I agree. You should be getting more views. Your content has been very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you!
I appreciate that!
I think you do a great job on a complex subject. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Thank you for always sharing your knowledge. Your videos have helped me over the years.
Glad to help
Thanks for sharing your knowledge in a very structured and well prepared manner. Very entertaining too. I privately studied networking in 2003 and your videos on mesh wifi and wifi extenders have helped update my understanding. Well done.
Well, the algorithm deities must have been working today, as this popped into my YT home page. Good stuff. I didn't know about the beaming info, so that was good to learn about. My 1-story house does ok with the wi-fi, as it has the 2 mesh routers from Starlink (one in the garage and one in the living room). But I bought their Ethernet adapter so I could run wires to my switch. Now just my smartphone has to get a decent signal and it does; oh, so too the iPad.
I am now a subscriber. One very important thing I liked is you did not add any music to your dialogue track. Any music that is playing while the host (or others in the video) are talking just gets in the way and makes it tough to pay attention to the content.
Thanks for subscribing! Glad the algorithm brought you here. Sounds like your setup is solid, and I'm glad you liked the focus on the content without background music. Appreciate the feedback!
Man, i can only say you do great videos, very helpful (at least to me) and very easy to understand to no tech people (like me), please do not give up!!! thanks for your work
Thank you so much for the kind words, glad you liked the videos 👍🏻
Very nice video! I'm glad it appeared in my feed. As a tech guy I chose to wire the house room to room with CAT6 Ethernet and install a mesh system with 4 APs on 2.4 and 5 GHz to have very good coverage from garage to garden and from cellar to top floor of my house. Backhaul between mesh APs is tberefore wired via CAT6. My APs manage the beamforming themselves and don't allow encourage user intervention. My WAN internet connection has just been augmented to 2.5 Gbit/s apparently (i haven't measured it). Subjectively speed has never been an issue - remote server latency and speed is more the problem when they don't deliver the throughput my installation can handle. All the best, Rob in Switzerland.
Thanks, Rob! Sounds like you've got an impressive setup with the CAT6 wiring and mesh system. Appreciate you sharing-best of luck with your network in Switzerland!
Thanx man. Great video as usual.
You're very welcome!
Subscribed. Clear, concise, easy to listen to and follow through. Keep it up!
Thanks and welcome
Me too , ❤🇦🇺 ❤
I learned and got entertained. Your videos are very educational and entertaining. I am sure I'm not the only one that appreciates your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Glad you enjoy the videos! Thanks so much!
Fantastic video! Always presented well and easy to understand! Awesoe!! Thank you!
Thank you very much! Happy you like the videos 👍🏻
Why this channel does not have more viewership is beyond me.
Unfortunately, that's just how it is. That's why I really need your help to share these videos with others who might find them useful. Your support makes a big difference, and I appreciate every bit of it!
@@Behfor I have a ASUS MESH network 1 router 3 nodes. Your tips are very useful.
I'm glad to hear the tips are helping you get the most out of your ASUS Mesh network! Thanks for being a part of the channel!
Helpful video. Which wifi analyzer do you suggest?
Great video, loved the presentation. So good and more believable when it’s presented by a human not an AI bot. I was engaged throughout.
Glad to hear that you liked it, thanks 🙏🏻
Really good stuff on your channel, thank you for your time, effort, and enthusiasm. Learning how to use something is more important than the latest shiny thing being hyped on other channels. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you like the channel, thanks 👍🏻
Just found your channel. Love your content. Subbed.
Glad you liked the content, thanks 👍🏻
I'm a far simpler person, I keep the doors in my home open for a better wifi experience 🥴
Your work is great 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Great video, I am having issues with my asus mesh system, I am going to try all your tips and tricks
Thanks and Good luck!
Very good explanation. Very clear pronunciation. I'm from Brazil.
Thank you so much, glad you liked it 👍🏻
Good info, but i live in a mobile home park. Problem is most folks get there equipment set up by the ISP provider and they think everything is good for them (and or they don't care about their neighbors). My issue is that the ISP company installs 4 or more Eeros in the homes with the broadest bandwidth set to MAX on all the WiFi bands, plus the fact the neighbors channels are always changing, so its impossible to set my equipment to a clean channel. It was so bad i couldn't connect to my own WiFi or i was constantly getting disconnected. My only solution was to hard wire everything i could and centralize my Fifi to one room.
I’m just going to gown the rabbit hole of networking, trying to optimize my new home network. Your content is very helpful. One question tho on mesh networks…can I use wifi bulbs on a mesh network let’s say connected to ap1 and control them from my phone that’s connected to ap2? Thanks a lot✌️
Yes, you can absolutely control your Wi-Fi bulbs from AP2 while they're connected to AP1 on a mesh network. The best practice, though, is to isolate your smart home devices on a separate network or VLAN for added security. This helps protect your main devices while keeping everything running smoothly. Thanks for watching!
Great info! thank you!
You're very welcome!
Earned one sub.. keep it up ❤
Really appreciate that 🙏🏻❤️
Non-tech people install the routers hidden in pantries etc. because they think they are ugly. I would put it on my kitchen island if I had the ports much to the disdain of my wife.
Yeah, routers often get hidden away for aesthetics, but placing them out in the open, like on a kitchen island, can make a huge difference in performance-if you can convince your wife! 😀
Keeping it in cabinets does mean the equipment don't get dusty too... But the usual lack of airflow tho
Excellent info 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
it is really good and useful video! Many thanks!
You're very welcome, glad you liked it.
Great info, Thank You
Glad you liked it, thanks!
One more setting to have more stable wifi connection is to select the "GUARD INTERVAL" long.
Good video thanks
Glad you liked it, thanks.
Thank you for such information
You're very welcome!
Hi Behfor. Thanks for your videos they are awesome. You could improve your content by talking a bit about you and things you enjoy to engage with your audience. Appreciate your efforts. Keep it up.
Appreciate the feedback, thanks 👍🏻
Very Good info
Thank you very much, glad you liked it.
great stuff!
I have three asus et12 pro mesh setup and while good I struggle with my outside cameras wifi, how do you see what their signal is like in the vide0? also the 5ghz what number did you use like the channel 6 u 2.4?
thanks
I like ur video well explained
Thank you so much, glad you liked it.
I loved your videos, please recommend a not too expensive wired(priority)/wireless(not priority) gaming router that does not lag even if there are multiple people playing videos or downloading. PLEASE :)
Hey great video! So in a single story house. I’m a little confused, do you want to antennas pointed straight up? Or just slightly at a 45 degree angle? So that they are not going to the roof?
Thanks for watching! I never mentioned a 45-degree angle in this video, not sure how that was implied. Anyway, the short answer is that the antennas should be pointing straight up in a single-story house for the best coverage. For more detail watch this: th-cam.com/video/-8ze1by02U0/w-d-xo.html
What is that software you use for the router?
Asuswrt-merlin
What app do you use to check wifi coverage?
These apps: th-cam.com/video/vQYPKh32PDE/w-d-xo.html
Could you tell me what you think about the Cudy WR3000 Dual Band -WiFi 6 router?
Muchas gracias
You're very welcome
How can I determine what channels my neighbours are?
By watching this video: th-cam.com/video/vQYPKh32PDE/w-d-xo.html
i have a question, how about if you put the router on the ceiling, with antenas looking down 👇🏻, and do the same tests 🎉
Wouldn’t pierce the floor properly
That depends on how high the ceiling is. If it's too high, it’s not a very good idea because the bulk of the signal will stay up there. It might be fine for Spider-Man, but for the rest of us, it’s not a good idea. Thanks.
I'm currently tweaking my wifi to reach its maximum range as possible. my ISP plan has a maximum bandwidth of 50 Mbps only.
I set up the 2.4 GHz at 802.11n in a 20 MHz configuration.
likewise, I did the same in 5 GHz. It was set up in 802.11n with the same 20 MHz channel width.
both use auto-configuration for channel selection.
do you think it is practical to use this setup for maximizing both frequency ranges or this will only cause issues/interference? no other wifi signal/router close to the area.
If there are truly no nearby Wi-Fi signals, then you don’t need to use the 20 MHz channel width! That’s mainly useful in crowded environments. In your case, changing the channel width won’t impact your range, but it will affect your Wi-Fi speed-the lower the width, the lower the bandwidth. Instead, you should focus on ensuring your router placement is optimal, your antenna positioning is correct, the transmit power is set to maximum, and so on.
@@Behfor thanks for that. I'll update my settings now.
9:37 i noticed that the option 'OFDMA/802.11ax MU-MIMO' was disabled. Any specific reason to disable that?
depends on setup bc multi in etc can cause router to process more etc but split up connections etc like qos etc. i know cheap ones can overheat etc.
@@boines have only 1 wifi6 device all other devices are wifi 5 or lower. Approx 15 devices connected. Should disable this option to improve router performance? Btw have asus ax53u.
It is only disabled for the 2.4 GHz band. If you have a mix of older and newer devices or are experiencing stability issues on the 2.4 GHz band, you might want to keep that disabled. On the other hand, the 5 GHz band, which is typically used by more modern and higher-performance devices, can benefit more from that. It could be a subject another video. Thanks.
In the year 2025 our massive Sun will be at its solar maximum, which means there may be a geomagnetic storm which could result in a total radio blackout depending on the magnitude and direction of the solar storm. If it hits the earth we will have no communication for areas that face the sun.
Any ideas how to get basic food, water, aid quickly to the communities affected in such a situation?
For communication during a geomagnetic storm, Land Mobile Radio (LMR) might be a more reliable option. Unlike high-frequency radios that rely on the ionosphere, LMR systems communicate directly between devices or through ground-based repeaters. Since LMR doesn't depend on ionospheric reflection, it’s less vulnerable to disruption from solar storms.
@@Behfor Thank you Behfor. If a large geographical area facing the sun has been affected due to geomagnetic storm, and thousands if not billions of people try to communicate on LMR at the same time, the bandwidth will suffer and all channels will be useless, just like 2.4GHz on wifi as explained in the video.
😊
This is Asus router. I don't have that in ZTE.
I'm not sure if you're talking about changing the channel width or beamforming. Changing the channel width is very standard and should be available. I don't have a ZTE router, so I can't tell you exactly where it is, but I'm sure you can find it by Googling. If there's no beamforming option at all, it could be enabled by default. Again, checking the router user guide or Googling can help.
recycle tips
You mean how to reuse old wifi routers?
"Wifi router". This guy is legit 🤡
Thanks 👍🏻
12mins of basically nothing, where can I find all these settings to change them?
The video is focused on teaching the concept, since each router has different settings. It would be impossible to cover every brand in one video, but there is this thing called "Google" you can easily find the specific settings for your router by searching online.
