Apologies in advance for my lack of precise terminology. Networking isn't my strong suit, but I'm learning more each day! 🙂
As someone with the license to work in this field: You are hereby forgiven.
Greg next how to: Fachinformatiker für Systemintegration
Just throw a bunch of acronyms together in one rapid succession and BAM! Netwrkng!
This sounds _way_ more profesh than "media panel," eh? 😅
its fine. panel thingymajig will suffice
I just got the TP link S4 works great but was looking at X20 would it be worth it the extra money for ye X20 I can return till end of January . I have a smart home setup 3 levels townhouse 500/30 isp speed . Over 50 devices on wifi
Greg is a way better neighbour than State Farm.
this made me crack up
He seems like a nice chill dude. Good job on the wi-fi!
I use the tp link decos and they are really good, mesh networking is great!
Does not seem to be that good, i have 1x Asus router in the middle of the house and i get better up/down speed around the house than that. It did cost 300€
@@ionitaconstantin1052 For coverage, mesh networking is the best. For speeds, routers are better.
@@ionitaconstantin1052 they'd get better performance if the APs were hard wired to one another.
I've set up a few Deco systems for friends in the last few years, all of them wired, and performance has been excellent.
In fact a pair of Deco M5 units replaced an Asus router in one case, with excellent results.
The wireless backhaul "mesh" features should only really be used where it's impossible to get ethernet to your access points.
@@ionitaconstantin1052 wifi mesh doesn’t go for raw speed. If u wanted raw speed u would get something like that asus router. Dont send a lambo to do an off roaders job type deal. Everything has it use case etc
@@RathOX i know its not for raw speed but what is the point to wire them? I mean isn't the point to have less cables?
If u start running cables to wire them u are better off just getting another router for the second half of the house and u still get better signal and speed.
Just my 2cents, since i been in this position and did get 2 similar devices .. at the end of the day i ended up whit a good router in the middle.
Personally, if there is already ethernet ran to multiple points of the house in the ceiling, I think it would have made a lot more sense to use access points that are mounted up there. You would get better performance since each AP would have wired connection and since the AP is blasting the signal downwards from up there. Seems like a wasted opportunity since all the hard part (running the cables through walls) had been done already.
This basically. I live in singapore where wifi mesh is being advertised everywhere by the ISP, but because everybody lives in concrete flats, wifi mesh networks get significantly degraded by the time it reaches the master bedroom. However using ethernet backed mesh networks, every single room can basically hit 1gb/s down on speedtest with no sweat.
Exactly my thought. I was also suprised that Greg would not utilise these cables to get Backhaul performance.
That's in America. They all live in wooden houses. No matter how fancy the neighborhood looks
and on a side note: I'd bet all my money these two dudes are getting freaky in the garage when no one's looking
It's a sponsored video so they probably needed to emphasize the mesh part of the access points. These are no access points for tech savvy people so it makes sense to connect 'em like that.
Or just run them wired, which is possible. And it will still make a mesh network, but with an ethernet (wired) backhaul.
Love this different video content, brings a lot of variety to the channel and keeps things fresh, great video Greg hoping for more 😉
I wired each of my TP mesh stations. Makes a huge difference. Sensor clean time.
No hype...no drama...no bullshit, just a straight forward "this is the product and this is how to set it up and make it work" kinda video, this is why Greg is one of the better tech folks on the RUclips.
Got this set last weekend! I have a 1gbit fiber connection since this month. Stil need to run some cat7 cable through my house. I want my pc and all three decos connected via cat 7 cable.
Really easy to install and use!
I just bought a tp link deco M4 system. Very easy to set up.
Love to see new content on the channel. Love the videos man.
I appreciate it!
@@GregSalazar :)
His middle of the road speeds are my every day, inside the house, next to the router speeds 😒🙄😂😂
I like that most of the Deco units support ethernet backhaul to help out with the speeds and stability. Been looking at the X20 myself. Amazon had them on sale a few weeks ago for $200, but I held off thinking Black Friday would be a better deal. Unfortunately they are at $230 for a 3 pack now.
it's on sale again on Amazon for $180 as of yesterday.
Honestly i feel like pack of 3 are a bit overkill, just like grey said most people's houses aren't as big as 5000 sq ft, my house is like 400 sq ft.
I don't have the X20 - I think they're too expensive but I do have the M4. I have five of them. The great thing is that you can just buy more to put in or near places where you notice a signal drop / weak signal. Really cool product and it finally fixed my wifi problem at home. And to think before that I just tried using regular plug in the wall extenders.
TP-link Decos are so underrated. When I moved into my 3-floor-house a few years ago I bought some Deco P7s. Totally happy with my wifi since then.
5:05 I prefer 50 shades of Greg
Amazing timing, heh. Just yesterday I installed my new Decos M4 after some more networking-savvy friends recommended it.
After spending a lot of money on routers, repeaters and access points, I FINALLY have decent wifi performance across the house! Mesh Deco FTW 🙂
Anyone else see what the Subtitles said 0:04 - 0:12
The fast his coverage in the street is better than mine right next to my main router and here soon we’re getting fiber optic and we orders that exact system can’t wait
The 2nd hand market in my place sells them for as low as $20 per node
Once I'm immersed in its eco system. I've manage to snag 12 units of them and ran a ethernet backhaul since my house is like a bunker in terms of concrete thickness 😂
So there it is lowest Ping and peak speed anywhere i go 😀
This is so great man. A lot of channels are making videos asking what to do to get more views. And you keep innovating on your own. Great stuff.
Wish Greg was my neighbour 🤣
The panel inside is normally called a home network or media enclosure depending on what’s inside.
I like my TP-Link AC4000 router. Has been solid for over 2 years now.
I would create a wired backhoaul between all of them, especially when your friend had pre-wired setup already.
Yeah, prewired isn't set up - only one port in the ceiling of the main room. It's still plenty fine for his needs.
These things are great. I have them. One thing to note, I find that turning either Fast Roaming or Beamforming on prevents some older devices like my old Android box and PS Vita from connecting.
Should have used that wired backhaul! Big BIG BIG difference
The middle of the road is my current wifi speed lmao
I use 2X Deco M4, in a 100m² house. I have good signal on the roof and the yard , plus enough meters away from home, I can access the internet as well.
These X20 are much more expensive but for different use case scenarios.
The Mesh WiFi system, really killed Powerlines, I believe :)
Great video, as always, Greg!
The most impressive feature of this video is that you guys are enjoying warm weather and up here in Canada at Lake Ontario it's -7c tonight.
I've been using orbi mesh wifi for over 5 years now "I think" and it's been amazing. Whenever i see a tech tuber buy a new old school router I scratch my head and I don't understand why they still buy those. I'm sure there is a good reason for it. I use one of the three in my computer room and directly plug it into my pc and get the full speed that I pay for on my pc. I can't imagine using anything else since i've made the switch to mesh wifi years ago.
Greg: We don't line in mansions over here.
Me: Looks at my house, and the neighbourhood...um yes you do :)
Man it killed me when he replied dead serious about the dre wifi name
Pretty sure that was Ookla speed test, which isn't testing WiFi, it's testing speed at the router.
Best to use Google own speed test for WiFi speeds.
Curious what was the speed before? Would've been good to see a comparison.
This is very informative and a amazing for the holidays Christmas gift!!!
Thanks for watching!
Love the inevitable "I'd wire it up" comments in a wireless product demo.
Very nice gesture during this time of the year
Dre is so funny 😂
I got a WiFi 6 mesh system a few months ago, better speeds, stability, and range than the old boring single router with some netgear range extender.
"We don't live in mansions over here..." (Has a Porche and Ferrrari as daily drivers.)
Definitely like your neighbor; good sport about the entire thing
That’s a nice-looking telecom box. The one in my apartment looks like crap they didn’t even bother to patch up the wall
I just grabbed these off of Amazon, and it is pulling wifi all the way from my neighbors house to mine. One connected to her router and 2 in my house.
surprise me too Sir. Greg. Need that WifiMesh Setup
Dope upgrade
I bet, if you placed the first one outside that metal wiring box the signals and speeds would improve
His speed test in the road using wifi is better than my entire internet speed 15 feet from my router using ethernet lol
Haha! My Ethernet cable speeds are 35download, and 3upload. $175/mo with Spectrum .
Why is only Andre's convo hard subbed 😄
your comment's are really good, my only question is, how do you plan on utilising the stream of "data"....
nice of you , I have them and I love them.
This has absolutely nothing to do with this video!!! Just wanted to give a big shout out to Greg!! Thnx for the Cd Key discount code!! Just got 2 windows pro keys that work for less than 30 bucks!!!! Great deal!!! Appreciate it!!
Should get a switch to keep all the hardwired connections connected to the router incase you need ‘em.
I live in Florida too
Interesting. I didn't know that you could just replace the ISPs gateway router. TP Link I have often used. But in an apartment block it is a game of ever increasing strengths to combat the neighbours, 8 other neighbours whose WiFi can be as strong as your own. So I prefer to stick to the trusty Cat 6 cable.
You can. But you need to activate the new router on your account. Usually you can do yourself, or you can call them up to send the activation signal.
Make sure he calls Frontier and return that router to save $10/month on his FiOS bill.
I returned their POS router day one 😂
Speeds and coverage are good but had to return mine, not being able to change ssid channel in a tighter living area made the wifi unusable :/
Best mesh ever
Think someones messing with your subtitles Greg XD
His speeds from the ROAD are identical to mine whilst sitting next to the router… catch up rural Australia lmao
Awesome. ..even I could hook this up...he did turn off the public wifi off....
???
.
Ok, I'm 1 minute in, I like where this content is going...
Cool neighbour 🤘 better watch out for his 50 shades 😅
Turn in your ISPs' equipment to stop from paying the rental fee for the modem/router
I have one X20 router, so if I get two more, it meshes them together and won't create 3 unique networks? Time to get more X20s!
Hey Greg, could you do a video on push vs pull vs push/pull radiators?
Yes it Does.
The thumbnail made me do a retake, I thought It was an old awesomehardware episode.
Greg love it man! Great job for your neighbor!!!
No web interface (VERY MINIMAL NOW) was a deal breaker for me.
I’m actually shocked by the lower fiber speeds in your area. Even in my tiny town of 20k ppl in nowhere Texas, I’m sitting at gig up and down.. can’t complain anymore I guess lol
We have gigabit... we just chose not to pay the extra $30/mo for it. Only $50 for 500/500 and no caps here.
@@GregSalazar I figured you guys did and for sure if you don’t need/want it then why not save the dough :) 500/500 here is $75 and gig is $89 so it just made sense to go gig. Can’t be upset either way :)
You're lucky to have either a cable system or fiber optic system. Live in a big city in Texas but don't want a big cable bill. It will be a few years before we get fiber optic so are stuck with very slow speeds for now.
As someone who works in tech support the combo unit triggers me.
do these mesh devices support bridge mode? you could just plug it into one of those unused ethernet jacks and leave the cabinet as it was or put a pfsense router in there, the netgate 2100 is what I have its superb
these mesh systems are good but I have had horrible experiences when connected different other wifi enabled items like apple home pods and google nest cams.
Nice video. Good to see the learning curve. Nice. I wonder was it only one utp cabel that connected to the first ap from the isp. I would like to know how for example his tv was connected? i so the 2 coax cables so i'm wondering now :)
it's a shame his middle of the road is faster then my out in the middle of no where 12mbps down and .6mbps up. it sucks being stuck between cox fiber 2 drives ways one way and xfinity fiber 2 drive ways the other way
So you don't need the isp provided modem anymore and can return it not having to pay a "rental fee" anymore? Or do you still need the isp provided modem and this just replaces the router?
i will be surprised that will work, usually the provider box is needed to interface to the fiber. You plug the fiber rj45 into the provider box, and then u use one of the of the ports on the provider box to one of the mesh routers. I am using ATT fiber.
Evil companies do this. So glad I got a few choices here.
@@joeyyung911 I have the eeros pro 6 mesh nodees and i have ip pass through enabled on the provider box.
Same here with AT&T Fiber. I had to keep the supplied BGW210 router/wifi unit in passthru mode and turn off internal wifi, then connected the TP Link Deco M4 units to the BGW210. My setup was further complicated by my IT-brain dead home builder only putting RG6 cable throughout the house with no CAT6 wiring at all. I used ethernet over coax adapters so that my Deco M4 units have ethernet backhaul, giving me the same Wifi speed no matter which of the 3 units I'm connected to.
@@mowcowbell yes, that is how it works. I'd like to see how in the video this guy is set up where he went directly to the router from what he said it was fiber box outside. Sorry to hear you had only RG6 and no cat 6. They were i bet saving money from highering a proper IT installer.
hey santa greg.... man i gotta move to your neighborhood
Him and his wife do a lot of work in the bedroom? Can you DM me that link? Asking for a friend 😂😂
I think Greg secretly put a mesh in his house to get some of that speed!
Except my phone will stay locked onto an access point even when I leave the room, instead of switching to a nearer access point!
If you connect each connecter with a LAN he wil have more upload and download speed
How does a modern detached home only have 4 ethernet runs to the panel??? My 12 year old ~900sq ft condo has 8!
I changed ISP at one point just to get away from a mandatory ISP provided modem/router/access point thing - and I'm using an old Asus AC 3x3 router I found in a thrift shop for $5.
My home (built in 2017) had NO ethernet runs to the panel (!). Just had RG6 cable in every room. I ended up using Ethernet over Coax adapters to get gigabit ethernet to each room of the house. They work perfectly (other than costing $160 for a pair of them).
Would I have a benfiit of buying this if I have 50/10 from my ISP?
The speeds in his road is better than next to my router
Yoo we call those white boxes @ 2:14 On-Q boxes
Does it penetrate walls 'better' than the ISP router?
So performance got worse when they added more units?
Heh watching this on internet coming from my Deco X20 lel
Good guy Greg
Greg didn't you already fix or upgrade this neighbor PC ? or does he appears in many YT channels and I'm confused ?😂
Dang, I'm over here thinking "Where can I find a neighbor like Greg?"
DOod! Dre got a Dell!
Greg :) u forgot to blur liscence plate I know where u live :)
THATS A DODGE CHALLANGER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Great video......but Greg blur out the WIFI and security details of the ISP supplied router!!!! I know he's no longer using it, but should he ever need to troubleshoot, the ISP will require him put that back in.......
Doesn't his ISP require the Modem to have access to their internet?
Greg, a modem/router is a Mouter! 😉😆
