The pickup pattern being vertical makes a lot of sense for a Korean manufacturer. A majority of their demographic would live in apartment buildings and the users wouldn't want a lot of interference / signal aimed from their neighbours.

@devnol 26 күн бұрын

very interesting observation!

@agarceran 26 күн бұрын

It is precisely worse with an appartment building, because you are bothering more people in a vertical setting and more so if you consider the total number of potential walls vs floors. An appartment can have more than one wall from the center to the neightbours but will only ever be one floor away from the appartment on top or bottom. Granted, corean appartments might be an only room (japanese type?) of appartment but for example, my flat is only one wall on one side from the center of the appartment but 3 walls from the one on the other side! In fact I have more wifi strenght from the neightbours below and upwards than from the ones in the same floor in my case.

Don't test a wireless access point over the internet. Just run iperf3 or similar on one of your local servers and don't have the potential bottleneck. It'd take someone like Jake 15 minutes to set up, tops. After being instructed once, anyone can use it. There's probably some GUI client available if someone genuinely struggles remembering the three word command to launch it from a shell.

@RaxXxvell 26 күн бұрын

To be fair. Not many routers manage bands well at all. Had to deactivate 2.4 on many already. Heck i even had to manually adjust channels because all routers would flock on one channel with 160 to get the max theoretical bandwith just to be ridiculously unstable. Had to manually sit at the left end of the spectrum with 20 mhz width . Lower theoretical limit, but very stable and i actually reached the limit. Algorithms there seem to be really dumb.

@bluegizmo1983 25 күн бұрын

7:54 THAT!! That right there is exactly why I NEVER allow my routers and access points to use the same SSID for all wifi bands! I always set separate SSID's for 2.4ghz, 5ghz and 6ghz. It's EXTREMELY common for devices to get stuck on 2.4ghz when all bands are on the same SSID, no matter what devices you're using.

@Pyroteq 24 күн бұрын

The SSID really doesn't make a difference though... Unless you are constantly picking and choosing between different networks manually every time you walk into a different room your device will hold onto a shitty signal regardless - in which case usually just disconnecting then reconnecting will connect at a better speed or to a different AP that has the best signal. I also wouldn't expect a device to switch networks in the middle of a speed test either. I have 5 different APs from different manufacturers all running the same SSID and my phone handles roaming around the house just fine.

Please do a test with that for quest 3 wireless pc vr!! I’ve been debating getting a 6E router, but nothing else that’s relevant takes advantage of that… and these seem quite cheap, and from what the review sounds like, that might be kinda viable. Prob not a full vid, but maybe wireless pc vr is interesting as well, though idk if pico etc are easily capable of it. (The question if now cheap inside out tracked standalone vr headsets are worth it for pc vr (with wireless streaming )

Just after 3 minutes: Linus sounds exactly like Steve Carell! I don't know if that was intentional, but it's amazing.

Is that `The Wheel` in the background? A record player then Techmoan reviewed recently?

Well, now it's time to disassemble them and put a good router in them so they will be cute and good

"My very own minion" Could lead to funny misunderstanding if said loud in public 😅

For testing the wifi capabilities of the router, i thought maybe you guys would, should host your own open speed test server locally, so that way you can see the full speed and not worry other servers

I noticed that the speed tests were using a different server each time… need a more consistent speed test such as from a local server or atleast use the same server each time.
