I'm still laughing at "it hurts when IP"
Mine is: It Hertz WAN IP
I made it my ssid and nobody thought it was funny ;-;
It's "8Hz WAN IP" but yeah it's funny as hell 😂
LOL that's my phone's hotspot name
Its a famous username. Obviously copied
My WiFi name is 'Obtaining IP address...' people just stare at it waiting to get connected and later realising the gimmick
that is a smart move bigups buddy
Set your password to "itdoesnthaveapassword" for more confusion if they ask you for the password.
or make it "from1to8"
Love it! Kinda like a screen shot of your desktop used as your screen saver, always good for a laugh.
@Lucas Zhu Mine is called 404 - Network not Found
The last router I had couldn't support so many characters, so it was only "404 Network Not Found"

America are way behind lol
Hoi Kay Li I don’t understand we don’t have much broadband data caps here in the USA as well
@@iambatman786 What? I've never experienced a data cap other than on a cell phone.
Lmao some routers have caps?
Shame Linus, you had the perfect opportunity to segway into a Tunnel Bear ad, and instead you went with Synergy.
segue not segway
tunnel bear is garbage if you don't pay for it
Generally speaking, if you don't pay for it, they money to fund the service has to come from somewhere. Maybe from other paid users, but also maybe from selling data. Not saying Tunnel Bear does this, but be careful of your provider.
+Pijen I Segway everwhere, even through tunnels and bears.
*Harry* lol
"If you don't trust your friends to stay under your data cap"
I hate data caps, they need to be vanquished.
Sporkinator they wanted to implement data caps in germany and they (vodafone I think) got a huge shitstorm and then it got scraped
100%.
I could say the same about friends.
They slowly are, but they're still common place, somehow.
I just ran out of data on my phone today, I went from having 60% of my data used up to all of it in one day, because I was downloading some crap from Ninite.com through a personal hotspot
MrCatFace 8885 I'm not sure if you are in the US, or not, but on Cricket you can get unlimited data on your phone for $55 a month after auto pay, and for an extra $10 a month you can use your phone as a hotspot, but the only catches are they limit your speed to 8Mbits/8Mbits and if you are in a heavy traffic area for AT&T since they own Cricket after a 22GB softcap they can deprioritize you, but I've not experienced it other then a common signal dropout on a bad weather day, or an area of my town which is almost a dead zone for any and all cell carriers, AM/FM signal, or OTA Digital TV unless you have a crazy TV Antenna on your roof with an amp.
As someone that works for an isp and works with wifi devices daily I can verify that the information provided here is accurate. However I would just like to mention that you should probably upgrade your router firmware since pre 2018-2019 firmware of routers have a wpa2-wps vulnerability that can be exploited. If your router isn't supported anymore and the manufacturer didn't release a firmware update you probably want to get a new router. Just make sure the router that you buy is still supported by the manufacturer and that the firmware of the router is up to date.

Nah more like It HZ WAN IP
When I bought my house and renovated it I ran Cat6 cables throughout the house. I don't like relying on wireless, but it is set up for things like my phone.
good idea
@RectalDiscourse conversely, I just spent the correct amount of money on a router for my needs. Maybe an AX11000 is a little overkill for a thousand square feet (it's not, there's no such thing as Overkill when it comes to networking), but now I don't have to worry about wires 😗👌📶
We get it. You have a house.

Can I download more ram for my router?

Yes.

yes of course

Sure, you just have to take a few megahurts and ram them in the router's upgrade slot. Be sure to use MAXIMUM FORCE when you ram in those megahurts.
I would suggest using Auto channel selection unless you're having specific congestion issues. Networks around you can change and you're not always going to monitor
them around you to keep the desired channel up to date with those
changes.
" I can hear you poop" Wifi name. Thanks for the idea.
my y5 name is.. getoffmyfinglang
I used to have a router network as "Hot Wet Sweaty Nipples". I just now noticed I could disable it (did) and only using modem WiFi for non-wired.
On 2.4GHz, you can unlock channels 12, 13, and 14; you can only legally buy/sell routers in the USA that use channels 1-11. Download new firmware for your router, but set your region on the website to Asia/Japan prior to downloading. Once you flash the router with Asian firmware, channels 12-14 should be unlocked. Technically, it's only illegal if you interfere with emergency services as they alone use these channels.
Worked on my router, clean channels while 1-11 were congested by 20+ neighbors within range.
Special EDy nice!
Sprint owns these frequencies. Their network is so f up that no one Will notice
Gabriel Ferreira Its 2.4GHz though, it's got a range of several hundred feet in free air and is very much blocked by the walls of your dwelling. I doubt a passing airplane or police car will notice any interference.
Κέννυ Αντονέσκου I don't think so he stated 2.4 Hertz and as for your Canadian question I have no idea.
Not worth the risk unless you have no other choice. Could probably get you into big trouble if any incident happened and they found you were using those channels which interfered. Whether or not it was your direct fault or deliberate.
1. Hide SSID for both (2.4 & 5) home networks.
2. Bandwidth limit on guest network.
3. Whitelist MAC addresses for home networks and block other.
4. Change routers webgui credentials.
5. Make a excel sheet and use static IP for home devices.
6. Make sure WPS is off.
1. Your router's SSID will still be leaked when you connect your device connects to it.
2. Yeah.
3. You know that you can change your MAC address and you can see devices that are connected (and whitelisted)? It just won't work if you know what are you doing.
4. Yeah.
5. May be useful, may be not.
6. Yeah.
Let's be honest, who didn't name their Wi-Fi something like "FBI Surveillance Van" or something similar to have fun with neighbors and visitors?
I did not
I called mine “Pretty Fly for a WiFi”
Mine was exactly that for years, then one day they came for other reasons and hacked my router, so I changed the name to just a joke sorry

So I can make my speed 1kb per second so my friends never want to use my internet
1bit ps!
Yes
2:25 You forgot to mention that 5GHZ also has very poor wall penetration, if you put just one wall between you and the AP the signal strength can drop as low as half which of course reduces its speed even further.
I mean that's an issue here too but in North America most houses aren't concrete that why most people forgot to mention it
my place has concrete walls and I use 5GHz AC no problem..
pretty sure he said that lol
Cement does not equal cinder-block. Also, just think about the size of the bands emitted from each speed module & ur done.
I'm 3 walls away and I only get like 5% of the bandwidth
I would love to see an update to this. I really think it could be expanded a little.
Linus, thanks for all the informative videos. Can you explain the difference between DNS and NetBIOS?
No TUNNELBEAR ad ???
...AND speaking of VPNs
Video suggestion: Linus, could you do a quick video on Port Forwarding, I've seen it multiple time in my router settings but never took the time to dig into it.
It allows you to connect to devices behind your routers firewall from the outside
I love it how Linus always makes you feel like an idiot, whilst simultaneously making you feel like he's the best thing that ever happened to you.
I'd love to see linus tech tips do an off shoot channel on enterprise hardware, servers, routers etc.
My WiFi names are also tech tips. The Slow One (2.4 GHz), and The Fast One (5 GHz). If you can see The Fast One you obviously pick that one. If you can only see The Slow One, it's time to upgrade your shit!
You should note that although the 2.4 GHz frequency is not as quick as 5 GHz, it will give you greater range.
What I've seen commonly is people leaving both networks with the same name. However, devices may not switch between the two for better performance - I had an older smartphone that did this. Separate names are helpful to force using a different band when necessary.
Um 2.4Ghz has greater range and wall penetration. Both bands serve their purpose. At my apartment we use 2.4 ghz and 5ghz all the time
2.4GHz is faster for certain things while 5GHz is faster for others. However your going to run into obstacle issues at 5GHz. For example streaming video over 5GHz tends to support much higher throughput while downloading things on 2.4GHz tends to go faster due to less repeated packets (due to in-transit data corruption caused by the mentioned issue with it). In reality you will not notice any difference at all in your home unless your transferring files between two computers in-home and both have clear line of sight to your router. Sad to say but internet speeds rarely ever outpace home network speeds.
Lol that's how my house runs but I haven't named them that. I made the change when all my devices were 5GHz and I kicked everyone off 2.4GHz but I left a 802.11g 2.4GHz 54Mbps router for the printer that doesnt work with the other router for whatever reason. Family was NOT happy but when they started using 5GHz they understood the speed differences.
Man i love this
I have learnt so much from him and his channels, both of’em
Thanks! A lot of routers support being set up as an Access Point nowadays as well. Has been a good option for me in the past, and Powerline adapters are great too
My Wifi name is "Dora the Internet Explorer" xD
Wow.

This reminds me of when I was in high school, my family going through a really rough time economically and our internet would often get cut off from non payment. It was the time when everyone still mostly used WPE. I learned how to "hack" into the neighbor's wifi by booting some version of Linux whose name I can't remember from a CD in my laptop. I was my family's hero, although I'm guessing the neighbor wasn't very happy lol
For most people, internet connection is important. High speed connection is less essential. I used random people's internet back when open wifi was common, around 15-18 yrs ago. I suspect most cases of borrowed/stolen internet access is harmless and no one notices.
@@peppigue - when I was in high school in the mid-2000's, my neighbor got arrested for kiddie porn. It was determined during the case that it was someone in the neighborhood that hacked into their home wifi. Ever since then, I've taken my wireless security extremely seriously. First step is to hide the SSID, which eliminates the low hanging fruit for lazy bad guys.
@@smileychess how do we do that?? Like how do we hide SSID ?
@@Legend-dh3pj - Depends on the model of your router. A simple Google or RUclips search will help.
Everytime I change my wifi channel other wifis go on the same channel🤦♂️

@@j.m4a1 I can't really tell you if the lower the number or higher the number of the channel is better it just all depends on how many wifis are on that channel & do you still have the sticker on the side of the router or modem that has the password on it?
@@j.m4a1 try using admin as user name and password as password ;)
Linus and team, you missed the MTU setting (Max Transmit Unit). You should first check with your ISP what the MTU size is for the medium you are using, for example, cable and DSL use 1492 bytes, which represents the size of packets. Your LAN by default will use 1500 bytes per packet, meaning that each packet sent from LAN to WAN has to be split in 2 packets. The second packet is then "padded" with useless bytes that increase the load for your router and slows down your overall speed. Having LAN MTUs of 1492 will reduce router heat and operations thus focusing on transfer of information rather than packet shaping. Keep up the good work, I love your tech videos!
The DNS setting really helped me, thanks Linus.
Did u used the 8.8.8.8?
Ethernet running in the walls is the best.
Do you also run Ethernet into your phone?
ThatMetalHead72 heard of Ethernet adapters for tablets?
Yeah. And WiFi running into thick walls is worse.
Power line Ethernet?
Mine go through the basement and attic with a small hole in the corner of the rooms they go to.
I always leave my wifi open for my neighbors to use. I am pushing for a completely free wifi neighborhood. Oh, and it is a lot of fun to plug the router into a hub; and a laptop on the other port. The things I see using the packet sniffer are quite interesting sometimes :)

Hi Linus. You mentioned 50% loss if using two routers. Would it work well if one used the 2.4 as a back-channel and the five as the regular networking?
will be looking at Synergy as well, thanks Linus
God info thanks! Do you have a video or guide on how to choose a wireless router and which ones are best? Also what about alternative router software and stuff like DDWRT?
Blakehx I don't know if he does but there are lots of articles that you can read on that topic outside of RUclips.

Thank you again for your video. This one was very instructive for my.
Hello Linus!! Do you advise that people disable UPnP on home routers? It was once considered a major security flaw but I'm not sure if that's still considered to be the case. Does the benefit to leaving it enabled outweigh any potential risk? Keep up the great work!
What's so bad on upnp
There are different signal power regulations in some countries so changing the location in your router might effect your over all signal strength.
I love living just outside the city on an acreage where I can still get the best speeds w/o any wifi overlap. Literally if I search the networks then nothing shows up except ours.
This was literally so helpful
Just subscribed, great video. Do you have any videos on converting to "modem only mode" and adding separate router/switch etc?
I believe port forwarding is the setting that gave me the most pain when I had to do it first to open my NAT type.
@Techquickie We have a lot of devices at my house. i alone have a total of 12 devices. My solution was to have a router for each party. I have a router and switch in my room for all of my wired and wireless stuff, then we have a 5ghz router for all the streaming and phone access that isnt my own. and we have a comcast router for all of my mom's work stuff.
I read that having too many devices could overload a router and though it would be a good idea to spread the load over 3. So far it is working. but maintenance is kinda tricky being that only one can use the 192.168.x.x address.
Is this something you could address in a future video for those who have many devices and should get another router to ease the load?
Try the >>> TP-LINK WiFi WLAN Router AC/N/A/G/B Dual Band (2167 + 1000MBPS) Archer C3150
Def research different routing methods. I.e. static vs dynamic. If your routers support it, configure something like static routers or some dynamic routing protocol. This way, you can have 1 subnet per router, (192.168.0.x - 192.168.254.x /24), each with their own default gateway's for endpoint access to devices on other routed subnets.
This is a older post but it really depends on your router. Cheaper routers will cap out around 5 devies, anything after that and you could have issues like no data or devices disconnecting. This is because the hard ware can't handle it. A router is a computer. If you want to connect more device you would need to buy a more power full router. There are router that go for 60-500 dollars and commercial routers for 5k.
your videos are really helpful,thanks!
Thanks mate! Very useful information :)
This is hard to keep up with. Some of us are trying to learn, linus lol
Take a CompTIA A+ or Network+ course. I didn't know anything about networking until I started learning, now all of this makes complete sense. I still have yet to take Network+. When you're just getting started, like me, networking seems so complicated
Would love Port Forwarding for Dummies video (especially for Cox Panoramic)
I would like to see a video about configuring NAT, port-forwarding and most specifically - double NAT from ISP.
Thank you man
As always very helpful 👍👍
At this point I was expecting the TunnelBear ad to kick in...:D
One time i was messing with my router settings and disabled the internet of my neigbours at the same time

Soooo your neighbors are using your wifi, or you switched to their channel and had so much cross-talk that nothing loaded?
Either one of those, or you are lying.

Thanks a ton Linus. I am a simpleton and was flooded with WiFi networks around my house. The Channel setting really made a huge difference for my wifi home network. 9+13.
Nice to hop in the time machine and observe try-hard Linus from time to time haha. For every random household tech issue, there is an LTT smackdown on the topic you skim for needed nuggets on the spot. All hail the quickie.
I've been playing with these settings recently. I found that 5G, although giving far higher peak speeds would repeatedly drop to lower speeds even worse than 2G. This is the case even though the 5G band was totally uncongested and 2G was quite busy. Tested over LAN transfer, not internet speed. 2G just gave more reliable transfer rates.
Your comment is 5 years old but this is the same situation I am facing. 2.4 is more reliable than 5
What WiFi Analyzer do you recommend
I recommend WiFi analyzer. Lol
Any with decent reviews work realy.
Working at an ISP ive noticed that if you router has DFS enabled by default on the 5G band most of the time you can disable it and you will see alot less conjestion within the 5G band
Mine works at 2.4 GHz so probably not required. Where do you work btw?
I would love a longer video on the other settings we should be aware about.
What wifi analyzer app is used in this video? Is it available in the Apple App store?
There are loads of different ones on Android, probably quite a few on Apple too :-)
There aren't useful ones for Apple as their radios are protected from apps in ways necessary for getting information. At least this was the case in the past. My favorite Android app is Wi-Fi Overview 360.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate when ppl take the time to teach me about things I don't know ♥
You explain things very very well
Thanks for your time sir.
I really miss the days when my WiFi base station was the only one in the entire apartment complex. Absolutely no interference back then.

@Techquickie i subbed. Great channel. Great info. Keep up the good work!
I'd like to see Linus make a video on actually getting advertised wifi speed (gigabit for example on AC), even if on a local network. I really couldn't figure that out myself. I always get like 20-30MB/s on my AC network which is about 250-300mbps (much lower than the theoretical speed of AC)

Fantastic video. Well done. Would have liked it more detail in some parts to enhance security. Will look through your channel to see if I can find more.
thanks Linus for your help
what about MAC filtering and DHCP reservations
I literally thank Linus every day for recommending Synergy xD
Used it on and off for almost 10 years now. Really worth it.
Are there any performance issues related to picking modes that you possibly don't need? I have normally been more inclusive when picking modes because I didn't want to deal with the hassle of waiting to see if something needed a different mode enabled.
Is it better to keep the number of modes limited or is there an impact for using multiple ones that you may or may not actually need?
Im dealing with my problem in my routers latency😅, and thank to this video it was thoughtful 👍
I had an add and the main character looks just like you it was something about pulse wave app?
Linus, I CAN'T BELIEVE you forgot THE MOST IMPORTANT setting to configure... DISABLE WPS PIN... Ok guys, here it goes: WPS pin is an 8-digit number that is broadcasted when you press that "pin broadcast" button. Any devices that is listening and stores the pin can log-on to the network. Sounds like a good idea, but the problem is that most routers check the pin not as a set of 8 characters, but as 2 sets of 4, which means that after 20,000 attempts an intruder can guess it. And 20K attempts does not take as long as the originally intended 100,000,000 pin pool size.
What? A router will accept 20,000 failed attempts to access it?
depends on the router. if you don't blast it with 100 attempts per second it will work.
Such great information thank you very much! I used this information to also alter my mobile got spot too. 😎
Worked like a charm!
I got an ad starring Linus when I clicked on this video. Damn you cookies
did it star with "speaking of.."
Nom nom nom
Solid advice. I would also disable UPNP, especially on the WAN side.
Can you add more details?
UPnP is a technology that lets devices in your network ask for arbitrary ports to be opened.
It's usually enabled by default. If you disable it, be prepared for games, P2P software, and various other things to break. IMO it doesn't enhance security to disable it.
Jason Hatton LAN-side yes. But WAN side there is no need to have it enabled. Even the FBI recommends disabling UPnP. goo.gl/P3FrRc
Thanks for the tips, we just bought a brand new Philips air purifier (AC3259/60) but didn't know it could only work with 2.4G wifi... and our Virgin Media home wifi despite being dual 2.4G/5G wouldn't link to the device ... I now know more about these router settings thanks to you! Cheers!
realy educational! Thx man :D

well now we know that WPA2 isn't that safe :/
not as safe as a faraday cage, which i have thanks to a stucco exterior. i can connect to the wifi, have 5 bars on my phone. walk out the exterior steel door, still 5 bars , close the door, 1 bar. walk 10 feet,it disconnects and goes to 4g. note my fence is at least that far around my house, and though not locked, the dogs will let me know if someone is out there.
my phone reception also sucks in the house so theres that.
Meh, Ubiquiti Unifi patched the leak on their acces points the day the news was released and many others followed soon after.
But everything is vulnerable, always.
The most important detail though is that WPA2 is still by FAR the most secure of the lot. WEP in fact is so bad, it should be removed as an option from all devices at this point.
As mentioned though: Absolutely everything out there has security problems. You should never ever assume you are totally safe.
wpa2 enterpise 802.1x is where it's at
At least we have Ethernet
3:01
Hahahahahaha, this is exactly where my wifi on my phone decided to disconnect on me... I live in a built up urban area too.
Setting my 5 ghz wifi channel bandwidth to 40 mhz does help amplifying signal strength. It helps when the router is in other room beyond a door (1 extra bar for me).
Great little tutorial. As far as DNS goes - set your DNS to the address of your PiHole device, and then use unbound on your pfSense device for any addresses not yet cached in the PiHole. Works like a champ!

It's an Ethernet uprising!!!
I once named my WIFI "STOP mastrubating on floor 2". I never heard my neighbour ever since ;) sadly I can't manage to change my WIFI since I got windows 10.
WIFI name is set in your wireless router configuration, nothing to do with version of windows. This is usually accessed via a web browser. If you don't know the address to enter in order to access your router, open a command prompt, type ipconfig, and look for the ip address of your "Default Gateway". If you type this address into a browser, it will usually take you to the router config page (for most normal home networks). If it asks for a password, and you don't know what it is, you can usually google the make and model of the router to find what the default password is. Then you can change the WIFI name in the wifi SSID settings.
What's the problem of windows 10? I can change router settings on my phone?
Bruhh...
I also used MAC address filtering to only let our own devices and some trusted friends' devices connect to our home router and DHCP reservation for the home NAS and printer server PC. Those can turn out useful in some other homes with multiple machines too.
Thank you Linus for your info. 👍🏼
Use instead of Synergy Microsoft's garage software, MouseWithoutBorders - it is free and works.

Do a video on NAT types!
Good tech, you just earned my sub
So a little more security is to disable SSID broadcasting and connect through hidden Network in WiFi selection this helps keep your neighbor from piggybacking your WiFi. Also some routers allow you to disable eth ports on them this is useful for those friends that know directly connecting to the router will bypass any security measures other than Mac and IP filters.
