Thanks Behfor! Great video as always. Most times your discussion seem to cover the context of wooden frame houses. While the info is extremely useful (I bought my router based on your review), can you also expand your discussion to cover apartments (where most walls are bricks/concrete and there are neighbors above, below, and next to me)?
Good video but you missed an opportunity to inform people of good neighbour wifi practices when it comes to channel selection in 2.4GHz mode, in that you should try to only use the non-overlapping channels 1, 6, and 11. That way, even in more crowded environments, competition for bandwidth remains within individual channels and there is less likelihood of cross-channel interference.
Informative video. But I thumbed it down because of this. Co-channel interference results in better performance than adjacent channel interference. Selecting channels eight or nine as suggested by this otherwise well done video results in adjacent channel interference and will perform worse. As the above comment suggests, stick to channels 1, 6, and 11 for the 2.4 gHz band. The same principle applies to other Wifi bands: select the correct non-overlapping channel that corresponds with your channel width (40, 80, 160 mHz, etc.).
Hi mate. The content on your videos are invaluable. We need you to review best Wi-Fi analyser apps in not only in Android but also IOS. We need you to also record step-by-step user guide for ASUs router settings.
Thanks for this content, now I know why this annoying random disconnecting behaviour is happening. Reinstalled the Wi-fi drivers, did several fixes for my windows computer and nothing worked, so I assumed it must be the hardware of the Laptop due to it's from 2015. Doing the channel settings now and see if it changes anything 👍👍 (Living in a block of flats with a huge amount of other networks around)
Consider that IoT devices and alternate networks come into play. ZigBee uses the same frequency as CH1 and may cause interference. Some Wi-Fi IoT devices must see the same channel as configured always.
The one thing you didn't really go into is how to deal with neighbors wifi routers using your routers channels after you have statically selected the channels. The neighbor's wifi will still auto select channels and it might happen often if the neighbor also reboots his router daily.
Hi Behfor, Really like your videos mate👍🏻 Can you please make a video how to setup a site-to-site VPN (Wireguard and OpenVPN) with Asus Routers? I would like to make a Site-to-Site VPN connection between my place and my parents place, but don’t know where to start.
My solution is to move to the middle of nowhere. But it does sound a bit like a cat and mouse problem, especially in crowded city scapes. I hope you get plenty of likes (your channel deserves them). I would love to see the follow-up topic covered.

@Bhefor so in lab environment if multiple routers are broadcasting on same band and channel set on automatic selection there is a possibility of clients getting disconnected for brief periods of time ?
When the routers select the channels, they keep using them until you reboot the router or disable/enable the wifi, (unless it is a DFS channel which is a different story and I have video on that) so after the channels are selected I don't see any reason why the clients should get disconnected.
I have a AX5400 tp-link, I have a livestream setup with both a iPhone Xs and 11 pro 33metres away, line of sight with the router. Should I use 2.4? Video recording is 30 frames at 1280x720
chanel width affects a few things such as network speeds, network sub channels, and range if you use only 20mhz then you will hand the best compatibility with wi-fi devices without congestion and better range since you can fit more data in higher mhz but it can be affected by materials and range which can lead to packet loss 2.4ghz has lower mhz due to its only able to output increments of 20 or 40 and sometimes 80mhz 5ghz can output 120 and even 160mhz which is useful for higher bandwidth demanding applications such as 4k local streaming or video uncompressed streaming
If we have Three or four floor or and every floor we have one wifi ,what can I do if I go to the second floor My WiFi will connect automatically,and also third floor also connect automatically
Sorry, I tried hard but couldn’t understand your question. Do you want your WiFi to connect automatically, or is that something you want to avoid? Please elaborate.
I accessed my router to try to adjust some things, like switching channels. But it doesn't let me do so, It has a wifi analizer section with both 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies, but no channel switching option. I'm pissed bc I went all the way down from a average of 10 mbs to kbps. It's a sercomm modem. What can I do 😢?😡
Just call your wifi provider and tell them you want access . Some wifi providers like Comcast, and Att... let you have access to those settings only after you call and ask. Once they give you access you should be able to open your app and you will then be able to change your settings.
@@SteveSteveohM I went to the company and fixed the problem with the internet, from basically zero mbs now I get an average of 20 some mbs or more. The cap is 45 mbs. At least I was able to separate the bands by accessing the router. Now I can choose either 2.4 or 5 GHz.
Most overstimated topic on wifi youtubers is wifi channel. Understand it please you wont notice any benefit. Just let it autoooooo. Understand it !! Changing chanel wont help. Even if it has minor efect today. Tomoroww it may have conter effect. Just let dat thing autoooo

One of the best and most comprehensive Wi-Fi channel videos I've ever seen! Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!

@@Behfor thank u!
Thank you. I love your previous video. It’s funny . Hard to believe it was five years ago.
Yes, what do you recommend as a wifi analyser on iOS. I know it’s limited compared to Android.
Good stuff. I've been hearing about the channel examine... thank you
Glad it was helpful! :-)

Awesoem advice! For some reason I cant change my channels on a newer Asus router even if I disable smart connect. 😅
Thanks! You should be able though!

Would definitely like to see a video from you on wi-fi analyser apps so I hope you get the likes :-)
Thanks, I think we got it :-)
My question is, how about the bandwidth? Shall we also change that? On some routers it can be also adjusted.
Awesome work👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👍👍👍

great job man what is top wifi tools and how to use it 😃
Thanks :-)

Will you include ios wifi analyzer apps?
I'll do my best :)
Thanks buddy! Can u recommend me a wifi analyser tool for 6gh frequency on android?
Please stay tuned for my next video which will answer your question, thanks 👍
@Behfor look forward to it and thanks for making things clear for the masses we are grateful sir
@@endoneezer you're very welcome 🙏
This is interesting! Also how does channel width affect things? 20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz and which is best to select?
chanel width affects a few things such as network speeds, network sub channels, and range
if you use only 20mhz then you will hand the best compatibility with wi-fi devices without congestion and better range since you can fit more data in higher mhz but it can be affected by materials and range which can lead to packet loss
2.4ghz has lower mhz due to its only able to output increments of 20 or 40 and sometimes 80mhz
5ghz can output 120 and even 160mhz which is useful for higher bandwidth demanding applications such as 4k local streaming or video uncompressed streaming
@@dvxAznxvb2 things wrong with this:
1. 2.4ghz doesn't support 80mhz
2. 5ghz doesn't support 120mhz
Anyone else laugh at the SSID "2 Girls 1 Router' ?

Maybe you can try and see if your Internet company has an app
Just call your wifi provider and tell them you want access . Some wifi providers like Comcast, and Att... let you have access to those settings only after you call and ask. Once they give you access you should be able to open your app and you will then be able to change your settings.

Sir please video vpn fusion on Asus router
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll put that on the list for sure
I have problem whit signal from 2.4. 1 meter from router still bad signal. Whit 5g and 5g 2 signal is perfect i hopw i can fix 2.4 whit chanale. :)
