WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000 So this is the place we're staying in Singapore with some of my wife's relatives. 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:13.000 It's absolutely beautiful. We're talking, like, talking parrot, teak wood stairs, just gorgeous interior. 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:18.000 Actually, it was designed by the owner and then built on this lot here in Singapore. 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:23.000 Everything about it is just amazing and beautiful, except for one thing. 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:28.000 The Wi-Fi is awful. I was getting disconnections all over the place. 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.000 I was getting slowdowns. I couldn't even send hangouts messages half the time. 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:37.000 So being me, I was like, okay, so what's your Wi-Fi solution? 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.000 What's wrong with your internet? Because the speed test is fine. 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:44.000 It's 50 down, about eight up, which should be plenty for all of that stuff. 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.290 And he shows it to me and I go, oh, okay. 00:00:49.290 --> 00:00:58.290 So these guys are using the ISP provided modem, switch, router, access point combo unit. 00:00:58.290 --> 00:01:03.290 The structure of this place is pure, like, foot-thick concrete. 00:01:03.290 --> 00:01:12.290 And then they've got a repeater down on the landing for the second story that is supposed to provide better coverage downstairs. 00:01:12.290 --> 00:01:14.290 Awful solution. 00:01:14.290 --> 00:01:21.290 So it's time for us to figure out some kind of a networking home makeover while we're staying here. 00:01:21.290 --> 00:01:32.340 What the crap am I doing back here? 00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:37.340 It's like I traveled through time to tell you guys that Intel's new 750 series SSD 00:01:37.340 --> 00:01:42.340 utilized the NVMe standard providing speeds never seen before on consumer storage drives. 00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:45.340 Click anywhere to learn more. 00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:52.050 All right, so we're here at the famous Simlim Square where I'll be trying to find some better wireless gear 00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:56.050 and just kind of generally checking it out because I've heard a lot of stuff about this place. 00:01:56.050 --> 00:02:01.050 Number one is that it's an awesome place to find pretty much anything electronics and computer-y. 00:02:01.050 --> 00:02:07.050 And number two is that it's a great place to get scammed with everyone giving different sorts of advice. 00:02:07.050 --> 00:02:15.050 But apparently Mobile 22 PTE Limited and Gadget Terminal PTE Limited have had a fair number of complaints 00:02:15.050 --> 00:02:19.050 as of the last period here, so I should watch out for those guys. 00:02:19.050 --> 00:02:21.050 Important notice. 00:02:21.050 --> 00:02:23.050 Yeah, let's head inside. 00:02:23.050 --> 00:02:28.400 They have everything here.

00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:21.310 That, my friend, is how it is gonna be to get good internet. 00:09:21.310 --> 00:09:25.860 Go right down here so we get a nice clean line. 00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:27.540 Okay, so I'm not sure about ideal. 00:09:27.540 --> 00:09:28.580 There's no location. 00:09:28.580 --> 00:09:31.920 Part of the problem is this structure is all concrete. 00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:34.160 Concrete, concrete. 00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:35.940 It doesn't look like I'm gonna have a choice. 00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:40.100 So either I think I'm gonna do that pillar on the second floor 00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:44.560 or I'm gonna run it to mount on this thing. 00:09:44.560 --> 00:09:46.380 What I might ask is, what's the priority? 00:09:46.380 --> 00:09:48.880 Because if the priority is the downstairs, 00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:59.480 then I might be better off to go here. 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:06.020 That's what you get for having bad Wi-Fi. 00:10:06.020 --> 00:10:07.580 So one of the reasons we had to, 00:10:07.580 --> 00:10:12.900 spend so much on our access point was PoE, power over Ethernet, so that I don't have to run those 00:10:12.900 --> 00:10:18.100 two wires. And what I like about the ubiquities anyway, is that they come with an injector in 00:10:18.100 --> 00:10:24.620 case you don't have a PoE switch. Do these two pronged ones work here? Oh, you have an adapter. 00:10:24.760 --> 00:10:30.440 Oh, handy. All right. Did not count on that. So we might need to use some kind of adhesive backing 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:44.470 and I didn't get any extra. Oh yeah. I also need to steal one of your Ethernet cables. Okay. 00:10:44.810 --> 00:10:57.640 Now let's go plug this guy in. See if we got power. I might have to go switch those things 00:10:57.640 --> 00:11:07.600 around. I always get it wrong. Any light? Oh, there it goes. All right. Now we got to get the 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:14.340 console fired up. Okay. So to configure the thing, we need to install the ubiquity controller 00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:21.390 software. So let's fire up this ancient Dell Optiplex 760. This is actually the computer 00:11:21.390 --> 00:11:26.630 I'll be upgrading and get it set up. Once we've got the controller set up, it doesn't actually 00:11:26.630 --> 00:11:33.370 ever need to interact with the controller. So I'm not worried about that. We just need to get it 00:11:33.370 --> 00:11:41.480 set up the first time. Who says text don't, you know, work out. No wonder they want this computer 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:50.980 upgraded. I can't even do anything in an internet browser. Even the mouse movement is slow. Oh my 00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:57.440 goodness. This computer needs more than just a new SSD and some RAM. The most up-to-date browser 00:11:59.540 --> 00:12:05.360 or something. All right. So per the usual, the ubiquity software is super easy to get set up. So 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:10.720 all we've got to do now is manually set up our channels, manually set up our widths. 00:12:11.260 --> 00:12:19.260 During the setup wizard, I was able to set up the SSID and everything. So what's left now then 00:12:19.260 --> 00:12:25.600 is to have a look at the surrounding area. And you can see that this is why I thought it was so 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.320 important to have five gigahertz. Cause actually from the, from the outside, 00:12:29.540 --> 00:12:35.920 from the backyard, there's a bunch of stuff in here. So stuff on channel six, seven, um, their 00:12:35.920 --> 00:12:41.880 old Wi-Fi was on channel one, actually both the X, the repeater and the original access point were on 00:12:41.880 --> 00:12:49.660 one. So they're just talking over each other, but on five gigahertz, basically empty. So actually, 00:12:49.660 --> 00:12:54.660 the only thing we can see right now is the one that I just put in. So we're going to go ahead 00:12:54.660 --> 00:12:58.560 and we're going to play around with positioning a little bit. We're going to make sure that from 00:12:58.560 --> 00:12:59.840 everywhere within the house, we've got a lot of stuff in here. So we're going to go ahead and 00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:07.820 set this baby up. All right. So here in the back corner, we can see there's a couple on channel 36 00:13:07.820 --> 00:13:15.660 from this neighbor, but our strength is still not that bad on five gigahertz. Naturally, this floor 00:13:15.660 --> 00:13:22.210 is all very good with the access point right in the middle. Even five gigahertz can punch through, 00:13:22.210 --> 00:13:29.280 you know, one concrete wall. Okay. Actually should be workable. All right. So way at the back is 00:13:29.280 --> 00:13:30.260 actually quite a lot of work. So we're going to go ahead and set this baby up. All right. So here 00:13:30.260 --> 00:13:46.300 at the back, you can see what I was talking about with 2.4 gigahertz being completely congested and 00:13:46.300 --> 00:13:51.880 five gigahertz basically being our best bet to not be completely interfering with absolutely 00:13:51.880 --> 00:14:03.280 everything else. Yeah. You won't be FaceTiming back here. Ooh, Russian girls. So now that we've 00:14:03.280 --> 00:14:05.520 determined the location we want, I'm just going to go ahead and set this baby up. All right. So 00:14:05.540 --> 00:14:11.940 I'm going to throw a little sticky note on here that has the admin password and all that good 00:14:11.940 --> 00:14:19.140 stuff. Actually, I'm going to put it on the mounting plate. Then I have double-sided adhesive. 00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:23.740 That's the best solution I was able to come up with. I got two different kinds. So I'm going 00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:31.200 to hedge my bets and I'm going to use half of each. While what I wanted to do to have it on 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:38.940 the bottom stair. Nope. Okay. This one. I'm going to apply pressure about 30 seconds. 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:51.840 Okay. Um, I do want to leave this like some kind of a knot here, actually. If the adhesive fails, 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:56.180 I don't want it to come crashing to the ground. So this is where my cable management tabs from 00:14:56.180 --> 00:15:02.160 upstairs come in. Straight lines are good. All right. How many times do I have left? Oh, nine. 00:15:02.160 --> 00:15:21.600 So that is nine feet. Okay. So we're going to go every foot. Okay. Okay. So I think we're done now. 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:21.760 Okay. So I think we're done now. Our connectivity was pretty good to begin with. Now, this is all 00:15:21.760 --> 00:15:21.780 because we're trying to figure out how to set up and put it back. The hardest part is getting everything 00:15:21.780 --> 00:15:21.800 All right. So that is nine feet. Okay. So we're going to go every foot. Okay. So I think we're done now. Our 00:15:21.800 --> 00:15:23.500 Okay. So I think we're done now. Our connectivity was pretty good to begin with. Now, our 00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:26.940 Our connectivity up here is the only place in the house 00:15:26.940 --> 00:15:29.260 where it's really not as consistent as I'd like, 00:15:29.260 --> 00:15:32.680 not as good as I'd like, but I think we found a solution 00:15:32.680 --> 00:15:34.420 because it's only very rarely that someone 00:15:34.420 --> 00:15:36.180 is gonna be using something like a phone up here. 00:15:36.180 --> 00:15:37.820 This is actually the worst performing device 00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:39.220 in the house for Wi-Fi. 00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:41.280 That laptop over there, that old laptop, 00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:44.600 gets 40 megabit from the position on this desk right here 00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:46.140 on our range network. 00:15:46.140 --> 00:15:47.460 So that's what we ended up doing. 00:15:47.460 --> 00:15:52.100 We made two SSIDs, speed and range. 00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:55.900 Speed can saturate the 100 megabit connection 00:15:55.900 --> 00:15:57.840 that we have here at this location 00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.920 from anywhere downstairs, pretty much. 00:15:59.920 --> 00:16:01.780 And then range is able to, 00:16:01.780 --> 00:16:03.680 even on our worst case scenario device, 00:16:03.680 --> 00:16:06.960 give us about five to 10 megabit up here. 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:08.600 Not too shabby. 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.040 Then what we did was we reconfigured 00:16:11.040 --> 00:16:13.460 the existing access point as more of a failover. 00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:15.440 So we called this one attic. 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.280 And so if range on a particular device 00:16:18.280 --> 00:16:19.680 is not working well up here, 00:16:19.680 --> 00:16:21.300 can connect directly to that one. 00:16:21.300 --> 00:16:22.100 Then we like to have it 00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:23.600 left the range extender downstairs. 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.040 And with a little bit of repositioning, 00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:27.260 I'm able to get 20 megabit 00:16:27.260 --> 00:16:29.540 at the very bottom floor with that one. 00:16:29.540 --> 00:16:31.360 But we're just gonna leave that unplugged 00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.680 unless our Ubiquiti access point fails 00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:34.940 or something like that. 00:16:34.940 --> 00:16:37.480 So now we have not only better speeds 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.140 pretty much throughout the house, 00:16:39.140 --> 00:16:41.600 but we also have a failover system 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.340 in the event that the access point dies 00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:46.220 or something like that. 00:16:46.220 --> 00:16:49.360 So not too shabby. 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:50.960 Is it the ideal solution? 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:51.780 No. 00:16:51.780 --> 00:16:55.180 What I wanted was a 24 seven controller running 00:16:55.180 --> 00:16:56.700 and two access points, 00:16:56.700 --> 00:16:58.500 one at the top, one at the bottom. 00:16:58.500 --> 00:17:01.460 Then I think I could get anywhere from 50 to 100 megabit 00:17:01.460 --> 00:17:03.060 anywhere on the property. 00:17:03.060 --> 00:17:04.280 That would have been great. 00:17:04.280 --> 00:17:07.260 We weren't able to do that because you know how things are. 00:17:07.260 --> 00:17:10.340 So this is not a bad solution overall. 00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:12.760 What madness is this? 00:17:12.760 --> 00:17:15.400 I'm back in the studio. 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.620 Crunchyroll must have bent space and time 00:17:19.620 --> 00:17:20.980 to bring me back anyway. 00:17:20.980 --> 00:17:23.900 Crunchyroll is a site created by anime fans for anime fans. 00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:25.900 It has nothing to do with bending space or time. 00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:28.080 They offer the most current episodes of new shows 00:17:28.080 --> 00:17:31.040 straight from Japan, like Food Wars and Gintama. 00:17:31.040 --> 00:17:32.500 And they have a large collection 00:17:32.500 --> 00:17:36.560 of the most popular anime series like Naruto and One Piece. 00:17:36.560 --> 00:17:38.560 What's cool is that all the content on their site 00:17:38.560 --> 00:17:40.240 is professionally subtitled. 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.820 And if you have a premium membership, 00:17:42.820 --> 00:17:44.960 which you can go to crunchyroll.com slash Linus 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.620 to try out for 30 days of unlimited free, 00:17:48.620 --> 00:17:50.820 completely ad free, you get $10. 00:17:50.820 --> 00:17:53.680 You get 1080p streaming as well as new shows from Japan 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:55.840 within an hour of their premiere. 00:17:55.840 --> 00:17:58.100 And you can stream anywhere on a variety of devices 00:17:58.100 --> 00:18:00.700 like your phone, tablet, or game console. 00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:02.340 So once you've decided you like premium, 00:18:02.340 --> 00:18:04.520 you can continue for 6.95 a month. 00:18:04.520 --> 00:18:06.840 So head over to crunchyroll.com slash Linus 00:18:06.840 --> 00:18:08.720 to try it out now. 00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:12.420 So guys, this has been a bit of a different format. 00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:15.100 Like it if you liked it, dislike it if you hated it. 00:18:15.100 --> 00:18:16.220 Leave a comment if your feelings 00:18:16.220 --> 00:18:17.220 are more complicated than that. 00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:19.020 As always, we have links in the video description 00:18:19.020 --> 00:18:20.660 where you can buy a cool t-shirt. 00:18:20.820 --> 00:18:22.760 Like this one, like Linus Tech Tips one. 00:18:22.760 --> 00:18:24.720 You can give us a monthly contribution if you like our work. 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.800 You can change your bookmark to Amazon 00:18:26.800 --> 00:18:27.900 to one with our affiliate code 00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:28.820 so we get a small kickback 00:18:28.820 --> 00:18:30.940 whenever you buy access points or whatever else. 00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:32.280 And I think that's pretty much it. 00:18:32.280 --> 00:18:34.260 Thanks again for watching. 00:18:34.260 --> 00:18:35.240 I already did that. 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:36.540 Don't forget to subscribe.
