Water Foxo I love how people just don’t reply

[@HighkeYFoxY]

@@Andrew1Brooks same . _.

[@timothygotzman8605]

Water Foxo are you going till respond to this comment is the real question 🤨🤨

[@stormprodigy9655]

Do you have to hook it up to your original router? And also is it separate from the original router (as in wifi}

[@jacoboforero3219]

Lmao when he gives the specs of the water bottle😂

[@cwg6324]

millimeter could not stop laughing 😆 🤣

[@isiandzmlg5212]

[@masterthetraper2376]

That’s important too 😹

[@miles4941]

anyone know where the led clock on the desktop is from?

[@kelvinhicks4133]

That boy reaching for a video

[@NoMed1A]

Does your internet provider provide the internet if you change their router for the netgear one or does netgear provide it?

[@TheDC-ks3tw]

Only problem from the r1 is a missing feature which makes a huge difference is its missing ping assist

[@IC3YY]

So does it boost your existing WiFi?

[@TechBlock]

Yeah it really did!! :D It's crazy how good the WiFi range is

[@IC3YY]

Thx will buy

[@longballslongballs6845]

Nope

[@noahkaplan6327]

does it require direct ethernet connection or is it wireless

[@angelmedina853]

No not rally I just makes the wifi spread range bigger but if you want better wifi buy Mbps

[@beejaybeej]

Can I use this if I have At&t as a service provider?

[@MundoJogador]

Why would you ever use a CAT7 cable for such a small distance and speed?

[@pixel_vengeur391]

You're getting sponsors and free samples! I must say, I'm kinda proud of you :') Seeing how fast your channel grew, you're only going to get more!

[@TechBlock]

I know right!! It's crazy but I'm very thankful for the free stuff I got!

[@senciddimisin]

I'm confused when did you set up your internet connection? I mean shouldnt you enter your current ISP settings?

[@yobadboy100]

hi, what modem would you recommend using with this router?

[@NotAnInformant]

I got mine used off Amazon, it didn’t come with a manual, or a cd. Is the CD needed for set up?

[@roberrt110]

here is whay I quit watching after 5 minutes up to now I've heard about your tshirts, your entire life story and a lot of OHMAIGAWD. I also saw the BOX and the COMPANY LOGO. 5 minutes and nothing interesting has been shown.

[@playboicardexpired3491]

Robert Kopczyński 😂

[@albert328]

amazed you have made it 5, a solid 1 minute and 9 seconds for me after I saw the upside down box, while also hoping for an extra t shirt from the brand also his t-shirts pic from his IG, the actual need to flex his muscles while taking those selfies? I'm done with this OH MY LORD

[@J2478C]

Why u guys complaining on the comments I thought U guys left so why u still on the vid commenting smack u guys are probably trash yourselves

[@keithgreene3071]

Can u just connect it to your old WiFi or do u need to pay netgear

[@hyprwhrl978]

that's what i want to know

[@bobhog3969]

HyperionWhirlwind not how routers work. But this would replace old router but not modem Also will not work with a modem/router combo

[@bobhog3969]

Also don’t need to pay netgear. Look up a video on KZbin how routers work and modems work

[@ToniGain]

I wanna see how fast it downloads a game on steam or fortnite :O

[@TechBlock]

Very fast :D

[@ToniGain]

TechBlock Oki :P how did you even sponsored Razer etc. xDD I wish I could do that too..

[@TechBlock]

I’m not sponsored by Razer :D

[@guuhygghi1209]

so can I use a NETGEAR Cable Modem CM1000 and a XR 500 net gear router?

[@maddoxggs]

What do u think the ping is with no Ethernet

[@truenanashminitdapressure1708]

On mine with 5G 50 feet away my latency is 6ms but I pay for 1ms with at&t. Soo it's ok

[@seductivesister8647]

I bet you'll make it to a 1 mill by the end of the year

[@TechBlock]

I'll lose my mind if that happens :D

[@eliastapia7272]

Do you have to do like a monthly wifi payment?

[@BadBoy-wh7bl]

Is it only on pc or is there a way I can set it up on my Xbox one and for my ps4

[@CraftyDex]

I don’t live near any internet towers my ping is very high and have lag spikes all the time would that specific router fix my problems ?

[@bbyfacebandit]

If you have an adsl connection which is slower than nbn and it make ur stuff faster my nbn connection will be amazing

[@josef6415]

What monitors do you use for your setup?

[@mango8955]

I live in a 7 people household, so I can’t use Ethernet because everybody will get mad at me for hogging the internet. Will the router help me get lower ping and not use too much of the internet?

[@miles4941]

where is the led clock from??

[@TheFilmMixer101]

Also with your data plan on your service provider is mostly 80mbps and here ilin America I have 840mbps and I'd say way to much but downloads are quick

[@TechBlock]

My 4G speeds are around 23Mbps Download and 21Mbps Upload :D

[@JoseMelo-su6ow]

What wifi you got ?

[@kalleankaa7536]

so you bought a very high end router just to situate it behind your bed? and youre only getting 74 down? im using an old TP-link WD1043 as an AP and im getting 84 out of 150mbps. my main ISP router gives me 81 on 2.4 and 155 on 5G.

[@jdlt4235]

What PC case is that in the background.

[@Isaiahkool1671]

Can someone explain this to me even tho it might be common sense. If my parents router is downstairs connected to a computer and modem and i want my own personal router, how would i be able to hook it up wirelessly? Would my own router have to stay connected to the modem downstairs or can i move it in my room and use it as a wireless access point? Can two routers even be connected to one modem?

[@TechBlock]

Yep you can have two routers connected to one modem

[@synix7331]

totally unrelated.. but where is ur desk from and what monitors are you using and where did uget that lovely background from? sorry for all the questions. p.s u just got another sub :) sick video man!

[@kryztownsmen2884]

I’m loving the editing Em. It’s amazing. I was considering getting one of these. I may have to after this video

[@TechBlock]

Thank you!

[@c14r4n6]

This might be a stupid question but is this as an "add-on" to your current router or do you have to pay monthly for it like an actual separate router from a provider?

[@ryanblease2556]

Love the videos. Got myself the xr500 today. How do I go about getting the dumaOs 3.0. Thanks

[@edclarke362]

I've got the razer hyperflux and on the instructions it says that is should be at least 1 meter away from the router

[@TechBlock]

Yeah it does say that, I should be fine though :)

[@edclarke362]

Please can you do a pc building video???

[@TechBlock]

Only when I upgrade my PC :)

[@SteezyKobi]

so if your family uses spectrum and i buy and setup a netgear router will it work?

[@peteryang7784]

Where's the link for the RGB Desk Clock?

[@Astro-qm2gs]

Would it be good for gaming on a iPad for just my iPad

[@DRSKINGDAVID]

Do these work with fiber modems?

[@DeeconYT]

Do you need a pc to set up the Night hawk?

[@DucknFope]

Is your pc plugged into the router or modem or is it fully wireless?

[@metaldragongaming597]

how many purchased right after video just liked and subscribed

[@goldennugget2031]

Will this help reduce ping even if you are already playing with a wired connection ??

[@isaac7423]

Is this router good?

[@the_hyt_trumpter8115]

What's the rgb clock on his desk called

[@mudundomawana6886]

Quick question do you just need too plug in an ethernet cable leading from your old/current modem straight into your new gaming router? I only have vdsl/phone line in my house and want too purchase a gaming router but none of them seem too have a adsl/vdsl port cheers

[@buckseyboy]

Hi , I’m confused is this a WiFi extender or a router??? Because I’m Looking for a top of the range WiFi extender, please help!

[@amarbuchi8654]

Does the more good router reduce ping latency?

[@thedestinyreaper5123]

Where did u buy that clock

[@mackskicks7519]

So I just connect it to my router I already have?

[@l8Os]

why do you need a hard drive on a router? What is that for

[@bl1nk475]

Ik it's late but if I put 2 ethernet cables into a ps4 and a pc will it work without the broadband cable being plugged in? Also if I don't have home WiFi (no bt , EE , talktalk wifi) will this work without it. (Can I just plug it in , connect it to my two devices and have no problems at all? I'm not trying to waste money

[@N0LYF3]

where can i get one of those digital circle clocks that you have below the monitor?

[@blackwing7674]

It's Amazon echo spot

[@thetechsolomons7954]

thansk Tech Block been looking also for routers as well nice input

[@kagenfoster3663]

How much per month or is it free for life after u buy

[@knonics5337]

Venom Vision one time payment

[@CheLios412]

Is this compatible with xfinity?

[@tinostarks]

you should use iperf to test speeds, when your internet is only 75Mbits that's not really gonna give any modern router a problem. Setup an iperf server on your pc (which should be hardwired into your LAN) and run a client test from your phone or laptop to see how good the wireless really is.

How is it holding up now

[@tonybxnds538]

Does this machine come with WiFi or do you have to get WiFi through an internet provider

[@TechBlock]

No it doesn't come with WiFi. You need an ISP

[@htoowaiyan4452]

I have a modem router from dlink and I bought this router today but cannot link it. Any solution? I have VDSL connecttion

[@matt.5565]

Where did u get yourbed frame? I need it!

[@bentrott2752]

Do you have to plug the gaming router into the actual router?

[@TechBlock]

I plugged the router into my modem

[@bentrott2752]

TechBlock so I won’t be able to have the gaming router in my room while my modem is downstairs?

[@TechBlock]

You can, get a powerline adapter

[@bentrott2752]

Legend x

[@jarryjayo]

16:20 what is that little clock you have there. ?

[@kennedyespinosa7272]

Will this work with a cable modem+WiFi router?

[@jaheda]

If my router is downstairs how can I use that netgear thing in my room because I can’t use the Ethernet wire thing to connect to the router cuz it’s way too far.

[@honksou7009]

why not recording directly from the screen instead of recording THE Screen with the camera

[@Welbeloved]

I'm getting this router, so I can have an open NAT on all of the consoles in the house. Plus, while ppl are on their tablets, cellphones, & laptops, I won't get thrown on a strict connection while trying to game with friends. Lastly, the 4 antennas will widen the WiFi signal throughout the house.

[@PeterM1021]

I have also bt infinity but the modem is built into the router so could I just plug the netgear into my by router? Great video btw

[@longballslongballs6845]

Nope bt a bitch with this

[@Antonio00213]

Is it nbn or adsl PLEASE ANSWER

[@TechBlock]

I have an ADSL connection

[@Antonio00213]

TechBlock will it work with NBN? I have nbn

[@TechBlock]

I've never used an NBN connection, you plug an Ethernet cable into the router. If you can do that, then you should be fine

[@toojokey2488]

Can you just connect the Ethernet cable to your system and get internet even if you don’t have WiFi?

[@TechBlock]

I don't understand

[@pokeonmobile8032]

I was looking up new routers and I found your tech channel and I find your channel/videos really enjoyable because of the way you talk, you just seem chill and it makes me chill, lol and you're also one of my favorite tech channels, up there with LinusTech, Jayztwocents, Bitwit, Paul's Hardware and HardwareCanucks. Anyway 10/10 video will watch again.😁

[@TechBlock]

Thank you so much Elias!! Appreciate dude! I hope you like my other videos too!

[@davidedwards7569]

Hiya great vid. One question how did you get this router to work with the bt hub please as I’m getting double nat when I do it cheers

[@theoutbreak1651]

[@JustCyclone]

So what is a power line adapter Tech Block?

[@TechBlock]

www.techradar.com/news/networking/powerline-networking-what-you-need-to-know-930691

[@pokemonghoultcg4590]

Since I have a 2 story house and the wifi is downstairs does the powerline adapter bounce the wifi upstairs?

[@TechBlock]

I think what you're looking for is a WiFi extender

[@JnzyFN]

Do you have to pay monthly for this still?

[@arcxne4756]

this is one time purchase right no monthly?

[@TechBlock]

Unless you want to finance it and pay monthly for the router, it’s a one time purchase 😆

[@arcxne4756]

TechBlock is the software hard to use?

[@jacobfitzgerald6050]

pro tip bend the antenas to match eachothers bent postion as best you can it makes the range much longer and might help preformance idk just me and it worked for me and my router

[@CarlosTorres-zu8jc]

Can I just connect this to my Xbox?

[@Damian-ij2ey]

If I have a direct connection to my wall/modem to my pc is it worth getting a router??(kinda new to this stuff)

[@OakerGaming]

No because your very unprotected from the internet.

[@OakerGaming]

Plus if you have a phone you won't have wifi, that's what a router does it makes a wifi connection which is wireless internet. What I would do is just get the router and have a wired connection through Ethernet to pc.

[@Itsmagicneil]

Question. I play black ops 4 on my ps4 pro but my ping is 60+ which is not that great for online play. I do have an internet plan for 200 mbps download and 10 mbps upload. But i still have what seems like latency. What would you recommend?? Note that i live in Idaho and that might be the case. How do i get a better ping?? Please help.

[@TheLeetsquad]

You dont

[@chrilledillchips]

your ping = your home to the server you are playing on

[@longballslongballs6845]

@karim lavji 60 is crap ...15 to 35 is good

[@asdadada3396]

Try a gaming VPN. Something like WTFast. It should help increase ping (I went from 400 to 60 back in my Minecraft days, can’t vouch for now though it’s been a few years)

[@muttakeenhabib4299]

R u using wired or wifi? That might be the case use a wired connection for the best connection and less ping ma dude

[@YouFoundCam]

is it able to get lower then 13 ping?

[@lushszn]

If my router or modem from xfinity is 60 mbps will the XR500 be faster than that?

[@lushszn]

eNc Avid dang that’s nice man
