Great overview, thanks.
Could you please check out the Wyze 6e tri band mesh router
What about the eero Pro 6 MESH.
Why cant we communicate with some sort of invisible light that passes through walls? A solar panel would be the recieving end of a nic. Or better yet, take control of individual electrons and send them through quantum wormholes to their destination, so that any wireless operation is instant. Best is all these and all others, except router chooses when to use what.
i just tested my internet speed plugged in directly from modem vs being plugged by router and speed is very different. why is this?
Thanks
I like Archer router.
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) is the latest Not Wi-Fi 6.
TP link routers are trash, Einstein had a better grip on software than those absolute apes at TP.
This is a really good guiding video , much appreciated
6E= Futureproofing
Verizon 5G home internet: I have the ASK-NCQ1338 box. I got 328 download, 23 upload, no data cap. So easy, just plug in the power cord and it works. Verizon is $50/mo ($25/mo if u have unlimited cellphone plan), and I've cancelled cable. I tested 7 tvs streaming simultaneously in the evening and Speedtest said that the download speed was 177 down.
Cable internet/tv/phone bundle has been monopolizing/raping me for 20 years, and cable is unreliable, and TV picture is bad at 720P/1080i.
I have 60 devices. I have a large 2 story house 2600ft.
I also ordered another 5G home internet for my son who's going back to college for his off-campus rental house.
I’m paying my money to AT&T for at least 30mbps which is decent for where I live, but I’m getting 6mbps 😂, it’s ridiculous
I'm just here to double "like". Best video on the topic. Much appreciated!
What I would wish that people would talk about more in wifi routers is "changing channels." We all know the common problems with wifi and having no signal or signal dropping out. But I do not see anyone talking about changing your wifi channel. In certain ways it can prevent you from buying a new router. And you hear about wifi 6 routers are a waste of money unless you have alot of devies. So i bought a gaming asus wifi router and something that i discovered that our current wifi eero routers could not do, was changing the wifi channel because we had a neighbor that was on the same channel as ours. And we would have little drops outs and we normally did not have this problem but recently we had a new neighbor that moved in. And I used a wifi analyzer app and sure enough I was right. But unfortunately eero will not allow you to change channels. Sure enough the asus gaming wifi router actually auto switches between channels if a channel becomes clogged. We do not have wifi 6 speeds but it supported the devices that we currently own. And through the desktop software, I could not believe how much control asus gives to the consumer. But to me having a router that auto changes channels is smart if your neighborhood is busy.
Just avoid any Chinese brands (not Taiwanese) as their network products have backdoors which can allow CCP to easily trace everything you do on the internet.
nothing against the dude but i think your moving your arms a little too much
“Future proofing” your network doesn’t pan out in the end. The router goes out just when the “future” arrives. And then you gotta buy a new router anyway. I got one of those expensive netgear nighthawk routers years ago with 6 antennas tri band etc. now it’s going out on me and I heard the antennas go out over time due to age and use. Something I didn’t know happens. I’m sticking with least expensive routers from now on.
are any of these modem/routers?
Thank you!
I appreciate the time you took to make this.
Good stuff, the only thing no one talks about is POE. Are there any POE Wifi Mesh?
I just want to be
A. Able to run from phone
B. Have ax
C. Easy to open ports and run no password if I want
D. Have greater than gig ethernet want ports
I just purchased a TP-Link AX4400, it seems to be the best bang for the buck and I live in a 1 bedroom apartment so mesh would be overkill since I'm only dealing with 877 sq ft of apartment. Also after checking into the tech specs, theoretically, my router can do 224 devices between the 2.4 and 5Ghz bands. I don't have that many, but when it comes to smart home devices, having more breathing room is nice. For all serious devices, such as streamers, my iMac, etc, I use Ethernet. I've had the router for about a little over 2 weeks now, and it's been rock solid.
When is my 60ghz WiFi coming? I need 10gb speeds!
Hey guys I'm a die-hard Verizon customer for 2 decades but I highly recommend looking at T-Mobile's 5G internet Cube. Unbelievable and the best internet service I've ever had in my entire life.
