That's because it's still peer to peer for actual gameplay and if someone doesn't have a good enough wifi they could disconnect and even worse if the randomly selected host has bad internet then a lobby crash may occur where multiple people disconnect. Now this would be fixed with a server based online system but even with peer to peer it is possible to have much better netcode where this only happens in rare circumstances but Nintendo has never been good with netcode and it still sucks three whole games in...
Changing your DNS will only speed up the time it takes for the initial connection to be made. It *will not* increase your internet speeds. If you saw an improvement, it is either unrelated or caused by transmitting more data overall because you spent less time initializing.
Be careful with QoS setting. It does sacrifice speed for reliability. So rather than devices getting full bandwidth, it will reduce bandwidth to make sure it obeys the priority list as best as possible. So your gaming session will get a more reliable lets say... 60ms of latency rather than full bandwidth and be bouncing between 45ms and 70ms of latency depending on traffic. Not saying to not use it. It has its pros and cons. You just need to test it our for yourself and see if the setting is right for you.
Thanks for the tips man. I tweaked my Switch settings, as you had suggested, and my download/upload speeds did increase a bit. I can see the difference. I appreciate it.
This video is just what I needed!!! For a very long time Ive been wanting to enhance my network but theres too much information, and I was not about to spend more than 500 for some random guy on the internet that I dont trust. My boyfriend and I are fans of your content and trust what you say. So now I feel a lot more comfortable to spend my money efficiently by your recomendations. Dont change man! Excellent video, as always!
Something I recently discovered is Easymesh, which is the WiFi Alliance's Mesh system that allows for intercompatibility. I upgraded the firmware of my ISP's router, installed some cables over the roof, purchased two new routers, and set up a three-node mesh network in my home. This setup cost me only a quarter of what it would have cost to buy a similar-featured mesh product. I must say, these ASUS routers are truly worth it due to their numerous features and WiFi 6 capability but I'd still recommend you to search for your router's model to see if it supports Easymesh. If it does, you can still enjoy the benefits of a mesh network without spending a fortune.
Those routers do seem really useful but $300-$500 for one is wild. I think I’ll just do the tweaks you mentioned with my current wifi and see how that helps 👍
Ya don't need to go THIS overboard. Personally I use a ASUS RT-AX82U (about $150ish usually) With two rp-ax 58 ($100), one on each side of the House. Their hardwire to the main one. I got rock solid wifi 6 beyond my half acre through concrete block walls and all. I don't think I will need anything faster, I get full speed throughout the house and prooerty. About $350 and no more wifi issues ever again. Consider me a happy camper
To be honest it depends on your knowledge of how to configure a router. The presented router seems to have a really nice UI so that non-IT guys can easily configure it the way you want. My router is dramatically cheaper and is more than enough for everything I do BUT it doesn't have that fancy UI and I am the IT guy and know how it works (what I need at the very least :P - not a network expert).
Great video, Bob You tend to make a sponsored video a bit more informative and thus worth watching 👍 - Would love to see a PC building video like this as I'm currently looking into building one for myself 🙃
@@RG36 Yeah, I'm fine with ads BTW, people have to pay bills. But I usually just skip them, unless they are written like this, with an informative angle
That’s always exciting! I remember when I was looking into PC building a couple years ago and that’s all I play nowadays. There’s lots of useful how to videos out there and there’s also a lot of step by step guides too so don’t be afraid! What are you trying to play on PC?
@@pete1042 Yeah, it's a lot more fun than I anticipated! :) Even the parts selection is kinda enjoyable haha. I'm looking to play anything from Sonic Mania to Cyberpunk and Metro Exodus. Coming from consoles I'm a bit torn on the GPU front, as I think (proper) ray tracing implementation is one of the things that makes the PC platform special... Nvidia seems better on all fronts at the high-end but it looks like AMD offers more value.
@@Nucleosynthese If RT is something you’re looking for then Nvidia is pretty much ahead on all fronts when compared to AMD. If i’m being honest something you’ll want to take into account in terms of the GPU you chose is the VRAM. 8 GB should be the min rn and even that’s a bit on the lower end especially considering newer games are going to demand more. I have an 8GB card with my 3060Ti and I haven’t had much trouble but tbh I mainly play indies and triple A games that allow mods - everything else I tend to get on my PS5.
Just a heads up but 1400 mtu is most likely for compatibilty. in cases where it is over what a device along the line is able to handle it will usually break up the packets which could make speeds slower
I just started renting a new house. I considered a mesh setup, and still might do it, but the fiber in is right in the middle of the house, so the modem is, too. Really the trick is getting flat ethernet cables and adhering them to the baseboards to go through the house; to my bedroom, to the living room, and to the basement. Can't drill holes in this house! Just using flat ethernet cables and white duct tape.
I will never unsee that crooked lampshade. I only say this because your "sets" are consistently immaculate. So much so that a microscopically crooked lampshade is like mustard on a white t-shirt. 😅 Thank you for the consistent high-quality, thorough, and down to Earth content fam 👌
Changing the MTU from 1400 to 1500 actually slowed my network down (could have just been random so at best, no change) but the DNS server settings gave it a boost!
I use a google mesh router and it's been night and day. The only downside is that it only has one Ethernet port on each node. The main node is in the living room with my consoles, so i bought a TP Link network switch for around $20 on amazon and connected it to the main node and then ran Ethernet cables from the network switch to my consoles and other hardwired devices. Probably not the most efficient network setup, but it's a hell of a lot better than my old "gaming" routers. All of my ping issues and packet loss issues were resolved even when connecting everything to WiFi. I just wanted to run a wired connection to my consoles for peace of mind.
I didn't realize you were in the NY-ish area. If you ever do a meet up, I'd go for sure. Most creators tend to be on the opposite coast so I get excited when creators are on the east coast
Blindly changing your MTU to 1500 is NOT always going to increase your download speed. If you're in the UK on a PPPoE based connection (so any xDSL or FTTP connection via Openreach) this will lead to packet fragmentation and will SLOW your download speeds as the max MTU should be 1492.. Also switching your DNS to Google is going to have no effect on your download speed whatsoever. It may make your connection more responsive though.
Word to the wise, you’ll want to use Command Prompt for calculating an MTU Value for Ethernet usage. Otherwise, you aren’t letting your Ethernet’s header information pass through, and will cause Packet Bloat. Love you, Wulf. 🎉
On the MTU note, it's not totally correct. Less bigger packages gives more speed and the correct value It's a case-by-case thing, you can find out which value is actually the best for you with a ping test with different MTU values until all packages got received. Also we don't use the same network types, PPPoE actually uses 1490 MTU by default. Them setting by default to that value basically covers every network as a whole, since PPPoA etc that use 1500 can also go at 1490. As for ports, usually DHCP automatically opens ports for whatever you are using. Opening your NAT to have NAT 1 might be ok if only to specific games (but then again, you have DHCP that do the same thing so....why?) and is generally a bad idea because it can let you exposed online for hacking attacks etc, it's usually not safe to have (especially when you already know that consoles sometimes got hacked to get your credit card data etc. This shit happens from time to time). But i guess it's just to show what the device can do.
Personally I'm a fan of Unifi. It's nice separate my routing and WiFi. Means that future upgrades to the Wi-Fi only require swapping out the access point.
4:03 I know this video is old and your probably not going to read this comment. You mentioned punching holes in your wall to run Ethernet. But your house looks newer. Almost all newer houses (late 90s or later) use ethernet cable for the phone lines. Running Ethernet in most newer houses is as easy as buying a crimping tool and changing out the wall plate for Ethernet plates. To check if it’s possible take off a phone jack plate and see if there are 4 twisted pairs. If there is your house has Ethernet cables already in the walls. I watched a random RUclips video and immediately ran to the basement to check where the phone lines come in before it was even over. Boom.
Congrats on the house! It’s wierd realizing that’s your house. I figured you would have a darker color scheme in the castle. I can’t imagine you living in such a bright white space lol 😂🎉🎉🎉
I got this and for some reason both routers won’t recognize my Ethernet Fios connection. It just says no network cable detected. But my previous Google WiFi Pro works just fine.
What sucks is where I live only one internet provider is available cus they block everyone else out and due to this they make it expensive and no matter what I do, new router, new dns, mtu changes etc. I always get around 5mbps down and 213kbps up. I pay for 50 down and 20 up.
These theoretical speeds are just that, theoretical and often combine both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz (or 6ghz band of applicable) into 1 number. Its just for advertising and unrealistic. Plus you cant go faster than the connection running into it, so if you want speed be prepared to pay for faster internet at your ISP. This is way too expensive and overkill for 99.9% of people. Much cheaper systems that don’t have the gamer aesthetic are going to be just as good for a fraction of the price, and if you feel you actually need more performance, Hardwire it with an Ethernet cable to your existing router.
this video reminded me i should finally dig out my old asus router and setup that aimesh thing with my newer one. this is how i found out it's a RT-AC66U which doesn't support aimesh. the RT-AC66U B1 version supports aimesh. rip
Check to make sure your current AT&T equipment and whatever you've added can support 1gig of transfer speed, including the type of Ethernet cables connecting it all. I work for an ISP and that's normally the start of the issue.
i have this router, and i set it up, i want to stay only with the router´s wifi signal,. i tried to put the modem into bridge mode, but it turn off all signal including the wifi, how can i stay only with the router´s wifi signal?
Does anyone use powerline network adapters? I love mine. They basically allow you to run ethernet through your house's powerlines so you can have a wired connection anywhere. I'm not sure if the signal is reduced or whatever, but mine work great and I prefer them over trying to super boost my wifi all over the house just to just my playstation.
question. I have an ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 & 2 ROG Rapture GT6s. I have a large area to cover. I was told by ASUS Tech support before I bought them that they will work together. Well I was given the AXE16000 but I bought the 2 GT6s for the extended space. I told them I planned on using the AXE16000 as my main router and the 2 ROG GT6s as 2 nodes or what ever you want to call them. They told me they will work. Today when I called tech support they told me you cannot use them this way. Both devices under their specs say AiMesh capable. Are you familiar with these? If so do you know if they will work like I am hoping they will? If they do where do you recommend I go for quality support to get help setting them up. ASUS customer tech support is terrible. I read my serial number to the guy 10 times and I swear they were just not listening. Also for your info. I plan to have my AXE16000 connected to my ISP modem. My ISP does not have a built in router/wifi. So I will not need to put anything on their equipment in bridge mode. So the AXE16000 will be my router and I will have the 2 GT6s spread out far away on other side of building. My AXE16000 is next to and connected to a 16 port gigabit switch. I have Ethernet ran in the walls all the way out to where both GT6s are located. So the internet will be supplied from my AXE16000 through Cat6 to my GT6s so they will not be receiving WiFi signal from AXE16000 to the GT6s but instead they will be directly connected via Ethernet. I am hoping I can have the 2 GT6s receive wired internet and then broadcast WiFi from there to devices on that side of building. Will this work and how do I go about doing this? Thanks for your help in advance.
the speed isnt important when youre in the game latency is what really matters. games dont use a ton of broadband.. For "gamers" what speed is useful for is downloading things faster. thats it. this is why nobody should want wifi for gaming. the latency is almost always worse (and less stable) than a wired connection.
Our family got ethernet about a year or so ago and it makes a HUGE difference in everything. I went from downloading a game in hours to literal 10 minutes it's crazy.
Why couldn't this video have come out a couple weeks before I bought a bunch of new equipment for my new place lol. Though I did do a mesh network setup so didn't learn too much new stuff.
Awesome video as always! I was wondering if someone from the community could weigh in on this: Is there a way to directly add a VPN to your router settings? I ask because in Puerto Rico, some services won't work. While I can easily turn on a VPN on my phone to solve the problem, I can't use TV apps on devices like Roku or Google TV.
Great video as always, but I would not touch another Asus router after my experience. Every update I get and the router stop working. After that happens (everytime) I have to factory reset the router.
I can't seem to find a clear answer on this, and it's also very likely that I am just slow.. But do you need to buy the two pack? Can you use just one? I know the whole points of the nodes or whatever, but could I buy just one and add another later?? 😂
I just bought these. Instant drop in performance. The connection is spotty. The speeds went from 340mb down and over a 100mb up, to less than 100mp and 7 up. I bought it for the security features that other mesh systems don’t have. It is 100% a waste of money. I moved from googles original mesh network. Going to contact asus support and see what they have to say. If they can see a setting that is eating the bandwidth and fix it I’ll update my comment.

Even with the fastest connection, somehow people would still get disconnected from a Splatoon 3 lobby 😂
That's not about speed, that's about nintendos ALL STAR net code lmao
That's because it's still peer to peer for actual gameplay and if someone doesn't have a good enough wifi they could disconnect and even worse if the randomly selected host has bad internet then a lobby crash may occur where multiple people disconnect. Now this would be fixed with a server based online system but even with peer to peer it is possible to have much better netcode where this only happens in rare circumstances but Nintendo has never been good with netcode and it still sucks three whole games in...
That’s not the internets fault, that’s Nintendo falling behind current innovation.
Bro FACTS!!!
They use P2P. That has nothing to do with your connection, unless you're the host. 🤦🤦🤦
Man I didn't have an issue with my internet speeds before, but now I really wanna upgrade my router

Cheers from Vegas man
Ayeeee glad ya discovered Asus routers. I remember tweeting you about it after ya mentioned crappy wifi on the wulffden podcast
Blindly changing your MTU to 1500 is NOT always going to increase your download speed. If you're in the UK on a PPPoE based connection (so any xDSL or FTTP connection via Openreach) this will lead to packet fragmentation and will SLOW your download speeds as the max MTU should be 1492..
Also switching your DNS to Google is going to have no effect on your download speed whatsoever. It may make your connection more responsive though.
I personally would do CloudFlare DNS and do 1420 MTU, seem to work the best as far as I have tested.
There's a timestamp for the dog. 10/10
Probably the closest thing to a house tour we are going to get from bob lol
That’s impressive to say the least. Def will apply!
Word to the wise, you’ll want to use Command Prompt for calculating an MTU Value for Ethernet usage.
Otherwise, you aren’t letting your Ethernet’s header information pass through, and will cause Packet Bloat.

whats that app you are using to change the settings?
How’d you get the black joycons?
So glad you made this. I’ve had 1 gig AT&T Fiber for over 2 years now and I feel like I don’t get the speeds I’m supposed to

Is this a router modem combo or do I need a modem as well?
I should mention I use Comcast and I'm trying to get rid of as many cables as I can.

Also for your info. I plan to have my AXE16000 connected to my ISP modem. My ISP does not have a built in router/wifi. So I will not need to put anything on their equipment in bridge mode. So the AXE16000 will be my router and I will have the 2 GT6s spread out far away on other side of building. My AXE16000 is next to and connected to a 16 port gigabit switch. I have Ethernet ran in the walls all the way out to where both GT6s are located. So the internet will be supplied from my AXE16000 through Cat6 to my GT6s so they will not be receiving WiFi signal from AXE16000 to the GT6s but instead they will be directly connected via Ethernet.
I am hoping I can have the 2 GT6s receive wired internet and then broadcast WiFi from there to devices on that side of building.
Will this work and how do I go about doing this?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Your dog is so cute 😂
If I have GT AXE16000 can I connect these to act as extenders?
This is great video with amazing info thank you man.
This router, node no needs other router? I hve asus ax11000 pro mesh with asus ax11000 . I buy it before know this mesh system 😓
the speed isnt important when youre in the game
latency is what really matters. games dont use a ton of broadband..
For "gamers" what speed is useful for is downloading things faster. thats it.
this is why nobody should want wifi for gaming. the latency is almost always worse (and less stable) than a wired connection.
Our family got ethernet about a year or so ago and it makes a HUGE difference in everything. I went from downloading a game in hours to literal 10 minutes it's crazy.
That $10 cable really made a difference huh
Why couldn't this video have come out a couple weeks before I bought a bunch of new equipment for my new place lol. Though I did do a mesh network setup so didn't learn too much new stuff.
Awesome video as always! I was wondering if someone from the community could weigh in on this: Is there a way to directly add a VPN to your router settings? I ask because in Puerto Rico, some services won't work. While I can easily turn on a VPN on my phone to solve the problem, I can't use TV apps on devices like Roku or Google TV.
I think you can set up a VPN in a device running PiHole and reroute your TV's traffic through it
I switched from the Xbox Series S to the Xbox Series X and it doubled my download speed.
Don’t know why but my switch wont let me change the network settings. It just says exit without saving or cancel
Great video as always, but I would not touch another Asus router after my experience. Every update I get and the router stop working. After that happens (everytime) I have to factory reset the router.
I can't seem to find a clear answer on this, and it's also very likely that I am just slow.. But do you need to buy the two pack? Can you use just one? I know the whole points of the nodes or whatever, but could I buy just one and add another later?? 😂
What do I do if my modem IS my router?
Me with about 10 Mbps: well shit I can't even watch live streams
That's a weird looking cat
I'm in the USA and I wanted to know if a 200 mb download speed is good?
If I have Spectrum, would this work?
Wondering the same but probably will
This video really ended at 1:19
I was excited to see a possible way of having a better wifi setup for my Portal at the back of the house… then I see the ROG Rapture Gt6 is $250…. 😓
3:19 please fix this! :)
Dude racking up the sponsors.
new house tour ;)
You say ASUS the same way gringos say Jesus in spanish.
thats a good boy
Any router that has leds already is a nono.
I just bought these. Instant drop in performance. The connection is spotty. The speeds went from 340mb down and over a 100mb up, to less than 100mp and 7 up. I bought it for the security features that other mesh systems don’t have. It is 100% a waste of money. I moved from googles original mesh network. Going to contact asus support and see what they have to say. If they can see a setting that is eating the bandwidth and fix it I’ll update my comment.
