00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:08,080
the days of picking up the receiver and hearing the Banshee scream of

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,760
56k followed immediately by the four

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,639
laoren whales of whoever was in the middle of an hours long anime music

00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:21,960
video download are over and the latest Wireless standards are better than ever

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:27,080
claiming to be as fast as running a

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:30,560
physical wire but is Wireless ad any

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:33,760
good I mean AD can you believe this have

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,680
you heard about this ads in our Wi-Fi

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:41,640
how dare they I mean well okay hold on a second they do pay the bills around here

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:44,039
so tell you what why don't you watch an

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:50,489
ad and see if it's that bad before you make up your

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:00,960
mind cooler Master's 25th anniversary

13
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,519
edition Cosmos 2 features a unique dual

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:08,680
curved tempered glass side panel check it out now at the link

15
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:16,640
below let's start this by saying that 802.11 ad is not just a new revision of

16
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,720
an existing standard like AC Wave 2 was

17
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:25,560
you can learn more about that one here it's actually something new entirely you

18
00:01:22,119 --> 00:01:30,560
see Wi-Fi to date has traditionally used

19
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:33,399
two major frequencies 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz

20
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:42,119
what Wireless ad brings to the table is a new frequency 60 GHz and along with it

21
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:44,759
speeds of up to 4.6 gabit per second and

22
00:01:42,119 --> 00:01:52,439
you might even see advertised speeds of up to 7.2 gbit per second although that

23
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,240
isn't a new trick from Big Wi-Fi and if

24
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:58,880
you read the fine print you'll see they're just combining the ad speeds

25
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:04,439
with the other two frequencies well gee that sounds great lus but isn't 5 GHz

26
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:12,879
already pretty difficult to use through walls wouldn't 60 GHz be even worse yes

27
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,760
yes it would the higher the frequency of

28
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:22,519
the radio wave the harder it is for it to penetrate a non-conductive solid like

29
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:27,440
a wall or a person so at a wavelength of

30
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:30,440
only 0.5 CM 60 GHz is likely to be

31
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:33,680
absorbed or reflected by basically

32
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,920
anything even very small obstacles but

33
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,040
enough High School science it's summer and you've got better things to do right

34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,159
like watching us give you these juicy performance numbers from the Netgear

35
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:50,120
r9000 Nighthawk X10 and tplink Talon

36
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:52,239
ad7200 so we fired up I perf using a

37
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:58,200
script we wrote In order to launch four simultaneous instances and record the

38
00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:01,519
output into easily digestible CSV files

39
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:06,599
testing both routers and our test laptop

40
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:08,480
with 2.4 5 and 60 GHz it should be noted

41
00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:16,120
that because this is an investigation into 802.11 ad performance and not uh a

42
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:19,480
router Roundup we are focusing on single

43
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,159
client performance starting with 2.4 GHz

44
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:25,799
we can see that we're really struggling to maintain a stable speed each of the

45
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:31,760
four ier streams is competing with each other for bandwidth 5 GHz on the other

46
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,080
hand was nice nice and clean about what

47
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:42,640
you'd expect from a wired connection albeit a slower one 60

48
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:45,000
GHz screaming fast as advertised but we

49
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:50,519
did note quite a bit of variation between our streams and our Netgear test

50
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:56,040
chart here perfectly demonstrates something that wasn't advertised that we

51
00:03:53,319 --> 00:04:00,879
will get to momentarily comparing the averages both of our routers were more

52
00:03:58,519 --> 00:04:06,360
or less on par with each each other in every spectrum and moving on to our file

53
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:14,079
copy tests we found more predictable results 802.11 ad gives a significant

54
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:18,359
realworld boost in speed over the 5 GHz

55
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:21,440
and 2.4 GHz BS similar in fact two wired

56
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:24,520
speeds cool but where we depart from The

57
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:28,080
Wire is in Signal Integrity as part of

58
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:31,240
our testing we tried to see how far we

59
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:35,240
could go before are losing out on our

60
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:38,560
big speed upgrade and for this we had to

61
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,080
venture into the dreaded Realm of the

62
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:45,880
outside world so then to test range we set up

63
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:52,000
our Netgear Nighthawk on our brand new picnic table fired up I perf and started

64
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:56,120
walking after an arduous

65
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,560
63.5 ft Trek the 60 GHz signal dropped

66
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:02,039
altogether rip signal 5 GHz and 2.4 G

67
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:07,520
GHz were still going strong with Connection rates of 866 and 300 megabit

68
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:13,160
per second respectively the TP-Link Talon same deal picnic table I perf

69
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:17,600
walking and just before we keeled over from exhaustion at 90 ft well we didn't

70
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:23,919
drop the signal but we might as well have because performance wasn't much

71
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:26,680
better on 60 GHz than it was on 2.4 but

72
00:05:23,919 --> 00:05:31,919
I mean that's not too bad my house is less than 60 ft across one small problem

73
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:37,680
though it has stuff in it so let's simulate then stuff in the way we used

74
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:44,880
the Netgear router box as our first obstruction before we add it wait what

75
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:49,360
are you serious the Box caused the 60

76
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:52,520
GHz signal to drop out all it has in it

77
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:55,880
is cardboard and paper as for the TP

78
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:58,199
Link oh okay here we get a better result

79
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:03,000
latency increased a little bit but otherwise it was still still connected

80
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:08,720
okay then how about a computer monitor again the net gear dropped out and the

81
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:11,120
TP-Link kept on trucking okay how about

82
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:17,319
just turning your back to the router okay here we go this is where both

83
00:06:13,599 --> 00:06:20,639
routers failed this much sexy human body

84
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:23,560
is just too much for our poor 60 GHz

85
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:28,520
signal so then TPL link wins thanks to its array of eight freaking antennas

86
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:33,479
right wrong let's take the fight back indoors in my office netgear's

87
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:38,280
obstruction avoidance strategy of bouncing Wi-Fi signals around allowed it

88
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:44,560
to go from struggling to penetrate a folded up tablecloth to delivering solid

89
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:48,120
performance to a client directly behind

90
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:51,199
my monitor so ad Wireless then there are

91
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,000
some obvious early adopter hassles like

92
00:06:51,199 --> 00:07:00,080
limited availability of compatible clients and high costs and piling on top

93
00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:04,759
of that there are some less obvious hassles like probably needing to run a

94
00:07:02,599 --> 00:07:09,280
cable to the middle of your ceiling to get your access point line of sight to

95
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:15,000
everyone in the room but in certain applications we definitely see the

96
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:21,160
potential here and I am pretty stoked to see like home Mesh networking Solutions

97
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:28,080
based on this Tech as an alternative finally to this kind of nonsense but as

98
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:34,039
for whether you're ready for a wireless ad router to today well I think it's

99
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:36,599
safe to say that that's still up in the

100
00:07:34,039 --> 00:07:41,240
air there's never been a better time to join Dollar Shave Club for a limited
