    Changing my 5g band from auto to 80MHz brought my speed up about 150mbps. Good stuff, thanks! May have to consider a mew router that has a lot more options to configure, no telling if 120Mhz could make it faster (i get half the speed I should omnthe very best of days, and that's just now after changing to 80Mhz).
    Just changed provider and have the basic router that they give you. Thinking about an Asus router.

      No your WiFi shouldn't be affected. It should only affect your internet browsing experience as a whole on the device you're using

    • @futurecactus
      @futurecactus ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It definitely won't disconnect your devices but be aware that your devices don't have to use the DNS you set in your router DHCP settings either. It's worth customising but, for example, Google devices like Chromecast will still use Google DNS.

    Doing a speed test and changing the servers does affect download and upload speeds. Also anyone using the isp modern router and is not happy change it to modem mode and buy a better wifi router and not mesh only recommended if you do not have cat cable routed in the house.

    Do you have any recomendations to set up two erro routers foe the best mesh coverage. Thanks. Ken

    • @futurecactus
      @futurecactus ปีที่แล้ว

      Ideally, the 2 mesh nodes should be at opposite ends of the house but still able to communicate effectively.
      If you have ethernet cable run already or if you can run some, put them further away from each other and connect them with a cable, this gives them a guaranteed high speed connection and good coverage of the house, so long as they're not too far apart and the middle is in a dead zone. Also consider any high WiFi traffic rooms and consider placing one closer to that room.
      If you're using wireless backhaul, ie not connecting them via a cable, then put the first one where it needs to be, usually near the ISPs connection inside the house, and then run a speed test with a device plugged into it with a cable, this will give you your max attainable speed.
      Next, walk around and plug the second mesh node into several places around the house and run a speed test with a device plugged into the second node, this will test the wireless link between the primary and secondary nodes.
      Choose a spot with a strong link and then walk around with your phone doing further speed tests everywhere you want WiFi and check that you're getting acceptable speeds relative to your max attainable speed.

  • @robertmarkgoron6869
    @robertmarkgoron6869 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Why does changing the router password make your wifi faster? You also mention for other channels click baiting about DNS setting and that is your first advice for faster wifi. So what is it now? I'm really curious about this. Could you please explain it to me? Thanks

    • @arnomijs3060
      @arnomijs3060 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Changing the router password does not make your wifi faster. It is however strongly advised for security, so it is great that he put it as a tip in this video because most people leave it default.
      The DNS setting being clickbait on other channels is sometimes true. Because some channels say that it will increase the raw speed of your connection. That is false. But by using a better DNS like CloudFlare, it can give you better latency for the DNS requests. And because of the better latency, it will feel like you are browsing faster. So the perceived speed is higher.
      In conclusion: changing your DNS, will make your browsing experience better if the DNS your provider offers isn't that great.

      @futurecactus ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I really think you're better off not separating them unless you have to.
      When they're together, your router steers your devices to the most advantageous band, once separated it can't do that anymore.
      The only problems I've heard of by combining the bands is done older devices having trouble connecting but they're fine once connected and there's ways of getting them connected.

    • @arnomijs3060
      @arnomijs3060 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@futurecactus In my experience the band steering rarely works well because it is mostly up to the client itself to choose which band it will connect to. I've also noticed that they will remain sticky to the 2.4GHz band and refuse to go back to the 5GHz sometimes.
      In reality, the 5Ghz band will be the better option in 99% of the cases. So if range isn't an issue, you should always connect to the 5GHz signal. That's why seperated is better imo

    Actually, changing your dns can improve the speeds although not to any major degree unless the providers dns is garbage. If your internet providers dns is garbage then it can drastically improve speeds and make things more stable.

    • @arnomijs3060
      @arnomijs3060 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It won't increase your internet speed. But it can improve the latency for DNS requests, which in return makes your browsing experience feel smoother. But the raw speed of your connection stays the same

      James I have Vodafone home fibre in the UK also. I opted for the Pro package to get the Wifi mesh etc. I binnned the lot, bought a Mikrotik hap ac2, and used my Unifi WiFi (2x Ac Pro and 1x U6-Lite). Generally on ethernet I get top line speed available via VF FIbre, on Wifi I get ~600mbps on the U6-Lite, and slightly less on the AC Pro APs. I love my setup ;-)
