Are you getting the WiFi speeds that you are paying for? What else do you want to know about home networking?
I get on wifi 500 mbps in same room with 18 ping and then I have wifi pods from my isp and there great but only 2.4 so I get a max upstairs of 200mbps wich is plenty for wifi and Xbox series s I connect via Ethernet to pod
What are your thoughts on wireless access points like ACCESS or RUCKUS. Also do you know if home business users get preferred access to Fiber. My neighbor has a home business and has Fiber with AT&T although when I contacted AT&T they said fiber is not available in my neighborhood. I'm wondering if there is a speak easy loophole that allows home business users to get first dibs on Fiber before it becomes broadly available to everyone else in the neighborhood.
I get 940Mb in DL on my IPad.

The Wi-Fi alliance really did rename all the standards from 1-6 talking about how they want to reduce consumer confusion and then go ahead and name a new frequency standard 6e instead of 7.
Haha! I may or may not still be confused about how much of a change this actually is.
I think the "6" refers to 802.11ax, which is the modulation method.. 6e adds the 6 GHz band, but it's still ax. We had the same situation with wifi 4, which is 802.11n. It was available with 2.4 GHz only or 2.4 & 5 GHz.
The new 6E WiFi band uses 6Ghz which is very fast but with low material penetration. If you're using wireless backhaul (wireless connection between mesh points) and the connection is using 2.4 or 5Ghz then you'll lose the advantage of having 6E at the remote node because traffic will bottleneck at the backhaul connection. It would be a shame not to connect the 6E mesh nodes via Ethernet cable so as to take full advantage of the 6E capabilities. If you click the globe at the top of the app and then the remote mesh node, it will tell you what backhaul method it's using.
Came here to say this! The higher the speed, the higher the frequency required to offer the bandwidth. The higher the frequency, the lower the travel distance and penetration is. That is the issue with 5g cellular, and it is why it is on so many phone poles.
^^ What this guy said. There's no reason to get a 6e mesh system if you're not going to connect them together via ethernet for proper backhaul.
I kept waiting for him to dig a trench and lay outdoor cat6 through conduit to it and put one of the nodes in the shed...Alas...
or wifi 6e/7 nodes get cheaper so that you can get multiple nodes for each room. That way you have enough coverage around your entire house. I dont see any other way since many people wont have wired ethernet backhaul connections across their house.
Hey Brett - Love how you are always on the cutting edge of everything including WiFi 6ghz. Thanks I am definitely thinking about upgrading. BTW do you have a gaming shed or is this really for your friend 🙂
It is really for a friend but I am looking to add one at my own place.
Hard wire will always be the best, I personally wouldn't have built that building without Ethernet built in
I’d like to see you add a 3rd Access Point to see if that can give you the hookup to the one in the shed to get that 200+ Mbs speed. Also are there monthly costs for using the features on the TP-Link system? Thx!
I forgot to record this but I ended up testing out one of the other points from the other kit in the shed and it definitely helped the speeds out there especially on the non Wifi 6 devices. For the main features there is no service fee. You can sign up for HomeShield Pro which does have some extra security monitoring & device control features.
Should leave a drip loop on the Ethernet cable where it comes out of the house wall.
Are your houses there made of wood/plaster board? Would it have been better to place the 2 units not directly in front of the windows, doesnt the glass hinder the signal more than wood/plasterboard?
WiFi is great and all, but someone built a new shed, presumably with power feed from the house, and did NOT also bury Ethernet/fiber to the shed?
WTF?
Great point, but I still think this is not something most people think about as a priority. For me, that would be the first thing on the list.
@@TechWithBrett I must admit to having SEVERAL times stood by an open ditch, watching it being filled in, then LATER thinking "Oh, Ethernet!"
Some people just aren't aware of the advantages of running Ethernet and they pay the price later.
Consider Ethernet Over Power lines.
What's the point of having Wi-Fi 6E when using a mesh system that degrades the signal and speed when you're getting the exact same performance on 5GHz.
I take it you replaced the old router and connected the Deco to the modem? Did you have any configuration settings to change from the ISP or was it just plug and play?
If he is trenching for power, he should definitely bury an underground ethernet cable with it too.
I've been trying to decide upgrading to Wi-Fi 6E for a few months now
My concern is would you still get truly better performance on a wired Wi-Fi 6 mesh system my entire house has ethernet built into it
nope. Nothing beats ethernet. Wifi 6E is great but you really need a lot of nodes (lot more than 3 nodes) to truly get over 1 gbps consistently if you have the ISP speeds since 6E range is much smaller.
Wifi 6e has no special technology for added range. Infact the 6ghz band has lower range than 5 and 2.4ghz.
What do u do if u only have 5ghz WiFi and need 2.4 for some devices?
So it is able to broadcast both frequencies under one name and will automatically decide which frequency the device needs to be on.
Why not install a Ethernet cable in the shed???
Yeah ik
Because ethernet is copper and there is nothing to protect from lighting strikes (such as a breaker). You should only use fiber when running data cables outdoors.
@@jeffreymayes907 Use Exterior-grade Ethernet cables and place them in a conduit in the ground.
@@IAmZen_007 while that kind of cable exists, even in conduit, it's still copper running underground. A nearby lighting strike would not only fry the networking equipment, it would also fry all the ethernet wiring in the house and every device that is plugged into the network. There are ethernet surge protectors, but they are not very effective. It's simply safer to run fiber as it's not susceptible to lighting. WIth the cost of fiber as low as it is, and media converters being inexpensive, you really have no excuse not to do the job properly.
@@jeffreymayes907 I agree with you but all depends on the budget and the needs. You could also install outside Wifi.
Just buy a ASUS router, problem solved....
lol
Yes my favourite setup would be to have the newest isp router I can get from my isp then connect a WiFi 6e Asus router and tp link mesh and have a a few plugged in with ethernet and have ethernet run every room with a access point with WiFi 6e

First Comment! 🥇
Pro tip: Take those square footage numbers on the box and cut them in half for real world use.
Good tip. I have also seen a big difference in the home construction. Paper thin walls allow wifi to transfer farther and solid homes need a bit more help.
Your best option is to run fiber between the house and the other building.
100% agree! Particularly since they have not run the power yet (at the time the video was made)
Whoa! Hold on there buddy!!! When you rip the plastic off can you please do it slowly? We need to be able to enjoy that
Haha! Sorry.
This is the best XE75 video i've seen. I just ordered a set yesterday, and had a few questions about set-up, and this video answered them. Thanks!
The 6 Ghz is only very close range like in the same room. It can not pass through walls very well if at all. Its more of a gimick then anything pratical. Also there are very few 6 Ghz clients available so its not worth the purchase.
If they don't have power in the shed yet (at the time the video was made), why would you not pull a fiber optic line when you pull AC? Much more reliable, fast and worth the effort.
Need to give better info on what QoS is. It’s one of the more important things to look for in a router imo. Love the content here 🍻
A lot of people who get wifi devices. They put out bad reviews but most of the time it has nothing to do with them at all. It’s the internet speed that you sign up for. When you pay for 500 to 600 Mbps and don’t have the right modem or 10 device all using more data. Than what your plan cost for buffering is what you get.
Can't wait for WiFi 7 I can get 40gbps hopefully this is what qualcom says Wi-Fi 7 can deliver massive throughput gains thanks to a wider channel and capacity gains from 6GHz spectrum. Wi-Fi 7 can deliver peak rates of over 40 Gbps, a 4X increase over Wi-Fi 6E
Just trench a fiber line out to the shed and be done with it.
senin tablet s7 6e destelemiyor 6e olan cihazlar ile test et sonuçlar daha hızlı cıkacak
Those speeds are terrible for such a system.
And u never want to mix and match modems cause u will be limited by the SLOWEST modem/router
I have the pro verson of the 2 pack xe75 pro and the issue that i am having with the second xe75 pro auto detec but not recieving an ip adddress at all he main deco xe75 pro is in ap mode and is plugged into my isp modem witch act as a dchp server.
Things that i had done with the second xe75 pro plug it into my isp router via ethernet , power it on when it next to main deco and even use the tplink emergency firmware recovery to update the 2nd deo xe75 pro
Hi, Brett. A nice comprehensive review. I noticed you use a Tab S7 for testing. Do you have an S8 (which supports 6E)? My S8 refuses to connect to my Ubiquiti 6E access point. 2.4 and 5gHz connect perfectly. Have you seen any similar problems with any equipment on 6E? Thanks!
I would personally use a cable from house to shed. Is better for desktop using Lan. WIFI is ok for tels and tablets.
Ethernet Backhaul is extremely important. If Ethernet would have been ran to the shed then you would be receiving 300mbps. The way you currently have it setup you are only receiving 75% of 75% of your connection. Wi-Fi backhaul is ok but not nearly as consistent as Ethernet backhaul..Just saying …
I think down the road that is something I will help them do. Definitely the best option.
@@TechWithBrett yeah set that mesh pod in as access point and put in the shed and run a cat 7 in black plastic tubing
The router shouldn't be placed next to a window.
way to expensieve, i have the older M9 and X50outdore
When they add power to the shed I’d run an ethernet wire also. Since they’ll most likely be trenching from the home to the shed just add an additional run of conduit for the Ethernet line.
Don't ever use ethernet underground as it susceptible to lighting strikes. Fiber is the way to go as there is no copper.
my internet speed is like 3.3 mbps to like 6.5 mbps not good at all
Hi Brett - please share the code. Thanks
My internet speed no longer fast the more I add devices.
It might be your router has limited device support. You might also want to lookup how to do a firmware update.
@@TechWithBrett or don't use the isp provided router only use if needed but if its getting slow don't
QoS = Prioritizing network traffic. Not, reporting problems. 🤣 Mesh devices are intended to be spaced center, of outer most location. NOT, place the mesh device in the same room as the device connecting. Defeats the purpose of the mesh device. If the signal is poor to your connecting device in a particular room, so too, will be the mesh devices connection to the primary router.
I ran a Ethernet cable to a ax1500 Wi-Fi exstender with WiFi 6 and put the exstender in access point mode. I wanted to get Wi-Fi and Ethernet to converted garage now a living room for me
When setting these up, or any mesh system for that matter, is it best to use the same network name that is already in use through my ISP? With another mesh system I set up using a new network name, I noticed that the old Wi-fi network appears to continue working. I'm plugged into a gateway from my ISP (modem/router) so do I simply plug into one of the Ethernet ports on the gateway or do I need to disconnect anything from the gateway?
Not my favorite type of Wi-Fi mesh setup. There going to be so much overhead because each AP is essentially a relay to get back to the router.
Im led to believe you should not usr this type of system plugged into an extension lead as they dont like them. Will you try again when they get propper plug sockets
Im using Asus AI mesh to cover from driveway to backyard with 2 router RT-AXU86 and its working fine.
can it be used as an access point only cause i got a dedicated router already and no plan of changing it just need the wifi capabilities of this device tnx
Such a shame that there are mesh systems, routers, and powerline adapters out there that are advertised with high speeds, but are limited because of a 100 Mbit ethernet port.
I have a bar shed with 3 tvs running roku sticks and use the Deco 3000 system and works very well
this is such a great review, better than the other ones where i was trying to find info.
question, wouldnt the wifi speed cap based on the device itself (in your case the ipad)?
Should of use the 3 pack
Awesome. I needed this video. I’m having internet connection issues almost every week. Have to constantly disconnect and reconnect router n modem. Plus it doesn’t reach the other side of my house which is not big at all.
I tried Unifi with Ubiquiti, never go back
Did you try an ethernet backhaul for better speeds over wifi?
TV? Games? Netflix? All critical for an "office". ;-)
Can I use this with Google Fiber? If not what do you suggest?
5:23 quality of service, so you can report issues lol? QoS is for limiting speeds for some and or saving bandwidth for important clients. For instance, you don’t want someone’s download making your Netflix stream cut out or reduce stream quality.
Oh right, thanks!
TP Link Omada or Ubiquiti. Rookie.
Omada APs are monstrosities, would anyone really put that into their home?
@@futurecactus the v2 ones look a lot better
TP Link? Lol…😂
Ok now I need to see how your friend building that...
One word: SHHHtronger
Brett, nice test! How many feet was it from the shed to the base unit? Obviously, that was the issue you were having.
Great Video Brett; looking forward to more content from you!
why in the hell would anyone test a 6E system with 300megabit service? wifi5 can easily do that.
Well to see if he can get better or not and it was more reliable like in mid 289 on 6e and WiFi 5 was 245
Great video thank you for the information I have a gig which I never get anywhere I also have a WiFi extender almost in every single room TP link and I still don't get anything we have about 15 things connected, fire sticks and every room but used to main ones coma I just had to get another extender For the deck mind you I only have 1,000 square ' I have a concrete home block however when I had bright house I never had this issue it's only with fios... I have their router so my question to you is if I already get 2 of these would I be able to get rid of all my extenders and should I get my own router and if so would rather do you recommend also do you do video calls that will be awesome
Extenders don't speed up your connection, they only repeat it. The more you get, the more wifi interference you're introducing into your home and the more confused your end device is going to be. WIth 1K sqft, you shouldn't have to have even one extender to be honest.
You won't get a gig over wifi on any platform. The most I've seen is 650-750 on WiFi 6. Most devices aren't rated for WiFi 6e as well.
Also, fire sticks will never be able to get a gig because they're just not rated for it. They're the cheapest streaming device, and just don't have the processing power.
Paying for 1 gig service, they say you get UP TO 1 gig, however they don't guarantee speeds over wifi because there're too many variables (drywall vs. plaster, other EMF interference in the home, etc). Hard wiring devices is the only way you'll get a gig, and that's only if said device has the processing power to keep up.
Use the new ethernet cabl between the modem and the router
This will be a game changer for my wifi because I have so many different smart home things that need good Wi-Fi and this would be good for my smart home.
I didn't go into that but you are exactly right. Some of the lower end models only support 45 devices so these should give you plenty.
Can the nodes be connected via a wired backhaul?
Absolutely, YES! Id find it hard for anyone to not prefer a wired backhaul. The only exception might be an argument for decor. Also another thought might be COSTS that Wireless backhaul requires less infrastructure assets compared to its wired counterpart, reducing the equipment and installation COSTS [cost examples might include conduit, the cable itself per foot, specially rated cable for fire rating/exterior cable/cable with EMI protection, jacks, switches, cable drops + more]. For a Wireless backhaul generally its recommended to use the star topology (top) vs daisy-chain topology applies mostly to a mesh without wired backhauls; It’s where you place the satellites around the primary router. This arrangement ensures each satellite directly connects to the main router, making the Wi-Fi signals hop only once from the router before it gets to the end client. Hope this helps answer your question.
I'll pester your friend into building you a shed. I know he really likes helping people.
Haha! It's only fair right? I think I have the perfect spot for one.
@@TechWithBrett yes you should make a shed put a pc and make a man cave for you and still have your office

Great info and review as always.👍
Keep It Up Brett!!!
wi-fi 7 is coming in 2024..
Didn't know will hopefully wait
Finally. A reviewer that shows speeds with real life implications!!!
Old fashion way, you still need to pull a electrical cable, just add ethernet or fiber and connect a router especial for the office.
