Any DSL router recommendations for 50mbps? I'm currently using the one the telephone company provided

[@annaesther7158]

We're in the area of Riverside California, and we have spectrum, and we have an eero pro 6 mesh router and we still not getting the speed that we're paying for. We have contacted Spectrum, and the technicians have come once the technicians leave. Our speed goes back to slow speed 😢 not sure why I think they do something so we don't have the speed we're paying for. We don't know what to do. Can you please help us with what to do with this matter? we'll appreciate it.

Very good video. I seen a lot of others on KZbin for this subject and you’ve condensed this just right for me.

[@sanazaydan1397]

GOOD!!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@Indyjeeplover]

I live in a very rural area. Our one and only option is Century Link. No other available. Our “speed” is 12 mb, just recently upgraded from .7. (Dial up). We have a good sized two story with basement. When the tech installed the router, he put it on the second story in a middle bedroom. I now have a basement office that is getting less than 6 mb and it cuts out frequently We have Ethernet wired through quite a bit of the home, including very close to the basement office. From your video, I think I’m going to upgrade to mesh as there are a number of walls and floors I’ll need to go through wherever I put the router. Should I incur the expense of moving the router to the main floor from the second story, or just get the mesh and two auxiliary units? I guess the question is, does it matter if the router is in the middle and auxiliary ones at the extreme ends, or will it be as effective if they are router to auxiliary to auxiliary in series? Your video is extremely well done with no stupid music blaring in the background and very concise. Well explained without being redundant Thanks

[@VegasMatt25]

I bought the Orbi wifi 6 at cost co for like $80 off about month and half ago . Makes a world of difference. Fast speeds through out my 2,400 Sq feet and runs my outdoor wireless security and ring doorbell smoothly. Worth the money!

Yeah. I didn't mention why you want that robust coverage but you nailed it.

[@jb.8992]

I’m the anti-technology geek but I purchased an Eero Pro 6 tri-band mesh Wi-Fi 6 system and it was the best investment I could’ve made for my home network. All my home network issues that I had with my Nest outdoor security cameras and internet service have been resolved.

That is something I sort of failed to mention in this video, is that all wifi problems with all devices typically disappear with the addition of speed and coverage.

We recently switched from: * 200Mbps Spectrum with our trusty-but-old AirPort Extreme 802.11ac (I gather nowadays called “WiFi 5”), to * “1Gbps” Google Fiber and the two free “Nest” mesh routers that came with it. I’m finding the WiFi speed to be all over the map: Typically 500-650Mbps in line-of sight of the routers, but all-too-often dropping *_way down_* to below 100Mbps, occasionally as low as 20Mbps for short times. I’ve only done one wired hookup so far, and the speed was *_a lot_* more consistent. Fair chance I’ll switch back to our old AirPort Extremes!

[@SpencersStuffTV]

Linksys velop. I use them and they're excellent!

[@InspireAndSimplify]

The problem with most installers (myself included) is they do have the knowledge about products, but their company has strict orders for them not to recommend products. Main reason being is if there is an issue that arises, then that installer, the company included, gets blamed. Most ISPs have a bad rep already, so to add that would make things even worse. I try to recommend mesh WiFi every time, and I make sure that I say it’s my personal recommendation, not the company’s.

[@BTheInstaller]

Yeah no hate on techs. I always chat them up. I know there is a lot on line with standardizing service.

Just dumped ATT 2 weeks ago. Fiber is available to my neighbors 2 blocks away but not my house. At 28 mbps it lagged and buffered a lot. Even so ATT charges 59 bucks a month. Just went to cable and it is very fast and 29 bucks a month.

My iPhone 12 Pro is wifi-6 and I'm pulling speeds of 600mbps on a 1gbps connection in every room in the house. It's well worth the investment as far as I'm concerned.

Great Video B! I used your tips setting up my my tri-band velop mesh. For areas without an Eth port for hardwiring, is it better to use a wireless node or keep it simple w/ existing wired nodes if you still have a decent WiFi connection further away from the wired nodes?

Really enjoyed the video! I know this will be a dumb question, but I’m learning. You mentioned ditching the router from the ISP. When I talked with an AT&T tech, they recommended mesh Wifi, but that I wouldn’t be able to get rid of their main router. Is this legit or are they just trying to get me to keep paying for their router? Using fiber, but have poor coverage.

You can keep their modem. You just don't need to use the att wifi network as the mesh router will broadcast a much bigger one.

It just needs internet signal. You also need some modem as the mesh is not a modem. You should call someone to help if confused.

Hi great vid! I recently moved into a 1700 sq ft apt and transferred my AT&T service here. When transferring service the tech installed a newer BGW320 router/modem combo in my upstairs closet. I asked him if it would be better place somewhere in the open for faster a connection? He said the newer modem doesn't need to be out in the open. Do you know if there's any truth to that? Also, he didn't use the 5ghz plug for the fiber jack. He said that it wouldn't speed anything up. Is he being honest or maybe doesn't know. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

[@BTheInstaller]

Well if you aren't getting high speeds in all corners of your apt, then I would move to better it with the tips here. There is always loss of "some" signal strength if buried in a closet. You will always get more signal quality if two or more units are used as one can't cover the same area. So all of these tips still stand true.

You have to remove the spectrum router as it is not the network you want to be on and it can cause signal issues if you have that network on your device and walk away from that in area where the mesh is, it will constantly change back and forth and cause delays.

We have contacted Spectrum, and the technicians have come once the technicians leave. Our speed goes back to slow speed 😢 not sure why I think they do something so we don't have the speed we're paying for. We don't know what to do. Can you please help us with what to do with this matter? we'll appreciate it.

Question: currently using an external EZ Bridge Light point to Point Extender to get wifi signal from my detached home office to my home. My netgear router in my home picks up the signal but signal is weak in one area of the house. Will the Netgear Orbiesh network work with existing Netgear router or does the system come with a router that replaces the one I am currently using?

I have Google Fiber with mesh. It is supposed to switch between 2.4 and 5.0. It does not get 2.4 at all and I can't use any of my smart devices. Very frustrated.

[@jimbodice2672]

I have had nothing but issues with eero. We have to reset it once to twice a day. It always go out, our internet is connected on the modem! But the mesh wifi just goes out. All the damn time. The customer service is really bad.

[@GunnyPhillips]

I've tried several Mesh systems and my conclusion is they're decent for small to medium spaces but don't do so well in 5000 sq ft or greater multi-level homes, despite their claims. In my opinion it's better to spend the money for a few strategically-placed wired data jacks and then connect simple cheap nodes in AP mode with wired connections back to the router.

[@BTheInstaller]

Its not possible for everyone to build that out. I've had success with Orbi for large homes.. 4 unit can handle 8k Sq ft house pretty well. I have the newer ax4200 3 node and it is ridic..

[@krehbein]

John: Not sure about that, I have access to my neighbors Orbi mesh network (they're friends). Single family neighborhood, they're house is about 80' away.

[@GunnyPhillips]

@@krehbein Yea, I was just sharing my experience. As the saying goes, your mileage may vary.

[@krehbein]

@@GunnyPhillips very true. When you do the nodes you mentioned, do you have to manually connect to them, or is there a way to connect automatically based on signal?

[@mik19mazz]

Can you use Orbi using Motorola MT8733 combo Modem? Thanks for any advise.

Don’t your provider have to be compatible with these cause we have centurylink dsl high speed internet so would these work with centurylink cause our internet drops a lot and gets slow and it drives me nuts so I’d like to try and fix the issue

[@JAnthony23i]

The ASUS AIMesh is excellent this is what I use in my two story home with two ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 handles 30 devices connected with ease!another benefit they are both tri-band routers.

Yeah tough to rely on cell phone wifi coverage. No other options ?

[@iastaaf]

I’m upgrading my local network and I’m confused. Have had AirPort Extreme for many years without problems but not any longer. More units connecting wireless is on thing. New router from the cable provider it’s now SageMVOM F@st 5370e from Telia. (I live in sweden) I’ve bought TP Link Deco AX 1890 Wi-Fi 6 system 2 pieces. My apartment ain’t big. What’s best Telia as a router and TP Link as access points? Or the other way around?
