WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.080 the google on hub router on their product page some of the first text you 00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:10.719 run into is that the onhub gives you fast wi-fi good uh 00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:15.679 good to know it also states that the onhub speaks human that it's helpful 00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:19.039 feedback and simple setup will be easy to use we will check these things out 00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.119 and we'll test its performance to see if it's worth a damn so stay tuned to find 00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:27.039 out and hit that like button below if you want to see me investigate the 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:36.640 diminishing returns of adding more fans to your rig 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:43.040 mass drop is launching three new communities for rc cars photography and 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:47.760 corvette enthusiasts check them out in the links in the description and 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.600 subscribe so you don't miss any updates 00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:55.680 this router is a collaboration between google and TP-Link but why you might ask 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:59.280 that's a very valid question it seems like the combined attack is designed to 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:03.840 conquer the frustration of people who don't want to or don't know how to go 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:08.799 through the advanced process of setting up your network and the onhub also seems 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:13.439 to be designed specifically for a wi-fi signal crowded apartment which can kind 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:17.680 of be a war zone for certain routers and can cause a huge amount of signal 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:23.280 reception issues in terms of specs this two-pound 7.5 inches tall 4.6 inch 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:29.200 diameter flower pot esque router is packing a dual core 1.4 gigahertz 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:33.119 processor four gigs of e mmc flash one 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:35.600 gig of ddr3l memory one usb 3.0 port a 00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:43.600 three watt speaker ambient light sensor six tri-color led arrays bluetooth 4.0 00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:46.320 802.15.4 conformance gigabit wan 00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:52.000 broadcasted by six 2.4 gigahertz antennas and six 5.0 gigahertz antennas 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:56.960 and finally a single lonely gigabit lan port with one more thing let's not 00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:02.799 forget the last single 2.4 gigahertz antenna which we'll talk about later so 00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:05.520 yeah i hear you a standard 1900 megabit 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:10.720 per second ac wi-fi router with one gigabit lan out connection for 200 bucks 00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:14.640 it needs to prove itself and we'll get to that in a moment but first there are 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:19.200 a few oddities in that spec list that we should explore now that single 2.4 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:23.120 gigahertz antenna that's kind of off by itself is actually just a dedicated 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.800 antenna for finding the most appropriate channel to broadcast on which is 00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:30.000 actually pretty cool it will search every about five minutes i believe and 00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:33.440 it won't switch channels unless you're not really using the internet so that 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:37.760 can be kind of handy so that it can be the most efficient for you when you get 00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:40.959 home but the bluetooth radio the usb 3.0 port and all that compliance gear is all 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.040 kind of off at the moment of filming and the 00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:48.640 certain speakers like the three watt speaker are kind of not properly 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.800 utilized in my opinion then there's the ambient light sensor like what do you do 00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:56.800 anyways this will all be working for google on in the form of a brillo 00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:00.879 enabled device using the common language protocol called weave but as far as i 00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:04.720 know there isn't anything out that can communicate with the google on hub in 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.959 this way yet you're paying for all that 00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:13.120 compatibility now the value of this part of the onhub is currently just a giant 00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:17.040 question mark so this is the onhub in the box you'll 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.239 get a kind of power brick thing that's plugged into the wall already two 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:24.560 Ethernet cables that'll come wrapped up like this they're flat which is pretty 00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:29.599 nice but they're not all that long neither is the wall power plug thing um 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.799 it's kind of interesting because in a lot of their product stuff they show it 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:37.040 on shelves like bookshelves and whatnot and that 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:41.519 might be fairly difficult for some people to get power and Ethernet too so 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:45.040 i don't know about that but if you can make it work then it does actually look 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:49.120 pretty good we have the blue one there's a black one as well on the bottom of the 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.560 onhub you'll see kind of a half circle symbol right below where it says onhub 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:56.640 that will line up with another half circle at the bottom to take the outer 00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:00.640 shell off all you have to do is turn it so that it lines up with the dot and 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.959 then you can lift it off i already have it plugged into Ethernet and power and 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:08.480 you can see at the top there's a blue ring there's a piece of paper somewhere 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:13.519 that i don't remember where it is right now but it basically says a solid blue 00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:16.639 ring means that you're good to go a teal ring means that it's ready to be set up 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:20.320 and an amber ring means that there's a problem and no light means well it's not 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.639 receiving power which is fairly self-explanatory i've already downloaded 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:27.520 the app so let's get going so in the app now it is actually very simple but 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:32.000 there's a few cool things like this is how it uses the three watt speaker first 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:36.479 off it finds the on hub but then it communicates a secret code through audio 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.720 it's kind of interesting you'll see in a sec 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:47.520 all right so now we got the code it's going to connect to the onhub 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:51.600 just setting up the wireless name please don't use a password that bad for 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:54.240 anything ever 00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:01.280 and that's it now we're in the app it's pretty straightforward in wi-fi access 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:05.040 you can reveal your password and even actually share your password using this 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:08.800 button through social media or email or whatever i don't really recommend using 00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:14.080 this password and i don't really recommend using that because having a full copy of your 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:19.440 password on the cloud somewhere is probably not the 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:22.720 most secure way to do things now i'm gonna have to change this a little bit 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:26.080 because as it is complaining i have another router on this network and i'm 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:31.280 not bringing that one down so i'm going to turn this into bridge mode and then we're going to test it against the 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:36.000 ruckus r710 this is not going to be a very fair test this router is like over 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:40.960 twelve hundred dollars and this one is two hundred dollars but we can see kind 00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:44.320 of how good it is in general and have a kind of 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:47.440 best possible scenario comparison against it 00:05:45.520 --> 00:05:51.520 okay so now we're actually testing the ruckus and the on hub what i'm going to 00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:55.759 use for testing them is the wi-fi adapter that runs off of the x99 deluxe 00:05:53.919 --> 00:06:00.479 board that we have the reason for that is this is actually the only thing that 00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:03.520 can receive three by three memo wi-fi connections that we have so i have to 00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:08.000 haul this thing around it's gonna be super annoying don't worry about it i've 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.880 already tested the on hub and the onhub is currently unplugged we're going to be 00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:14.880 testing in a whole bunch of different scenarios we're testing in here just 00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:18.560 kind of across the table retesting through the wall in the benchmarking 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:23.199 room through the wall and a bunch of random metal stuff and a few other 00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:25.759 things in the library and then also 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:29.360 upstairs in Linus's office then i'm going to do a range test while just like 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:32.720 watching a twitch stream and walking and waiting till it disconnects so this is 00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:36.240 the first test like i said i already have the onhub numbers and we're going 00:06:34.479 --> 00:06:39.520 to do a file transfer test not a speedtest.net 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:43.600 because it's more representative we have an SSD array server so file transfer 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:48.639 speeds should be fine so first thing i'm going to do is going to try transferring 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:52.319 the test file from the server to our computer just past one minute and 20 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:56.479 seconds almost done done one minute 24 seconds now i'm going 00:06:54.880 --> 00:07:00.240 to upload from the computer to the server 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:04.880 one minute 51 seconds one minute 28 seconds 0.1 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.960 122.4 two minutes and seven seconds point 00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:14.720 eight so we are connected to turn up wi-fi as you can see turn up wi-fi is our on hub 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:18.960 router now i'm just gonna jump over here we are watching a twitch tv show this is 00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:24.720 faceit tv and we're just going to kind of walk out of the office and see how 00:07:21.919 --> 00:07:30.360 far we can go until it disconnects still totally working i'm going to go towards 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.360 this construction site 00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:37.360 it's buffering but i'm not entirely sure if that's the router's problem 00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:41.599 yes i have lost my rotor signal it's got some pretty 00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:45.280 hardcore stuff to contend with but i'm wondering the ruckus might win this one 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:52.319 all right so now we're gonna do the range walking test just like we did with the on hub but with the ruckus r710 00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:57.120 going out the door still working 00:07:54.639 --> 00:08:00.160 still connected to wi-fi oh 00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:05.199 nope i'm off wi-fi now so i've lost wi-fi so our very unscientific range 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:10.000 test has shown that the ruckus r710 made it to here 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:11.039 and the onhub made it 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:18.000 three four five six 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:20.720 seven random luke side steps further 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:26.479 whatever that means and we're back and 00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:31.759 that was not expected i when pitching a 00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:33.519 200 rotor against a 1200 ap in an ap 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:37.599 style test you'd expect the 1200 ap to just 00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:42.080 completely run away with everything and that's not actually what happened the 00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:44.800 onhub won in most scenarios granted not 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:48.800 by a lot but it did and in some scenarios it was a fairly significant 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:54.800 amount that being said there was the one random test in the editing den where the 00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:56.560 ruckus just totally ran away with it the 00:08:54.800 --> 00:08:59.600 one time but that's not that significant in the 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:05.920 grand scheme of things it didn't represent all the other tests that we ran and then even when we did the 00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:10.959 walking test outside it's still lost and by a pretty significant amount that 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:16.000 being said it was still running quite fast and ruckus's strength is focused 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:20.839 around a massive amount of users which i can't really represent here all that 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:26.399 well i'm not a school i can't have like 30 different students with phones 00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:29.440 and laptops all running at the same time i actually don't have enough devices for 00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:35.360 that that being said i could get a pretty heavy load but 00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:40.399 it the onhub has a really strong CPU for a router in it for like a random 200 00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:44.320 router so it might be able to kind of keep up with that as well it was 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:50.160 interesting i'm very impressed with the onhub but it comes down to a few 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:55.040 different things you lose a lot of your customizability you can't change a huge 00:09:52.880 --> 00:10:00.240 amount of options on the on hub you can almost change nothing you can set into 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:04.000 bridge mode you can change your password there's not much more than that to be 00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:07.040 completely honest whereas the ruckus you have total control over a huge amount of 00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:11.760 stuff especially if you get the control hub thing um and 00:10:09.680 --> 00:10:15.839 there's always the kind of freaky part about what data exactly is google taking 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:19.279 off of this there's what they tell us they're taking off of it but tinfoil hat 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:24.240 on they could definitely be taking more 00:10:21.839 --> 00:10:28.480 anyways for the value it actually seems really strong it's an extremely 00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:31.360 extremely competent router for 200 with mystery features
