WEBVTT

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.480
my unlimited budget Wi-Fi setup has some

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:09.360
problems the only one I've talked about so far is the weird interference on the

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:13.400
wireless speakers in the family room but I'm also getting disconnections on Apple

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:18.199
devices when I'm moving around my house and my phone takes forever to connect to

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:22.199
the outdoor access points when I pull into my driveway which wouldn't be a

00:00:20.119 --> 00:00:26.240
huge problem except that I have no cell service in my neighborhood so I can't

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

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

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:39.480
head you know Wi-Fi 6 Wi-Fi 6 Wi-Fi 6 it

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:45.800
almost sounds like Jake I knew it I knew it okay but hear

00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:50.120
me out ubiquity Wi-Fi 60 gear might not be technically enabled in Canada yet but

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:54.280
there's a hacky workaround and the speeds are absolutely ridiculous I've

00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.760
had issues with ubiquity Wi-Fi gear in the past though which is why I went

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.800
Ruckus in the first place but I will give them one more chance I mean given

00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:06.400
that it works great everywhere else in my life including at the office it

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:10.640
should be fine and if it's not Jake has promised me that he will personally

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.720
reinstall all of my existing Ruckus access

00:01:11.479 --> 00:01:18.640

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

00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:41.640
that I've run into so far Ruckus Unleashed might not be as featur as

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:46.159
their dedicated or their Cloud controllers but it does have most of the

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

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:54.520
besides they won't upgrade my Wi-Fi 6

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:56.360
access points to Wi-Fi 6E anyway which

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

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:05.520
these access points are just so Overkill I was looking and Unleashed and my phone

00:02:02.759 --> 00:02:09.720
and laptop were grabbing the AP upstairs and we're there's one right there what

00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:14.120
what's going on literally right above us I even turned the power down to minimum

00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:17.080
as a troubleshooting step recently and it was still happening well it's still

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

00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:24.599
we got here I actually haven't seen any of this Jake surprised me actually

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:27.959
everyone surprised me I didn't even know we were doing this video I was at

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:33.800
Disneyland well for inside Wi-Fi 60 this is the UniFi 6

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:39.959
Enterprise each one of these APS can handle I think it's 600 plus clients

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.319
something like 10 gigabit of throughput theoretically this is the sorry 10

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

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.920
five of these for the inside one for the garage that's six because we learned

00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:57.560
absolutely nothing about how having two many access points can actually be

00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:01.080
problematic I just turn it off the Wi-Fi 6E could actually help us with that

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

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

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

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

00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:22.680
anyways you know 6 gz is not really ideal nor needed you just need to open

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:24.239
your garage right yeah we're probably

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

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

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

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

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.480
put this in a bucket of water before we go any further we should probably

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:48.959
explain why WI-Fi 60 is so important this is not just a little speed bump

00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:54.680
it's more about the fact that we're getting access to an enormous

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:57.200
uninterrupted 1200 mahz of spectrum that

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

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:07.799
range and it's a whopping what is it like seven 1200 MHz 7 160 wide

00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:11.200
channels the problem with 5 GHz Wi-Fi there's all those like little sections

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

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

00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:21.919
plus since this spectrum is completely empty with none of my neighbors

00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:26.639
realistically using it I could have every single one of my APS on a

00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:28.400
completely separate 160 MHz wide band so

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:33.120
they don't interfere with each other at all plus because it's higher in the

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:38.720
frequency range it's faster and when I say faster you can do 1 and2 gigabit

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

00:04:40.440 --> 00:04:48.880
wearing gloves so I don't get like shmear on the ceiling know finger goo

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:50.840
ceiling paint is very not glossy and it

00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:55.440
is really hard to clean unfortunately the mounting holes are not the same I

00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:59.400
maybe they are do those look the same e and e oh my God they are

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

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

00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:13.639
process seven more times two of which are outdoors and it's raining I can

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:19.039
shoot from inside oh these drywall anchors are crap

00:05:16.840 --> 00:05:24.759
they like painted over them so they're stuck in oh most dry ball anchors when

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

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.319
it in place and prevent that from happening I think what happened is they

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

00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:42.080
just screw right out like we're saying easy I will say the Ruckus ones

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

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

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

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

00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:06.039
this AP is going to suck to change can I

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

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

00:06:13.479 --> 00:06:18.319
job lonus keep it up and die

00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:24.400
helped oh yeah woo for those wondering

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:28.280
this is not an ideal place to position an access point usually you want them in

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

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

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

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

00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:53.120
they're deck screws fortunately everyone

00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:56.919
chirps the LTT screwdriver for this it has

00:06:54.039 --> 00:07:01.240
Robson so I can actually take these out it's quite the size difference eh

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

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

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

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

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:24.840
that I'm just not signed up for Early Access access yeah basically what Jake's

00:07:21.919 --> 00:07:30.879
trying to do is he's trying to enable access to Beta firmwares for devices

00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:32.360
because those Early Access outdoor APS

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

00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:42.680
have the console mine does maybe it's just the difference between the iOS and

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

00:07:46.280 --> 00:07:53.039
to say like it should say release candidate and then Early Access and

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

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

00:08:00.280 --> 00:08:07.680
recognizes the change okay all eight of our access points are hung up now so the

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

00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:17.840
a separate band I guess you could technically have one that is 2.45 and 6

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:20.479
all with the same name but then you're not really going to know which network

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

00:08:24.840 --> 00:08:30.400
7 8 and then go to manual turn off 2.4

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

00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:39.240
the new security protocol for Wi-Fi 6C it's very similar to WPA2 but with

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.519
stronger encryption so that's the best option just add our Wi-Fi network boom

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:14.640
some weird certification stuff that's going on with Wi-Fi 6C despite it being

00:09:12.839 --> 00:09:19.560
approved just like the states so to get around it we go into our UniFi control

00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:23.720
center here and change our country from Canada to the United States probably not

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

00:09:24.880 --> 00:09:30.200
try the speakers this isn't going to be a definitive test because the problem

00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:37.029
that he was having is kind of inter anyways

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:43.399
but oh yeah never mind it's still screw we probably need to go tweak the

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

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

00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:56.880
business uh speed test okay let's go

00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:01.480
stand under this AP 300 down is not bad not incredible either to be honest I

00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:07.720
think the peak we saw there was 850 megabit upload that's pretty fast 326

00:10:05.959 --> 00:10:11.040
780 I didn't tweak anything everything's set to automatic okay let's walk around

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:15.240
with my phone really quick before I would walk between one room and it would

00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.880
completely disconnect and I it's not like it would you know be disconnected

00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:22.320
for a little bit it would stay disconnected until I manually went in

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

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

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

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

00:10:36.839 --> 00:10:42.360
good thing we have WPA 3 okay go that's

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

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

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

00:10:53.000 --> 00:11:00.480
do you mean great that's not great Jake you done you goofed dog no

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

00:11:01.560 --> 00:11:07.959
disconnect anymore okay well that's an improvement so Jake you basically

00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:11.160
downgraded L's Network just so your iPhone wouldn't disconnect when you

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

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

00:11:16.920 --> 00:11:24.920
issues one is that we didn't have flow control enabled on the switch uh that

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

00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:33.560
old PoE switch was is gigabit which is

00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:38.959
actually a bottleneck even for a single client so we've actually swapped out the

00:11:35.959 --> 00:11:42.600
switch to their new Enterprise 48 Port

00:11:38.959 --> 00:11:45.760
that has 48 ports of 2 1/2 gig and then

00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:48.200
four 10 GB SFP pluses it should then be

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

00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:56.920
I'll also have to get a little closer to an access point

00:11:56.920 --> 00:12:03.360
700 let's Let It Rip

00:11:59.959 --> 00:12:06.320
900 wa more than gigabit up there she

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

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

00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:20.240
to actually take advantage of 6 GHz Wi-Fi the issue with that is that iOS

00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:24.800
devices and modern Android phones no longer allow you to set an order of

00:12:22.760 --> 00:12:28.800
priority for your wireless networks there are third party apps that do it

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

00:12:31.079 --> 00:12:39.399
just grabs my 5 GHz Wi-Fi network literally all the time then what I tried

00:12:35.959 --> 00:12:44.040
next was to just enable 6 GHz on my 5

00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:47.240
GHz Network and it's 6 not 6E it's right

00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:50.160
there how much closer can I be but as

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

00:12:53.240 --> 00:13:00.720
action lead and we did it oh wait did I did I

00:12:56.680 --> 00:13:00.720
hit the sensor darn it

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

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:17.639
ubiquity you know really good I believe him because it's really great everywhere

00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:20.079
else in my entire life it's cursed in my house
