1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,839
did I just mangle this did this box have a huge gash in it before I started good

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:10,960
thing the Box isn't the important part this video is sponsored by TP link and

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:16,680
we're going to be looking at The Deco be1 excuse me I mean The Deco

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:23,039
b63 I've been told it's this not this but who cares it's a whole home Wi-Fi 7

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:26,160
mesh system that promises speeds of over

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:28,840
10 gigabit per second which not that

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:35,000
long ago I would have said TP Link you can take your lies and take your money

8
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:38,640
and get out of here but Wi-Fi 7 is

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,200
freaking amazing to the point where I

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:45,200
actually believe that with this system you could probably push 10 gbit per

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,920
second of networking through it let's talk about that in a moment first let's

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:52,960
take a look at what's included in their three pack of these you get three of

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,320
these little nodes and on the outside we've got a WPS button for quick setup a

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:02,000
USB port so you can attach network storage a power Inlet with including

15
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,880
power brick which you can't take for granted these days folks and this is

16
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:12,560
pretty exciting to me okay yeah I'm supposed to focus on the Wi-Fi here but 2

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:17,479
and 1/2 gig networking across the board every one of these has four 2.5 gig

18
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:21,920
ports so if you had something like a high-powered home NZ or um multiple

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:27,200
people who want to be able to download games at the maximum speed that their

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:30,799
state-of-the-art CPU allows this is going to let them do it and what's cool

21
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:35,680
is that by having having this load out on all of the nodes you're not limited

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,799
in terms of where you can have these multiple fast machines that are

23
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,479
interacting with each other another really cool technology that tplink

24
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:48,479
includes with The Deco 10,000 is the ability to use either wired back haul

25
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:53,040
Wireless back haul or a combination of wired and wireless back haul and when I

26
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,840
say back haul what I'm trying to say is only one of these can be connected

27
00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:01,840
directly to the internet let's say this one that means that any device that's

28
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:06,759
connected via Wi-Fi to this guy say on the second floor is going to have to

29
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:11,520
bounce between this unit to this unit to get to the Internet so that can be done

30
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:15,120
over a wire over Wireless or through a combination depending on what's

31
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,000
convenient for your install if it's only Wi-Fi it can be pretty problematic

32
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,519
although on these I would be a lot less worried about it because they have

33
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:28,720
got though on these I'd be a little less worried about it because they've got

34
00:02:25,959 --> 00:02:32,160
some pretty sick Wi-Fi let's get them plugged in and then I'll show you what I

35
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:37,360
mean or rather let's connect one of our Deco e63s to start while we go through

36
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:41,920
the quick installation guide oh by the way the last thing included is this flat

37
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,200
Ethernet cable indicator LED on the

38
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:48,680
bottom unconventional okay now I get it you can

39
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:53,760
yeah okay you can kind of see it like I was like really guys you can't see the

40
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,680
indicator okay fine I'll allow it the

41
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,840
main benefits of Wi-Fi 7 are that it's faster lower latency and allows more

42
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:03,360
devices to be connected concurrently to and achieves this in a number of ways

43
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:07,959
first of all it uses more sophisticated 4K QAM signaling it uses wider channels

44
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:16,640
up to 320 MHz on the 6 GHz band and oh by the

45
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:19,080
way it uses the new uncongested 6 GHz

46
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:26,159
band which does have some slight drawbacks in terms of range but vastly

47
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,480
outperforms the 5 gz and especially 2.4

48
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:33,640
GHz BS the last thing that's really important and this is supported by the

49
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:35,400
b63 though not all Wi-Fi 7 devices

50
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:41,959
necessarily work with it at least not yet is support for mlo or multi-link

51
00:03:39,239 --> 00:03:48,640
operation this allows it even ignoring the wired connection to use 2.4 5 GHz

52
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:52,760
and 6 GHz at the same time to supported

53
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:54,879
devices for absolutely wild speeds now

54
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,720
as you can see administration of your deco mesh system is done through the

55
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:03,480
Android or iOS app so let's go ahead and get it set up

56
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:09,120
mhm M

57
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,120
MH

58
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:16,680
sure mhm interesting showing up yeah it's

59
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:20,560
just telling me hey do your thing you know and I'm like doing my thing over

60
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:24,919
here and we're all happy connected device yeah let's go connection

61
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:30,600
successful what more could you want everyone wants a successful

62
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,680
connection that was I've got mine stop

63
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:38,680
ion she's not watching this she doesn't need new Wi-Fi and if she did I'd take

64
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:43,280
care of it for her I have my flaws but I I will take care of the Wi-Fi if it's

65
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:49,039
down C SC set here we go done it's detecting

66
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:54,440
my internet connection type I'm going to dial up

67
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,199
yo Ethernet cable is not connected see

68
00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,199
Sven told you Belle he told you it wasn't connected let's try that again

69
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:05,280
shall we if you're unsure we did advanced

70
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:11,479
settings oh that's cool you can just turn ipv on like that it was a bit of a

71
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,880
hassle for um electr booms upgrade we

72
00:05:11,479 --> 00:05:18,240
had to do some K jiggering in order to get it working create your Wi-Fi

73
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:21,520
network this is a really bad password do not use this look it even tells me it's

74
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:28,400
like yo you're an idiot but they said it really politely oo 6 GHz automatic

75
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:32,319
updates oh wait oh I almost skipped it yeah yeah yes automatic updates please

76
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:39,680
unable to try again it's going to do it this no

77
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:43,280
it's going to do it this time it's going to do it this

78
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:48,639
time it's going to do it this time it's going to do it this

79
00:05:46,039 --> 00:05:55,120
time it's going to do it this time it's going to do it this

80
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:58,800
time it's going to do it this time so

81
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:03,400
basically they lied to me by having no

82
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:05,160
internet in these tubes right here hey

83
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,919
My Deco is set up now that I have an internet in my tubes all right all we

84
00:06:07,479 --> 00:06:14,080
got to do is power up these other boys well you know what maybe we'll do that another time yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

85
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:20,280
yeah yeah yeah yeah okay first I want to see what kind of internet speed we can

86
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:23,599
get out of this one okay no no yeah that

87
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:24,960
that was that was just on The Deco okay

88
00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:30,440
okay that freaked me out a little bit I was like wow I mean Wi-Fi 7's really

89
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:33,160
fast but it's not that fast okay

90
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:40,440
cool that means our 2 and 1/2 gig Port is working

91
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:42,599
good now let's test our Wi-Fi speed all

92
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,919
right now it's worth noting that we could be limited by the speed of the

93
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:50,360
servers we connect to here but theoretically if we were able to test

94
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:56,919
over the wire at 2.3 GB per second this should be pretty fast oh

95
00:06:53,840 --> 00:07:00,160
that's not really as fast as I that's a

96
00:06:56,919 --> 00:07:02,840
little faster hello

97
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:07,520
850 megabit per second upload uh okay that really that really

98
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:13,639
wasn't that fast am I missing something here ah I wasn't missing something but

99
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:18,400
maybe our pixel 8 was when we turned on mlo performance increased dramatically

100
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:22,479
and when we switched out to a OnePlus 12 it got even better and it's worth noting

101
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:27,080
that that's here in our office where there's a lot of interference from our

102
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:34,319
regular AP so your results may be even better than our own around 1 GB per

103
00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:37,000
second up and down to a single client

104
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:41,000
and that is only a fraction of its power I mean to get the most out of it you

105
00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:46,280
want to have multiple clients connected to it okay my daily driver phone

106
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:50,759
probably not going to move the needle but hold on let's see okay this is where

107
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:54,720
you're going to get really even more impressed because I bet these results

108
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:58,319
are going to be basically the same even with two phones hitting it at the same

109
00:07:56,639 --> 00:08:02,080
time okay so I'm going to let this one start going I'm going to let it going

110
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:07,199
and then you're going to see that that is not going to be impacted by this one

111
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:15,879
check this out already with just two devices we're

112
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:19,319
sitting at aggregate of what like 1,200

113
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:23,879
megabit per second down and like

114
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:27,759
1,700 up that is freaking

115
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:29,720
crazy no one else seems impressed TP

116
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:34,680
link they're they're impressed they're like good job lonus you demoed the

117
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:38,440
product yep that's what it does actually it does more than that so let's go ahead

118
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,839
and connect a couple more of these units here obviously this is not how I would

119
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:46,959
recommend setting up a mesh Network you want to have these devices close enough

120
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:51,680
that they are able to wirelessly interface with good signal strength to

121
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:55,399
your base unit and far enough that you're going to get the benefit of

122
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,680
devices that are let's say connecting from the second or third story of your

123
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:04,399
house being able to get a stronger signal to to their closest Wi-Fi access

124
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:05,839
point now in an ideal scenario you would

125
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:10,480
actually where' I put that internet cable what you would run wires between

126
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:16,040
your original one and your satellite ones which would

127
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:21,560
mean that you've got all of your Wi-Fi available for your devices but because

128
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:27,000
these things have so many bands and such wide bands and they can use bands

129
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:32,519
concurrently it is far less of a concern than it used to be the lower latency of

130
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:35,320
m is in my opinion the biggest deal

131
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:41,600
because most of the time I don't need to upload something at 1.4 gigabit per

132
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:44,360
second from my cell phone that's not the

133
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:49,640
key benefit the key benefit is that if there's any congestion it can actually

134
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:53,800
use one of the other bands to get that packet through so when you're say for

135
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:58,560
example gaming you're going to get a more consistent experience using Wi-Fi 7

136
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:02,880
of course you're going to need a Wi-Fi 7 enabled client what else is there to talk about in here

137
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:06,720
they've got some convenience features like the ability to set up a separate

138
00:10:04,279 --> 00:10:10,920
Network for guests or iot devices uh supports matter actually speaking of iot

139
00:10:08,839 --> 00:10:14,519
devices parental control so you can either manage that on a network level or

140
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,680
they have an app that you can install on your kids phones what else are we

141
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:24,040
looking at in here all the usual stuff qos port forwarding oh hey LED control

142
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:29,480
dude you can turn it off at night hey I like that if I've got one of

143
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:36,240
these in my theater room or in my my bedroom or something like that I want it

144
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:38,200
off at night I love that it's $600

145
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:43,240
regular price for this and we actually have a $50 off coupon you can check that

146
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:45,639
out down below but if you don't live in

147
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:49,839
a three-story building or if you're a you know small business or something

148
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:54,440
like that you could probably get by with just one of these which I already showed

149
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:58,079
you guys is really flipping fast that's going to cost you $210 and considering

150
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:05,680
you're getting Wi-Fi 7 you're getting the app base setup and everything else that we showed is a lot more palatable

151
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:09,440
and if you're living in honestly apartment even a small detached house

152
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:14,160
you're probably going to get by with that and then you can always go get one

153
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:17,560
more or another one more just don't get too many we actually did a video

154
00:11:15,959 --> 00:11:21,959
recently where we showed what happens if you have too many Wi-Fi access points

155
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:27,279
it's really really bad thanks again to TP for sponsoring this video subscribe
