Wi-Fi Technology Update & Guidance - Wi-Fi 7 is Here

[@brucefay5126]

Nice video, Andy. Good overview and very timely. FWIW: Lower frequencies, like 2.4 GHz, penetrate non-metal walls better than higher frequencies, but for clear line-of-sight applications, power will be the main determinant of effective operating distance. I presume the power output of all Wi-Fi devices is limited by the spectrum regulations for those devices, but I do not know the exaction specifications. That is why directional antennas are used; all of the power is “focused” at a small target some distance away. Exact same idea as you report on with cellular boosters, etc.

Most mobile routers, hotspots and smartphones use omnidirectional antennas to distribute or receive Wi-Fi signals. Directional usually only comes into to play for Wi-Fi access points such as in a campground, and perhaps an RVer using a directional Wi-Fi antenna to pick up long range Wi-Fi. Directional antennas are also rarely useful in a marine environment with a boat that is always in motion.

@@MobileInternetResourceCenter Of course, but that was not the core of my point, which was the basic physics of electromagnetic propagation.

Need 2.4 especially for outdoor security cameras that need to communicate through walls with indoor routers.

Excellent. Thank you!

Excellent advice as usual. Thank you

Just got my first wifi 7 mesh setup. My DECO BE10000 has amazing range

GOOD INFORMATION!😃👍🎉

I know is early in the game, but does it make sense to get a Wi-Fi 7 mesh system now and at least I have the technology ready for when more devices become available on this new Wi-Fi 7? I have my Orbi Wi-Fi 5 for the last 9 years and I have no complaints at all. Orbi has been a great mesh system and I am seriously thinking about upgrading to the 970 series.

Excellent video. I have a Google Wi-Fi mesh system with three access points. It was purchased about 8 years ago. It automatically selects 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz, depending on the device. I pay for 500 Mbps download speed from my ISP. I do get 400+ Mbps near the main router, which is next to the modem. The other two access points are connected wirelessly. I only get 90 Mbps download speed at the third access point, which is on the opposite side of the house of the router. Is it normal to have speeds reduced that significant at the third node with these older mesh router systems? Would a tri band Wi-Fi 6 mesh router likely provide better speeds at the third access point?

I use to use my hot spot off my phones, to stream just SD tv and it works fine, but my son liked to play games on the internet so his sister brought over the T-Mobile home Internet and I just pay the bill. Well come may 8 they are gonna geo lock the gateways to the address you singed up with and wont work if you go stray to far away. But for just 160$ you cant take it wherever you want🤣🤣🤣🤣 They can have the gateway back and I will just go back to hotspot, its included in my old sprint plan. 60 gigs if high speed 3g speeds after that. 360 or 480 p video. My son is gonna be mad

You can have the address your updated to that address as the usage place different from the billing address🎉 and you will be ok

I feel they are pushing new WiFis too soon. WiFi 6E should never have existed in the first place, and waited for WiFi 7.. Please stop pushing these "small" changes to fast, and make more significant changes before releasing it. that would nice!
