WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.920
This is not what I expected.

00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:02.680
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me get a little closer to you.

00:00:02.740 --> 00:00:04.340
Okay, when you talk, you gotta face me, Lance.

00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:05.620
Oh, sorry, Brandon. Sorry, Brandon.

00:00:05.780 --> 00:00:07.720
The upload's finally suffering a little bit.

00:00:07.780 --> 00:00:09.680
We've got three walls between us now.

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:12.580
Like, what? Do you want to see my Wi-Fi?

00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:14.040
Obsolete!

00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:17.040
At least, that's the goal.

00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:20.360
ASUS sponsored this video, and we're gonna be taking our first look

00:00:20.360 --> 00:00:22.880
at the Zen Wi-Fi Pro ET12.

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.620
The first empirical proof that I've seen

00:00:26.620 --> 00:00:30.280
that Wi-Fi has completely jumped the shark.

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:31.520
That's right, my friends.

00:00:31.740 --> 00:00:38.300
This is a $900 US wireless router.

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.740
Well, actually, there's two units.

00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:48.020
Wireless solution for handling anything from a bungalow

00:00:48.020 --> 00:00:52.140
all the way to a 6,000-square-foot residence.

00:00:52.620 --> 00:00:54.480
With just these two.

00:00:55.420 --> 00:00:56.340
Admittedly very attractive.

00:00:56.660 --> 00:00:58.380
Attractive base stations.

00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:00.610
$900.

00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:03.830
How could you justify that?

00:01:04.130 --> 00:01:05.010
It looks so cool.

00:01:05.070 --> 00:01:07.450
Oh, my God. Are those the antennas?

00:01:07.630 --> 00:01:07.870
Yep.

00:01:08.590 --> 00:01:11.270
Wow. Okay, that's kind of cool.

00:01:12.190 --> 00:01:14.110
Also, there's a lot of tech inside them.

00:01:14.370 --> 00:01:15.770
This is insane.

00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:20.670
I mean, part of the reason that it costs so much

00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:23.570
has got to be that they effectively just ship you two of them.

00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:26.760
Here, do you see these antennas, Andy?

00:01:27.440 --> 00:01:27.920
Antennae?

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:30.820
I can tell you part of the reason for the high price

00:01:30.820 --> 00:01:33.680
is that they literally ship you two of them.

00:01:34.570 --> 00:01:35.730
Can you buy it at one?

00:01:36.150 --> 00:01:37.030
Oh, it's a two-pack.

00:01:37.150 --> 00:01:39.470
That's the ET-12 is the two-pack.

00:01:39.870 --> 00:01:41.130
Two-pack is alive.

00:01:41.830 --> 00:01:42.810
You saw it here first.

00:01:43.150 --> 00:01:44.410
Oh, my God.

00:01:44.990 --> 00:01:46.010
It's an older meme.

00:01:46.150 --> 00:01:46.710
It's an older meme.

00:01:47.010 --> 00:01:48.410
Taken from us too young.

00:01:48.550 --> 00:01:50.270
I think we can all agree on that.

00:01:51.440 --> 00:01:53.980
All right, before we explain why you might need two of these,

00:01:53.980 --> 00:01:56.220
let's talk about why one of these base units

00:01:56.220 --> 00:01:58.180
might be worth about $450.

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.260
Starting at the back.

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.860
For wired technology, right out of the gate,

00:02:02.980 --> 00:02:04.740
it's better than your average wireless router

00:02:04.740 --> 00:02:07.040
having two 2.5-gig Ethernet ports.

00:02:07.260 --> 00:02:08.300
This is going to be great

00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:10.680
if you've got a greater-than-gigabit Internet connection,

00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:12.720
which I just got installed at my house,

00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:14.460
2.5-gig Internet inbound,

00:02:14.820 --> 00:02:17.640
or if you have a couple of key clients

00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:20.240
that might need to run at greater-than-gigabit speeds.

00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.340
Say, for example, if you had your main computer

00:02:23.340 --> 00:02:26.360
that you use as an editing station in your home office

00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.280
and a high-speed NAS

00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:28.620
that you use as an editing station in your home office,

00:02:28.620 --> 00:02:30.700
that you use to store high-resolution pictures

00:02:30.700 --> 00:02:32.560
or high-bitrate video.

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:34.320
It's got a couple more gigabit ports,

00:02:34.420 --> 00:02:39.140
all the usual power-in, WPS, on and off.

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:42.820
Does that just enable and disable, like, the whole unit?

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.220
Other than that, it's got a nice aesthetic,

00:02:45.380 --> 00:02:46.180
which I guess is cool,

00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.680
and of course, it is jam-packed full

00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.860
of the latest wireless technologies.

00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:52.820
So this isn't just Wi-Fi 6.

00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:56.220
This is Wi-Fi 6E, and that's a really big deal

00:02:56.220 --> 00:02:58.260
because while it's more of an evolutionary system,

00:02:58.260 --> 00:03:02.360
it's built on the same fundamentals as Wi-Fi 6.

00:03:02.540 --> 00:03:03.900
For you, the end user,

00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:06.400
it could actually be a bigger upgrade

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.460
compared to going from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6.

00:03:09.700 --> 00:03:11.300
When we went from 5 to 6,

00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:13.400
the biggest benefits were in households

00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.440
with many connected devices,

00:03:15.580 --> 00:03:17.500
whether that's a lot of users

00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:20.820
or whether that's a lot of IoT devices,

00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:24.340
smart locks, smart blinds, all of that kind of stuff,

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:26.600
because it allowed much more efficient use

00:03:26.600 --> 00:03:27.900
of the available spectrum.

00:03:27.900 --> 00:03:28.240
All right.

00:03:28.260 --> 00:03:29.760
It also adds new security features

00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:31.180
and all that kind of good stuff.

00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:34.000
But where Wi-Fi 6E changes the game

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.360
is it's actually adding more spectrum.

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:36.940
That's right.

00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:40.320
6 gigahertz is finally here.

00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.200
So we've had tri-band routers before,

00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:48.020
2.4, and then in most cases, dual 5 gigahertz bands.

00:03:48.260 --> 00:03:53.700
But this tri-band router is 2.4, 5, and 6 gigahertz.

00:03:53.940 --> 00:03:55.700
And what's cool about 6 gigahertz

00:03:55.700 --> 00:03:58.240
is not only will it never be cluttered,

00:03:58.260 --> 00:04:01.260
but it's also going to get cluttered up by legacy devices.

00:04:01.260 --> 00:04:04.500
So this is entirely fresh spectrum

00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:06.760
for those new devices to communicate on,

00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:11.260
but it's also way wider than what we had before

00:04:11.260 --> 00:04:12.500
in the first place,

00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:14.880
which isn't to say that it doesn't come

00:04:14.880 --> 00:04:16.580
with some disadvantages.

00:04:16.580 --> 00:04:19.020
Because the frequency is even higher

00:04:19.020 --> 00:04:20.380
than what we had before,

00:04:20.380 --> 00:04:22.880
yes, you might see a really nice speed benefit.

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:23.880
On a supported client,

00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:25.880
though admittedly there aren't many yet,

00:04:25.880 --> 00:04:28.140
you could easily see throughput in excess of 1 gigabit per second,

00:04:28.140 --> 00:04:30.520
and even to multiple clients.

00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:32.320
This features a 4x4 design

00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:35.260
on both the 5 gigahertz and 6 gigahertz bands,

00:04:35.260 --> 00:04:37.540
but it does come with a drawback.

00:04:37.540 --> 00:04:39.240
So remember how 5 gigahertz

00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.340
didn't have the same kind of range

00:04:41.340 --> 00:04:43.860
and penetration power of 2.4 gigahertz

00:04:43.860 --> 00:04:45.300
because the frequency is higher?

00:04:45.300 --> 00:04:47.580
Well, 6 gigahertz is higher again.

00:04:47.580 --> 00:04:49.540
So you're gonna get that lightning fast speed

00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:50.740
and lower latency,

00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:53.780
but it will come at some cost in terms of range.

00:04:53.780 --> 00:04:56.080
And I think really that

00:04:56.080 --> 00:04:57.620
is where a lot of the value add

00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:59.820
of a package like this comes in.

00:04:59.820 --> 00:05:02.220
ASUS is acknowledging that the kind of person

00:05:02.220 --> 00:05:05.660
buying a premium wireless access point like this one

00:05:05.660 --> 00:05:08.980
may want that kind of speed across their entire domicile,

00:05:08.980 --> 00:05:10.180
or I mean, realistically,

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:12.500
you could use a product like this in a small business

00:05:12.500 --> 00:05:13.640
if you really wanted to.

00:05:13.640 --> 00:05:15.800
And that's what makes this product really cool.

00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.500
So because both of them have dual 2.5 gigabit ports,

00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:22.900
what you can do is you can actually configure it

00:05:22.900 --> 00:05:24.240
a number of ways.

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:25.820
You could say, okay, hey,

00:05:25.820 --> 00:05:27.120
I want my modem

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.740
to plug into this one,

00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:30.960
and I'm gonna put this over at the other side of my house,

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:33.400
and I'm going to have a bunch of devices

00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:34.480
connected to this one,

00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:35.840
a bunch connected to this one,

00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:38.240
and I'm gonna use a dedicated wireless backhaul

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:39.080
between them.

00:05:39.080 --> 00:05:40.320
That's cool, that's great,

00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:41.840
but it means more hops,

00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:44.000
which means more latency for any devices

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.920
that are connected through the second access point.

00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:48.860
What you can also do

00:05:48.860 --> 00:05:52.120
is create a dedicated wired backhaul between them,

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.220
which is a lot closer to what you would do

00:05:54.220 --> 00:05:55.800
in a commercial environment.

00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:56.400
So you can actually,

00:05:56.400 --> 00:05:59.520
you can actually get full speed

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:02.570
on every wireless device

00:06:02.570 --> 00:06:06.120
that is connected to either of them.

00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:07.040
Pretty sick.

00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:07.960
Speaking of hardware,

00:06:07.960 --> 00:06:09.640
each of these units has a two gigahertz

00:06:09.640 --> 00:06:12.790
quad core ARM V8 processor inside.

00:06:12.790 --> 00:06:13.630
Like that's the thing,

00:06:13.630 --> 00:06:16.650
it's really the main benefit of a product like this

00:06:16.650 --> 00:06:20.850
is gonna be connecting many devices.

00:06:20.850 --> 00:06:25.030
ASUS sent over internal shots of it.

00:06:25.030 --> 00:06:27.530
That is so cool.

00:06:27.530 --> 00:06:28.370
There's some other software,

00:06:28.370 --> 00:06:29.250
features to talk about.

00:06:29.250 --> 00:06:32.830
Obviously it uses ASUS's extremely robust web UI,

00:06:32.830 --> 00:06:34.430
and they've got a cool VPN feature

00:06:34.430 --> 00:06:36.410
that allows you to VPN through

00:06:36.410 --> 00:06:38.390
your own home internet connection,

00:06:38.390 --> 00:06:39.670
no matter where you are,

00:06:39.670 --> 00:06:43.070
which means you don't have to even trust a VPN company

00:06:43.070 --> 00:06:43.910
with your data,

00:06:43.910 --> 00:06:45.410
and ASUS would have no access to it,

00:06:45.410 --> 00:06:46.550
which is pretty cool.

00:06:46.550 --> 00:06:47.930
And my laptop just booted up.

00:06:47.930 --> 00:06:51.250
Let's see, do I have a Wi-Fi 6E chipset in here?

00:06:51.250 --> 00:06:52.750
All right, all right, hello.

00:06:52.750 --> 00:06:55.050
Yeah, I'm just Wi-Fi 6, not Wi-Fi 6E.

00:06:55.050 --> 00:06:56.690
And that's something to note.

00:06:56.690 --> 00:06:57.370
If you wanna take advantage of Wi-Fi 6E,

00:06:57.370 --> 00:06:58.370
and you wanna take advantage of Wi-Fi 6E,

00:06:58.370 --> 00:06:59.210
and you wanna take advantage of Wi-Fi 6E,

00:06:59.210 --> 00:07:01.670
so the actual six gigahertz band,

00:07:01.670 --> 00:07:02.590
you're gonna need a device

00:07:02.590 --> 00:07:04.410
that was built from the ground up for it.

00:07:04.410 --> 00:07:05.990
It's not just a firmware

00:07:05.990 --> 00:07:08.910
that you can flash onto your old Wi-Fi 6 devices.

00:07:08.910 --> 00:07:10.690
But that's a feature, not a bug.

00:07:10.690 --> 00:07:11.710
Cause like I said before,

00:07:11.710 --> 00:07:13.650
it means that your Wi-Fi 6E devices

00:07:13.650 --> 00:07:17.290
will not be sharing any of that airtime

00:07:17.290 --> 00:07:19.370
with older legacy devices.

00:07:19.370 --> 00:07:22.250
Man, 6E is gonna be just such a godsend

00:07:22.250 --> 00:07:25.010
for people living that apartment life.

00:07:25.010 --> 00:07:27.490
Like you don't probably realize

00:07:27.490 --> 00:07:28.570
how much your neighbors,

00:07:28.570 --> 00:07:32.610
just having a bunch of wireless gear kicking around

00:07:32.610 --> 00:07:34.650
is affecting not just the throughput,

00:07:34.650 --> 00:07:37.770
but most importantly, the latency of your wireless gear

00:07:37.770 --> 00:07:40.190
and the consistency of your connection.

00:07:40.190 --> 00:07:43.300
So if you're trying to do something like stream video,

00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:45.200
I would expect to be able to do it

00:07:45.200 --> 00:07:47.100
at least until 6E gets super crowded.

00:07:47.100 --> 00:07:48.640
Though that should take a really long time.

00:07:48.640 --> 00:07:53.040
I mean, we get seven more 160 megahertz channels.

00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.980
Like that's fricking insane.

00:07:55.980 --> 00:07:57.100
Well, hey, in the meantime,

00:07:57.100 --> 00:07:57.940
why don't we,

00:07:57.940 --> 00:07:59.360
why don't we get this powered up?

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:00.900
What's their setup process like?

00:08:00.900 --> 00:08:01.740
Oh, cute.

00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:03.560
It's got like RGB lights in the top.

00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:04.480
Check that out.

00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:05.320
Oh wow.

00:08:05.320 --> 00:08:06.140
It's it.

00:08:06.140 --> 00:08:06.980
Okay.

00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:08.900
It does not look like it's flickering like that in person.

00:08:08.900 --> 00:08:10.100
Okay.

00:08:10.100 --> 00:08:12.720
When it goes here.

00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:13.560
Uh, I don't know.

00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:14.600
Andy, you want to come with me?

00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:18.400
Our internet box is over here.

00:08:18.400 --> 00:08:19.300
Hey boys.

00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:20.140
Hello.

00:08:20.140 --> 00:08:21.980
Is this the longest cable we got?

00:08:21.980 --> 00:08:22.820
Yeah.

00:08:22.820 --> 00:08:24.880
I just have to hit that TELUS box.

00:08:25.780 --> 00:08:26.700
Yeah, right there.

00:08:26.700 --> 00:08:27.540
Oh.

00:08:28.900 --> 00:08:29.740
Gosh, darn it.

00:08:29.740 --> 00:08:30.560
Okay.

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.360
Where's our longest cable then?

00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:33.640
Oh, that?

00:08:33.640 --> 00:08:34.760
Yeah, that's what we got.

00:08:34.760 --> 00:08:36.760
That does not look longer than what I have.

00:08:36.760 --> 00:08:40.260
All the other ones are at your house.

00:08:40.260 --> 00:08:41.100
Yes.

00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:44.020
Okay.

00:08:44.020 --> 00:08:45.880
Well, let's make the trek again.

00:08:47.940 --> 00:08:49.140
And I ran out.

00:08:49.140 --> 00:08:51.060
This one is even shorter.

00:08:51.060 --> 00:08:52.240
Okay.

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.620
It's coupler time.

00:08:56.620 --> 00:08:57.460
Oh good.

00:08:57.460 --> 00:08:58.640
Yes.

00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:00.940
I need a coupler for Ethernet.

00:09:00.940 --> 00:09:01.780
Oh boy.

00:09:01.780 --> 00:09:02.720
Yes, I know that's not best practice.

00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:03.660
Oh good.

00:09:03.820 --> 00:09:04.660
But damn.

00:09:04.660 --> 00:09:05.480
I don't know.

00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.120
I would never.

00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:09.760
I've always got to keep some goodies for myself.

00:09:09.760 --> 00:09:11.520
I haven't hounded him about his shelf in a while.

00:09:11.520 --> 00:09:12.600
Back, back.

00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:13.660
Clearly in some hounding.

00:09:13.660 --> 00:09:14.500
Back I say.

00:09:14.500 --> 00:09:17.060
Do you want your data back or what?

00:09:17.060 --> 00:09:19.320
Jake's working on the vault recovery still.

00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.180
Actually, it's going really well.

00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:23.680
Massive shout out Wendell, by the way.

00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:28.380
From Level One Techs.

00:09:28.380 --> 00:09:31.360
What are the odds this is going to work?

00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:32.200
Hundred percent.

00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:33.220
Hundred percent.

00:09:33.220 --> 00:09:37.380
Yeah, I don't think so, Andy.

00:09:37.380 --> 00:09:38.610
Come on.

00:09:38.610 --> 00:09:39.890
Come on, come on, come on, come on.

00:09:39.890 --> 00:09:40.730
Oh, perfect.

00:09:40.770 --> 00:09:41.950
It works.

00:09:41.950 --> 00:09:44.810
Never use admin and password, please guys.

00:09:44.810 --> 00:09:46.290
Do as I say, not as I do.

00:09:46.290 --> 00:09:48.250
Login password is too weak.

00:09:48.250 --> 00:09:50.260
Oh wait, it still let me do it.

00:09:50.260 --> 00:09:51.100
That'd be great.

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:54.740
If a guy just like popped out of the box was like weak.

00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:55.700
Apparently out of the box,

00:09:55.700 --> 00:09:57.840
it's configured for six gigahertz backhaul,

00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.340
which makes a ton of sense.

00:09:59.340 --> 00:10:01.180
Most people go wireless

00:10:01.180 --> 00:10:03.860
because they don't want to run wires through their home.

00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:06.120
But if it was me, man,

00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:07.800
I would find a way to run that wire

00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:09.500
because your Wi-Fi experience

00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:12.500
is going to be fricking amazing.

00:10:12.500 --> 00:10:14.480
Although you wouldn't have to do it immediately, right?

00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.700
Like you could run six gigahertz backhaul for now

00:10:16.700 --> 00:10:18.160
while you don't have any devices

00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:19.180
that can connect to it anyway.

00:10:19.180 --> 00:10:20.460
And then you can run your wire later

00:10:20.460 --> 00:10:23.220
once you actually feel like you need the extra speed.

00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:24.060
Oh, there it is.

00:10:24.060 --> 00:10:25.320
Extra slow showed up first.

00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:26.460
How ironic.

00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:29.070
Well, why don't we start with 2.4?

00:10:29.070 --> 00:10:30.890
This is a gigabit internet connection.

00:10:30.890 --> 00:10:34.660
So make of that what you will.

00:10:34.660 --> 00:10:36.520
Obviously this is not the most scientific way

00:10:36.520 --> 00:10:39.720
to do a wireless speed test, but.

00:10:40.340 --> 00:10:42.800
In fact, I'm probably even too close to it.

00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:44.160
Hi, YouTube.

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:45.000
It should be noted.

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:50.000
We have a ton of RF junk in here.

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:52.740
So if there's anywhere that I would expect

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:55.320
this new six gigahertz band to make a difference,

00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.540
it would be in this office.

00:10:57.540 --> 00:11:02.540
Yeah, Linus fast is not showing up here.

00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:05.040
Linus slow is pretty fast.

00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:06.100
So that's cool.

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:08.320
Dang.

00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:09.580
All right then.

00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:10.580
Just shy of eight.

00:11:10.660 --> 00:11:13.480
A hundred megabit down.

00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.300
Looking at around, wow.

00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:16.780
Just wow.

00:11:16.780 --> 00:11:17.620
Okay.

00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:20.000
So Linus slow, pretty fast.

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:21.180
I'm confused though.

00:11:21.180 --> 00:11:24.940
I don't know why I can't see Linus fast here.

00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:27.320
I'm gonna see if there's any firmware updates or anything.

00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:28.420
Oh, this is as good a time as any

00:11:28.420 --> 00:11:30.980
to poke around ASUS's dashboard here.

00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:32.580
So they've got their AI mesh,

00:11:32.580 --> 00:11:35.760
which allows you to use multiple ASUS routers

00:11:35.760 --> 00:11:38.080
as a mesh Wi-Fi system.

00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:38.920
It's really cool.

00:11:38.920 --> 00:11:40.620
It's a really neat way to bring forward.

00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:43.220
Your older devices and still get use out of them.

00:11:43.220 --> 00:11:45.200
Especially if you have a larger home.

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.360
Their AI protection, blocking malicious sites

00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.660
and cool stuff like that.

00:11:50.660 --> 00:11:52.680
Their parental controls were not amazing

00:11:52.680 --> 00:11:54.780
last time we tried them.

00:11:54.780 --> 00:11:56.700
Really good analysis tools though.

00:11:56.700 --> 00:11:58.960
You can see traffic and clients

00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:00.680
and what apps are being used

00:12:00.680 --> 00:12:02.240
and stuff like that on your home network.

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:03.660
Especially if you have a family

00:12:03.660 --> 00:12:05.080
that can be very useful.

00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:05.920
Firmware update.

00:12:05.920 --> 00:12:06.820
Here we go.

00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:08.460
Okay. Let's check.

00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:10.340
It's the latest version.

00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:11.180
Hold on a second.

00:12:11.180 --> 00:12:12.000
I'm gonna double check

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.700
and make sure this is actually a 6E client then.

00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:17.860
Wi-Fi 6E, AX211.

00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:18.700
Line is fast.

00:12:18.700 --> 00:12:20.220
Not here.

00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:22.260
Well, I'm not gonna lie.

00:12:22.260 --> 00:12:24.500
I am at a total loss here guys.

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:25.340
Okay.

00:12:25.340 --> 00:12:26.760
Yeah. I can't.

00:12:26.760 --> 00:12:28.560
I can't connect.

00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:30.800
It's been a month during which time we figured out

00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:33.920
there are some issues around Wi-Fi 6E,

00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:36.540
six gigahertz and Canada.

00:12:36.540 --> 00:12:39.500
So magic.

00:12:39.500 --> 00:12:40.880
We are now connected at six gigahertz.

00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:43.160
And I am ready to do my speed test.

00:12:43.160 --> 00:12:44.420
By the way, while this is running,

00:12:44.420 --> 00:12:45.840
shout out Rothstein.

00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:47.440
It's a bit of a belated happy birthday,

00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:48.340
but in my defense,

00:12:48.340 --> 00:12:50.440
this video was delayed by factors

00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:51.800
that were outside of my control.

00:12:51.800 --> 00:12:54.420
Fortunately, nothing about this internet is delayed.

00:12:54.420 --> 00:12:57.440
That is gigabit freaking speeds over wireless,

00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:58.460
ladies and gentlemen.

00:12:58.460 --> 00:12:59.300
Look, I'll prove it.

00:12:59.300 --> 00:13:00.620
I'm gonna unplug this wire.

00:13:00.620 --> 00:13:01.720
Oh my God. It's dead.

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.560
Oh my God.

00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:03.560
This page has so many ads on it.

00:13:03.560 --> 00:13:07.220
The point is look ma, no wires.

00:13:07.220 --> 00:13:09.300
I want Wi-Fi 6E all to myself.

00:13:09.300 --> 00:13:10.660
I mean, I guess that's the point isn't it?

00:13:10.660 --> 00:13:12.260
You don't have to share.

00:13:12.260 --> 00:13:14.840
This is crazy.

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:19.200
Full line gigabit speeds just about wirelessly.

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:20.500
Man, I want to change the server.

00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:23.180
There's a, man, what's that really good one locally?

00:13:23.180 --> 00:13:25.020
Yeah, no, urban fiber is not better today.

00:13:25.020 --> 00:13:26.320
I mean, I can go a little farther away

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:31.240
cause I'm imagining six gigahertz is not gonna do that great.

00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:32.800
Oh crap.

00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:35.300
I mean, it's not super scientific.

00:13:35.300 --> 00:13:36.800
We're gonna have a lab for that soon.

00:13:36.800 --> 00:13:38.280
Here, do you want to show how far away we are?

00:13:38.280 --> 00:13:39.840
How many bananas is it?

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:40.680
Boy.

00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.540
They're not a measure of distance.

00:13:43.540 --> 00:13:45.400
They're a measure of size, Jono.

00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:47.980
And you can check them out on lttstore.com.

00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:50.460
Anyway, the point is we're gonna kinda, I don't know.

00:13:50.460 --> 00:13:51.940
Let's go on the other side of a wall.

00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:53.340
You know, let's see.

00:13:53.340 --> 00:13:56.680
Is it gonna just completely get annihilated by one wall?

00:13:58.110 --> 00:13:58.950
Nope.

00:13:58.950 --> 00:13:59.790
Okay.

00:13:59.790 --> 00:14:01.530
Well, let's go find another wall then.

00:14:01.530 --> 00:14:02.430
Oh, okay.

00:14:02.430 --> 00:14:04.990
This is not what I expected.

00:14:04.990 --> 00:14:08.130
We are now have a good solid couple of walls between us

00:14:08.130 --> 00:14:11.250
and we are still doing nearly 900 megabit per second.

00:14:11.250 --> 00:14:12.210
Brandon, can you navigate?

00:14:12.230 --> 00:14:13.070
Can you navigate this?

00:14:13.070 --> 00:14:15.730
Going on a little voyage of discovery here.

00:14:15.730 --> 00:14:16.570
Okay.

00:14:16.570 --> 00:14:17.410
When you talk, you gotta face me, Linus.

00:14:17.410 --> 00:14:18.250
Oh, sorry, Brandon.

00:14:18.250 --> 00:14:19.090
Sorry, Brandon.

00:14:19.090 --> 00:14:20.190
I'm going behind the sets.

00:14:20.190 --> 00:14:21.010
Okay.

00:14:21.010 --> 00:14:21.850
All right.

00:14:21.850 --> 00:14:23.450
We got three walls and we finally dropped.

00:14:23.450 --> 00:14:24.290
Oh, okay.

00:14:24.290 --> 00:14:25.130
It's still.

00:14:25.130 --> 00:14:25.970
Linus, face me.

00:14:25.970 --> 00:14:26.810
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

00:14:26.810 --> 00:14:27.650
Okay.

00:14:27.650 --> 00:14:28.950
This is also better than I was.

00:14:28.950 --> 00:14:32.410
I was hoping to show that it would like suck after a bit.

00:14:32.410 --> 00:14:34.530
Cause like six gigahertz or whatever.

00:14:34.530 --> 00:14:35.370
Yeah.

00:14:35.370 --> 00:14:37.330
That's the uploads finally suffering a little bit.

00:14:37.330 --> 00:14:40.110
We've got three walls between us now.

00:14:40.110 --> 00:14:41.470
But that download though.

00:14:43.570 --> 00:14:45.850
Brandon, do you need help?

00:14:45.850 --> 00:14:46.690
Do you need help, Brandon?

00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:47.530
I'm good.

00:14:47.530 --> 00:14:49.200
I'm good.

00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.600
Do you want to see my Wi-Fi?

00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:51.600
Your Wi-Fi?

00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.260
It's Wi-Fi 6E and it's really fast.

00:14:54.260 --> 00:14:56.340
It's like way over on the ShortCircuit set.

00:14:56.340 --> 00:14:57.840
Who needs cable?

00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:59.500
Well, okay.

00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:02.400
No, there's still a value to wire.

00:15:02.400 --> 00:15:03.580
Stop.

00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:05.020
He knows better.

00:15:05.020 --> 00:15:06.260
Face me, Linus.

00:15:06.260 --> 00:15:07.260
Sorry, sorry, sorry.

00:15:07.260 --> 00:15:09.060
I'm going all the way to the thing.

00:15:09.060 --> 00:15:10.340
Oh, hey, sup, Dan.

00:15:10.340 --> 00:15:11.180
Look at this guy.

00:15:11.180 --> 00:15:12.760
He's like, oh, I'm working.

00:15:12.760 --> 00:15:13.760
Did we finally lose it?

00:15:13.760 --> 00:15:14.440
We finally lost it.

00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:17.430
That's pretty darn good.

00:15:17.430 --> 00:15:20.390
Just like we lost this sponsorship with ASUS.

00:15:20.390 --> 00:15:22.810
Now that we're showing it failing at the end of the video.

00:15:22.810 --> 00:15:23.730
Ha ha, just kidding.

00:15:23.730 --> 00:15:25.090
Thanks ASUS for sponsoring this video.

00:15:25.090 --> 00:15:27.450
