it's my favorite time of year again everyone today is the day that we get
new Wi-Fi from ubiquity baby it's time to
get faster Wi-Fi introducing I mean I'm
a little late to the party on this I think these have been out for like a month but I don't care this is the
ubiquity E7 Enterprise 7 Wi-Fi 7 holy
crap access point and this is supposed
to be the gosh darn fastest dang thing in the whole dang universe
Ah that's Wi-Fi I'm gonna get out ahead
on this one and say ubiquity I love you guys I I don't like the new naming
scheme you had the UniFi 6 Enterprise
which was very easy to understand and then for this new generation you're like
this is the E7 it's not the Enterprise 7 it's the E7 well why does it say
Enterprise right there huh they keep changing their Namy schemes like with
every product launch and I honestly it's just like come on kid figure out what
you're gonna do if you're GNA be like apple be like apple and just
just leave it there okay there's our access point there look at that it's a
square it's still the same like soft touch white plastic so if you're
installing these access points please God leave the plastic on until you're
actually done cuz once you get fingerprints on this stuff that
does not come off I'm honestly I'm going to put this back on here so I don't just
murder this thing you've got the mount with the billion different holes that
come in these things for all the different things that you can mount it to you might notice that this looks like
the the same as their other access points despite this becoming a square uh
it's the same Mount so if you were going to you know you have hundreds of APs
already deployed with these mounts you don't have to worry about changing this
out you can just pop it off and then pop the new square ones on assuming you like
spending money there's the like backing ring thing I've used these for drop
sealing mounting these APS before and then speaking of drop seiling here is
the drop ceiling mount thing from what I understand the reason for the change in
shape is mostly due to the fact that they just have a lot more heat to
dissipate this Wireless a point also has
one Ethernet Jack it has two Ethernet
Jacks that's pretty cool right and not
only does it have two Ethernet Jacks it has two Ethernet Jacks for like a good
reason so you have your main 10 gabit
I'm not joking this has a 10 gbit input
that's PoE+ plus and then you have a separate gigabit input that's also PoE
Plus+ that's meant for high availability so if you a switch go down or you know a
whole network go down or whatever you can have the second Port plugged into a
different setup and then your APS don't go down they're trying to have a product
that's actually like Enterprise here now I did ask you can't use this as a bridge
port at least not right now if you're curious how the mount works you screw it
in and then assuming Pretend This is a wall you know you kind of twist it and
then it's locked in there is the little lock tool so you just poke that in the
hole it pushes the lock up and it comes off easy peasy well
naturally since this is a 10 gbit PoE
access point when you got to start asking the question well ubiquity you don't have a 10 gigb PoE
switch yeah they do man this is a double unboxing I like this this is the switch
Enterprise campus 24 PoE I did a short
circuit on their campus aggregation which is a 100 Gig capable switch I
mentioned in the ShortCircuit I think
that these switches were coming and come they have this is a large network switch
and I I can understand why it's got 10 gabit RJ45 10 gig we're talking here
that's PoE but it's not just PoE+ plus
like this AP needs because there are
other APS in this lineup it's not an access point but a switch the flex 2.5
gig PoE it's a 9ish port switch it has
eight 2.5 gig PoE Plus+ outputs and then
it has a 10 gig PoE Plus+ plus input so
that switch can get 90 watts of PoE from this switch and then that gives it a 76
watt PoE output budget which means you can run one of these chunking APS that
does like 50 watts of power uh off of it
and then also have other devices like a couple security cameras or something like that now let's look at this switch
this this bad girl right here my friends
every single goddamn port on this switch is PoE+ Plus+ do the math that's a lot
of power technically you can't do 90 Watts on all the ports at the same time
because uh you know you did the math and that doesn't actually make sense but in
theory this switch can do 1,50 watts of PoE assuming you have the correct power
supplies it doesn't come with those out of the box although let's be honest
that's a lot of PoE and that might might be kind of hard to do that now the port
specifically if you look over here there are 8 2.5 gig RJ45 PoE Plus+ plus ports
and then you have 16 10 gbit RJ45 PoE plus Plus+ plus
plus plus plus just three pluses ports
over here and then of course 225 gig ports which is a nice touch now this
switch is designed to be used with their
Enterprise campus aggregation where you would have two of those 100 Gig switches
and then you would down link from those two redundant switches via M leg to this
switch so that you have a redundant link to this and this is what you would run your
APS off of um it's it's pretty big it's got those redundant power supplies which
are really nice like we talked about and then it also has I'm loving these new
ubiquity switches because man they really they really are starting to take
the whole Enterprise thing a little bit more seriously they have hot swap fans
we've got two nicely sleeved power cables we've got the infamous ubiquity
little rack ear things and then a bunch of screws and then the rails let's check
these out they're nice get the nice clicky action no
complaints there the only thing I would love to see with these is little like
Tabby Boys on the Side here so you could just click this in and you didn't have
to screw it in but you know that's
that's pretty minor I think I didn't realize this is an ether lighting switch
too that's cool you see it's it's freaking RGB man
that's so cool for the uninitiated this is what ubiquity calls ether lighting
instead of just like boring blinking uh support LEDs they put RGB LEDs in the
back it doesn't show up that great with some cables but they have special fancy
cables that are frosted and they really show the color
yo you see that damn the whole thing
lights up Kill the Lights yeah and then we flip it
over that's that's a bright light that's
a very bright light bright like our sponsor Corsair if you're looking for a
case that offers complete control over customization and cooling the Corsair
frame 4000d is the one for you it's modular design and infin raal fan
mounting system make building or upgrading your PC easier than ever
offering unmatched flexibility to support up to 12 120 mm fans and even
dual 360 mm radiators need more GPU
support well the frame 4000d is larger than its predecessor with plenty of room
to fit your graphics card plus if features reverse connection motherboard
support and removable internal panels to keep everything looking clean built for
easy IQ link integration this case lets you manage all your components
seamlessly check out the Corsair frame 4000d at the link in the video
description fast forward to the next day we've got everything adopted updated and
I have a few testing devices behind me that we get to play around with let's
talk the specs of this thing on the 2.4 GHz band it's 2x2 5 GHz band 4x4 6 GHz
band also 4x4 4 it's rated for up to 43
freaking watts of power consumption and 1,000 connected devices not to mention
2,000 ft of coverage off of 1 AP at least I guess in ideal circumstances
let's check out what it looks like in the ubiquity controller now for the any
initiated any ubiquity devices like these you need to have some form of
controller what there settings are there in here here's ether lighting look at
that oh it still is like your network or
your speed and you can color it based on that there still isn't an option for you
know painting the ports a certain color or um setting it by device type
automatically all you've got is network and speed and by Network that would be
like your VLAN but I would really like to see a device mode and then other than
that you've got your screen adjustments you can rotate them night mode I guess
that just leaves us with the access point and there are actually some new
fun things in here here uh like their U7
lineup this access point has a dedicated scanning radio so you can do the cool
water flaw Spectrum analysis uh and see kind of like a waveform of the other APS
in the area this is really sick if you have like interference issues that you're trying to diagnose CU you get a
live view of the spectrum uh or if you're just trying to set up your APS uh
initially you can use this to see which channels are the least congested and
naturally right here you can see the 2.4 GHz
absolute dumpster fire there's stuff all
over the place I mean there's an AP like pretty much directly above me but if we
go to 5 GHz looks a lot cleaner but what you
might not be familiar with is 6 GHz uh this was the big change with Wi-Fi 6E
and then now also on Wi-Fi 7 it's a massive frequency range of additional
Wi-Fi spectrum that we can broadcast Wi-Fi on now if you live in an apartment
you might have run into interference issues or you might have bought a Wi-Fi
access access point and expect at a certain speed and you're not getting it
that's usually because of interference because there's so many different
devices near you that are trying to use that 5 GHz band and there's not actually
that much space within it there is all of the 5 GHz channels now if you're
using 80 MHz wide which you probably are
if you've only got one AP and you're trying to do performance you can see there's literally only six available
channels one of which isn't even available in Canada that's not very many ideally your
broadcast testing on a channel that nobody else is using and if you live in
an apartment you probably have somebody else that's using it but if we look at 6
GHz now we've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 that's a freaking lot and on
top of that it's at a higher frequency that does mean you have a little bit
worse signal strength especially because the FCC and all the
other regulatory bodies I mean they were doing their job but they basically said
if you're you're going to use 6 GHz because there's other people that use
that frequency range mainly like some satellite providers you're not allowed
to transmit very high signal which means unless you're in the same room standing
right next to most 6 GHz enabled Wi-Fi
access points it pretty much isn't even worth using because the signal strength
is so bad and uh devices are not very good at switching between 5 and 6 GHz
that I've seen and it just it just results in having a Wi-Fi experience but
now with AFC this Wi-Fi access Point can contact a server and be like yo dog what
frequencies are are not in use by other people and then it'll tell it which
frequencies to use and then it can broadcast at the same signal strength as
5 GHz Wi-Fi which means you get the crazy speed you get the basically nobody
else using it no interference factor and you can broadcast at the same power
levels which is freaking crazy everyone talked about how 6 GHz Wi-Fi was like
the biggest freaking thing and it was except they restrained it to the point
where it's not even useful that freaking changes to today baby at least in theory
from my understanding right now the best thing to do is just to leave it on auto
for 6 GHz they are going to add in a feature later where you can see the
results of the AFC request and it'll tell you which channels are best for
high power output uh in theory it should be picking for us right now well but I
don't know I don't know how well that actually works I'm speed testing against
this minis Forum that's sitting right here that's what we're using as our client because I don't want to use the
outside internet uh and have potential speed limitations because of that so
we're testing with open speed test against this box right
here that's Wi-Fi oh my God this is
literally just 6 GHz Wi-Fi all right let
me uh let me walk away somewhere here
you go hit the speed testing we're
like it's way over there so we're probably 30 ft away now
that's meab bits right yeah so it's a
800 megabit that's even more that's
1,200 damn Daniel damn damn Dam I will
mention the antenna pattern of this AP is really meant for like being on the
ceiling this is not really optimal circumstances for this but we're we're
working with what we've got boys and girls let's try going through a wall the
ShortCircuit set is all the way over there and I'm going through the wall
into what do we call the build corner I'm still getting 800 down which
is wow upload is is getting worse for
sure because now we're relying on this phone's antenna I mean we're we're we're
uploading at like 360 megabit not
amazing but I am also through a wall probably Now 60 70 ft away let's go even
further so this we're at like 25 megabit
now there is still a pretty hard fall off on 6 GHz especially through like
four sets of walls the steel that is in the server room walls and a bunch of
people and computers and whatnot not great but it does still work I'm
interested to see actually while I'm over here let me switch to 5 GHz Wi-Fi
and see how that does so standing in the exact same spot on 5 GHz Wi-Fi I got 150
down and 90 up so there is still a physical advantage to 5 GHz Wi-Fi being
a little bit lower frequency and having a little bit better penetration but but
when you're a little bit closer that's 6 GHz even in reasonable range freaking
rocks to be clear there is still at
least right now according to the transmit power here a benefit to the 5 GHz even just on how it's transmitting
but I'm impressed cuz before using 6 GHz
on like the U6 Enterprise you got to be in the same damn room otherwise it's not
even worth trying I actually had that disabled I want to run it one more time
I just want to see that 2 gabit again that was crazy I can't believe we
cracking 2 gbit over Wi-Fi the phone is
like getting warm I changed it to a slightly higher
frequency channel oh my God that just
did almost 3 gabit over Wi-Fi lonus come
here brother this is just 6 GHz that's all it is 320 wide are you flying by the
seat of your pants like this phone's about what what brh BR what this is
without mllo yeah that's just 6 GHz oh this is ubiquity new one the E7 oh I
take back what I said before yeah we can upgrade my house that's stupid that's
actually stupid I'm need faster internet no forget it gz Wi-Fi is done yeah we're
finished yeah I don't know what else there is to say I mean I think the speed
tests speak for themselves oh no there
is still something to talk about the price it's not cheap this is like the
most expensive non Stadium access point
that they've ever released it's $500 it's virtually double the price of
the next step down U7 Pro Max or us6 Enterprise I don't expect people to be
like rocking these in their house but if you're a small business where you have a
metric shitload of clients or you have
the ability to make use of this sort of speed like say you're video editing over
wi-fi at your house for work something where you're making money and you can
justify stuff like this it's kind of insane I just hope that AFC starts to
trickle down into at their lower end stuff I guess the next Generation would be like the u8 for instance and then
anyone can experience 6 GHz Wi-Fi how it
should be I'd say I want one but I'm physically irresponsible and I already
bought one so he's shaking his
head so thanks for watching guys if you like this video like like it get
subscribed uh let me know what you think about fast Wi-Fi I I just feel like I'm
at a bit of a loss for wordss
