sure there's things we could do to tune things a little bit better, but we wanna see how these are gonna perform out of the box because realistically, come on.
  • That is how most people buying a novelty router like this are going to use it.
  • All right, not bad.
  • You can see our ISP is delivering a little bit more than gigabit on this connection.
  • Unfortunately, UBC is really not giving us good enough consistency in our downloads to really draw any kind of reasonable conclusion.
  • Let's move.
  • The test inconsistency isn't that big of a deal though, because under normal circumstances, you're not gonna be right next to your router anyway, and the bottleneck is gonna be, you know, what kind of connection can you get to it through a wall or whatever?
  • So we're at one wall right now.
  • Let's see how we're doing here.
  • Oh.
  • Oh.
  • Yeah, I don't think the University of British Columbia is the problem here.
  • Wow.
  • Okay.
  • So then I just go through this one door.
  • Oh, wow.
  • This is with no wall.
  • Guys, look.
  • The set is right there.
  • It's like right there.
  • This is bizarre, guys.
  • Kevin?
  • Kevin?
  • Are you okay?
  • It probably switched over to two point four when I went on the other side of the door and then just didn't grab five gigahertz or six gigahertz again.
  • Ooh, ooh, that's not good.
  • Oh man, I had not intended to go into Kevin's control panel, but I'm gonna have to do that.
  • So here's what we're gonna do.
  • You're in an apartment and you just don't need two point four gigahertz and we're just gonna turn two point four off.
  • So the question we're trying to answer here is, can you buy one of these for your mom?
  • Or is she gonna call you complaining the second she walks, you know, thirty feet away from it or goes into another room?
  • If you understand the compromise you're making that two point four gigahertz isn't gonna work.
  • Let's go, let's go again.
  • Back to the other side of the door we go.
  • Okay, moving around doesn't seem to be good for it.
  • Seriously?
  • Surprisingly, this fares much better.
  • So the problem is not necessarily the wall or the distance.
  • I'm probably about the same distance from Kevin as I was before.
  • The issue seems to be the pickup pattern of the antennas.
  • So if you live in like a row home, you know, like a three level, but like small building, yeah, perfect.
  • All right, we're back.
  • All right, yeah, like we can really see it here.
  • So the problems are twofold.
  • One, switching between different bands is handled extremely poorly.
  • Now that could potentially be exacerbated by the device's own tendencies, but whoever's fault it is, it's not a good experience with the Minions routers.
  • I'm assuming Bob is no better than Kevin.
  • And then problem number two is that the pickup pattern on this antenna is, I don't know what word to use to describe it other than inexcusable.
  • Um, it worked great upstairs.
  • So it's not that it's completely unable to punch through walls.
  • It's that the pickup pattern is really strong vertically.
  • And yeah, yeah, it's all, it's, it's a, it's a cantina sticking out of the top of this thing and really poor horizontally.
  • So.
  • At this point in time, I can't say that I can recommend the Minions routers for anything other than cuteness factor.
  • So if you're in an extremely small space and you just want a cute little Wi Fi access point, then they're great.
  • And if you want performance, then you should probably look elsewhere, like to your ISP provided access point compared to these things.
