WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.540 everyone loves Wi-Fi right you use it on your phone your laptop your whatever 00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:11.040 thing that uses Wi-Fi what if I told you you could make it better MSI sponsored 00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:17.520 this video to show off the Radix axe 6600 that could do just that it's got 00:00:14.340 --> 00:00:18.960 Wi-Fi 60 it's got pretty lights and best 00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:22.439 of all you can check out their virtual launch event at the link down in the 00:00:20.580 --> 00:00:25.619 description but let's let's unbox it that's what you're really here for it's 00:00:23.939 --> 00:00:30.060 got cool stuff on the outside I'm not really sure what meta ready means but 00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:34.800 I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg is a big fan just on the outside of the box because 00:00:31.619 --> 00:00:38.640 this is Wi-Fi 6E supported you're gonna 00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:41.760 have 2.4 G 5G and 6G which you know this 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:44.100 is actually not not a terrible analogy 00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:48.780 for kind of how it works the 2.4 G is like the single Lane Road the 5G is like 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:53.100 the two lane road six G's like look at all these Lanes this is an American 00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:57.120 Highway damn it oh are they pre-attached that's kind of cool a lot of the times 00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:01.500 when you get routers like this you have a big bundle of antennas you have to put 00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:05.880 on yourself with this one pre-attached 00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:12.060 look at that got an Ethernet cable it's important and 00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:14.280 a power brick on the outside the MSI 00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:16.920 logo feels like a button it's definitely a button I don't think it would be a 00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:22.439 power button because this is like a Wi-Fi router you don't really want it to be off I suspect that this is probably 00:01:20.580 --> 00:01:27.479 for switching the quality of service mode we've got our six antennas each of 00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:32.400 these you see how there's like a little translucent part there's RGB in here and 00:01:30.659 --> 00:01:36.720 the color changes according to what your quality of service profile is you got 00:01:34.380 --> 00:01:42.840 red for gaming purple for streaming dark blue for work from home and then the 00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:44.880 kind of cyan light blue is AI auto mode 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:49.680 you can think of qos or quality of service kind of like an HOV lane on the 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:53.579 highway except not everyone gets to go in you pick whatever your most important 00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:57.899 traffic is so I imagine gaming it's going to prioritize game related traffic 00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:02.100 streaming is going to prioritize your connection to Twitch or YouTube work 00:01:59.939 --> 00:02:05.759 from home not really sure on that one but I'm sure it's something basically 00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:11.160 think of it like an HOV lane where that traffic let's say our game packets get 00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:14.819 prioritized they get access to go through before any of the other traffic 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.940 on your network if you're in a situation where you've run out of bandwidth say 00:02:16.379 --> 00:02:25.020 you've got a one gigabit connection and the clients on your network want to use like 1.1 gigabit well it's going to put 00:02:22.620 --> 00:02:28.620 that game traffic before the rest of the traffic in every situation and that 00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:34.920 means you know if you're gaming you're not going to have lag despite other people using your network a lot and the 00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:38.400 same for streaming I mentioned the AI auto qos mode and that's basically just 00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:42.720 going to use an algorithm that's pre-programmed onto the router itself to 00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:46.739 try to prioritize traffic based on the needs of your your Network's users you 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:51.239 can also go on the web interface and pick specific services that you're using 00:02:49.019 --> 00:02:54.360 to prioritize so say you're like really heavy YouTube Watcher and there's lots 00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.360 of people on your network well you can go in there and hit Youtube and it'll prioritize that for you which we'll see 00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:04.860 later on the outside I did confirm this is the qos button we've got an 00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:09.420 arrangement of LEDs that one will probably be for internet you've got got 00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:12.420 a link activity LED for all of the ports 00:03:09.420 --> 00:03:14.879 and then power WPS for Wi-Fi protected 00:03:12.420 --> 00:03:18.239 setup Wi-Fi button maybe that turns Wi-Fi on and off I don't know and then 00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:21.300 there's an LED off button especially when you got lots of Lights like this if you have this thing in your bedroom or 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:26.940 something you're trying to go to sleep having a button to turn them off is a lot nicer than having to go into the web 00:03:24.540 --> 00:03:32.040 interface on the back we've got four gigabit ports and a 2.5 gig Wan and Lan 00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:35.819 which is great this is Wi-Fi 6E base so if you had an above gigabit connection 00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:40.379 you probably could get above gigabit through this router on Wi-Fi Wi-Fi 6E 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:45.780 got a USB 3.0 Port presumably for expanding storage power button and then 00:03:43.860 --> 00:03:49.980 power and of course there's a reset as well you see those two little silver 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:55.860 Stripes here those are actually heat pipes and then in between them is like a 00:03:52.379 --> 00:03:58.379 giant aluminum heat sink this thing has 00:03:55.860 --> 00:04:02.400 got some serious Cooling and it's going to need that for the 1.8 gigahertz 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:09.000 quad-core CPU that powers the thing I mean even just looking at the power 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:10.680 brick this guy says 12 volt 3 3.5 amp 42 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:13.560 Watts that's a fair bit of power and it should mean a fair bit of performance 00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:19.440 they did mention in their talking points that the heat pipes and array they have in here resulted in a 12 degree lower 00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:22.800 temperature I'm assuming that means compared to not having this upgraded 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:27.440 cooling um but yeah should should run cool and 00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:27.440 quiet 00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:36.180 oh cool look at this this is great when you log in to use your router for the 00:04:34.620 --> 00:04:40.500 first time use the admin page for the first time it just prompts you do you 00:04:39.060 --> 00:04:46.500 want to change the name of the Wi-Fi network so many people I go to their 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:49.680 house and it's like tell us 7392 like 00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:51.660 bruh you can change that wow look at 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:55.440 this dashboard it's so pretty Wireless clients we have one and it's my MacBook 00:04:53.400 --> 00:05:00.080 Pro that makes sense cool I could block it spicy memory we got traffic analyzer 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:05.340 we're not using a whole lot of traffic AI auto mode it appears they're using a 00:05:03.300 --> 00:05:09.600 third-party service called GT booster to power the AI qos and the parental 00:05:07.979 --> 00:05:13.979 control feature if you're somebody who isn't super into like phoning home and 00:05:11.699 --> 00:05:20.100 stuff you can just disagree and use traditional qos but I am going to agree 00:05:17.699 --> 00:05:23.100 oh look it's doing stuff now it had one breath 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:27.780 One Singular brick Oh it breathed again did you see the breath 00:05:25.259 --> 00:05:32.340 hey red breath right and then 00:05:29.220 --> 00:05:34.500 it is updating in the web GUI as I click 00:05:32.340 --> 00:05:38.280 it maybe not instantly but within a few seconds it updated that's pretty cool 00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:42.060 okay so word from home prioritizes online meeting streams and conference 00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:45.000 calls so that actually makes sense so like Zoom or anything like that it'll 00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:48.780 it'll prioritize in the work from home setting which could actually be important if you don't have great 00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:54.539 internet I'm always thinking from the perspective of you know if you had gigabit and you were trying to use 1.1 00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:59.460 gigabit but if you have like 20 down five up that's when features like this 00:05:56.940 --> 00:06:05.520 are really important oh you can sync the RGB on this thing with 00:06:02.460 --> 00:06:07.800 the RGB on your PC your MSI PC that's 00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:11.160 actually kind of kind of awesome you got port forwarding in here it's important 00:06:09.539 --> 00:06:14.580 if you want to like post a Minecraft server for your friends or something 00:06:12.539 --> 00:06:18.720 like that integrated openvpn which is Suite networking 00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:23.160 out Tracer out name server lookup netstat all the usual 00:06:20.820 --> 00:06:28.020 stuff in here now there's actually a fair bit of control in here 00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:34.020 I'm gonna set our our six gigahertz to 160 wide because we want lots lots of 00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:37.319 speed as much speed as possible what can you do is this a schedule kind of like a 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:41.639 schedule for when this wi-fi is on I can make a schedule for when the Wi-Fi is on 00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:46.740 cool because I hate my kids wow there's actually a lot of 00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:49.620 there's a lot of options in here six gig 00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:53.880 guard interval I can convert multicast to unicast which is usually called 00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:59.639 multicast enhancement that's good oh here let's try the LED off oh I turned 00:06:56.340 --> 00:07:01.560 off these LEDs bruh appreciate MSI 00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:06.720 sponsoring this video but this led off button should very much turn the LEDs of 00:07:03.960 --> 00:07:10.319 this off as well because it seems kind of silly I want to look at the 00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:14.460 propaganda quick start guys oh it's one of these all right let me 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:18.360 just break out my map really quick I like that it gives you a URL to connect 00:07:15.960 --> 00:07:23.160 to instead of an IP because if you change the subnet on your router then 00:07:21.419 --> 00:07:28.740 whatever IP that they put on there wouldn't work they have a phone app 00:07:26.099 --> 00:07:32.759 hey look at that I'm screen recording don't worry look it's basically the same 00:07:30.419 --> 00:07:37.319 devices we got that they're Game Center game Turbo booster you can turn that on 00:07:35.099 --> 00:07:42.419 you can adjust your qos profile oh you can schedule a daily reboot that's cool 00:07:39.479 --> 00:07:46.680 oh cool it's scanning the band you're using so like 2.45 or 6 gigahertz and 00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:51.479 telling you the other networks that are using it which is these two so if you're trying 00:07:49.740 --> 00:07:55.680 to figure out like problems with interference you can use a tool like 00:07:53.160 --> 00:08:00.000 this to scan the surroundings and maybe change the channel That this access 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:03.720 point is using to different them say your neighbors to reduce the amount of 00:08:02.039 --> 00:08:07.020 interference all right that's like a great little app a lot of them don't 00:08:05.220 --> 00:08:10.020 have apps like this and you just have to use the web interface and a lot of the 00:08:08.340 --> 00:08:13.560 web interfaces are not optimized for using on a phone which obviously if you 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:17.520 just want to change your Wi-Fi password or adjust your parental controls really 00:08:16.020 --> 00:08:22.860 quick not having to break out a computer is pretty nice you can set multiple 00:08:19.860 --> 00:08:25.620 ssids so if you wanted to have like a 00:08:22.860 --> 00:08:30.780 Wi-Fi called Jake's Wi-Fi and then you could have another Wi-Fi that says Bell 00:08:27.900 --> 00:08:33.599 is not the real Jake you could have both of them at the same time and you can set 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:37.200 different passwords for them which is great you can do it by Band even so only 00:08:35.640 --> 00:08:42.060 on the six gigahertz you have an extra one whatever you want guest Network oh 00:08:39.719 --> 00:08:47.700 crap you can have a guest access too this is a pretty featured little little 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:53.940 Wi-Fi guy here I've only ever had like ISP provided or like Amazon access 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:56.940 points and then I went to like a full Enterprise solution I never kind of went 00:08:55.380 --> 00:09:00.300 in between so it's amazing that a lot of these Enterprise features are also 00:08:58.500 --> 00:09:04.860 available on a kind of consumer product like this not to say that it's not fast 00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:09.060 but it is more oriented than normal people as part of the quality of service 00:09:06.540 --> 00:09:13.200 features MSI has game accelerator built into this router access point I guess 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:18.660 it's part of the the gaming quality of service profile to ensure that when you 00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:20.940 are gaming the gaming traffic packets 00:09:18.660 --> 00:09:23.880 are the number one priority so you don't have any interruptions in your gaming 00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:28.860 it's not going to help you if your ISP sucks but assuming everything coming 00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:32.360 into this is good it should keep gaming 00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:34.860 good okay we got our we got our AEP here 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:39.000 positioned optimally very close to our our computer we're on Wi-Fi 6E oh it 00:09:37.680 --> 00:09:48.120 doesn't know that's why close whoa Eleven Hundred down 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:52.200 twelve hundred down damn brother 1200 up 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:55.080 too oh it went down to 1100. still above 00:09:52.200 --> 00:10:02.760 it is quite literally faster than the hardwired network ports on this this lap 00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:07.740 oh it's almost 1500 now oh 00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:10.440 13 26 let's go 1500 holy 00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:14.820 the laptop's fan is actually like kicking up because the speed test is so 00:10:12.540 --> 00:10:18.540 fast one thing I will mention with Wi-Fi 6E because it's six gigahertz instead of 00:10:17.160 --> 00:10:25.320 five gigahertz um it's gonna have less penetrating power it also means that to get crazy 00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:29.279 crazy speeds like above gigabit like this you know as soon as we move this 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:32.580 guy over here we'll probably be able to see a 00:10:30.779 --> 00:10:36.899 reduction in speed but I mean if you're in the same room you should probably be 00:10:34.140 --> 00:10:41.459 able to get at least gigabit maybe above still almost a thousand down aren't you 00:10:39.300 --> 00:10:45.540 this is not the BL and end-all of speed testing because there's a server on the 00:10:44.339 --> 00:10:51.120 other end that is being used by other people you never know all right the upload speed is still 1500 up and we're 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:56.399 this far should I go on a little walk here we go everyone we're walking we're 00:10:53.880 --> 00:11:01.079 walking I'm probably I mean you can see the ShortCircuit set over there I'm 00:10:57.660 --> 00:11:03.300 probably 20 feet away now almost 800 00:11:01.079 --> 00:11:08.160 down see what the upload speeds like oh we're still getting still uploading at a 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:12.420 gigabit so I mean yes there was a reduction 20 feet away I'm still getting 00:11:10.140 --> 00:11:16.620 1100 up like that's pretty damn good okay we're gonna pretend that we're 00:11:14.339 --> 00:11:22.500 Riley here this is the tech news oof oof I'm a lot 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:28.079 further probably a hundred feet maybe maybe not 00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:32.880 100 feet let's say 50 feet through a bunch of metal and shelves and the 00:11:30.540 --> 00:11:35.880 signal is is gone down a lot because it's six gigahertz the range is not 00:11:34.680 --> 00:11:40.260 going to be as good so we're only getting like 200 up 130 00:11:38.339 --> 00:11:45.300 down but if we switch back to the 5G and you could have these on the same SSID 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:48.660 and they would switch automatically much 00:11:45.300 --> 00:11:51.240 better 200 down and the upload speed 00:11:48.660 --> 00:11:54.959 clothes are like 250 to 230 230. yeah let's do I'm gonna do one over 00:11:54.180 --> 00:11:59.279 here so it's just we're pretty close it's 00:11:57.420 --> 00:12:02.820 just on the other side of that wall but we have one wall between us now it's 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:08.700 still pretty good I mean a lot of people's 5G is going to cap out at like 00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:11.459 500 600 so 500 down 700 up through a 00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:15.600 wall sweet overall really fast Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi 60 you can do up to eight 00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:20.040 streams across the three bands for a theoretical Max of 6.6 gigabit which is 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:23.279 super fast we've got the 2.5 gig Wan which is great to see especially since 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:28.200 Wi-Fi 60 can support it and we just saw that nice build doesn't feel like it's 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:32.100 getting hot or anything I do wish the LED off button would turn those LEDs off 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:37.260 but other than that pretty cool product if you want to pick up the MSI Radix axe 00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:43.440 6600 you can go on NewEgg and use code lucky 100 until March 15th to save 100 00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:46.440 bucks off of the MSRP which is 349. so 249 that's a pretty good deal for 00:12:45.060 --> 00:12:50.040 something with this much horsepower you can also get it on the MSI store but 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:53.100 that won't be at the discount so you might as well buy it from Newegg so 00:12:51.959 --> 00:13:00.240 thanks for watching if you like this video give it a like if you didn't like it hit the dislike button yeah it does a 00:12:57.060 --> 00:13:00.240 lot bye
