WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.819 The Deco xc75 from tp-link who sponsored 00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:11.639 this video Promises to solve your Wi-Fi problems and no wait wait the the time 00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:13.920 it actually might it's available in 00:00:11.639 --> 00:00:17.520 either a two or three pack and allows you to quickly and easily with their app 00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:22.859 which I've actually used on multiple occasions set up a mesh Wi-Fi network in 00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:29.340 your home or small business but what makes this pack truly special is that it 00:00:25.380 --> 00:00:32.640 uses the new Wi-Fi 6E standard and this 00:00:29.340 --> 00:00:35.399 isn't some little speed bump or you know 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:40.440 oh you could have even wider channels but uh 00:00:36.980 --> 00:00:44.820 good luck actually utilizing them Wi-Fi 00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:47.879 6E opens up an entirely new range of six 00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:51.239 gigahertz Spectrum on top of also 00:00:47.879 --> 00:00:53.039 allowing 160 megahertz channels making 00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:58.320 it perfect for things like video streaming high bandwidth file transfers 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 00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:08.460 either in the regular xc75 or the xc75 00:01:04.739 --> 00:01:12.360 pro and the only real difference is that 00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:15.060 the regular xc75 has three gigabit ports 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 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 00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:30.659 connected to this thing which well you very well could because tp-link rates it 00:01:27.299 --> 00:01:32.700 for up to 200 clients one of the cool 00:01:30.659 --> 00:01:37.619 things about their Deco system is that there's no main base station they're all 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:41.759 identical which means that when you're setting it up you don't have to worry 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 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 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 00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:58.500 AI driven and can actually reconfigure itself on the Fly depending on what's 00:01:56.759 --> 00:02:02.700 going to work best for your home if I recall correctly Brandon is actually 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 00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:11.340 extreme Tech upgrade not really a whole lot to see here which is good because 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 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 00:02:17.940 --> 00:02:24.480 big UFO shaped things on the ceiling especially given that I was changing out 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 00:02:26.459 --> 00:02:33.120 that had those big ceiling cassettes 00:02:29.459 --> 00:02:35.459 not good these can go anywhere you've 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 00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.739 via Ethernet where your internet connection comes into your house be it 00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:46.319 cable ADSL fiber or whatever the case 00:02:43.739 --> 00:02:53.040 may be some new technology that you watching in the year 2034 will know 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:56.040 about but I don't 00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:58.560 what never take this for granted okay 00:02:56.040 --> 00:03:01.980 easy to access reset switch on wireless equipment 00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:06.540 it's good to have not that I think it'll screw up the configuration process 00:03:04.860 --> 00:03:10.860 step the first download the app 00:03:08.940 --> 00:03:14.580 okay well we've already done that because it's already set up on this 00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:18.540 iPhone for me thanks Belle uh turn off your modem required remove the battery 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 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 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 00:03:28.140 --> 00:03:33.599 it interwebs yeah ah ah wonderful wait 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 00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:43.739 freaking amazing so depending on the country I think Europe is getting about 00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:47.819 500 megahertz of spectrum and much of the rest of the world is actually 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:55.560 getting more like 1200 megahertz Wi-Fi 6E opens up a completely as of now 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:57.480 unused chunk of spectrum that is very 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 00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:08.940 great about it is absolutely nothing else is using it so your microwave which 00:04:06.659 --> 00:04:14.640 can interfere with 2.4 gigahertz or your stupid Sony surround speaker system that 00:04:12.900 --> 00:04:20.160 interferes with your five gigahertz Wi-Fi none of that can interfere with 00:04:17.760 --> 00:04:24.060 six gigahertz it's a blank tank slate right now which means that unlike 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:30.900 previous versions of Wi-Fi whether it's 2.4 or 5 gigahertz where theoretically 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:34.800 yeah you could go for 40 megahertz wide 00:04:30.900 --> 00:04:37.620 band or 80 megahertz unlike those you 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:42.780 actually could use those super super wide bands for super high transfer 00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:48.900 speeds and not necessarily be just stomping all over the Wi-Fi access of 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:49.919 your pets and neighbors for now I'm sure 00:04:48.900 --> 00:04:54.780 it's going to get cluttered up eventually but if you are an early 00:04:52.620 --> 00:04:59.820 adopter of Wi-Fi 60 it's gonna be a pretty sweet time not 00:04:57.479 --> 00:05:04.259 every device supports Wi-Fi 6C you are going to need devices that do explicitly 00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:08.520 support it and your country actually has to turn on support otherwise it is not 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 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:18.419 because nothing else is on it it's like driving on the highway by yourself 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 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 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:33.180 what port you plug into just done last time we checked out one of 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 00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:41.880 properly in our office because we already have a router set up for you 00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:46.740 know our internet connection fortunately we do have a backup internet connection 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:48.960 but it's really really far away and so 00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:52.620 we needed to build ourselves a nice long Ethernet cable so we could plug into 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:56.940 that modem directly unless we want to do a bunch of fancy reconfiguration of our 00:05:54.780 --> 00:06:01.560 other router then someone took that cable 00:05:58.320 --> 00:06:05.580 so today I get to make a new one but 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:09.240 that's fine I have this whole box ah of 00:06:05.580 --> 00:06:12.120 cat6a cable ah 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:18.180 and this termination kit so I am going to terminate it 00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:21.840 dang it this kit is not complete I do 00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:23.940 not have side Cutters I will make it 00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:29.220 work but um very rig everything knife to the rescue 00:06:26.100 --> 00:06:33.139 yep lttstore.com baby that's right we 00:06:29.220 --> 00:06:33.139 carry other creators merch now 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 00:06:38.580 --> 00:06:47.280 Truth do we get signal 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:48.960 uh I know this is sponsored tp-link but 00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:55.380 just a little bit of constructive feedback indicator LEDs have not gone 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 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 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:09.660 indicating a Readiness to do things nope 00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:12.539 there's still no LED there but the good 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 00:07:16.259 --> 00:07:26.780 yes we have all of those things sure we powered off our modem 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:26.780 we plugged in our devices yes yes yes 00:07:26.940 --> 00:07:33.419 yeah yeah yeah we definitely did that okay wait till it pulses blue 00:07:31.380 --> 00:07:38.759 yes we are now looking for deco 00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:43.979 finding Deco it's the sequel but there's no fish anymore because fish 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:47.520 weren't in fashion anymore bad movie but good Tech tip where have you placed this 00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:53.460 deco ShortCircuit set 00:07:50.520 --> 00:07:57.780 there was a crooked Linus and you think that cable's not connected 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 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 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.979 good thing to know uh try again 00:08:07.080 --> 00:08:13.680 there you go all right so watch out for that the lights on the front indicate 00:08:11.819 --> 00:08:16.620 what exactly that particular station is doing 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 00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:27.319 two of these is good for about 5 500 square feet of coverage with three being 00:08:22.979 --> 00:08:27.319 for about 7 200 square feet of coverage 00:08:28.379 --> 00:08:33.959 when I'm a little confused about is this 00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:37.020 one has a green LED but what's the setup process for this boy 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:40.700 tell to connect I was probably just doing a little rebooty boot 00:08:40.979 --> 00:08:47.519 found it connected there we go yep that was indeed what happened 00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:51.180 one online client oh yeah they have their Home Shield Pro which includes 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:54.959 side well apparently intrusion prevention malicious content filtering 00:08:52.980 --> 00:08:59.640 DDOS prevention and then they also mentioned parental controls 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:05.640 is this one just immediately working oh 00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:09.779 cool well that was that uh this one's 00:09:05.640 --> 00:09:14.040 gonna be in the uh uh living room 00:09:09.779 --> 00:09:15.600 cool I'll I'll go I'll go put it there 00:09:14.040 --> 00:09:18.560 nice firmware update time 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.540 come on 00:09:24.839 --> 00:09:31.440 watch pot never boils so I'm gonna do this 00:09:28.140 --> 00:09:32.760 it works don't you 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:36.899 asked ooh fast roaming wireless devices to 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:40.820 switch connection to different Echoes seamlessly may result in some older 00:09:38.940 --> 00:09:45.420 wireless devices being disconnected probably should be fine if you have like 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 00:09:48.060 --> 00:09:52.640 like a speed test in here I guess we should probably 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 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.980 had lunch today 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.100 foreign 00:10:06.660 --> 00:10:14.160 oh wow that was actually really quick wow those hot chips are very hot though 00:10:11.700 --> 00:10:17.060 we'll just use a third party speed test go 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 00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:25.580 yet also that's not very fast 00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:31.140 oh I got a little better towards the end there 00:10:29.220 --> 00:10:33.660 oh that upload speed though okay 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:37.980 you know what the fact that we're uploading at 350 and downloading at 208 00:10:36.180 --> 00:10:42.360 means the bottleneck is probably on the server side that's the issue with an 00:10:40.380 --> 00:10:48.000 internet based speed test is that you can only be as fast as this oh aebc 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 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 00:10:56.640 --> 00:11:02.160 mean yeah just just just turn it yeah just just turn it I don't even 00:11:01.079 --> 00:11:10.100 okay so I'm gonna go I'm gonna go to the living room Deco style 00:11:06.839 --> 00:11:13.640 into the darkness he goes 00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:13.640 are you just gonna yell 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.620 yeah sort of 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:38.459 oh oh my upload speeds my upload speeds 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:40.320 tanking it's tanking oh oh I'm back on 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 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 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:52.920 faster again here we go okay who are who is aepc you stop you 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:56.579 stop now the government of British Columbia you 00:11:54.660 --> 00:12:02.399 can the government of British Columbia has a test server on here 00:11:59.459 --> 00:12:07.019 all right BC gun oh wow 23 milliseconds gross I mean lots of bandwidth though 00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:11.760 okay so can't confirm it did run back to the correct base station 00:12:08.760 --> 00:12:15.120 all right go government of BC 00:12:11.760 --> 00:12:17.160 over 400 megabits the point is with 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:21.360 multiple clients you can see speeds of over 2 gigabit per second to one of 00:12:19.380 --> 00:12:25.200 these decos assuming of course remember remember this part that you get the pro 00:12:23.640 --> 00:12:31.140 variant otherwise you're going to be limited by your gigabit Uplink and up to 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:37.140 574 megabits per second on the 2.4 gigahertz band also more importantly 00:12:33.540 --> 00:12:38.880 where to check out The Deco XE 75 and 75 00:12:37.140 --> 00:12:43.620 Pro you're going to find that link down below tp-link is running a couple of 00:12:40.680 --> 00:12:49.260 specials you can get the regular xc75 2-pack for
