    I would like to point out that video games do not worry much about download or upload speed much more about ping. If you notice ping goes from 4 ms to 1ms then to 24ms so for gamers the booster would be the best for them. Speed speed speed is all people want to sell because it is easy to show big numbers and the leave out ping which is how quickly the devices can send packets to each other. So the mesh is 24 times slower sending info back and forth. Really when it boils down to it the non boosted 10 down is 6 times faster communication than the mesh so it would be better than the mesh for gaming. It is true if you are doing massive uploads or downloads speed is best but not for gaming or anything that requires quick packet transactions. This has some good info but just not what I would consider to be the most accurate info. If you made it this far through my rambling thanks for reading.

      What do you recommend. I agree with you. I was using a net gear nighthawk router modem combo and I had 500mbs internet. My wife was always around 60-90mps and if wired my PS will get around 250 and 5ghz will give me around 300. Then I used a modem with mesh system and I see huggggge numbers close to 500 but the quality of connection I’m not impressed by it. Makes me think my old method was better despite the low speed. I’m a gamer too and I need 3000 sq feet coverage.

    • @jdubad2a
      @jdubad2a 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@AliAhmad-gr6hk what is your ping or latency usually measured in ms or millisecond? I'm not sure what the PlayStation caps download or if it does. I'm not sure what mesh network you went with but it is definitely somewhere you do not want to be cheap. Running a cable through the attic or crawl space will always be the best to direct plug. But with good latency your lower speeds should be fine as far as gaming but in this instance it sounds like you have interference somewhere in-between your router and device. Sometimes simply moving the devices can help. An example of this would be hvac vents in the wall between the devices so moving one of them or both a couple foot could drastically help. Also making sure that the channel that your router is on could help by making sure there aren't other devices on the same channel. Network optimization can be easy if you hook up and everything is perfect but when you have to troubleshoot it gets rough. I usually tell people think like you have a string from device a to device b you can't avoid walls but look at other things that could be blocking your signal. I hope this helps.

    I went with the Netgear Orbi AC3000 this year as with COVID and working from home all the time, I wanted to ensure a robust connection. It works amazingly. I have the one router and one satellite and it covers my 3 floor house (~2000 sq ft) without issue.
    Amazing how many devices we have once you add in the IoT items. I believe we are around 30 or so, from phones and tablets, laptops and iMacs, PS5, Xbox, TVs, thermostat, cameras, etc.
    And I’m always happy to see a fellow Toronto person have such a good channel.

We have about 30 devices connected. Typically, 235 download and 12 upload. Pretty satisfied.

    The main culprit in slow connection situation is simply the CPU in the router being overloaded due to too many WiFi clients connecting in the house, since there is encryption/decryption going at all times. If you manage to connect some data-hungry devices via a wired connection, this could be a huge help. There are often monitoring options in the router menu, so one needs to check the CPU usage to make sure it's suspect.

I have found it worked incredibly well and I have no dead spots in my home.

We have our living room smart TV on it, two smartphones, our home security control panel, and our thermostat on wifi. I positioned the Nighthawk carefully on a wood two-drawer filing case, and it provided excellent coverage for our smallish requirements. No buffering at all when using the Internet on our TV in the adjoining living room; no issues at all for almost six years, now (June 2022). When I bought it, others were asking if it was about to take off -- were those antennas propellers? Yes, it doesn't seem to matter how those things are pointed, so I keep all six pointed up. Great video -- looking at it two years hence.

      This is what I thought too...all your "boost" can do is remove any external delays that you have introduced by moving too far from the main router. Also remember devices (laptops, routers, cables, etc) have specs/limits so ensure you have the necessary hardware all along the chain to achieve the speed you're trying for. Boost is not gonna give you any better than being in the same room with the main router, unless you end up switching to hard-wired and then comparing numbers against wifi.

    I do have a question based on the following scenario:
    I have approx 6-7 devices connected over WiFi to my modem + 2 devices connected via LAN cable (my Smart TV and my PlayStation 4).
    Let's say I would like to create 2 different channels, 1 for Gaming and 1 for all other devices, and then on the Gaming channel, I would dedicate let's say 60% of my bandwidth. The "Other Devices" channel would be dedicated the remaining 40%. In that way, the "Other Devices" consume their own bandwidth and do not interfere with my "Gaming Channel".
    Is there any router or any setup that can do this? If yes, then what router would you mostly recommend please?

    Quite a good showcase of modern WiFi tech and an incentivization
    to upgrade one's wireless network at home.
    A couple of sidenotes of my own: for apartment dwellers it might be a good move to upgrade for a WiFi 6 capable home router/mesh system because of the new measures in the protocol to combat frequency congestion from other access points (i.e. wifi from neighbours scrambles your wifi as well as the other way around). Also, the rule "wire up everything that can and should be wired up" (i.e. limit wifi to handhelds/devices without an Ethernet port, and hook up stationary devices through Ethernet - either through cabling or PLC/mesh access points; USB-Ethernet dongles also might be useful, for example - for Nintendo Switch's dock station) still does apply, and in the case of mesh systems hooking up "satelite stations" to the "router station" will boost their performance even further.

      You get a wireless signal “boost”. The TP extender extends your weak wireless signal so you get the better speeds that you pay for. Buy a good mesh system or a good wireless router and you won’t need to “boost” or extend your WiFi signals. You’ll be just fine.

      The WiFi at home brought in each home a staggering fog of EMF from all the neighbors Which is bad for health. Every individual with basic knowledge knows that living cells are polarized and should know that in every cell, the shape and function of amino acids are driven electrically. Furthermore, the command for proteins to reveal the genes within the ADN to the copying machine (mARN) - to create millions of cells daily is driven electrically (not chemically). Therefore, any EMF around affects these fine processes and then people are innocently wondering "Where did I get this cancer from?". Because the proteins that cover the cancerous genes - present in each and every DNA structure of each and every individual - are driven to expose the cancerous genes, which are then read by the mARN reader, which finally builds oncogenic cells.
      So Homo Sapiens, for the commodity to not pull an Ethernet cable at home, have built a toxic EMF medium in which his health is daily endangered. but because the effects are seen later, in years, nobody gives a buck on this issue.
      This is not a conspiracy theory, it is simple bio-logics.
      More and more powerful Wi-Fi modems are sold, to cover more and more areas, and people pay attention only to the speed (bandwidth in fact).
      I worked in a radio station filled with radio equipment and what was written there in the Security procedures was thrilling, despite the fact they were less accurate and complete - because of the telecommunication industry interests.
      Use an Ethernet cable, and a switch for more computers. It is faster, reliable, and most importantly, does not damage health.

    Thanks Mat good info however, I noticed that when you turned on your Mesh the speed did go up but your 'ping' went up to 24ms from 1ms. Then the test started to upload and it was just above 5mbps, to be fair, it just at the beginning of that shot and then it went to another shot. The ping is manageable but is that really the upload speed with your setup?
