Great video. The preface was done very well. It was articulate in a much simpler way for better understanding. The mesh routers are a step up, indubitably, in terms of network congestion and overall WiFi speed.
your content is just simply so simple to understand and your explanation was slow and accurate for me to understand , thank you so much for these kind of videos , i got your video on a recommendation on my home page, i am from india, and i am using tp link AX90 and AC3150, but tp link is not bringing any of the latest routers to india, the best mesh system here was deco x60, we don't even have a tri band mesh system yet, feel really bad, ya'll americans get the latest tech, love ya man!
Not a bad video, good job Joshua. You forgot to mention that 802.11a worked via 5 ghz but was mainly used for enterprise prior to the dual band routers being released. The TP link Deco app though I find to be leaving much to be desired compared to google wifi. The tests I believe are being done at the client device not the client gateway like google wifi.
I pay for 400mbps, but my previous router only got me 80 at the most over wifi, with my new router I installed today with wifi 6, I get 311mbps over wifi while ethernet gives me roughly 460mbps while other devices are connected.
@@nancybrown9706 lol im using some modem shipped by the network supplier as an extra access point and it easily reaches 500 mb/s, it says its capable of 1200 wireless on 5g. Paid like 50 for it I think.
Nicely done video, clear explanations and easy to follow. Did not see (or missed?) what was your ISP download speed (subscription 1 gig?), only what the tests showed (~8:37). Was ethernet 538 Mbps reflect/approximate the ISP download speed? Looking to maybe upgrade my Netgear Orbi RBK50 (router+satellite). Thank you.
As someone who installs google fiber I can say their routers are decent but there are better ones out there. On average I see about 400 mbps download over Wi-Fi. Hardline is always better. Great info! I’ll be recommending this product.
6E is great for speed and bandwidth. It's allowing my ISP 1G plan to get to my devices. The only problem is the 120v smart switch at the front porch light is dysfunctional due to not being compatible with the 6E tri-band router; Netgear Nighthawk RAXE-500.
Great video! The highway example really did clear things for me. Just curious, do you think wifi can replace cellular? (giving that there exist routers in the form of wifi base stations)
Do you know what devices can utilize WiFi 6e? Someone told me that in my house (all Apple iPhone 12's, Ring cameras, smart TV's, Google Nest smoke detector, Chromebook that's 2-3 yrs old) that a Wifi 6e router (or even Wifi 6) would be of no use to me (I currently have a TP-Link AX5400 wifi 6 router).
I have a 3 floor house. I’m gonna get the 3 pack of XE75. For simplicity should my setup be like this .•* One node bottom left (basement), router middle, node top right second floor?
Hi So I got google Wifi Pro when I first added it to my network I saw 6E on my phone now I can't is there any way I can see it again at the top of my phone Thx
ever tried powerline? it pretty much uses your electric wires as a big ethernet cord. depending on how your house is built, u pretty much get 1:1 download/upload speeds. tp link makes those as well.
I purchased the 3 unit set from Costco last week and set it up a few days ago. Pretty happy with it. I have a 1GB cable connection as my ISP and able to get 400-500 download speeds and 60-70 upload on an iPhone X through out the entire house. I'm currently using the 6ghz channel as my dedicated backhaul, but plan on testing opening it up this weekend. I am still playing around with fast roaming and beamforming to see if having them enabled/disabled works better for me and some of my older devices. Overall satisfied and not seeing the drops I was seeing prior to a mesh setup.
Joshua, can you make another content, which explained TP-Link WiFi 6E products connect to internet using Starlink specially in the Mesh Network configuration, thank you waiting for that topic if it is already available in RUclips. Warm Regards. 👍👍👌👌
Ok this is cool, but a Unifi Dream Router and an additional U6 AP can be had for the same total cost, with much more features and configuration options. Using a router like the one shown here is fine, until you need firewall policies and VLANs.
As someone who has worked doing installs for a company that does both fiber optic and wireless internet, almost nobody will use firewall policies or set up VLANs. Your point is still correct, but I'd still recommend this mesh router setup to people vs the Dream and an extra AP. Much simpler for most people.
@@vegetalkostreaming8026 wtf im here in austria on country (4-5 km outside of town) and have LTE with 150 Mbit/s in LTE. with my smartphone tarif contract i even have 5G but its limits to 150/50 so i don‘t now if it would be faster mabye 300+ Mbit/s
Doesn't bother us too much in the UK. We're so far behind the world that I struggle to get 35meg where I live and I live in a city and not in the countryside.
Will this help with my wifi speed/ download speed for my Xbox? My apartment complex doesn’t have fiber optic cables so I’m basically having a hamster run on a wheel 24/7 for my internet
No this won’t help you. Your Xbox doesn’t support WiFi 6e. If you want the best possible experience you should be hardwiring your Xbox. That will always be better than anything wireless
That's not how it works. It could be due to bad cables, or bad ethernet NICs on each side. Ethernet should be lower latency and support the highest bandwidth though these advancements to WiFi do close the gap.
The big issue is Wi-Fi 6E is basically useless unless you have a multigig connection. Even if you have a multigig connection which I do it’s pointless because you need 2.5 Gb ports.
It’s definitely not useless. Also if your trying to do multi gig speed you do it hardwired not over WiFi. WiFi 6E biggest benefit is that there is way less interference. The fact that there is also more spectrum does mean in the future the potential to have higher speeds over WiFi however as it stands today that’s not possible because of limitations on client devices. That being said this is a huge deal for WiFi it’s the first time in over a decade that more spectrum became available to be used for WiFi
Those nes WiFi standards are not just about speeds, but also efficency and better dealing with dense traffic around, you want people around you to use latest standard as older devices wont use band space as efficently.
Super detailed video! New setup looks crazy good can't wait for the setup tour
Great video. The preface was done very well. It was articulate in a much simpler way for better understanding. The mesh routers are a step up, indubitably, in terms of network congestion and overall WiFi speed.
Great video Josh! Really breaks down Wi-Fi 6-e in a way that’s digestible for the consumer.

Get you a netgear nighthawk WiFi 6 e router and you will get your 400 mb per sec speeds it’s worth the price of 499
I get over 600down mbps over wifi 6. I paid for 1000 mbps att fiber.

Great video .. I like the case on your phone which one is it ?
I like it!
Now that very good understanderable explaination with video 👍👍
Great way to explain how WiFi works
However, the benchmark method can do a lot better...

Would this work in an apartment with 2.4 with 25mbps of download internet speed? If yes, how much of an improvement would it be?
What if you buy 5ghz extender in the lower room for full speed? And change the router settings
Does Wi-Fi 6e help spotty ping issue?
BTW what is the connection speed you using from your ISP 1Gbps!!
Run pfsense or opnsense as your router. Get a mikrotik switch with 10gbe and use these as wifi access points.

Lmao your iphone X is not even a wifi 6 capable. Hiw did you come up with this conclusion
@@ad78 The iPhone is showing those speeds on speed test without 6ghz (currently being used for my backhaul so I know nothing is connected to it).
I'm about to pick up my Costco 3-pack tomorrow and will test the 6 GHz band with my Pixel 6 Pro, which does support that frequency. Can't wait! 😆

"Only 90mbits" bro thats my max here! I could upgrade to up to 250mbits down but thats it and it would cost another 30€ a month!
Well and then you have someone like me living in "town" and having 20mbits max 😅

Your in the Bay Area?
so a dual bans, tri band router has more bigger, faster channels and the ghz, mhtz are the speed of the wifi?
when will wifi 6e routers become avalible?
When you buy the router do you have to buy a wifi plan, or is it covered with the router?
the router gives you wifi but you have to buy an internet plan to access the internet
If you enable a separate 6GHz network on this router, will it disable a 6GHz backhaul? Will it mean that a backhaul will use 5GHz in this case?
They have a dual 6 ghz network and backhaul option
You said that you always thought that radio station frequency numbers were arbitrary?????
This seems rather a hard sell for a single product, but otherwise the information is very useful.
I consider Wi-Fi 6E as a glorified Bluetooth, as soon as you step out of the room you lose signal.
Samsung s22 ultra use wifi 6e

No this won’t help you. Your Xbox doesn’t support WiFi 6e. If you want the best possible experience you should be hardwiring your Xbox. That will always be better than anything wireless
8:40
Pretty sure it’s because wired priorities low latency over higher download speed.
I’ve always gotten higher download speed wirelessly than wired, but worse latency.
That's not how it works. It could be due to bad cables, or bad ethernet NICs on each side. Ethernet should be lower latency and support the highest bandwidth though these advancements to WiFi do close the gap.
U think 🤔 & u think, no measurements or Proof ?
Bay Area!
I pay for 1000 Mbit/s and I get 10-70 and it crashes like 7 times in a day I live in Germany and I pay 40€ for it
this makes me want to upgrade to wifi 6E to lower my ping who is somehow 10938ms
Frequency isn't type of a wave....**Frequency is the number of complete oscillation of a wave in one second...
so, ok, 5400mbps, really nice... but does it have 10gbps ethernet? else that buttload of wireless bandwith is of no use.
If you're already running 10Ge, WTF do you need Wi-Fi for?
here, the backbone itself nothing near the wifi 2.4GHz max speed 😅
FM 88-108kHz not MHz

"Future proof"?
You are kidding right?
That is not nearly enough data bandwidth for good VR/AR now let alone the future.
😂😂 most people don't even have wifi 6
I completely leapfrogged Wi-Fi 6 cuz I was waiting for 6E. The extra band was more important to me than the other technologies.
