    I’ve seen a few comments regarding Ubiquiti Unifi access points. Ironically, I use all Ubiquiti equipment in my personal home network and I actually purchased Ubiquiti’s new Unifi U7 Pro Max Access Point and planned on putting it in the video but the performance wasn’t as good as I expected. I could barely get any speeds over 1800GBPS and even if I could, the speeds are limited by the 2.5GB uplink port. Ubiquiti APs aren’t really built for raw speed. They’re built for high density and high reliability environments so it’s not necessarily an apples to apples comparison.

      Now that the Unifi MLO update is out for the WiFi7 devices, I would love to see your take on the Ubiquiti APs. Sure the raw speed might not compete with the top tier, but as a Unifi ecosystem user, would love to see the same test sweep since other channels don't seem to have a clue how to do proper comparisons on WiFi7. Mostly interested on the distance and wall penetration of different frequencies with Unifi. Don't really want to go outside of Unifi to get WiFi7, but I will if the basics aren't good. Top speed is not everything.

Start looking at Wifi connections and most are 802.11 ac... 802.11ax has been available for a long time in my area and anyone that gets Fiber installed the hardware they get supports it but literally 95% of customers only have ac support.

  • @tipoomaster
    @tipoomaster 4 месяца назад +10

    I have a maybe niche question about this and Wifi 7 in general. On previous generations, I've always separated out my bands by SSID, so I could connect to the faster 5GHz band as whenever I noticed a device slowing down connectivity wise I had found it had hopped to the 2.4GHz band, and that always fixed it for me. I know Wifi 7 combines 3 bands and communicates over all at once, but that's only for Wifi 7 devices obviously. What about older AC or AX devices? Will I no longer be able to separate bands for them and have to rely on (imo unreliable) band steering?

    I bought an eero set cause I heard it was supposed to be so good and the biggest problem I have is exactly that distance. They are not good if there’s anything in the way at all. In order to get to my work, which is literally 25 feet from my front door having three expansion routers. I had to put one inside the house one on the front porch and then one inside the shed and all of them are within 50 feet. Not a fan of eero.

Costco has online for all of November for members and you have to purchase it online the BE805 which is the BE 19,000 equivalent. Standard Costco pricing on that is $500 and it’s marked down to $300.

  • @gags730
    @gags730 5 месяцев назад +3

    I will never buy a router without removable antennas.
    If you want the best performance, the antenna is a huge part of it.
    For those who have never replaced an antenna the best way to think of an antenna like a lightbulb. The Omnidirectional antennas on almost every router can be thought of like a lantern spreading the 'light' around everywhere. You are just wasting the light and its only bright close to the source. Omnidirectional is good for a device that moves around, but is a horrible choice for a device that stays put.
    When you switch antennas to something like a panel antenna, you can focus the ' light' like a flashlight and send that 'light' to where it's needed and not everywhere it is not.
    The most common thing I see is people spending more and more money on higher end products to fix a weak signal/ slow speeds. For most people they do not even download an app or have any tools to understand what is happening on the most basic level with their Wi-Fi connection, but they will spend hundreds of dollars on a new Router to get the same results and a small improvement.
    If you download an app you want to know what the Signal is and the RSSI. When you can get that RSSI value lower than -63.... well that's when things start to work very well and things speed up. If you have a poor signal/ Poor RSSI you may not actually be able to take advantage of features with the newest WiFi as it will default to a slower and more stable connection and it will not use the newest technology.
    Know your signal and RSSI before you buy anything. You have no idea how much faster and reliable your connection can be and the best part is how cheap it can be done for.

    Great review, I have a ASUS ROG AX11000 wifi 6(not 6e version) and was looking to future proof my network with a new router, Specifically one with 10GbE as I have a few devices and NAS setup.
    Seems like you have confirmed my next choice for the ASUS, But I must say that TP link is very tempting as well, Looks like it has quite good antenna's built in.
    Only problem is here in Australia I only see the ASUS BE98 for sale and not the Pro version, I think one has two 6Ghz channels and the other two 5Ghz or something like that is the only difference, Not sure which way I want to go in that regard.

    Hay Chris, I can't believe how far these routers have come along with the super expense involved. Thank you for the review of all these routers. It will make it easy for your readers to pick the one they want. I remember about 20 years ago paying $240 for a Sinology router. At that time that price was crazy. Since then, I've gone to a carrier that provides the router/access point for free, home Internet is $30 a month and I get 260mbs down and 40 mbs up all the time. I wonder how long it will take to get any of the streaming devices at Wi-Fi 7? I guess it's all well and good that this stuff goes fast but if the receiving device are not WIFI 7 compatible then why? or do they have to be. It's good that these super speeds are here but it's gonna take a long time to get the devices updated to take advantage of the speed.

    • @ChrisMajestic
      @ChrisMajestic  5 месяцев назад +1

      I think the biggest benefit of Wifi 7 is for mesh wifi. It will allow the access points to connect to each other wirelessly with very fast speeds, negating the need to wire them together. Aside from that, there is very little incentive to jump and spend $600+ on a WiFi 7 router. Additionally, 6Ghz on WiFi 6E offers similar speeds for less money.

      I actually tested the new U7 Pro Max alongside all of these and it wasn’t performing nearly as well when it comes to throughput. It’s also limited by its 2.5GB uplink port. Unifi APs are not really built for raw speed. They are built for high stability and high client density. I ended up leaving it out of the video as I didn’t feel like it added anything helpful.

Your opinion in response to my comment is definitely interesting and could be useful for some consumers to avoid if at all possible. But also the price of $189 is cheaper than many of the other competitors… so trade offs. The ASUS is way faster for example, but is it really worth $800 for a router, especially since one router alone may not be sufficient to provide good coverage for a large house. Also, ethernet 10Gbps will still be faster than WiFi. So It’s debatable which model to go with.
      But in my opinion, the unifi management interface in its network application is pretty good compared to some of the other vendors it seems.
      The ASUS be98 pro seems to be a beast. I have the ASUS axe16000, a beast. Very strong performer.
      And I have unifi for protect security cameras and a couple their access points, including the u6 enterprise. One ASUS router is not enough for coverage all over my multi-level house. So I needed additional APs for good coverage. The u6 enterprise is A solid stable performer. But also not as fast as the ASUS. But for my high bandwidth applications like 4K Apple tv, gaming pc, ps5, i offloaded all of them from WiFi and they’re connected to Ethernet.

We need to see for greater distance between mesh nodes better to be on a 6ghz band like the asus or on a 5ghz band backhaul like the tp link i think that will be a more important comparison ... Thank you

      I’m doing a separate video on mesh. Every year I showcase both single routers and mesh routers. Most people don’t need mesh and end up buying them unnecessarily and have slower speeds than they would with a single router.

    Please read this people: online gaming traffic is in the kilobytes/sec. No gaming router nor CAT7 or 8 cable will make your game experience better, or reduce latency. All you're paying for is a fancy looking toy router. I have an Ubiquiti router, which is much more secure and future proof. I'm on fibre. I proved to a friend that a faster router does not reduce latency by comparing my Unifi system and my cheap spare router which is a GL inet. I get 1 ms latency on both. What might make a difference is when you need SQM (Smart Queue Management) to reduce jitter and I bet that those expensive gaming routers don't have a good SQM implemented.

    Good review. I ended up going with the Deco routers over just about everything you tested (not wifi 7) and the Deco router is absolute trash. Software is buggy, speed test only tests between modem and router, and subscription for security services, which are trash. I wish I could return it.

    One of these days I'm gonna see the "non-RGB" router. It's a blend between fast and easy set up and SOME functionality. Don't really care about VPNs. I need no parental controls. I haven't used port forwarding in about a decade. Never used guest access. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.
    I just want 6e (6GHz band)
    I want to hide my SSID
    Channel control
    Some access control (Block new devices)
    Static IPs
    Yet, it seems like I can either choose from the Star Ship Enterprise (RGB), or my ISP router that barely let's me change my SSID.
    FYI, I'm old school, so when I say "RGB", it's my way of saying all the bells and whistles. I prefer (except for Mob, and even then no actual RGB) stripped down versions. My rig sits under a desk, I never look at it. I'm sitting here watching this over the top router comparison (thank you) guide, and I'm thinking, I'm not trying to write my own firmware...but it is good to learn.

      I used to drink the ubiquiti kool-aid... but after living with the alien for 6 years, I have to say, the support was horrible. None of the parental controls worked. Setting bed times never really worked, labels wouldn't stick to device mac addresses, and they promised to support the usb port but straightub abandoned it . I'm no computer wiz by any means. However, I know enough to keep my network organized. My original asus router was a beast and allowed me to access much more intuitively than the ubiquiti alien.
