Wow I think that's the best explanation of wireless technologies I have ever heard.. And for every "I" dotted and "t" crossed in 6 minutes it's pretty impressive!... hats off to ya :D
why do i think all this "technology " was more than known when "wave1" was launched but it was purposedly set aside so the industry could cash on selling the same shit twice? i get this feeling about most eletronic stuff this days. they do it on games , holding on content , call it DLC and sell the game twice, i wouldn´t be suprised if this was the same scheme.
Ok, here's the question Linus - since Wave 1 clients can't do MU-MIMO, I assume the Wave 2 access point falls back to Wave 1 for those clients. So what happens in mixed environments where let's say there are 9x Wave 2 clients and 1x Wave 1 client? Does that single Wave 1 client screw everything up for the other 9 clients every time it is its turn to talk to the AP?
Great video! It would be great if you could do a video on the IETF RFC standards process, and how and why tech standards are created, updated and implemented.
You said that there's been so many updates to wifi it's crazy and routers are outdated really quickly... but I would disagree. This is actually the first update to WiFi standards in a very long time that actually sounds useful. I still have a G router, and have had no reason to even consider upgrading. The bottleneck has always been my ISP. Until I live in a city with Google Fiber or something, my router is already faster than my internet connection so a "faster" router is completely pointless" However, this update, with it's ability to better connect to more devices simultaneously, could actually be useful, so I'm pretty excited about that :)
and i just bought an ac wave 1 router before knowing about wave 2... technology is like diarrhoea. when you think the spur of shit is over, nope, there's more. alot more.
@@LiEnby a 2gb HDD would not run xp well at all and 512mb of ram would have been a massive amount in the 2gb HDD days. My first xp computer (2002) had 128mb of ram and 40gb HDD. (1996) Win 95 64mb ram 5gb HDD. (1993) old 486 IBMwith win 3.1 had 40mb HDD and 2mb ram upgraded to 8mb. These are just the systems I used. But yeah xp reallllly likes having free HDD space to run properly. With that much ram and no free space you'll get page file issues right away. This still happens actually and is the reason I switched from a 60gb ssd to a 240gb.
One thing to note is that when using 160mhz of the spectrum and ruining your neighbour's wifi also means you're getting interference from them, thereby lowering your performance in turn. Just because there's a buffet doesn't mean you should eat everything
Lots of Green Screen spillage on your face. Are you guys using "KeyLight" in After Effects? There is a option for Spill Suppression in there I believe.
bridging is supported only on the higher end offering, on my kind of line, which is the most common, these kind of capabilities are locked by the vendor of the internet line, you have to pay extra even to unlock the wireless capability of the modem/router provided in the contract, and to spend something like 40 euros monthly to get 7 meg down (via ethernet), yeah..it sucks
+Vittorio Sergi You can buy an Asus Router and then from your Home router a Ethernet cabel to the WAN port on the Router that you can't change, then you have highspeed WLAN
I just bought a Netgear R7000P (2016), 15 months after purchasing a Netgear R7000 (2013). Feel somewhat stupid that I didn't notice the two different models when I purchased the first.
I don't think i will need to buy one of those anytime soon. My local area network practically in disrepair since the beginning of June. I was required to upgrade to a VDSL modem, and i have only plugged the computer directly into the modem until i feel like trying make rest of the network to work with the modem. (note: the modem is really a modem/router/AC combo, but i only use it as an modem)
well it's great that technology developes even further but I guess that didn't surprise anyone ^^ I for myself can say that it is worth it to upgrade to ac wave 1. i got a 3 antenna router and my phone and my smart TV have 2 antennas and i can stream 4K 100mbit/s video butter smooth. this would definitely not work with the n standard and especially not on 2,4Ghz. there are 10 other 2,4Ghz networks around me but on 5Ghz I'm all for myself.
please do a as fast as possible on mobile payment Google pay,Apple pay etc. how does it work? how do I find if a store supports it? what are the benefits of mobile payment? what are the disadvantages to it? I would really like to know.
Wiresless signal clutter is why I mostly use wired networking. Wireless is useful and I'll use it when I need it but I'll stick to wired networking when I can. I drilled a hole between rooms and created my own Cat6 wall jack just so I could wire my computer to the internet instead of relying on wireless. Besides, all my devices (routers, laptops, smartphones) are still 'ye old' wireless N - I'm not about to spend a fortune replacing everything.
Why is the speed of wifi routers measured in Megabits whereas we measure download speeds in Megabytes, isn't the speed of the router the same as the download speed on a computer
I got confused. In the tri band vid, the 3 frequencies have one stream each. Does mu mimo mean that each frequency streams to 4 devices (or 2?) at the same time?
If you wait another couple of years wave 3 will come out and y'all have to upgrade again. I'm good with my cat6 hard wired network. Beat that wireless!!!
this is wrong. a router does not connect to one thing at a time it depends on the amount of channel for example; my 87u has 4x4 and my phone and laptop are 2x2 meaning it can connect to both of them at the same time to be able to do 4x4 it is the same for my 2.4 which is 3x3 meaning it can be able to do 3 devices at a time so, Linus clear that up!!!
3.5 Gb/s!? Never thought I'd see the day when wifi is faster than ethernet. ...Unless I just haven't heard of the latest ethernet update. Is ethernet still capped at 1 Gb/s or is there newer technology out there?
I'm still using 802.11A, B, G and N and I see no logical reason to upgrade beyond this for at least the next 5 years, possibly 10 and I am on a fiber connection.
+SuperCookieandthecraft Its possible that the walls are the problem, but its also possible that simply too many people are using one or the other. If at all possible, look into getting an ethernet cable.
Hey so I got that Asus PCI ac card in my PC but is it compatible with wave 2 or is it wave 1 only seeing how it only has 3 antennas. A response would be great seeing how I can't draw a cat 6 line threw multiple walls and 2 floors (in my case that is.) and can someone point me to a wave 2 device because I am searching now but can't find any.
Whats the point with all this 3.5Mbits PER SECOND when here in Australia we're lucky to even get 5Mb/s Download. No-one will use this to "Stream" Files from a PC to a laptop with that speed.
StryderEpic ! I'm in Aus and I have a 4tb external plugged into the back of my AC router, use it to wirelessly backup my pc and laptop on the same device. Plus I can stream video to the xbox from it even when my computers are off.

Why have we not moved to using MB/s (Megabytes) instead of mb/s megabits ? Do people just like to hear bigger numbers or something ? When we talk about video game sizes and actually most things on the PC we talk in MegaBytes so I dont get why Internet lingo is still using bits, Is it a marketing thing ? 10mbit internet sounds better than 1MByte/s I guess, anyone mind explaining ?
+Daiesthai You gotta think from a business stand point. Most ISPs know that most people can't tell the difference between the two or gets confused, as most customers just want fast and reliable service. If people were advertised that 24 Mbps was the equivalent of 2 to 3 MB/s, the product wouldn't be as valued and wanted to most people then just saying 24 Mbps, even some to believe that it means 24 MB/s. This misinformation often leads (as in the case in the US) ISPs not really having to increase speeds to the best standard, as people believe it's already pretty fast. There are still plans for 54 Mbps, which in 2008 standards, would be amazing, but in 2016, where households have an average of 15 WiFi connected devices, it's a nightmare. TWC have plans of 300 Mbps, which is cool, and Google and AT&T are rolling out 1Gbps Fiber connections, so the future is bright.

I always see "AC" as alternating current so stuff like this my mind interprets as "wireless electricity". I don't know why.

If your Router has multiple antenna (NO MU-MIMO) then would it connect with multiple devices at the same time?
But if I've got a triband router doesn't that mean it can already communicate with at least three devices at once?

is there a way to tell if my device is Wave 2 compatible?

Why is the speed of wifi routers measured in Megabits whereas we measure download speeds in Megabytes, isn't the speed of the router the same as the download speed on a computer
question. Is it possible for me to connect to a work router (which is one of many interlinked hubs) and tell if it is A: dual band and B: wave 2?
so why does setting your 5ghz go 160 messes up other WiFi channels?
How do i know the one that im buying is ac wave 2? I haven't found any router saying ac wave2
Do i see it from the ac number? Such as ac2xxx?
I got confused. In the tri band vid, the 3 frequencies have one stream each. Does mu mimo mean that each frequency streams to 4 devices (or 2?) at the same time?

Is there still a problem with going through walls? Because I get more range from 2.4ghz then 5ghz
+SuperCookieandthecraft Its possible that the walls are the problem, but its also possible that simply too many people are using one or the other. If at all possible, look into getting an ethernet cable.
Lower frequencies have more range than higher ones do.

+Mc Rex More range, but less data. You can have a higher frequency have equal range to one that is lower, but with more power draw
