Another great info dump here. Thanks Josh! I also really like that you cover Linux support in your content. It’s very often skipped over by other creators. Keep up the great work!

Hi Josh I was really hoping u could release another “best laptops of..” but for 2021. I know the years not over yet but I really need a new laptop and Black Friday is here so I’m sure me and all the viewers would really appreciate it. Keep up the good work 👍🏾

Sure why not. Ill work on it after the next one. Out in time for Black Friday

[@olivereliasson799]

@@bilalmehmood2557 i tried the ideapad 5 pro 14 inch with 5800u. Great performance but i ended up returning it. I thought the trackpad felt laggy and not so smooth to the touch. The keyboard was god however. The speakers was pretty bad as well, and the fans loud during load. (I had the 5800U, 16gig ram, 90hz 2800x1800 matt display 400nits) I compered it to the yoga slim 7 pro. (Cost 100$ more regular) but were on sale for the same price. Is was all around much nicer to use. Better keyboard, trackpad, speakers. Only downside is the lacking of ports and that it has a glossy instead of matt display. But i would still recommend the yoga first. Worth 100$ more if you can afford it.

[@bilalmehmood2557]

I am doing a network design project for a community centre using wifi 6e.... Good video!

[@nrikhy2793]

6ghz is meant for indoor usage only. You can still get excellent speeds on wifi 5 on the 5ghz band which has better range, especially for your intranet file sharing needs, if your router supports that speed.

[@AdaDenali]

Okay you were right, it was way better than I would think. I was not expecting that level of performance through 2 walls

[@darrell9616]

As usual, very informative content. I appreciated your thorough, real world use cases. Great callouts on OS difficulties as I am currently using Win 10 and Ubuntu 21.10.

[@progressivelyfast]

Interesting explanation about the channel of WiFi.

[@thelawlesshiker]

After about 30 seconds of you I wanted to punch myself in the temple. The pain was a welcome reprieve. Afterwards, I realized I had failed to "smash" the stop button and this made me feel very disappointed in myself. This in turn sparked a powerful lust for whiskey which I satisfied with Wild Turkey 101. Soon after, I found myself caught in a violent feud with my dog. I was forced to kick it in the stomach several times. It attempted to fight back but after a few days of no food it submitted to reason. In closing, the world is worse off now because of your video.

[@kubuz37]

Great video as always! I'm looking forward to your Huawei Matebook 14s review if it's ever gonna happen

[@mdh.3421]

You should try switching that second router from mesh to just a bridge. Hook your laptop up using Ethernet and testing it. I am curious what your speeds would be if the second router is not worried about acting as a repeater. Just a thought, I do this with my desktop instead of using an internal Wi-Fi card

[@JustJoshTech]

Very interesting idea

[@chrsil]

Great video. ASUS makes very good routers but lets get to the point. Will you recommend an ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 or the Netgear AXE11000 WiFi Router (RAXE500)??? Not planning to connect multiple routers. Just one router for a 3500 sqf house with 3 levels ( basement/main/2nd) and router will be located in main floor. Ethernet connection is coming from outside so no ISP modem needed. Easy to manage, parental controls and hopefully easy to manage from phone app internally and externally. I will much appreciate your recommendation.

[@AdrielVelazquez]

Since shelter in place, I've been way more into my home wifi setup.

[@IvanKuzmenyukPersonal]

Wired Network = Power :). The last thing I want in my house is one more (or two) wi-fi spot. Nah, I am a cable guy.

[@DonzLockz]

Awesome information, thank you. I'm in the market for a new router as my ASUS AC88U is failing and I'm using my AC68U at the moment. I think I will go with the AXE11000 and mesh the AC68U for the backyard entertaining are where wifi connection is currently low speed due to distance. Thank you. :)

[@blue13x]

While these are great routers, they are intended for single use setup, which is not a good reason the consider the raxe500. For mesh, the orbi 936 from netgear would be better and beat both of these. From what I saw the Asus and netgear perform similar with a slight edge to the netgear.

[@Typhex27]

I just got a brand new wifi 6 router the tp link ax73 for 249 aud. Absolute steal for the price, much better than my old wifi 5 router. I think for most people, the routers reviewed in this video are extremely overkill and too expensive for them to consider. Something like what I got is in the budget of most people and unless you bought all your devices within the past 2-3 years, they may not even support wifi 6 so the reason to upgrade is even less. Maybe a wifi 6 router overview is what you should be showing.

[@JustJoshTech]

I appreciate that Varun. This video was more about showing what's coming! The bleeding edge. Hopefully the prices will drop over the next year or so

[@ymaizosz]

Hi Josh, A great informative video. Can you review the ASUS ZenWifi XT12 and ET12? It would be good to see if you still recomment sus GT-AXE11000 over them. Keep up the good work!!

[@BNTNJA]

Nice and very informative content! btw, I have seen someone doing 1.8Gbps DL on Xiaomi AX-9000 with Huawei P40. That speed is very impressive. btw2, Framework is here!

[@TeoBranzell]

Are you planning to make a video/ review of Lenovo’s new Yoga slim 7 pro gen 6 (16’ inch)? It’s pretty crazy the specs it comes with, and the price isn’t to crazy either... seriously considering to buy it - but it won’t ship for another 6-8 weeks...

[@GuiltyPleasures]

You should not have to disconnect // reconnect a device for it to swap between WIFI Nodes. It's called "roaming" and should be automatically negotiated between your device and your mesh network. Ultimately, roaming is dictated by the device, with or without active assistance from the mesh. Perhaps your device simply doesn't support wifi roaming, or has various options set in such a way as to effectively disable it. Several factors could contribute, I suppose, but it *SHOULD* be automatic. Otherwise, it's no different than managing multiple SSID via repeaters.

[@brothatwasepic]

Hi Josh. I was wondering if you have any tricks to get your Samsung s__ to actually see the 6Ghz band SSID in its wifi list

[@TerrifyingBird]

I see no reason to upgrade from my AVM setup. I still have mesh - which is the real game changer from old setups, IMO - wifi speeds are good, even if not breathtaking, and their update policy is flawless. (they update the router's firmware regularly! I know, crazy, right?)

[@tofu_golem]

Multichannel SMB requires multiple Ethernet ports on both devices. I'm not sure that is worth it. At least with link aggregation, you can have two devices each getting a 1 Gbps connection to the NAS.

[@uaeelectronics]

Asus doesn't mention, what channels are supported on the router. Each region has different channel support. Asus is too strict with its implementation, where channels 141-161 may not be available to you for usage.

[@AD34534]

Hey Josh, I suggest you measure network throughput using iperf3 instead.

[@lofasz3328]

So I'm confused. I've got wifi 6 where I am, but how do I know if I have wifi 6e? Or is that something that is updated periodically as it hits new regions? Like does it depend on the ISP? Does everyone switch over to wifi 6e as soon as it becomes available? Or do you literally just need one of these routers for it lol?

[@airtioteclint]

You need a wifi 6E router.

[@kaspersergej]

When it comes to Networking, prosumer hw is the way

[@RonoTron01]

Not sure if I'm willing to spend $1100 on two routers, I'll stick with normal wifi 6 for 1/5 of the price.

[@kr0nix]

Hello! I have the router but would constantly get dropped internet or freezing on multiple devices. Almost like a hiccup. Did you ever have any issues with that happening? I have 1gb download and it is an apartment complex. Any tips or things you tried?

[@bookmark2846]

I'm sold but now I just have to wait a year or two for prices to come down or when TP-Link comes out with the poor man's version.

[@CrossplatformGamerMasterRace]

Only just got WiFi 6 on all my devices... Seem like I won't notice the difference much given that i get like 360-400mbps download speeds as this seems to be aimed at Gigabit LAN with many neighbouring devices.

[@Preaizy]

Wifi 6 Ghz not show when i search just 2.4 and 5 !

[@radutomy]

Josh, while I appreciate your reviews, I think you focused too much on bandwidth here and failed to mentioned anything else which is of interest: - You didn't talk about the other killer application for 6GHz which is latency - and how it competes in this front with Ethernet. Can gamers finally ditch the cable? - Also, I suspect 99% of people don't have anywhere near your 1Gbps internet connection (myself included). Is 6E any use for the rest of us?

[@JustJoshTech]

Fair comments. Something im personally struggling with as a part time KZbinr is making videos on Tech that is relevant to me and relevant to my audience. Ive been trying to balance that a bit more recently

[@Fear.of.the.Dark.]

1gbps+ speed is where 6E is needed. you dont need it if you have 600mbps or lower speeds. Latency is good enough with Wifi 6 overall even on 5 Ghz network.

[@devnull4122]

@@Fear.of.the.Dark. I tried out the ARRIS W6U for adding 6 GHz to my existing network. The range was horrible and the latency wasn't any better than 5 GHz was, which is around 1-3 ms most of the time with spikes to 120 ms which is annoying.

[@jk-er2zt]

Problem is these companies are still trying hard to promote their wifi 6 routers which are still considered as next gen flagship routers to most people who are not tech enthusiasts and twice the price of wifi 5 mesh routers. Asus is not even selling wifi 6e routers in my place anyways (how are they going to sell their expensive mesh wifi 6 routers otherwise?)
