The Deco xc75 from tp-link who sponsored
this video Promises to solve your Wi-Fi problems and no wait wait the the time
it actually might it's available in
either a two or three pack and allows you to quickly and easily with their app
which I've actually used on multiple occasions set up a mesh Wi-Fi network in
your home or small business but what makes this pack truly special is that it
uses the new Wi-Fi 6E standard and this
isn't some little speed bump or you know
oh you could have even wider channels but uh
good luck actually utilizing them Wi-Fi
6E opens up an entirely new range of six
gigahertz Spectrum on top of also
allowing 160 megahertz channels making
it perfect for things like video streaming high bandwidth file transfers
and even gaming in VR let's go ahead and pop these bad boys out it's available
either in the regular xc75 or the xc75
pro and the only real difference is that
the regular xc75 has three gigabit ports
on each of the base stations while the pro has a two and a half gig port and
that two and a half gig Port is going to be useful if you have a ton of clients
connected to this thing which well you very well could because tp-link rates it
for up to 200 clients one of the cool
things about their Deco system is that there's no main base station they're all
identical which means that when you're setting it up you don't have to worry
about oh well this is the this is the main one so this one has to go uh here
in the middle of the house and then the other ones have to go kind of above and
below it and they're going to relay data through it none of that it's completely
AI driven and can actually reconfigure itself on the Fly depending on what's
going to work best for your home if I recall correctly Brandon is actually
using a deco system at his house that I set up for him as part of his Intel
extreme Tech upgrade not really a whole lot to see here which is good because
what you want from a Wi-Fi access point is for it to blend into its surroundings
let me tell you the conversations that I had to have with the wife about the like
big UFO shaped things on the ceiling especially given that I was changing out
to like a bigger one at the same time that I put in that DIY air conditioning
that had those big ceiling cassettes
not good these can go anywhere you've
got an outlet the only stipulation is that at least one of them has to plug in
via Ethernet where your internet connection comes into your house be it
cable ADSL fiber or whatever the case
may be some new technology that you watching in the year 2034 will know
about but I don't
what never take this for granted okay
easy to access reset switch on wireless equipment
it's good to have not that I think it'll screw up the configuration process
step the first download the app
okay well we've already done that because it's already set up on this
iPhone for me thanks Belle uh turn off your modem required remove the battery
if your modem has one yeah you probably don't know uh step three plug in the
modem and a deco oh look they got a nice little wiring diagram open the app to
finish setup so wait are we going to at least like plug it in somewhere we have
it interwebs yeah ah ah wonderful wait
did I even talk about what's so great about Wi-Fi 6E yet no oh Wi-Fi 60 is
freaking amazing so depending on the country I think Europe is getting about
500 megahertz of spectrum and much of the rest of the world is actually
getting more like 1200 megahertz Wi-Fi 6E opens up a completely as of now
unused chunk of spectrum that is very
close to the five gigahertz spectrum that we use for Wi-Fi now and what's so
great about it is absolutely nothing else is using it so your microwave which
can interfere with 2.4 gigahertz or your stupid Sony surround speaker system that
interferes with your five gigahertz Wi-Fi none of that can interfere with
six gigahertz it's a blank tank slate right now which means that unlike
previous versions of Wi-Fi whether it's 2.4 or 5 gigahertz where theoretically
yeah you could go for 40 megahertz wide
band or 80 megahertz unlike those you
actually could use those super super wide bands for super high transfer
speeds and not necessarily be just stomping all over the Wi-Fi access of
your pets and neighbors for now I'm sure
it's going to get cluttered up eventually but if you are an early
adopter of Wi-Fi 60 it's gonna be a pretty sweet time not
every device supports Wi-Fi 6C you are going to need devices that do explicitly
support it and your country actually has to turn on support otherwise it is not
going to work but we have tried it out and it's just well it's it's sick
because nothing else is on it it's like driving on the highway by yourself
where's my network no one's ever heard of you need the 2035 networking no no
that's just regular fiber I don't want it it's super simple it doesn't matter
what port you plug into just done last time we checked out one of
tp-link's Deco units we had an issue where we weren't really able to use it
properly in our office because we already have a router set up for you
know our internet connection fortunately we do have a backup internet connection
but it's really really far away and so
we needed to build ourselves a nice long Ethernet cable so we could plug into
that modem directly unless we want to do a bunch of fancy reconfiguration of our
other router then someone took that cable
so today I get to make a new one but
that's fine I have this whole box ah of
cat6a cable ah
and this termination kit so I am going to terminate it
dang it this kit is not complete I do
not have side Cutters I will make it
work but um very rig everything knife to the rescue
yep lttstore.com baby that's right we
carry other creators merch now
oh balls I didn't put a boot on it well I guess that's not happening Moment of
Truth do we get signal
uh I know this is sponsored tp-link but
just a little bit of constructive feedback indicator LEDs have not gone
out of fashion on network ports look at that it's it does have an indicator LED
it's just on the front so that's good uh wait no that seems to just be
indicating a Readiness to do things nope
there's still no LED there but the good
news is we can actually set up our Deco now we have the x75 some variant in it
yes we have all of those things sure we powered off our modem
we plugged in our devices yes yes yes
yeah yeah yeah we definitely did that okay wait till it pulses blue
yes we are now looking for deco
finding Deco it's the sequel but there's no fish anymore because fish
weren't in fashion anymore bad movie but good Tech tip where have you placed this
deco ShortCircuit set
there was a crooked Linus and you think that cable's not connected
one only one is flashing but when you're plugging is flashing the other one's not
oh you said it the other one yeah I apparently set up this one well that's a
good thing to know uh try again
there you go all right so watch out for that the lights on the front indicate
what exactly that particular station is doing
uh you will have a much better password than this because you're not a big dumb
two of these is good for about 5 500 square feet of coverage with three being
for about 7 200 square feet of coverage
when I'm a little confused about is this
one has a green LED but what's the setup process for this boy
tell to connect I was probably just doing a little rebooty boot
found it connected there we go yep that was indeed what happened
one online client oh yeah they have their Home Shield Pro which includes
side well apparently intrusion prevention malicious content filtering
DDOS prevention and then they also mentioned parental controls
is this one just immediately working oh
cool well that was that uh this one's
gonna be in the uh uh living room
cool I'll I'll go I'll go put it there
nice firmware update time
come on
watch pot never boils so I'm gonna do this
it works don't you
asked ooh fast roaming wireless devices to
switch connection to different Echoes seamlessly may result in some older
wireless devices being disconnected probably should be fine if you have like
reasonably new stuff it's a pretty cool feature I want to do a speed test do you have
like a speed test in here I guess we should probably
help we'll find out how long it takes and I will eat chips because I haven't
had lunch today
foreign
oh wow that was actually really quick wow those hot chips are very hot though
we'll just use a third party speed test go
I don't even think this is Wi-Fi 60 device and 6E is not working in Canada
yet also that's not very fast
oh I got a little better towards the end there
oh that upload speed though okay
you know what the fact that we're uploading at 350 and downloading at 208
means the bottleneck is probably on the server side that's the issue with an
internet based speed test is that you can only be as fast as this oh aebc
internet who are even these guys I never use these guys for Speed okay well we're
over 300 now so it's clearly not a Wi-Fi issue what happens though if I move I I
mean yeah just just just turn it yeah just just turn it I don't even
okay so I'm gonna go I'm gonna go to the living room Deco style
into the darkness he goes
are you just gonna yell
yeah sort of
oh oh my upload speeds my upload speeds
tanking it's tanking oh oh I'm back on
the I'm back on this access point again I think oh it's going up there you go oh
it's all going up only towards the end there but you're gonna see it's gonna be
faster again here we go okay who are who is aepc you stop you
stop now the government of British Columbia you
can the government of British Columbia has a test server on here
all right BC gun oh wow 23 milliseconds gross I mean lots of bandwidth though
okay so can't confirm it did run back to the correct base station
all right go government of BC
over 400 megabits the point is with
multiple clients you can see speeds of over 2 gigabit per second to one of
these decos assuming of course remember remember this part that you get the pro
variant otherwise you're going to be limited by your gigabit Uplink and up to
574 megabits per second on the 2.4 gigahertz band also more importantly
where to check out The Deco XE 75 and 75
Pro you're going to find that link down below tp-link is running a couple of
specials you can get the regular xc75 2-pack for 249 and they're discounting
it even further to 219 with our offer code we'll have those details down below
and the Pro 2 pack is 299 but with 30
off with our promo code to 269 nice 99
