Also, a solution to fix the interference from the 2.4 GHz devices (microwave ovens, Bluetooth) - which, unfortunately, might require further investments into home network: get dual-band router/mesh system (depending on the size of the housing) with 5 GHz WiFi, and make sure the device you pair your Bluetooth headphones to (whether it's a phone, tablet, or a laptop) also supports dual-band connections (802.11ac/ax, i.e. WiFi 5 or 6 in device specs is a good indicator); this way the device, when in router's vicinity, will most likely connect to it through 5 GHz, thus allowing the connection to avoid interference from Bluetooth and get the full speed.

I'm a wireless network engineer. Antennas pointing opposite directions is an easy red flag for "someone doesn't know what they are doing". It causes "hidden node" connection problems, as well as also impairing a lot of the MIMO and multipath-based algorithms. The only place having antennas pointing in different directions helps is on the client device, if you do that to the router (access point) you are just making things worse (and more unpredictable).

Orienting router antennas perpendicularly, will disable the MIMO capabilities of your router. While it is true that matching polarity between antennas (vertical or horizontal) works best when you have direct line of sight (LoS) between devices, as soon as you put walls and other objects between them, the signals starts reflecting, and taking different paths to reach your device. MIMO is built into all Wifi routers with multiple antennas (as well as 3G/4G/LTE), and it allows the router to increase total bandwidth by sending different signals through each antenna following the reflected paths to your device. For MIMO to work properly all the router antennas need to be parallel. Similarly, modern high end routers include something called beam steering which is where the same signal is sent from multiple (usually 3 or more) antennas as once slightly out of phase such that all the signals reinforce each other in one specific direction and cancel each other in ever other direction. A high end router can literally target up to 4 individual devices this way. This greatly increases the signal strength when talking to devices in far corners of the house and increases bandwidth everywhere. Again, this only works when all router antennas are parallel to each other. When the antennas are perpendicular to each other, the signal from one will be 20-30dB weaker than the other so they cannot work together.

[@Ford-ju9yr]

I can only add the fact that antennas send signal around them, but not in the direction of pointy part of antenna. So basically you send signal to ceiling and basement, but not in the direction your antenna is pointed

[@bradavon]

This is great. One problem not mentioned, you're limited where you can put the router depending where the telephone or cable point is that's coming in from outside.

[@silentz0r]

And number 6, the most important one for people living in blocks of flats: Change your broadcasting channel to a less busy one. This means run a quick scan to see which broadcasts you can see, check what channel they're broadcasting in, pick a different channel than the most common one. Channels still interfere with +-5 around them, so Channel 1 is only completely separate from Channel 6 and up, etc.

[@tali4569]

I get crap wifi and have never channel shared

[@zebrom210]

better add for 2.4 ghz dont try to pick a channel other than 1, 6, or 11 If you pick another one you will cause interference for yourself and everyone in your range

[@smithydll]

Yep, 1. 6, and 11 are the non-overlapping channels. WiFi broadcasts are 20 MHz wide but the channels are 5 MHz, which means channel 1 broadcasts over channels -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, channel 6 broadcasts over channels 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, channel 11 broadcasts over channels 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.

[@Yukkuri_Yakumo]

I was having loud conversations about wanting better wifi near my phone and now this is finally being recommended. Thank god. Sometimes the spying is helpful.

[@rotellam]

Also don't use a channel that other people nearby are using because the waves can cancel each other out and force retransmissions. This is a big problem for enterprise Wi-Fi deployments in multi-tenant buildings. I should know, I've deployed Wi-Fi for enterprises; I'm a network engineer.

[@rotellam]

***** Yes, you can indeed. There's many apps that can tell you nearby Wi-Fi channels. "Wi-Fi Analyzer" is a popular one. Without getting into the physics of it, overlapping waves will force you to re-transmit. If you're using 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, you'll want to use 1, 6, or 11 (or 14 if available). For 5.0 GHz, there's more channels and dynamic protocols to pick them so if you can use it, use that. Changing it will depend on your access point ("router") but it should be available in the settings. Here's a decent article: www.howtogeek.com/197268/how-to-find-the-best-wi-fi-channel-for-your-router-on-any-operating-system/. Hopefully that'll help you out :-)

[@rotellam]

***** No problem man. Good luck with your Wi-Fi.

[@smithydll]

Not quite. For 2.4 GHz, only use channels 1, 6, or 11 because WiFi broadcasts are 20 MHz wide, but the channels listed are only 5 MHz wide. WiFi networks sharing the same channel, say 6 can co-operate and share air time whereas WiFi networks on adjacent channels say 4 and 6 are overlapping but not completely and are pure interference. To fix WiFi in a multi tenant building everyone must use 1, 6, and 11 which modern routers do out of the box. But there is always someone "smarter" who changes it to an overlapping channel and makes it bad for everyone including themselves. Also multi-tenant, don't use 40 MHz channels, stick to 20 MHz.

[@daemn42]

That has not been my experience at all. I live in relatively high density housing and there are about 20 strong 2.4Ghz Wifi networks visible from my upper floor. Virtually all of them are on ch1, 6 and 11 as those are the router defaults, but if I let my router use any of those 3 channels then the performance is truly dreadful (cuts my max throughput to 1-3Mbit/s). They do not play nice with each other at all. I switched to ch3, and performance has been greatly improved (up to 30-40Mbit/s). I doubt that the folks on 1 and 6 are hurt any worse by my small overlap than they already are by the other 6 networks each channel is sharing with. Wifi networks only "cooperate" via "listen before send" so if the channel is full of traffic, you simply get less bandwidth. My biggest improvement though has been to get off of 2.4Ghz and use 5Ghz as much as possible. Most people own 5Ghz capable routers, but never use it. In my neighborhood I'm the only one. Total range and penetration is a bit reduced, but when router antennas are oriented properly or when closer to the router, I can get a full 60Mbit/s over 5Ghz. The shorter range and penetration is actually an advantage in high density housing because you interfere with, and are interfered with over a much smaller radius.

I had given up on using wifi in that bathroom because it'd keep cutting out. THANK YOU!!!

[@stewartmahoney792]

Antenna of access points / home routers should always be facing in the same orientation as they depend on each other for situations such as multi-path & MIMO.

[@DrCranium]

I concur: in some cases placing antennas perpendicularly might help; quote RMerlin (author of a popular, OpenWRT-like firmware for Asus routers): "While it will depend on your specific environment, the most generic recommendation is to keep all antennas vertical if covering a single floor, or orient half of them at 45 degrees if covering multiple floors. Orienting some of them at 45 degrees might help for some single floor environment, depending on the kind of obstacles present in the direct line of sight between the router and the clients" That being said, in an apartment building it really is preferable to place antennas vertically: this way you'll minimize interference you inflict on the neighbours' routers from lower and upper floors, and if they're doing the same - their interference on your router.

[@G1NZOU]

@@DrCranium True, if they need to be in certain positions for best performance the instructions will usually say so anyway. Alternatively you can get ones with internal antennas which are already positioned in the ideal positions, despite being internal and smaller if it's designed well it won't matter.

***** Sure, thats always the case. But with my 1GB mobile data plan i sure as hell dont turn off WiFi at home because of security concerns :)

[@EdwardMendelson]

So... you're doing the Hitler moustache. Does your lip hair grow that way naturally, or are you just a bad person?

[@AriffSuffian]

Great, I'm doing exactly the opposite of each step.

[@JNeverMindMe]

Vox narrator: dou you even vocalize, bro?

[@kongyiu]

For best range, connect a 100 meter Cat6 ethernet cable to your router!!

[@LenoresW]

Also change your router frequency especially if you live in a crowded place with many other people who use wifi. Most of them use the same frequency, but if you change yours, your connection will be much better

[@Snarfindorf]

Thanks for the informative video.

[@crypticTV]

Is this being recommended to me again now because of the ps5?? 😂😂

Had that tplink router used in this vid forever. Just upgraded and so much better

[@sCience123]

Really useful especially during the Zoom Lessons Session

[@rKhighlight]

I think you forgot to mention to manually adjust the WiFi band on which your devices connect with your router. Especially in cities and dense neighborhoods WiFi networks interfere with each other. There are a lot of apps analysing the WiFi bands surrounding you and changing your own one can in some cases dramatically improve signal strength and data speed.

No puedo conectarme como reponer está clase por favor

[@InfinityMob]

I have a 1000 Mbps plan and run wireless internet and get around 20 Mbps. My router says it supports 1600 Mbps, so what do I do to optimize the speed? Thanks!

[@buizelproductions-movedtob7799]

There are so many factors. Your router is dual-band (i know that because wifi only goes up to 968mbps), and only supports up to 968mbps + 600mbps but not on the same device. Your phone/tablet/TV/phone may also not support wifi ac or ad, so it might only support wireless n, which is pretty slow. Also you might be using 2.4GHz band, in which you have to switch to 5Ghz to get the faster speed. This is usually a different wifi network. Also its "up to 968mbps" not "968mbps" because other devices may use up some of 2.4GHz or 5GHz, leaving your wifi network with only some of it.

[@wavo5956]

Use your neighbors wifi

[@KRATISHQ]

Vekays use 20mhz band instead of 40mhz it works better then this not 1000mbps but ya uts can gives you 50+

[@Cloudrak]

Could be because of your device.

[@niklassara4571]

Cameron Smyllie -1000 subs with no good content i get 700 mbps.

[@shubhamchavan1110]

Instructions totally clear, I'll truly share this video to my neighbour...

[@azharazeez2855]

the antenna trick you mentioned worked well.

[@KittySYT]

I use a Tinfoil to steal my neighbours wifi 😂

[@grubybueno]

Whaa? How?

[@christopherfranceschi5886]

lol

[@KittySYT]

GrubyBueno Just cover your ordinary router with an aluminum foil to give that extra boost. NASA does it all the times with the satellite equipments to boost the communication signals with the aliens. ☻

[@grubybueno]

Thanks, I'll leave a note to the neighbor

[@michael102]

microwaves are the worst for wifi

[@iiDefied]

Try taking it out of the microwave.

[@michael102]

lol!!!

[@laszesen]

+T Hoang Useless fact: the 2.4GHz radio band was deemed useless for commercial purposes because of leaky microwave ovens. This unsellable band in the radio spectrum is now free for everyone simply because of dodgy appliances.

[@gcraneorigami]

i have a solution! plug a Ethernet cable into your phone!

[@cfuse]

+Gavin Crane As ridiculous as this sounds, there are some use cases for this. I've done it myself.

[@evren.builds]

+cfuse how do you actually plug one in :o

[@havingfun1968]

Outstanding, and yet such a simple video.

Too much hassle, I'll just stick with dial up.

[@lemiiking4790]

just broke into my neighbor's house to bend the router antenna ....working like a charm now!

[@jesseroel8362]

My neighbour sent me this video. What a sweet guy.

Whaaaaa meas he is using ur wifi

Alt title : how to make ur ps5 faster

[@dzuul]

So, if a door gonna absorb some of the connection... Will the door send Google the anatomy of a door itself?

[@Marcin_z_bloku_obok]

1:17 I got a TV with wifi inside so that's total BS

[@MACROPARTICLE]

I used those methods with one modification; I used a sheet of aluminium foil as the base that the router is directly suspended above, with the shinier side of the foil facing up, of course. My internet is now so much faster, I can really notice the difference when it comes to gaming and web-surfing.

[@shepherd3133]

Bro it worked i just had to put mine on the floor and the resolution on my tv changed thanks man

[@lonerider92]

Wrong advice, the antennas push the signal up not down, position your WAP on the ceiling for best signal range. Even first year Cisco majors know that.

[@awirstam]

+lonerider92 you're booth wrong. It's obviously an isotropic antenna which radiates the same intensity of radiation in all directions.

[@lonerider92]

Andreas Wirstam No you are the wrong one, if you want to get technical it's an omidirectional antenna, and it's best mounted on the ceiling because of the doughnut shape wave it makes which is pushed up at the tips of the antenna.

[@awirstam]

+lonerider92 if it is an omnidirectional antenna that would limit its radiation in the top and in the bottom witch as I stated before still makes you both wrong. But please explain your reasoning how it would get an upwards radio lobe without any reflectors

[@GsBBoyDan]

+lonerider92 YOU'RE ALL WRONG! Point them straight up, because the aliens will beam back a stronger signal using their super highly advanced quantum antenna technology.

I don't have antennas... Tsk..

[@friedchicken1]

it doesn't matter, as long as your router has them should be fine

[@thaghost909]

I don't get it. What's the relation between a USB port and antenna? Do they expect us to buy external antennas?

[@lascha2nd199]

same. but my wifi its horizontal, like wall

this is hilarious why doesn't it have more likes

[@rithiksebastian1598]

Me: Hmm, nice. A good video recommendation. **Sees that the video is from vox** Me: *IGHT IMMA HEAD OUT*

[@exidrial431]

0:35 "because it broadcasts the signal out in equal strength in all directions" Wrong. Radio waves travel out and down much better than out and up therefore placing the router higher up is better than lower down. Wifi quality above the router will always be worse than below the router. 1:25 That's not the reason why you can change direction of your antennae. Vertically orientated antennae are better at broadcasting wifi signals "wide" while horizontally alligned antennae are better at broadcasting WiFi signals "high"

[@terrorwraith3402]

So after 4 years and finally KZbin recommended me this 🌚
