1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,819 The Deco xc75 from tp-link who sponsored 2 00:00:03,540 --> 00:00:11,639 this video Promises to solve your Wi-Fi problems and no wait wait the the time 3 00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:13,920 it actually might it's available in 4 00:00:11,639 --> 00:00:17,520 either a two or three pack and allows you to quickly and easily with their app 5 00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:22,859 which I've actually used on multiple occasions set up a mesh Wi-Fi network in 6 00:00:20,460 --> 00:00:29,340 your home or small business but what makes this pack truly special is that it 7 00:00:25,380 --> 00:00:32,640 uses the new Wi-Fi 6E standard and this 8 00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:35,399 isn't some little speed bump or you know 9 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:40,440 oh you could have even wider channels but uh 10 00:00:36,980 --> 00:00:44,820 good luck actually utilizing them Wi-Fi 11 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:47,879 6E opens up an entirely new range of six 12 00:00:44,820 --> 00:00:51,239 gigahertz Spectrum on top of also 13 00:00:47,879 --> 00:00:53,039 allowing 160 megahertz channels making 14 00:00:51,239 --> 00:00:58,320 it perfect for things like video streaming high bandwidth file transfers 15 00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:04,739 and even gaming in VR let's go ahead and pop these bad boys out it's available 16 00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:08,460 either in the regular xc75 or the xc75 17 00:01:04,739 --> 00:01:12,360 pro and the only real difference is that 18 00:01:08,460 --> 00:01:15,060 the regular xc75 has three gigabit ports 19 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:19,560 on each of the base stations while the pro has a two and a half gig port and 20 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,659 that two and a half gig Port is going to be useful if you have a ton of clients 21 00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:30,659 connected to this thing which well you very well could because tp-link rates it 22 00:01:27,299 --> 00:01:32,700 for up to 200 clients one of the cool 23 00:01:30,659 --> 00:01:37,619 things about their Deco system is that there's no main base station they're all 24 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,759 identical which means that when you're setting it up you don't have to worry 25 00:01:39,299 --> 00:01:46,140 about oh well this is the this is the main one so this one has to go uh here 26 00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:49,740 in the middle of the house and then the other ones have to go kind of above and 27 00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:54,299 below it and they're going to relay data through it none of that it's completely 28 00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:58,500 AI driven and can actually reconfigure itself on the Fly depending on what's 29 00:01:56,759 --> 00:02:02,700 going to work best for your home if I recall correctly Brandon is actually 30 00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:07,259 using a deco system at his house that I set up for him as part of his Intel 31 00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:11,340 extreme Tech upgrade not really a whole lot to see here which is good because 32 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,720 what you want from a Wi-Fi access point is for it to blend into its surroundings 33 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:20,540 let me tell you the conversations that I had to have with the wife about the like 34 00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:24,480 big UFO shaped things on the ceiling especially given that I was changing out 35 00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:29,459 to like a bigger one at the same time that I put in that DIY air conditioning 36 00:02:26,459 --> 00:02:33,120 that had those big ceiling cassettes 37 00:02:29,459 --> 00:02:35,459 not good these can go anywhere you've 38 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,700 got an outlet the only stipulation is that at least one of them has to plug in 39 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:43,739 via Ethernet where your internet connection comes into your house be it 40 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,319 cable ADSL fiber or whatever the case 41 00:02:43,739 --> 00:02:53,040 may be some new technology that you watching in the year 2034 will know 42 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:56,040 about but I don't 43 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,560 what never take this for granted okay 44 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,980 easy to access reset switch on wireless equipment 45 00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:06,540 it's good to have not that I think it'll screw up the configuration process 46 00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:10,860 step the first download the app 47 00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:14,580 okay well we've already done that because it's already set up on this 48 00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:18,540 iPhone for me thanks Belle uh turn off your modem required remove the battery 49 00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:23,400 if your modem has one yeah you probably don't know uh step three plug in the 50 00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:26,400 modem and a deco oh look they got a nice little wiring diagram open the app to 51 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:32,340 finish setup so wait are we going to at least like plug it in somewhere we have 52 00:03:28,140 --> 00:03:33,599 it interwebs yeah ah ah wonderful wait 53 00:03:32,340 --> 00:03:39,480 did I even talk about what's so great about Wi-Fi 6E yet no oh Wi-Fi 60 is 54 00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:43,739 freaking amazing so depending on the country I think Europe is getting about 55 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:47,819 500 megahertz of spectrum and much of the rest of the world is actually 56 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:55,560 getting more like 1200 megahertz Wi-Fi 6E opens up a completely as of now 57 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,480 unused chunk of spectrum that is very 58 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,640 close to the five gigahertz spectrum that we use for Wi-Fi now and what's so 59 00:04:00,060 --> 00:04:08,940 great about it is absolutely nothing else is using it so your microwave which 60 00:04:06,659 --> 00:04:14,640 can interfere with 2.4 gigahertz or your stupid Sony surround speaker system that 61 00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:20,160 interferes with your five gigahertz Wi-Fi none of that can interfere with 62 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:24,060 six gigahertz it's a blank tank slate right now which means that unlike 63 00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:30,900 previous versions of Wi-Fi whether it's 2.4 or 5 gigahertz where theoretically 64 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:34,800 yeah you could go for 40 megahertz wide 65 00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:37,620 band or 80 megahertz unlike those you 66 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:42,780 actually could use those super super wide bands for super high transfer 67 00:04:40,139 --> 00:04:48,900 speeds and not necessarily be just stomping all over the Wi-Fi access of 68 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,919 your pets and neighbors for now I'm sure 69 00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:54,780 it's going to get cluttered up eventually but if you are an early 70 00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:59,820 adopter of Wi-Fi 60 it's gonna be a pretty sweet time not 71 00:04:57,479 --> 00:05:04,259 every device supports Wi-Fi 6C you are going to need devices that do explicitly 72 00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:08,520 support it and your country actually has to turn on support otherwise it is not 73 00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:13,500 going to work but we have tried it out and it's just well it's it's sick 74 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,419 because nothing else is on it it's like driving on the highway by yourself 75 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:23,759 where's my network no one's ever heard of you need the 2035 networking no no 76 00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:28,560 that's just regular fiber I don't want it it's super simple it doesn't matter 77 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:33,180 what port you plug into just done last time we checked out one of 78 00:05:30,780 --> 00:05:37,380 tp-link's Deco units we had an issue where we weren't really able to use it 79 00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:41,880 properly in our office because we already have a router set up for you 80 00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:46,740 know our internet connection fortunately we do have a backup internet connection 81 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,960 but it's really really far away and so 82 00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:52,620 we needed to build ourselves a nice long Ethernet cable so we could plug into 83 00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:56,940 that modem directly unless we want to do a bunch of fancy reconfiguration of our 84 00:05:54,780 --> 00:06:01,560 other router then someone took that cable 85 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:05,580 so today I get to make a new one but 86 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:09,240 that's fine I have this whole box ah of 87 00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:12,120 cat6a cable ah 88 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:18,180 and this termination kit so I am going to terminate it 89 00:06:13,860 --> 00:06:21,840 dang it this kit is not complete I do 90 00:06:18,180 --> 00:06:23,940 not have side Cutters I will make it 91 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:29,220 work but um very rig everything knife to the rescue 92 00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:33,139 yep lttstore.com baby that's right we 93 00:06:29,220 --> 00:06:33,139 carry other creators merch now 94 00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:40,680 oh balls I didn't put a boot on it well I guess that's not happening Moment of 95 00:06:38,580 --> 00:06:47,280 Truth do we get signal 96 00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:48,960 uh I know this is sponsored tp-link but 97 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:55,380 just a little bit of constructive feedback indicator LEDs have not gone 98 00:06:52,440 --> 00:07:00,419 out of fashion on network ports look at that it's it does have an indicator LED 99 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:06,479 it's just on the front so that's good uh wait no that seems to just be 100 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:09,660 indicating a Readiness to do things nope 101 00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:12,539 there's still no LED there but the good 102 00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:18,960 news is we can actually set up our Deco now we have the x75 some variant in it 103 00:07:16,259 --> 00:07:26,780 yes we have all of those things sure we powered off our modem 104 00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:26,780 we plugged in our devices yes yes yes 105 00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:33,419 yeah yeah yeah we definitely did that okay wait till it pulses blue 106 00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:38,759 yes we are now looking for deco 107 00:07:36,060 --> 00:07:43,979 finding Deco it's the sequel but there's no fish anymore because fish 108 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:47,520 weren't in fashion anymore bad movie but good Tech tip where have you placed this 109 00:07:46,259 --> 00:07:53,460 deco ShortCircuit set 110 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:57,780 there was a crooked Linus and you think that cable's not connected 111 00:07:55,919 --> 00:08:01,139 one only one is flashing but when you're plugging is flashing the other one's not 112 00:07:59,340 --> 00:08:06,979 oh you said it the other one yeah I apparently set up this one well that's a 113 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,979 good thing to know uh try again 114 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:13,680 there you go all right so watch out for that the lights on the front indicate 115 00:08:11,819 --> 00:08:16,620 what exactly that particular station is doing 116 00:08:14,940 --> 00:08:21,240 uh you will have a much better password than this because you're not a big dumb 117 00:08:19,259 --> 00:08:27,319 two of these is good for about 5 500 square feet of coverage with three being 118 00:08:22,979 --> 00:08:27,319 for about 7 200 square feet of coverage 119 00:08:28,379 --> 00:08:33,959 when I'm a little confused about is this 120 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,020 one has a green LED but what's the setup process for this boy 121 00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:40,700 tell to connect I was probably just doing a little rebooty boot 122 00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:47,519 found it connected there we go yep that was indeed what happened 123 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:51,180 one online client oh yeah they have their Home Shield Pro which includes 124 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,959 side well apparently intrusion prevention malicious content filtering 125 00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:59,640 DDOS prevention and then they also mentioned parental controls 126 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:05,640 is this one just immediately working oh 127 00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:09,779 cool well that was that uh this one's 128 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:14,040 gonna be in the uh uh living room 129 00:09:09,779 --> 00:09:15,600 cool I'll I'll go I'll go put it there 130 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,560 nice firmware update time 131 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,540 come on 132 00:09:24,839 --> 00:09:31,440 watch pot never boils so I'm gonna do this 133 00:09:28,140 --> 00:09:32,760 it works don't you 134 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,899 asked ooh fast roaming wireless devices to 135 00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:40,820 switch connection to different Echoes seamlessly may result in some older 136 00:09:38,940 --> 00:09:45,420 wireless devices being disconnected probably should be fine if you have like 137 00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:50,459 reasonably new stuff it's a pretty cool feature I want to do a speed test do you have 138 00:09:48,060 --> 00:09:52,640 like a speed test in here I guess we should probably 139 00:09:53,040 --> 00:10:00,980 help we'll find out how long it takes and I will eat chips because I haven't 140 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,980 had lunch today 141 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,100 foreign 142 00:10:06,660 --> 00:10:14,160 oh wow that was actually really quick wow those hot chips are very hot though 143 00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:17,060 we'll just use a third party speed test go 144 00:10:17,459 --> 00:10:21,899 I don't even think this is Wi-Fi 60 device and 6E is not working in Canada 145 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,580 yet also that's not very fast 146 00:10:25,740 --> 00:10:31,140 oh I got a little better towards the end there 147 00:10:29,220 --> 00:10:33,660 oh that upload speed though okay 148 00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:37,980 you know what the fact that we're uploading at 350 and downloading at 208 149 00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:42,360 means the bottleneck is probably on the server side that's the issue with an 150 00:10:40,380 --> 00:10:48,000 internet based speed test is that you can only be as fast as this oh aebc 151 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:52,260 internet who are even these guys I never use these guys for Speed okay well we're 152 00:10:49,620 --> 00:10:58,800 over 300 now so it's clearly not a Wi-Fi issue what happens though if I move I I 153 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:02,160 mean yeah just just just turn it yeah just just turn it I don't even 154 00:11:01,079 --> 00:11:10,100 okay so I'm gonna go I'm gonna go to the living room Deco style 155 00:11:06,839 --> 00:11:13,640 into the darkness he goes 156 00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:13,640 are you just gonna yell 157 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,620 yeah sort of 158 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:38,459 oh oh my upload speeds my upload speeds 159 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:40,320 tanking it's tanking oh oh I'm back on 160 00:11:38,459 --> 00:11:43,800 the I'm back on this access point again I think oh it's going up there you go oh 161 00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:47,820 it's all going up only towards the end there but you're gonna see it's gonna be 162 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:52,920 faster again here we go okay who are who is aepc you stop you 163 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,579 stop now the government of British Columbia you 164 00:11:54,660 --> 00:12:02,399 can the government of British Columbia has a test server on here 165 00:11:59,459 --> 00:12:07,019 all right BC gun oh wow 23 milliseconds gross I mean lots of bandwidth though 166 00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:11,760 okay so can't confirm it did run back to the correct base station 167 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:15,120 all right go government of BC 168 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:17,160 over 400 megabits the point is with 169 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:21,360 multiple clients you can see speeds of over 2 gigabit per second to one of 170 00:12:19,380 --> 00:12:25,200 these decos assuming of course remember remember this part that you get the pro 171 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:31,140 variant otherwise you're going to be limited by your gigabit Uplink and up to 172 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:37,140 574 megabits per second on the 2.4 gigahertz band also more importantly 173 00:12:33,540 --> 00:12:38,880 where to check out The Deco XE 75
