WEBVTT 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 00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:10.960 thing the Box isn't the important part this video is sponsored by TP link and 00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:16.680 we're going to be looking at The Deco be1 excuse me I mean The Deco 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 00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:26.160 mesh system that promises speeds of over 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:28.840 10 gigabit per second which not that 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 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:38.640 and get out of here but Wi-Fi 7 is 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:41.200 freaking amazing to the point where I 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:45.200 actually believe that with this system you could probably push 10 gbit per 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.920 second of networking through it let's talk about that in a moment first let's 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 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 00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:02.000 USB port so you can attach network storage a power Inlet with including 00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:06.880 power brick which you can't take for granted these days folks and this is 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 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 00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:21.920 ports so if you had something like a high-powered home NZ or um multiple 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.200 people who want to be able to download games at the maximum speed that their 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 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 00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:38.799 in terms of where you can have these multiple fast machines that are 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.479 interacting with each other another really cool technology that tplink 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:48.479 includes with The Deco 10,000 is the ability to use either wired back haul 00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:53.040 Wireless back haul or a combination of wired and wireless back haul and when I 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 00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:01.840 directly to the internet let's say this one that means that any device that's 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 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 00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:15.120 over a wire over Wireless or through a combination depending on what's 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:19.000 convenient for your install if it's only Wi-Fi it can be pretty problematic 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:24.519 although on these I would be a lot less worried about it because they have 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 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 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 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:41.920 the quick installation guide oh by the way the last thing included is this flat 00:02:38.760 --> 00:02:44.200 Ethernet cable indicator LED on the 00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:48.680 bottom unconventional okay now I get it you can 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 00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:55.680 indicator okay fine I'll allow it the 00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:59.840 main benefits of Wi-Fi 7 are that it's faster lower latency and allows more 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:03.360 devices to be connected concurrently to and achieves this in a number of ways 00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:07.959 first of all it uses more sophisticated 4K QAM signaling it uses wider channels 00:03:06.760 --> 00:03:16.640 up to 320 MHz on the 6 GHz band and oh by the 00:03:12.440 --> 00:03:19.080 way it uses the new uncongested 6 GHz 00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:26.159 band which does have some slight drawbacks in terms of range but vastly 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:28.480 outperforms the 5 gz and especially 2.4 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:33.640 GHz BS the last thing that's really important and this is supported by the 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.400 b63 though not all Wi-Fi 7 devices 00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:41.959 necessarily work with it at least not yet is support for mlo or multi-link 00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:48.640 operation this allows it even ignoring the wired connection to use 2.4 5 GHz 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:52.760 and 6 GHz at the same time to supported 00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:54.879 devices for absolutely wild speeds now 00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:58.720 as you can see administration of your deco mesh system is done through the 00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:03.480 Android or iOS app so let's go ahead and get it set up 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:09.120 mhm M 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.120 MH 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:16.680 sure mhm interesting showing up yeah it's 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 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.919 here and we're all happy connected device yeah let's go connection 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:30.600 successful what more could you want everyone wants a successful 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:32.680 connection that was I've got mine stop 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 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 00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:49.039 down C SC set here we go done it's detecting 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:54.440 my internet connection type I'm going to dial up 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:56.199 yo Ethernet cable is not connected see 00:04:54.440 --> 00:05:00.199 Sven told you Belle he told you it wasn't connected let's try that again 00:04:57.960 --> 00:05:05.280 shall we if you're unsure we did advanced 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 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.880 hassle for um electr booms upgrade we 00:05:11.479 --> 00:05:18.240 had to do some K jiggering in order to get it working create your Wi-Fi 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 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:28.400 like yo you're an idiot but they said it really politely oo 6 GHz automatic 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:32.319 updates oh wait oh I almost skipped it yeah yeah yes automatic updates please 00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:39.680 unable to try again it's going to do it this no 00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:43.280 it's going to do it this time it's going to do it this 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:48.639 time it's going to do it this time it's going to do it this 00:05:46.039 --> 00:05:55.120 time it's going to do it this time it's going to do it this 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:58.800 time it's going to do it this time so 00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:03.400 basically they lied to me by having no 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:05.160 internet in these tubes right here hey 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 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 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 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:23.599 get out of this one okay no no yeah that 00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:24.960 that was that was just on The Deco okay 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 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:33.160 fast but it's not that fast okay 00:06:30.440 --> 00:06:40.440 cool that means our 2 and 1/2 gig Port is working 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:42.599 good now let's test our Wi-Fi speed all 00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:45.919 right now it's worth noting that we could be limited by the speed of the 00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:50.360 servers we connect to here but theoretically if we were able to test 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:56.919 over the wire at 2.3 GB per second this should be pretty fast oh 00:06:53.840 --> 00:07:00.160 that's not really as fast as I that's a 00:06:56.919 --> 00:07:02.840 little faster hello 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:07.520 850 megabit per second upload uh okay that really that really 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:13.639 wasn't that fast am I missing something here ah I wasn't missing something but 00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:18.400 maybe our pixel 8 was when we turned on mlo performance increased dramatically 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 00:07:20.840 --> 00:07:27.080 that that's here in our office where there's a lot of interference from our 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:34.319 regular AP so your results may be even better than our own around 1 GB per 00:07:29.919 --> 00:07:37.000 second up and down to a single client 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 00:07:39.039 --> 00:07:46.280 want to have multiple clients connected to it okay my daily driver phone 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 00:07:49.039 --> 00:07:54.720 you're going to get really even more impressed because I bet these results 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:58.319 are going to be basically the same even with two phones hitting it at the same 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 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 00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:15.879 check this out already with just two devices we're 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:19.319 sitting at aggregate of what like 1,200 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:23.879 megabit per second down and like 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:27.759 1,700 up that is freaking 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:29.720 crazy no one else seems impressed TP 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:34.680 link they're they're impressed they're like good job lonus you demoed the 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 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:42.839 and connect a couple more of these units here obviously this is not how I would 00:08:40.959 --> 00:08:46.959 recommend setting up a mesh Network you want to have these devices close enough 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:51.680 that they are able to wirelessly interface with good signal strength to 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:55.399 your base unit and far enough that you're going to get the benefit of 00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:58.680 devices that are let's say connecting from the second or third story of your 00:08:56.880 --> 00:09:04.399 house being able to get a stronger signal to to their closest Wi-Fi access 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.839 point now in an ideal scenario you would 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:10.480 actually where' I put that internet cable what you would run wires between 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:16.040 your original one and your satellite ones which would 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:21.560 mean that you've got all of your Wi-Fi available for your devices but because 00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:27.000 these things have so many bands and such wide bands and they can use bands 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 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:35.320 m is in my opinion the biggest deal 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 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:44.360 second from my cell phone that's not the 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:49.640 key benefit the key benefit is that if there's any congestion it can actually 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 00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:58.560 example gaming you're going to get a more consistent experience using Wi-Fi 7 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 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:06.720 they've got some convenience features like the ability to set up a separate 00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:10.920 Network for guests or iot devices uh supports matter actually speaking of iot 00:10:08.839 --> 00:10:14.519 devices parental control so you can either manage that on a network level or 00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:18.680 they have an app that you can install on your kids phones what else are we 00:10:16.680 --> 00:10:24.040 looking at in here all the usual stuff qos port forwarding oh hey LED control 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 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 00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:38.200 off at night I love that it's $600 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:43.240 regular price for this and we actually have a $50 off coupon you can check that 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:45.639 out down below but if you don't live in 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:49.839 a three-story building or if you're a you know small business or something 00:10:47.920 --> 00:10:54.440 like that you could probably get by with just one of these which I already showed 00:10:51.560 --> 00:10:58.079 you guys is really flipping fast that's going to cost you $210 and considering 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 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:09.440 and if you're living in honestly apartment even a small detached house 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 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:17.560 more or another one more just don't get too many we actually did a video 00:11:15.959 --> 00:11:21.959 recently where we showed what happens if you have too many Wi-Fi access points 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:27.279 it's really really bad thanks again to TP for sponsoring this video subscribe 00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:27.279 to ShortCircuit
