[@heeerrresjonny]

Initially I thought this wouldn't matter, but it looks like the OnePlus 11 is listed as having 2x2 MIMO which should mean it can only do 2 spatial streams. Unless I made a mistake, I think 2 streams @ 320Mhz width = 5.8Gbps max, but @ 160Mhz it'd be half that or around 2.4Gbps. I had assumed (incorrectly lol) that WiFi 7 clients would bump up the number of streams used since technically it can go up to 16.

The current version, MoCA 2.5, can do up to 1 Gbps in full duplex or 2.5 Gbps in half duplex, with ~3ms of latency. Snazzy did a video about this. The next version, MoCA 3.0, is supposed to be capable of up to 5 Gbps in full duplex or 10 Gbps in half duplex, but only if you give it the full RF spectrum of the coax cable (no DOCSIS Internet or cable TV). My hope (and I could be wrong) is that it will be able to work at 2.5 Gbps full duplex when used alongside DOCSIS. To my knowledge, MoCA 3.0 currently only "exists" as a finalized specification from 2018; there's no silicon available for OEMs to build products with.

Just a quick comment : Wi-Fi 7 provides better bandwidth, thanks to MLO (Multi Link Operation) i.e. aggregation of the 2.4+5+6GHz band. Unfortunately current phones can only support MLO on 2 bands (2.4+5 or 5+6). Secondly, the number of stream matters: eero got 2x2@2.4GHz + 4x4@5GHz + 4x4@6GHz. Your phone is probably 2x2 on each stream. So the best Wi-Fi speed will be between 2 eero at this stage, until 4x4x4 PC cards come into the market. Regarding the standard, major features are standard and "reliable " : MLO, 320MHz bandwidth, 1024 QAM and MRU.

I use WiFi 5 kit atm and get about 300+ Mbit in most rooms in a 4 bed house with a few APs. meshed not hardwired. It's fine for almost all content currently. When I do upgrade to wifi 7, it'll be probably for the next 5-10 years unless there is some huge advancement that requires it 2.5Gbit internet will be in my area soon with existing cable (using FTTP and then converting to coax using DOCSIS 3.1/4) , 10Gbit with XGS-PON is being deployed by alt-nets in my area too.

Let me tell you why it took you minutes to upload a 7Gbs video. The speed 3.5Gbps you were getting was on an another server means if you upload that 7Gbs video to that specific server it will take the calculated time which is 30 secounds. If you want to see the real speed try doing speed test on original KZbin server.

Give it a year or 2 before upgrading. Most of your devices don’t support it, so it doesn’t make sense to invest in a router when they’ve just come out and are going to be ridiculously expensive.

In addition, MLO isn't being supported by all devices yet, when they do, the speed will also go up. It seems to be working for me, so that's probably why I manage to get these speeds.

Well there was one much cheaper portable battery that could do 90w to one port or..... 30 if both were in use. We really only need 15w, with some laptops needing 35w to prevent a charger warning at post, but so far it seems all of the bricks we've tested have some sort of internal switching that only runs 20v on a single port, dropping the other port down to either 12v or 5v Alternatively i'd actually prefer if someone could make a 35w charger no larger than a normnal plug face and no more than 4 inches deep that would allow for one wallport per laptop, and instead of sitting the chargers in a little basket, they can sit nice and tidy on the power strips running up and down each side of the cart

Not sure why the Quest3 doesn't have better wireless is it because of the vram and ssd speed because i read that the storage is not the culprit maybe it's just the codec idk how compression works? You don't need wifi7 speeds for watching movies because 4K native is all you'll get for the next 50 years and current speeds are already fast enough. Cloud Gaming maybe but that won't be a thing until the entire western hemisphere catches up to 2Gbps connections so another 10 years at least because ISP's charge too much and most people are happy with 300Mbps speeds. we will get 8K but they'll lock it behind a paywall guaranteed because youtube is already doing it. not sure about netflix etc because how many people are ever going to own TV's bigger than 60 inch anyway. you can right now buy 100" TV's for $1500 and it doesn't seem like people are all that interested because no one has the space. i almost forgot about cheap hardware upscalers like the shield which most people still don't know about. so yeah.. wifi7 is mostly useless to most people unless i am overlooking something.

70 pound a month for 1 gig ? And tax ( which shoukd be allready added with the 70) thats 53 gbp which is 23 gbp more than the 30 i pay ..

[@plmpcharisma9686]

Question I have an Xbox series x with Ethernet hard wired into it. Im supposed to get 1 gig speed but when downloading it fluctuates anywhere from 200-600mbps. What could be the issue?

[@angelh1743]

I noticed you're using a Unifi controller (looks like a UDM Pro) and a Unifi 24 POE+ switch so why didn't you just go with 3 Unifi Access Point U7 Pro's instead? Because 3 Unifi Access Point U7 Pro's would have only cost you around $567. Plus you don't have to pay for any of that subscription non-sense since your UDM Pro does all the traffic monitoring, firewalls, ad blocking, phishing blocking for FREE. For FREE. Going with EERO product makes absolutely no logical sense. Is your video sponsored by EERO?

[@KOOLBOI2006]

average home user won't need more than 500 or lets say even 1gig internet. Heck, even 200-250 is overkill for most but others like me want SPEED for the sake of it. Max i can get is 1gig or 5gig under business but i'm not paying stupid price for those speeds.

[@mahavakyas002]

google fiber and other providers need to expand their coverage map ffs. so frustrating being stuck with FTC connections... ugh

[@AlucardNoir]

The reason why most people have not updated tho Wifi 6 is because it was a minor upgrade only worth it if you had a shit ton of devices and most people never bought into the smart home but from someone else's server crap. By the time 6e came out the only device most people had that supported 6 was their home. Wifi 7 is a theoretic improvement on paper, but in practice, especially if most of your devices aren't 7 you're not going to see much of anything. And the first devices that will support it are going to again be phones. Even today many devices still only support the 2.4ghz band. what's the point of investing in 7 when not all your devices might be 6 or 6e ready? In order for people to actually upgrade to the next standard it needs to stop being backwards compatible. A standard that uses only 3/4 channels in 2.4Ghz for example as opposed to the crap we have now would actually improve communication on that band. Many bonded channels aren't well suported on a lot of devices, don't think I've seen 160 ever used, and now they want a 320 Mhz channel? And while there are a lot of good idea in Wifi 7, the truth is most people don't have compatible devices and will not upgrade or can't upgrade the modules in their desktops, laptops, tablets, phones, ereaders, TVs and so on.

[@tim3172]

I'm not sure anyone who is buying 8Gb Internet and a $1700 wireless solution cares, but each device uses about 65 watts. That puts it at about $25/month to run in most states (around 30 cents kWh, much of California, Texas, and Florida pay much more, some areas pay way less, bringin the national average to 14 cents/kWh... but again, most populated areas with most people will pay around that price), Also, I downvoted for outdated "master and slave" terminology. Please do better.

[@Unnamed7964]

6:20 this is a mystery for me, the WiFi details tab shows a connection speed of 5764mbps, however, within the wifiman app it shows that you're connected through the 160mhz channel width (6:34) at 6ghz in wifi 7. What's strange is that the theoretical maximum speed for that configuration is somewhere around 4.9gbps and not 5.7gbps, why is the physical layer limit exceeding the theoretical limit of the configuration? Is the physical layer limit supposed to be higher than the theoretical limit? I'm certainly overlooking something, clarifications from anyone would be appreciated.

[@AmericanNuke54]

The funny thing is, no one really needs speeds over a gig. Atleast most residential. I know a guy who wanted 2 gig fiber, because it was faster than 1. I tried to talk him out of it because its all wasted speed. Even KZbin caps you at 1 gig upload speeds and he only streams movies/tv shows.

[@LongestDayOfMyLife24]

For OnePlus you can view your Wi-Fi version by going under the Wi-Fi status display and turning on the Wi-Fi version number.

[@on.belief]

Hey, your videos are informative and interesting, but what the hell is this channel. Why have I never heard of you before. Why was it started by a teenager 15 years ago, what’s going on? Did you buy this channel? Do you work for the teenager Obviously not a teenager anymore? It’s a little creepy, not knowing.

[@LibreGlider]

WOW! A non sponsored WiFi 7 review! Real reviews are so important. One way to guarentee I never buy a product is to have an ad blasted at me over and over, or have a youtuber give a sponsored review that's non critical of the products weak points.

[@mbingham666]

Unifi wifi 7 APs are $200.... Not any more expensive than the Wifi 6 models. Please stop buying all-in-one units. Get yourself a pfsense router and separate switch and AP. Performance is amazingly better and more reliable

[@viivcreations9161]

Funny people seem to think its mandatory to have gigabit...we still like in rural america on 25mbps connection so even wifi6 is useless outhere. Yet I can still play all my games at a stable 50ms and do everything like everyone else can except streaming. Not sure why people think they NEED such high speeds.

[@mikeg6069]

What I'd like to know is the difference in wireless backhaul connection speeds between 6E and 7 nodes. I live in a large house where wired backhaul is not possible. Therefore, I'm always trying to find out what performance to expect from wireless backhaul connections in speed AND in distance apart. Is 7 better than 6E in this regard or are they the same?

[@NathanBudd]

Nice video. I'm pretty sure the Master/Slave terminology has been replaced in the moajority of instances with Primary/Secondary now though.

[@zoomdiepie75]

I remember Wifi 7 have up to 46 gbps , wifi 8 is up to 100gbps or 200gbps , if am correct, wifi 9 will have 1tbps , just like 6g , this will have holographic image that we never seen before by 2030s

[@mt-s7775]

I am on WiFi - 6E and I'm getting 1,850 Mbits/s Down and 700 Mbits/s Up ! It is already extremely fast, 100GB in 7 min ! 39.90€ per month here in the EU !

[@djsnowpdx]

Bro, I am so happy right now! Apple would not accommodate my prescription, so I saved thousands on Apple vision, Pro, and now I can save thousands not buying Wi-Fi seven yet! I am Rich! 🤑

[@bvp663]

Your WiFi/home networking/smart home videos are my favorite.

[@nawshiz951]

$150 for 8Gb wow. I'm living in Milan Italy right now and 10gb is so cheap. paying about $44 usd for internet and 4 cell phones. its insane.

[@angelh1743]

EERO is the worst choice possible. Why would anyone choose that? There is no need for monthly subscriptions. You're allowing yourself to be scammed. On purpose. Bone-head move dude.

[@Amybnuy]

one thing i love about wifi 7 is that it offers improvements at a distance, so your low signal 40mbps is like 80mbps.

[@Diastolicflame]

wtf, I would never spend 1700 dollars on something stupid like that when you can buy 180 dollar ubiquity wifi access points, with each supporting wifi 7, currently they are sold out as you can probably tell that is super good price and all ubiquity access points support meshing. Oh did I mention its also fully managed with vlan access controls and everything else you can expect from an enterprise grade wifi access point? I know they don't fully saturate the bandwidth but apparently that is coming in a later update from what I saw on the website. Not trying to be mean but that price point is absolutly insane, I love how in the networking world consumer gear costs more money because you can easily manipulate the average consumer into thinking a router is the same thing as wifi which everyone thinks, nothing will ever beat a hard wire though unfortunantly.

[@colab_stdio]

Dude, whats that wifi monitor app? Superb something? I cant find it on the play store. Looks like something useful when im checking wifi congestion around this area. But i cant find the exact thing on the playstore. Whats the name again? Thanks 😉

[@mrbane2000]

Meanwhile, there's me in Serbia with 4Mbit/s internet struggling to open instagram, and max i could get with 4g is 20Mbit/s

[@moisestheentrepreneur637]

Watching this video on my wifi 7 MLO wifi connection with my galaxy s24 plus! MLO network on wifi 7 will be big guys, even for the next wifi standard get yourself androids & enjoy newest hardware & testing situations

[@HankGrill]

Since WHEN has anything related to computers ever delivered capabilities as advertised or even promised? I fell out w USB 3.0 lol

[@dennisvanlith]

1700 Dollars for a Wifi7 Setup. I just bought two Wifi7 Acces Points for 500 euro...

[@Bradleybrookwood]

I would love to try the Wi-Fi seven and Wi-Fi eight. Problem is I don't know if my router supports it because my router is one of those routers that was built into the wall when I moved into my apartment. It's a modem and router all built-in one and it's actually built into the wall and wired into the wall When they constructed these apartments. The building is two years old if anybody is wondering about specifics.

[@GalenlevyPhoto]

Im using 1 gigabit internet services and only get 300 Mbps speeds because the modem is old and doesn’t support 1 GBPs speeds. I haven’t bothered to upgrade the modem just yet.

[@vasudevmenon2496]

WiFi 6e 6ghz isn't even available in India and the mesh or routers are expensive>400$. WiFi 6 is available for cheaper i still am using Wi-Fi 5 since the physical ISP under 200Mbps

[@tcamm9812]

Everyone complains about wifi speeds/coverage but are cheapskates and won’t invest in a good router. They would rather complain about the free cheap router given to them by their isp and expect stellar performance lol.
