First impression- Why is his voice so high? Are those ear rings? Lasting impression- WOW what a great explanation and fantastic visuals! I like this channel and I like this guy!

hey linus, here are some suggestions for your next video a video about: -Chokes, diodes, capacitors, mosfets, alloys & more OR -kernels(Linux, windows NT, Monolithic (UNIX' kernel) etc), OR -firmware OR -wattage, voltage, amperage, ohms & more OR -VRM, Digi VRM & Digi+ VRM (with the addition of power phases) OR -Filesystems (fat32, ntfs, ext4 etc) OR -Omron mouse switches OR -Polling rate/refresh rate of a mouse. (would be a good addition to your mice afaps) OR -Contrast ratio/QR code/Kalih, Topra & Romer G switches (this is just a worst case scenario suggestion) i'm not giving up until you do a video of my suggestions >__>

Thank-you for making this. So few people realize the modularity that is prevalent in almost all consumer networking gear; routers have switches AND access points.

That moment you realize Linus has s unibrow

Someone is making a rookie mistake @ 1:55 Linus says 1300 megabit. Text in video says 1300MB. MB = Mega Byte Mb = Mega bit Units are case-sensitive. Just like mb would actually mean milli bit.

Hey Linus, you should make a wifi buying guide =)

hi linus and techquickie. when you use mega bit you use a little b for example:10 megabit= 10Mb and byte is big B: 10 megabyte= 10MB so please don't use it like that so we wont be confused thx

"How can we ever replace our wires?" I don't want to replace my wires.

3:37 -> I DEMAND THE NAME OF THAT PROGRAM NOW, sprectum analyzers give me hard ons D:

who else leaves the video when he says "speaking of" ?...':D:D

key points: > tri-band routers use multiple wireless radio bands > tri-band increases wifi bandwidth > depending on the wifi standard, tri-band routers are set up differently > tri-band routers typically add an extra 5GHz (or 6GHz) band to increase bandwidth > mesh wifi is when a router is combined with multiple satellites to expand wifi signals > mesh wifi reserve a band for routers and satellites known as a _backhaul_

can you do a episode on the deference between a modem and a router?

Here's the thing Linus. When you add explosions while making arguments it makes all arguments after that obsolete. I'm omw right now to buy everything you just told me not to. Cheers

Appreciate you breaking down Tri-band for us in a detailed and good example way!

Hahaha I died when he said: "With all the slow clients on one radio being scrubland by themselves"

i will never use Tri Band WiFi :3 i give all the other ppl 2.4 then just for me 5ghz :3

been following your videos on youtube for years, and you've always been very very good at explaining things. and this video ... you are excellent :)

3:18 explained in one picture. i love you linus

I paused this video in the middle of it to switch my phone to my 5GHz access point, thanks!

Thanks for this information. It certainly is interesting to see just how much marketing hype hits you when shopping for a replacement router and I certainly appreciate the education here!

LOL FINALLY a video where someone actually knows what a separate switch is. Nobody understands why I have one...

I fucking love you man. You make this stuff so easy to understand with awesome animations and quirky humour. Have you ever thought about becoming an IT professor?

I cant believe how lius has ALL my questions answered. I can look up almost anything question about my computer and bam, linus has an easy and understandable video already out there! Thanks!

Netflix and chill as fast as possible

Your modem: LOL nope.

Hey Linus all good points. But I want to add for your viewers. That polite conversation share between devices is not only for your WiFi but your neighbors WiFi as well even if they are on two different networks. The objective is to have a clean and efficient spectrum space with as few collisions as possible. I remember when I worked at uverse as a technical support specialist my trainer told us not to use the recommended channels 1, 6 and 11. He said the reason why is because everyone else is using them and even auto channels tend to frequent those channels as well. Seem only logical right? Problem is he was ignoring the side band cross talk. The reason 1, 6 and 11 is recommended is because of the size of the bandwidth on the frequencies those three channels do not overlap eliminating cross talk. That said you are more likely to have a better communication on a congested channel because you are participating in conversation rather than trying to talk over a conversation because of side band noise. So I hope that is informative for people who think they are clever two avoid congested channels. You are not and you are only hurting the radio space and creating more congestion for yourself and everyone else.

I'm starting a Network Systems Management course in a couple weeks, these short videos are great for brushing up on computer knowledge :)

I always enjoy your information, fast, to the point, and you don't beat around the bush :).

Guys, that Lynda site is actually really awesome.

My Heart beat a little faster when the Fire Came out!! Was not expecting that

Linus you have your analogies are on point

I have a suggestion for a video too. -wifi cards - and also how to use your 5GHZ channel on phones and pcs Thanks

I love ur channel man. U've helped me understand my rigs so much during the years.

So I put a password on my wifi and my neighbors won't get their grubby little hands on it right ?

hey linus,I watch your videos all the time,your the guy i turn to for tech help videos that explain what is what soo big thanks....

Hey Linus, just like you did several videos on multiple ethernet cables between two network devices, maybe you should do a video on a triple-band WiFi device connected to a PC with 3 separate WiFi PCI/PCIe cards all shared through the OS. That would be very interesting to see.

I like the acting, transitions and animations

If only we had actual gigabit wifi speeds

hey linus, can you explain the process of reading and writing to a hard drive vs a solid state drive?

Nice! Always wanted to see this explained!

QR-Codes as Fast As Possible? maybe?

@Techquickie, I think it would be worthwhile to do a Techquickie on "high gain" in the context of wireless adapters. Thank you for your content!

Correct discussion. You should have continued using the highway analogy with band steering putting the slower devives on a road with a lower speed limit. Some explanations are also only useful to some who alreasdy understands the technology.

Bandwidth as Fast as Possible? Great video :)

can you explain chromecast? i never understood what's up with that and if it works in Romania

Love that "Road-Lane" analogy.

I don't think I've ever seen a router with antennas before irl. I've always just been give a box that does stuff by my ISP.

tl;dr; always use ethernet if you can.

Quick question , what would it sound like if you had a radio and tuned into the 2.4ghz range

Hey Linus! Great video, Real quick though, is port forwarding a good idea?

Pro tip. If your wireless router allows you to enter a country code use 081 (Japan) as nearly all of the wireless bands are available (yes almost all of them)

I like the way linus presents his videos!!!

Hey Linus, could you do a video comparing Haswell, Haswell-E, and Broadwell? I was a little confused when I saw i7-5820k specing a Haswell-E (and not Broadwell), I always thought that the generation number (3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx...) applied to that gen architecture.

Do a video of different operating systems? And what versions (oem or retail) to use for custom built PC's! :-)

Hey Linus I had a question we recently "upgraded" our interent by connecting 2 broadbands to act as one. But I thought it would be better to just upgrade the modem and have 2 broadbands acting separately so there would be less traffic. Do you think that's correct?

2:30 The graphic displayed here made more sense to me than what Linus was actually saying.

I feel so much smarter after watching your videos

LOL @ those explosions at the start. great editing.

LINUS WHY AREN'T YOU RESPONDING TO MY LETTERS ABOUT YOU IMPREGNATING MY WIFE!?!?

pressing 0 really fast will give you glitched Linus

So which is better single, dual, or tri-band wifi?

Anyone else notice that there's only two band actually at play here, not three? True Tri-band will be achieved by adding 60Ghz to the already existing 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radios.

Hello Linus. You talked about 5GHz and 2.4GHz. My laptop uses 2.4GHz wifi connection but my router supports both 5GHz and 2.4GHz. Is it vise to change my laptop's wifi card to that supports a 5GHz wifi and will it benefit me anyway

On 5ghz I'm getting full range, speed test shows full 200mbps up and down with 25ms latency. But apps like Facebook, whatsapp, other 3rd party apps are running very slow. Although youtube is running good. But on 2.4ghz every app is running fine even tho on 2.4ghz speed is limited to 40mbps. What can be the reason for this?

ive literally watched what I think is 20% of your videos, and now im venturing into the ones where i literally have no idea what youre even talking about xD

The question I asked my CCNA tutor was: isn't a router in the home technically a switch as it connects to your ISPs relay center before going into the WAN? I believe this is still the same for USA and Canada as I'm in England, but my tutor froze still and tried to explain it and if you think about it. It is just a switch in your home. How else would your ISP monitor you and your usage and how would your ISP ban sites...

You should a AFAP on PCBs and another on microcontrollers.

1 SERVER & 6 CLINET ALL PC 11AC SUPPORTED CREATE WIFI NETWORK , WHICH ROUTER BEST

I'd like to see a video on: *-Chokes, diodes, capacitors, mosfets, alloys & more* AND ANOTHER ON: *-VRM, Digi VRM & Digi+ VRM (with the addition of power phases)*

I’m having trouble streaming my live gaming on KZfaq does dual band router fix the issue with buffering and leg?

Great information. I was wondering what router to buy since I just got the Netgear X6S Mesh extender Currently I have the ATT router with Fiber speeds over 300 Mbs. Still have very slow spots in my house of the levels. Thank you very much for your suggestions

Very good video.See you again. Thank you. Cheers.

I like the explosions :)

The thumbnail image of this video is hilarious. Linus has the longest neck I have ever seen.

Ok so like in an apartment when you have so much wifi traffic so close together. If Apt 1 has a Roku streaming & Apt 2 has a iPhone doing whatever. Does the router in Apt1 have to wait until the channel is clear in order for it to talk to the Roku is Apt 2 routers is talking? Hope that makes sense.

My router has 4 antennas. What does that mean? I know it already gets very hot, but there are some of them inside of the router itself.

So there will there be a decrease in power consumption if i disable either my 2.4ghz or 5ghz bandwidth?

So I have an AC wireless adapter for my gaming desktop. (The D-Link 171 model to be exact.) My ISP provided their router, that I can't change mind you. The router supports AC and G(?) or N(?), whatever the one before AC is. Long story short, that adapter is the only one that supports AC. The router my ISP gave me gives up two frequencies. The 2.4GHz and the 5GHz. My question is, it worth having only 1 device connected to the 5GHz SSID? I hope this makes sense to someone.

i actually feel good about learning, Linus!

Finally understood!... BTW Do u guys have a podcast?

802.11ax is not out yet, but when it is, please make a video about it.

You forgot to say that the speeds mentioned are duplex. 1300Mbps = max 650 Mbps download and max 650 Mbps upload

Make an episode about baking graphics card in the oven. Should we even try that or not, when and why to do it, and what are we exactly "fixing" by doing so.

Excellent video. Many improvements

Linus why did you use capital B at the end of the abbreviation of megabit in your on screen prompts shouldn't it be M then lower case b to denote megabit and not megabytes

Great video, cleared a lot of things up for me

The easy answer to this problem is li-fi. One of the best reasons for moving to Austin Texas for me is their base Gigabyte li-fi google connection.

I have a WiFi router that supportsboth 5GHz and 2.4GHz. If I turn off 2.4GHz will it help to increase 5GHz speed?

My problem arise this morning, i bought a wireless mouse for my pc and already had a wireless mouse for my laptop but since i bought the mouse for pc the mouse of my laptop isn't working and now when i have switch off the pc, the new mouse is working with the old receiver and the old mouse is not working and the new receiver is not taking response from any mouse. What should I do?

This is the reason why a portable workstation and a laptop are absolutely NOT the same thing. My old PW does have shotgun dual bandwidth mode. And my new one can literally burn out a router in an hour.

I am new to this stuff, if you got multiple frequencies and had 1 Ethernet connection and a few wireless connections would the Ethernet connection be stronger vs 1 frequency having a few wireless connections and 1 Ethernet connection?

Yeah, residential ADSL2+ speeds in Australia can barely break 10Mbps. I don't think we even have to worry about Wireless N or AC, unless it's a university or business fibre connection. (Despite I still run Wireless N)

You have Moto Droid Turbo!!! BRAVO!!!

there is a point that I just wanna hear Linus jokes, doing good mate! TRI BAND TECHNOLOGYYYYY

Okay, so I'm sort of new to this and hope someone can answer my questions. 1. If you have an old Wireless Router that you've configured to be an Access Point, would it still sort out devices like an actual AP? 2. If both my Wireless Router/AP and Range Extender use N Wifi, would I be better off getting a N Wifi Adapter than a Dual Band Wifi adapter? Or does it depend on my Modem? (I'm trying to be cost effective)

Can I use both at the same time instead of splitting between the 2? as I have that option to use both at the same time. Whats the better option? I split both and will try each manually. I live in a small apt so yeah ill see what fits me best. thx I use my laptop, iPhone and iPad mini. mostly one at a time.

can you make a fast as possible on memory timings and those numbers like C9,C10 or C11 that you sometimes see advertised for a certain ram stick?

Yeah another problem with the above 1gigabit conection. The RJ45 input for your router is limited at 1gb. so basically every router out there is 1000mbit instead of 1300, 1600 etc...

I like how you get to the point.

You giant gigabit WiFi pop up was actually gigabyte WiFi
