      What about band confusion ? ie having both types, I know they are supposed to have channel hopping capability, is that an issue adding a mesh and a standard in the same room ? Thanks for the vid info...

      @TechOdyssey question, I live in a 2br apartment 1 floor, about 900-1000sq ft of size of the apartment. I stream for my TV and I have been doing some speed test for my internet. I found that I have better download speeds on WiFi than hardwired using my Android TV box. I only have about 6 devices connected to my wifi and I'm also using my ISP router which is not the greatest. My router is located in my living room and my streaming devices are in my bedroom which is roughly about 10-15ft away from the router. Would you recommend the TP link router for the best solution?

    We just had fiber put in and they came and installed the modem today. We bought the TP-Link - Archer AXE7800 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Router and set it up. Was super easy and OMG the speeds are so much faster than our old coaxial internet and modem/router setup. We're getting about 250 Mbps down and 250 Mbps up! Thanks for the tip on pointing the antennas. I adjusted them to point towards the areas of the house we typically use WiFi. I checked the signal strength on all three floors- it's 100% on the middle floor with the router and about 90% on the second floor and about 80% in the basement rooms on the 5 GHz channel. On the 2.4 GHZ it's 100% throughout the entire house. I haven't tested the 6G yet.

    There is one huge upside to using a Mesh WiFi setup over the normal style of WiFi Router we all know about. Let's say you own a TP-Link Deco Mesh system that comes with 3 devices. Now let's say the main Deco device that had the broadband modem connected to ended up dying therefore you lost internet access. You can simple move one of the other Deco devices to where the broadband modem is located and get it back up running. If have a normal style of WiFi Router if that thing quits working for some reason you can SOL until you get it replaced.

    I've got a Orbi mesh setup.. the coverage is significant better than your standard wifi/extender setup. But it's not as spectacular as some make it out to be.

    Why do people still use gaming as an excuse for recommending wifi setups? Seriously if you need low latency just buy a long ethernet cable and some cable clips / raceway. WiFi is for watching tv, phone stuff or browsing stuff you don't care if it takes a fifth of a second shorter, not gaming at the level that latency that you need the peformance low latency gives you.

      @Hupihovi 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Doesn't work that way. The one with the router is called OneMesh that only works with other routers and Wifi Extenders, so in that case you probably wouldn't need as "powerful" router as Archer AXE75, because it would be adviced to turn that Wifi off entirely if you want a Mesh that is supposed to work like a Mesh does. You can however plug in Deco devices to this router and play with the OneMesh and then get multiple Deco Mesh devices to each dead spot of your house, e.g. floor 1, 2, 3 and garage and they work.
      This is a shame in my opinion, since I really thought that Archer AXE75 would be in the same Mesh with Deco devices, but nope. This was a poor choice from TP-Link in my opinion.

    I have been wondering about " connectivity " for sometime now. ( Back before 5G was implemented and as the other specs began to bump up n up.) I did some haphazard searching. I've also prodded some you tube influencers. To date , this is the best video breaking down some of my concerns ( or deficiencies in understanding). So cross off wifi 6e off the list...( oneplus 11 = wifi 7 !!) I bet a short could cover the Bluetooth 5.0 to 5.3 differences with regard to future proofing . And lastly, the need for proper cables to charge at peak speed . Also , do the magnetic plugs accumulate miniscule metals or do they block the port and enhance blocking the buildup of " crap" in the port. Or do they alter charging/ data transfer speeds.
    Hopefully, you see the value in the above points, you infuse knowledge to your viewers , and add to your channel's brand by covering all the angles or considerations to tech hardware. There are So many salespersons and biased opinions just making videos without truly caring about the viewers experience on their tech journey. Thanks

    Is there any vids of people fixing connection issues why Sky as the ISP provider, Who uses Open Reach, That is fixing the issue of no internet coming into the Router,.
