@JayMikes - Gaming nope I think it has to be built into your phone. I guess you could buy another phone that's supports 5ghz

Sir can u show me what is your setup for 2.4ghz pls sir thanks in advance

@Jay Michael Tanza nope u cant buy a new one not to be mean some devices arent supported

@@dayveboymuana9748 are you from india?

11:30 - you forgot to add ‘Or you!’ Your body it’s cells and dna could also stop and block the 5ghz not just walls. The reason 2.4ghz can have a longer distance is because of the lower frequency it uses that has a longer wavelength, it’s not short enough to be stoped or absorbed by most things since a single wave can’t complete a cycle in the thickness of that object (i.e. you or a wall) so the wave continues and passes right though. This is why 2.4ghz on channel 1 with the transit power in my router set to low is what I have in my house. Less health risk.

yeah it hurts

That’s a lotta damage

LMAO

Lmao

Then get a better router I recommend the Google WiFi

Tntdruid Get Netgear Orbi.

because they are made from concrete(basicly a lot of water) like most european houses are made even still unlike in america where they use wood for walls

Yeah wood construction is making a bit of a comeback in response to ecological concerns but in your typical house built with brick, concrete and steel forget it.

Same, my router has 5ghz and 2.4ghz SSID at the same time and it only shows 2.4ghz one in my room. Unlucky.

I am using 2.4Ghz right now with 5G wireless internet, via 100mbps tp link switch

Lol

same

me too.

Same, I have 5g but range sucks

Yee

I always wanted an RJ45 connector on my phone.

A lightning port? Thats for 1.21 GigaWatts, not for 5GHz wifi.

Get your dongle for your phone

Nah, I'll rather keep my dongle in my pants.

I can only imagine the havoc that everyone causes for you if you ever connect to 2.4 again. It would probably be as bad as intermittent connections or terribly slow WiFi. I can imagine some people resetting their router not fully understanding the real problem thinking that they have a junk router or a bad cable.

It is bad, 2,4 has lower frequency and will therefore much easier penetrate the walls of your microwave oven and fry your brain.

Johnny Tangstad A microwave is basically a Faraday cage. Nothing can get in, nothing can get out.

Ali365Dash nothing but food

That's actually 2.34GHz

Hugs are you telling us you know your stuff....... 😱😱😂😂

Devin Pinder I know right

all i know is how to turn on router 😕

Nice R34

Refract Plays I suppose you wrote this comment from school wifi

GTAtube ur right.

Refract Plays how old are u

Abe Obaid why do u wanna know hmm

Refract Plays because u in school and don’t have a job what else

Sounds like you need a new router, my friend. Not necessarily expensive; Just new, and with newer specifications.....

@@stevenp.sparks2953 It's been 3 years since I commented that and I do now have a new router which the 5GHz works great on. It works great as long as I'm on the same floor as the router.

Stranger Dash or USB OTG 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Geneous thinking! It is too little focus on important issues like that these days

Home button

HOME BUTTON (triggered android power user)

lol what about the power/lock button?

ThioJoe why aren't you in a shirt and tie babe

Last year was nearly 8 months ago....time flies

ThioJoe jokes on you I had 5G last year

Think I'll wait for 10GHz, when the wavelength is such that it can't escape the plastic on the antenna. But by eck will it be fast, lol

Boomgamer104 deffo yep just try and u'll see the difference then 👍

Nathan Sanchez thanks

ethernet is love, ethernet is life

Oh, I was indeed calling you stupid ;)

ThioJoe like I said, it’s joe you say things by trying to be “funny or sarcastic”. Unsubscribe.

Lol

Cameron Kord i bet he is so sad right now

It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. ??? Crazy... It’s what you say.

What if my link rate on wifi is over 2 Gbps? Would you still recommend ethernet?

@@Henfredemars I would still suggest wired yes. I am not sure if a 2Gps connection is even possible for consumer grade gear (even over the LAN.) Certainly not on 2.4ghz, probably not on 5 either. Maybe on 6Ghz once it's more established. The only 2Gbp connections I'm aware of are Ethernet only. Also consider that Ethernet is Full Duplex, while even with the advances in wireless, it's still only Half Duplex, so Ethernet is still going to give you overall better transfers and other traffic management without bottlenecks, or interference, or other issues Wifi suffer from.

@@macinman it's absolutely possible. I have a 4x4 AX base and a 3x3 card, 160 MHz channel entirely in DFS to get the whole band to myself. I'll occasionally see link rates in excess of 3 Gbps. I did not consider that it's half duplex however! That's a big difference.

@@Henfredemars Until recently I've used Wifi 5, recently I upgraded to a TP-Link AX4400, the only wifi 6 devices I have are my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and the newest Apple TV 4K model. Beyond that most of my wifi devices are smart bulbs and run on 2.4ghz only, and the other 5Gh devices are only N, or AC. So I think in that configuration Ethernet is still the best connection. Also, I'm paying for 400 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up for my internet. So on a Gigabit wired connection i usually get around 480 down and 23 up. Now with the new router, wireless is actually in the same ballpark as wired finally, but I still don't know if I'd get the speeds you're talking, unless all devices supported it on the LAN side, certainly not from the ISP.

@@macinman hey, I bought that router Thursday! I was moving from an Asus AX68U with unexpected reboots during the week. It was a fantastic deal for a 4x4 AX unit. I don't really care for TP-Link software, but it seems solid so far. The speeds I'm seeing are LAN only for the ideal case of a desktop AX client with a recent Intel card. I'm more willing to spend on my wifi because I live in a crowded complex with several dozen neighboring networks, especially to get on the DFS channels that nobody else is using. My Plex server really feels the difference. My Roku units don't have a wired option or even AX, but they benefit from DFS. New Wi-Fi standard adoption is so slow. 2.4 is a mess. I can't control what my neighbor's use. I wire what can be wired. Unfortunately that's not a whole lot of devices. Meanwhile, my smart switches are just now moving on to wireless-n on 2.4.

that means the network wasnt designed properly. Your network is only as good as your design.

I have a gaming router I disable the 5ghz and just use the 2.4ghz on channel 1 with the transmit power set to low. Great distance, great reliability, speed is perfectly fine for smartphones/laptops even when steaming. (The really data heavy / latency sensitive stuff like my gaming PC and Apple TV are wired). The distance means I can use my Wi-Fi parked up on the street outside my house. Also 2.4ghz is safer for health. Yes the waves travel further but they are not able to be stoped by things because of the long wave length, things like walls and more importantly YOU!

Considering the difference and what you started out with every bit helps. I was once on DSL that only ran at 3 Mbps so I know the pain of slow connections. I had dialup before that too and that is the only thing worse.

Then what about normal light? Normal light is on the THz, thousands of times more powerful than a GHz. Also, the antennas on your router are probably less than a watt. A light bulb has way more watts

use tinfoil and cover your head with it dummy

Holy cramps, I love your content alien, especially the ps2 one 😂😂😂😂 Been watching for years now, but I don't think I'd be considered a long time subscriber, but Anywho. Love your videos

Many routers emit both 2.5 and 5G at the same time. It's every now. We live in an irradiated world, although it's non-ionizing so maybe it's not too bad.

No takers? Works beautifully in my home, maybe I'm a genius...

An Ethernet connection is always faster than any Wifi connection but if you have other wireless devices using Wifi aside from your desktop it can make a difference.

@@TheGreatOne16439 A Fast Ethernet connection (100mbps) is not faster than 801.11ac with say a 433mbps link

@@rexsceleratorum1632 Many ethernet connections are faster than 100 mbps, up to 1000 mbps. But in general, wired connections are still faster and more reliable than most Wifi connections. Your case maybe a rare exception though.

@@TheGreatOne16439 You realize that your original statement was "An Ethernet connection is always faster than any Wifi connection"? But to answer the original commenter, cheap 2.4GHz-only AP's usually only have Fast Ethernet (100mbps) switches. If they are capable of a 150mbps+ 802.11n link, then WiFi will be faster depending on congestion. Any cheap AC1200 router will provide a faster WiFi link as well. But even 5GHz routers may cut costs by having FE switches, with the assumption that people prioritize WiFi. An example is Netgear R6120. So no, it is not a fringe exception to have faster WiFi than Ethernet. But Ethernet wins at reliability and consistency.

that is good news

Same

Kyle2000 so what?

every phone nowadays supports 5GHz

No, its the manufacturers decision to build it in. Some late model devices dont have 5.

Timon Stacy I hope that this a joke. 😂

You're special, that's how.

XENITH CG oh I'm special just like everyone else cool

I really hope that is a joke

Juan Camel what is a joke

trapped cat haha

lower frequencies penetrate things better (including your skull) so that's a bit counterproductive

@@OqwertThen why does 5G kill plants and pets faster?

@@RogerWittekind it doesn't, visible light has a much higher frequency and it doesn't kill plants and pets.

@@Oqwert riiight

You could get a 5GHz Wi-Fi USB dongle for cheap.

BPEK Supra Interactive when you see someone using the wrong form of your... :(

If your laptop has mini PCIe 1x them you can buy a new pcie wifi card

open up your laptop and look for the wifi card. buy a 5ghz mini pci-e wifi card and put it into your laptop

When you are laptop doesnt support 5ghz

My toaster does this too

My Router has both but in the Wifi settings I can switch one or the other off!

Michael Cruise yeah that's not the same

Michael Cruise - apparently my iPad was conflicting with 2.4 and 5 ghz - so my isp changed it to 2.4 ghz only - now it works perfect

you can say that yes

Because what Thio says is true as long as there are no walls in the world and everything is straight line of sight. 2.4ghz travels better and further through obstacles. If you sit in your room all day next to your wifi baking router into your body, then 5 ghz is faster. I use 2.4 alot and would 2.4 for reliabilty than 5 for speed. Need speed? PLUG IN.

i know, i'm not stupid

Maybe your device not support 5 ghz

Johnny Tangstad And yet magically you were still able to post this?!?!!

Rob Fowler yes I suppose so

Johnny Tangstad Then your internet connection lives on. It is not broken.

Rob Fowler how can you tell?

wasn't there 60 something GHz for things like wireless VR?

ya 200ghz its so fast but man that range i have to be literally be right next to it to work

wassa wassa wassa wasssuuup

this video isn't a joke. he stopped making joke videos a long time ago.

Tom Peters I agree this guy is a dumbass

5GHz is better though. Your comment is the JOKE

Let me tell you a joke. 5 hgz

Johnny Tangstad Let me tell you a joke. Your face 😂

Are you actually an Idiot

The government is trying to get everyone onto 5 Ghz for the new wifi standard to interconnect and take over control. Be careful of 5 ghz.

Well, just try it at 2.4 ang 5 ghz separately for a day just working on either, you can toggle in modem gui.

carlitos vodka Your head is hurting from too much internet too fast!!! Take is slow and try to rehydrate between sessions!

It's called placebo effect. If you are convinced that it hurts, it will hurt.

10 likes yet ;p

congratulations

You know what they say. It's not a sin, but each time you do it, it becomes a little less special! Liking yourself I mean. What did you think I was talking about?

Emmett YOU FOOL!!!!

Nirethia I would say the fact that 5ghz has less range makes it less susceptible to eavesdropping. With the ciphers and protocols being the same not allowing the guy down the street to even see your network seems like a benefit.

To help with the eavesdropping-issue some routers even let you change the transmission power of each band letting you limit the range which in some cases (as in, you just need the connection for your own bedroom) can be of great benefit :)
