1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,480
my unlimited budget Wi-Fi setup has some

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:09,360
problems the only one I've talked about so far is the weird interference on the

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:13,400
wireless speakers in the family room but I'm also getting disconnections on Apple

4
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:18,199
devices when I'm moving around my house and my phone takes forever to connect to

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,199
the outdoor access points when I pull into my driveway which wouldn't be a

6
00:00:20,119 --> 00:00:26,240
huge problem except that I have no cell service in my neighborhood so I can't

7
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:31,240
open my garage I mean don't get me wrong when it works the speeds are really

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:37,600
solid but in spite of that it's like there's this voice in the back of my

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:39,480
head you know Wi-Fi 6 Wi-Fi 6 Wi-Fi 6 it

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:45,800
almost sounds like Jake I knew it I knew it okay but hear

11
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:50,120
me out ubiquity Wi-Fi 60 gear might not be technically enabled in Canada yet but

12
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:54,280
there's a hacky workaround and the speeds are absolutely ridiculous I've

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,760
had issues with ubiquity Wi-Fi gear in the past though which is why I went

14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,800
Ruckus in the first place but I will give them one more chance I mean given

15
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:06,400
that it works great everywhere else in my life including at the office it

16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:10,640
should be fine and if it's not Jake has promised me that he will personally

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,720
reinstall all of my existing Ruckus access

18
00:01:11,479 --> 00:01:18,640
points just like I'm going to install this segue to our

your first 4 months today there's probably a way to fix some of the issues

24
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,640
that I've run into so far Ruckus Unleashed might not be as featur as

25
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:46,159
their dedicated or their Cloud controllers but it does have most of the

26
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:51,439
basics it's just that the basics haven't helped me fix my issues so far and

27
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,520
besides they won't upgrade my Wi-Fi 6

28
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:56,360
access points to Wi-Fi 6E anyway which

29
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:01,119
is a lot of the point of what we're doing I wonder if part of the problem is

30
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:05,520
these access points are just so Overkill I was looking and Unleashed and my phone

31
00:02:02,759 --> 00:02:09,720
and laptop were grabbing the AP upstairs and we're there's one right there what

32
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,120
what's going on literally right above us I even turned the power down to minimum

33
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:17,080
as a troubleshooting step recently and it was still happening well it's still

34
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:20,640
happening right now because it's turned down right now let's have a look at what

35
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,599
we got here I actually haven't seen any of this Jake surprised me actually

36
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:27,959
everyone surprised me I didn't even know we were doing this video I was at

37
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:33,800
Disneyland well for inside Wi-Fi 60 this is the UniFi 6

38
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:39,959
Enterprise each one of these APS can handle I think it's 600 plus clients

39
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:43,319
something like 10 gigabit of throughput theoretically this is the sorry 10

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,720
gigabit of throughput well like connectivity between all the clients good gravy we've got a total of then

41
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:53,920
five of these for the inside one for the garage that's six because we learned

42
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:57,560
absolutely nothing about how having two many access points can actually be

43
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,080
problematic I just turn it off the Wi-Fi 6E could actually help us with that

44
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:05,680
we'll talk a little bit more about that later and then I have two outside which

45
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:09,400
doesn't explain why you have four well I wasn't really sure what would be the

46
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:12,360
best option these ones kind of look nice you see it's just like a little tube and

47
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:17,560
you can just mount it under the S these ones aren't y560 but since it's outdoors

48
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:22,680
anyways you know 6 gz is not really ideal nor needed you just need to open

49
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:24,239
your garage right yeah we're probably

50
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:29,360
going to go with the long range plus because it's really long range it's got

51
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,920
a very powerful 2.4 gig antenna I didn't even ask we can show this one cuz it's

52
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:37,080
technically EA but I'm sure it's fine haha got them these are Wi-Fi 6 on both

53
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:40,799
2.4 and 5 the cool thing about these ones is they're sealed like you could

54
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,480
put this in a bucket of water before we go any further we should probably

55
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:48,959
explain why WI-Fi 60 is so important this is not just a little speed bump

56
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:54,680
it's more about the fact that we're getting access to an enormous

57
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:57,200
uninterrupted 1200 mahz of spectrum that

58
00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:01,439
up until now hasn't been used for any Wi-Fi Communications it's in the 6 GHz

59
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:07,799
range and it's a whopping what is it like seven 1200 MHz 7 160 wide

60
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:11,200
channels the problem with 5 GHz Wi-Fi there's all those like little sections

61
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,680
that are blocked off so you can't have big channels and then there's like the

62
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:18,880
radar thing it's and the width of the channel is what gives you the speed yeah

63
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:21,919
plus since this spectrum is completely empty with none of my neighbors

64
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:26,639
realistically using it I could have every single one of my APS on a

65
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,400
completely separate 160 MHz wide band so

66
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:33,120
they don't interfere with each other at all plus because it's higher in the

67
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:38,720
frequency range it's faster and when I say faster you can do 1 and2 gigabit

68
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:42,560
both ways to a single client if it's supported if you're wondering why I'm

69
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:48,880
wearing gloves so I don't get like shmear on the ceiling know finger goo

70
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,840
ceiling paint is very not glossy and it

71
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:55,440
is really hard to clean unfortunately the mounting holes are not the same I

72
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:59,400
maybe they are do those look the same e and e oh my God they are

73
00:05:00,039 --> 00:05:04,720
all right there we go now we just need to adopt the AP it popped up here

74
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:10,800
already it's going to have to update and then we should start receiving Wi-Fi from it now we just have to repeat this

75
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:13,639
process seven more times two of which are outdoors and it's raining I can

76
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:19,039
shoot from inside oh these drywall anchors are crap

77
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:24,759
they like painted over them so they're stuck in oh most dry ball anchors when

78
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,120
you run the screw into the anchor kind of like break apart in the back to hold

79
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,319
it in place and prevent that from happening I think what happened is they

80
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:36,199
use screws that are too short so it's not broken open in the back and it can

81
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:42,080
just screw right out like we're saying easy I will say the Ruckus ones

82
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:45,280
huge pain in the ass I mean just look at it you have two little key holes that

83
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,600
you have to get the keys perfectly lined up on for both and then it slides on but

84
00:05:47,479 --> 00:05:53,080
when you can't see you're trying to get the stupid screws to line up it's kind

85
00:05:52,039 --> 00:05:58,240
of a pain in the ass you can even see all the scratches from when we tried to mount these things

86
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:06,039
this AP is going to suck to change can I

87
00:06:03,479 --> 00:06:10,759
help you boys this is terribly awkward why it's really not heavy at all oh my

88
00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:18,319
gosh there's a dead spider ew it's not dead go away you're doing such a great

89
00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:18,319
job lonus keep it up and die

90
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:24,400
helped oh yeah woo for those wondering

91
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:28,280
this is not an ideal place to position an access point usually you want them in

92
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,000
the center of the ceiling of the space that you're trying to fill or the center

93
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:35,520
of the wall if the ceiling is not available this particular wire was supposed to poke through in the wall but

94
00:06:34,039 --> 00:06:40,680
I guess they didn't read the plans right and put it in the ceiling instead so um

95
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:50,800
yeah it it lives in the corner of the wall now come on oh oh hey nice damn it

96
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,120
they're deck screws fortunately everyone

97
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,919
chirps the LTT screwdriver for this it has

98
00:06:54,039 --> 00:07:01,240
Robson so I can actually take these out it's quite the size difference eh

99
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:06,319
I like this it's got a little bit different design for where the cable plugs in usually they plug in here and

100
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,840
it's really hard to get it in but they did it at an angle with a little bit

101
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:14,639
bigger hole so it's much easier to plug in I got it I don't actually it's not

102
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:18,280
even showing up in here what is wrong with your app I don't know it's possible

103
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:24,840
that I'm just not signed up for Early Access access yeah basically what Jake's

104
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:30,879
trying to do is he's trying to enable access to Beta firmwares for devices

105
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:32,360
because those Early Access outdoor APS

106
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:39,520
you can't just run production firmware on them obviously because they're not even production devices but we don't

107
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:42,680
have the console mine does maybe it's just the difference between the iOS and

108
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:48,360
Android app I think we still need to do it on a computer really yeah I need this

109
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:53,039
to say like it should say release candidate and then Early Access and

110
00:07:50,479 --> 00:07:57,800
Early Access is what we want but it is not working in the meantime I think I'm

111
00:07:56,159 --> 00:08:02,879
just going to mount the AP and he can adopt it in a few hours when this

112
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:07,680
recognizes the change okay all eight of our access points are hung up now so the

113
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:12,280
first thing we need to do is create a Wi-Fi network for Wi-Fi 6E because it's

114
00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:17,840
a separate band I guess you could technically have one that is 2.45 and 6

115
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,479
all with the same name but then you're not really going to know which network

116
00:08:18,919 --> 00:08:27,960
you're connected to we're going to name it Wi-Fi 6E for now password 1 2 3 4 5 6

117
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,400
7 8 and then go to manual turn off 2.4

118
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:34,760
gig and 5 and just select 6 GHz this is going to require us to use wpa3 which is

119
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:39,240
the new security protocol for Wi-Fi 6C it's very similar to WPA2 but with

120
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:43,519
stronger encryption so that's the best option just add our Wi-Fi network boom

121
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:49,560
we'll give that a few seconds and we should be able to see it on this laptop here which is Wi-Fi 6 enabled it does

122
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,160
support 160 MHz wide channels but only in a 2X two stream we might not be able

123
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:57,279
to get above gigabit on this one but we should be able to get really good speeds

124
00:08:54,839 --> 00:09:00,120
and we can connect to the 5 GHz Network to compare the two and see the speed

125
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:05,880
difference cuz it should still be substantial I went to just double check to make sure that the Wi-Fi 60 is

126
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:10,399
working and it says the 6 GHz radio is disabled because we're in Canada there's

127
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:14,640
some weird certification stuff that's going on with Wi-Fi 6C despite it being

128
00:09:12,839 --> 00:09:19,560
approved just like the states so to get around it we go into our UniFi control

129
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:23,720
center here and change our country from Canada to the United States probably not

130
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,680
super legal but we're doing it anyways now that we've switched over I want to

131
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:30,200
try the speakers this isn't going to be a definitive test because the problem

132
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:37,029
that he was having is kind of inter anyways

133
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:43,399
but oh yeah never mind it's still screw we probably need to go tweak the

134
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:47,000
channels and maybe shut 5 GHz off on the AP that's right above here but I wasn't

135
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:54,000
super confident this was going to fix this problem anyways ah look at that there's our Wi-Fi 6C Network we're in

136
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,880
business uh speed test okay let's go

137
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:01,480
stand under this AP 300 down is not bad not incredible either to be honest I

138
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:07,720
think the peak we saw there was 850 megabit upload that's pretty fast 326

139
00:10:05,959 --> 00:10:11,040
780 I didn't tweak anything everything's set to automatic okay let's walk around

140
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:15,240
with my phone really quick before I would walk between one room and it would

141
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,880
completely disconnect and I it's not like it would you know be disconnected

142
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,320
for a little bit it would stay disconnected until I manually went in

143
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,200
and reconnected to the network I want to see it on mine too cuz I know about how

144
00:10:23,839 --> 00:10:29,760
fast it should be on mine this is a fold three right so you should have 6E do you

145
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:33,279
see a Wi-Fi network called Wi-Fi 6E you really called it Wi-Fi 6 just for now

146
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:40,600
like there it is sick it's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 oh it's a

147
00:10:36,839 --> 00:10:42,360
good thing we have WPA 3 okay go that's

148
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:46,399
only 300 just wait till it goes to the upload well why is down slow I'm not

149
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:51,360
100% sure even on 5 gig it's kind of slow why am I cursed I was getting like

150
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:55,040
600 plus before you just downgraded my Wi-Fi no no no it's great trust me what

151
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:00,480
do you mean great that's not great Jake you done you goofed dog no

152
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:03,920
it's fast you goofed oh it's great look when I walk around your house it doesn't

153
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:07,959
disconnect anymore okay well that's an improvement so Jake you basically

154
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:11,160
downgraded L's Network just so your iPhone wouldn't disconnect when you

155
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:15,040
walked around the house so this wasn't about me at all then was it you know

156
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:19,720
what it was about well it looks like we found the problem there were a couple of

157
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:24,920
issues one is that we didn't have flow control enabled on the switch uh that

158
00:11:21,959 --> 00:11:30,800
got us to 800 900 megabit a second with the old switch but here's the thing my

159
00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:33,560
old PoE switch was is gigabit which is

160
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:38,959
actually a bottleneck even for a single client so we've actually swapped out the

161
00:11:35,959 --> 00:11:42,600
switch to their new Enterprise 48 Port

162
00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:45,760
that has 48 ports of 2 1/2 gig and then

163
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,200
four 10 GB SFP pluses it should then be

164
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:53,079
ripping fast all I got to do is set up a network that uses 6 GHz and I'll maybe

165
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,920
I'll also have to get a little closer to an access point

166
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:03,360
700 let's Let It Rip

167
00:11:59,959 --> 00:12:06,320
900 wa more than gigabit up there she

168
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:10,839
goes Jake has these same APS at home has actually seen speeds in excess of 1.5

169
00:12:08,839 --> 00:12:14,959
gbit as cool as all this is though so far I'm finding it a bit of a challenge

170
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:20,240
to actually take advantage of 6 GHz Wi-Fi the issue with that is that iOS

171
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:24,800
devices and modern Android phones no longer allow you to set an order of

172
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:28,800
priority for your wireless networks there are third party apps that do it

173
00:12:26,199 --> 00:12:33,760
but not natively as far as I'm aware so ridicul ully what my phone does is it

174
00:12:31,079 --> 00:12:39,399
just grabs my 5 GHz Wi-Fi network literally all the time then what I tried

175
00:12:35,959 --> 00:12:44,040
next was to just enable 6 GHz on my 5

176
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:47,240
GHz Network and it's 6 not 6E it's right

177
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:50,160
there how much closer can I be but as

178
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:54,240
I'm driving up the street to my house can I connect and operate my garage door

179
00:12:53,240 --> 00:13:00,720
action lead and we did it oh wait did I did I

180
00:12:56,680 --> 00:13:00,720
hit the sensor darn it

181
00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:14,240
so this wasn't about me at all then was it bye he always assures me oh no

182
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,639
ubiquity you know really good I believe him because it's really great everywhere

183
00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:20,079
else in my entire life it's cursed in my house
