8 WiFi Setup Mistakes you Should AVOID !

[@johnbehling1142]

I love your videos! Highly informative, yet your personality makes it entertaining enough to stay engaged (LOVED the drum, btw!). Keep it up!

[@Behfor]

Glad you liked the videos! Thanks 🙂

[@jamsolid]

Bro you literally doubled my wifi speed. Adjusting the channels did the trick. Thanks!

[@Behfor]

Glad I could help! 👍🏻

@@Behfor hi 2 router TP-Link Archer AX73 vs 2 router ASUS RT-AX55 which is better to buy? yes I plan to buy 2 router for big house with 2 floor, in my place is same range price. I look for who can cover more area and stable. I use 100 Mbps from my isp btw

[@anweshkrishnab]

​@@LockheedMartinF-22Raptor-y8iwhat you bought?

[@Zeric1]

On channel selection, 2.4ghz should only use 1, 6, and 11 as all other channels cause overlap. 5ghz has similar issues, just not as bad as interference with neighbors is less of an issue since the signal doesn't travel as far.

Very useful videos as always, keep it up!

[@Behfor]

Glad you think so!

Hi! Don't you have a video with WI-FI and professional settings from the RT-AX86 pro? Thank you!

[@tonyoni]

Hi Behfor, could you please make a review of Amplifi Alien router?

[@bederhajali]

Hello my frien. Must say i really like yoir Channel. I was wondering if you ran into an issue like this before with asus. I have a ax3000 which works great for wifi. The router is on the second floor and all over the house i can get internet speeds close to my 1gig internet limit. Only issue is on ethernet i can get only 400-500 max. I will be trying with another pc to see if the issue is from my machine. I did do a hard reset. The router is great and ironically I had two AX3000s one in the basement and one and the second floor in AImesh and they used to give me issues especially with my tv. The one router along is doing wonderfully for wifi.

Modem shopping- a Motorola Mb 8611, netgear cm 1000, arsis 8200? Thank you!

[@davesdream]

Hi Behfor. I have to catch up with the latest WiFi technologies. Didn't know about 5, 6 or 7! 🙃

[@Behfor]

Hi there! Yeah it's changing really fast 🙂

[@davesdream]

@@Behfor Oh, no wait. I am familiar with 802.11 n, ac and ax, what I didn't know is they changed or created the names WiFi 4,5 and 6 😅

[@arash9654]

Thanks man for nice and useful videos, I have GT-AX11000 as main router and 3 mesh ax68u at home which I used a lot of your experiances on them. :) But I have few issues, I have tried to make guest network which it is fine. Then I wanted to assign manual IP addresses and use binding them to specific access point to reduce main router and DHCP work. and I had in mind to setup router only give internet access to these IP addresses. Most of apple devices I had to switch off limited IP tracking and getting security warning or keep it on and keep finding new devices in network lol, is there any solution for that? On the MacBook Pro also, there was problem with auto assign IP which I had to restart router almost daily. Oh, it become too much, I will bother you later about Jumbo Frame and link aggregation.

[@Behfor]

Thanks, glad you liked the video. However, I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly! Are you trying to use static IP addresses on your Guest WiFi and it doesn't work as expected?

[@arash9654]

@@Behfor thanks a lot for replying, No guests network for the guests and older devices i needed static ip for my main devices

[@garetha1981]

If you have an Asus RT-AX55 which has 4 antennas. Which antennas should you adjust to one direction if you only want to send more signal one way, if you are in a house and at the end of it? Would you point all 4 in the proposed direction to improve this?

[@Behfor]

Pointing the antennas to one direction doesn't send the signals to that direction. Please watch my videos regarding antenna positioning.

[@garetha1981]

@@Behfor Cheers. I found this router likes the two middle antennas pointing up and the two side antennas pointing at a 45 degree angle.

[@yalekho5040]

Before, you mentioned about too many nodes can generate too much noise and interference. How can I find out this information from my Wi-fi Network? I have a ASUS Zen Wifi system.

[@Behfor]

You should use a wifi analyzer device or app for that purpose. I have a couple of videos about that if you check my recent videos you'll find it.

[@ryback64]

My AP Asus RP-AX58 is great

[@Behfor]

Thanks for sharing

[@loganmedia1142]

Seems like FUD to tell people using an older router would result in lower speeds or unreliable connections. This will really depend on their requirements and circumstances. I can't say I saw any improvement in performance going from Wi-Fi 5 to 6. I would advise waiting once Wi-Fi 7 comes out. Let other people pay a premium to be a beta tester. Another mistake is connecting mesh nodes wirelessly.

[@GElectr0n]

Bro, are you kidding? The jump from Wi-Fi 4/5 to Wi-Fi 6 is highly significant. Double the speed. I saw an improvement in all my modern devices from 300Mbps to 574Mbps using the same wide channel. But if you use the oldest Wi-Fi 5 wave 1 clients only then you won't notice any improvement.

[@Zeric1]

@@GElectr0n In some environments, WiFi 6 can be a significant upgrade in speed, particularly if there are a lot of clients and/or the clients are some distance from the APs. If there is only one or two active clients at a time, and the clients are close to the AP, and there isn't a lot of other interference on the band, then there is only a small increase in speed between WiFi 5 and 6. This is well documented. Like so many things, the details matter.

[@GElectr0n]

@@Zeric1 Well, you are talking about "documented" stuff. While I'm talking about what I experienced in real life with my new WiFi 6 gateway. Both, clients & router are WiFi 6 certified and the speed increase versus WiFi 4/5 is highly significant.

[@Zeric1]

@@GElectr0n Yes, you are talking what **_you_** experienced. The next person may experience different results, or the may see similar results. That was the point I made, one's experience will vary based on several factors.

[@familyplans3788]

good list however 1 to add is disable wps , it is by far the easiest way for skiddies to get into your router

He said it...

i think wps actually opens it up 4 attacks

[@SOURAVxNUHA]

Are you somehow related to @ElectroBOOM

[@zoomdiepie75]

if you said wifi 8 , it will be too early. speaking of wifi 8 ,my theory is that wifi 8 internet speed is up to 100 gbps or even 200 gbps in 2030 and wifi 9 or wifi 10 could be up to 1tbps internet speed

[@djvegasiptunnuer9064]

Appreciate you, Behfor! 🥸👍

[@Behfor]

You're very welcome!

[@spaztor7723]

damnit, I'm to broke for anything so the results of your test are hidden, hopefully you make it available one day to use for broke ass people like myself. lol I'm pretty sure i know the answer though regardless.,

[@Dominus_Potatus]

My suggestion to my friends: invest on $40 router and you will save money on headache medicine due to internet connection.

[@Behfor]

Thanks for the suggestion :-)

[@m9hrdad]

If anyone buys a $40 router, you may as well purchase a lifetime supply of Advil. 😅
