i found one of these units, its practically brand new in its original box.
but i don't have any idea how it works or what to do with it. Does somebody here have any experience with anything like this? can i use it for anything, or can i maybe sell it?

any help would be greatly appreciated

The manual seems pretty extensive (first result on a google search btw), so RTFM:

i already looked at the manual, i could theoretically be able to set it up myself, but i'm more interested in hearing from anybody who has used one or even a similar product whether or not there is any practical benefit in using it, or if there would be any interest in taking it off of my hands

Then how did we get from:

if you read the manual all along, which I'm pretty sure explains how it works and what you do with it?

a simple i don't know would have sufficed from you, this is a pretty complicated piece of hardware, the act of reading a manual doesn't magically grant full understanding of a device... yeah sure i could actually invest some time, learning about the various technologies this thing supports, or i could ask if someone has some experience and could answer a few quick questions

but in any case thank you very much for arguing with me to read the manual, rtfm should obviously be the de facto answer on any technical question even if the question isn't actually how to set it up..

^^ This forum is not going to do your research for you. If you couldn't be bothered to read the manual (or search the web) and demonstrate what you have learned, we could not be bothered to give you an answer (except the answer you deserve rather than the answer you want).

Please refer to the link in my signature to find out how to ask questions that will actually give you useful answers.
