Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “my new Wi-Fi is so fast its illegal..”.
My unlimited budget, Wi-Fi setup, has some problems. The only one I’ve talked about so far is the weird interference on the wireless speakers in the family room, but I’m also getting disconnections on Apple devices. When I’m moving around my house and my phone takes forever to connect to the outdoor access points, when I pull into my driveway, which wouldn’t be a huge problem, except that I have no cell service in my neighborhood, so I can’t open my garage, I mean, don’t Get me wrong when it works. The speeds are really solid, but in spite of that, it’s like there’s this voice in the back of my head. You know Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 6E.
It almost sounds like Jake. Oh I knew it. I knew it knew it okay, but hear me out. Ubiquiti’S, Wi-Fi 60 gear might not be technically enabled in Canada, yet but there’s a hacky workaround and the speeds are absolutely ridiculous.
I’Ve had issues with ubiquity Wi-Fi gear in the past, though, which is why I went Ruckus in the first place, but I will give them one more chance. I mean given that it works great everywhere else. In my life, including at the office, it should be fine and if it’s not Jake has promised me that he will personally reinstall all of my existing Ruckus access points. Just like I’m going to install this Segway to our sponsor, it’s freshbooks thanks freshbooks for sponsoring this video freshbook simplifies accounting and bookkeeping, ensuring you’re ready for tax time right now, there’s a special offer just for our viewers, so head to freshbooks.com Tech tips to save 90 Off your first four months today, there’s probably a way to fix some of the issues that I’ve run into so far.
Ruckus Unleashed might not be as feature-rich as their dedicated or their Cloud controllers, but it does have most of the basics. It’S just that the basics haven’t helped me fix my issues so far and besides, they won’t upgrade my Wi-Fi 6 access points to Wi-Fi 6E anyway, which is a lot of the point of what we’re doing. I wonder if part of the problem is these access points. Are just so Overkill I was looking at Unleashed in my phone and laptop we’re grabbing the AP upstairs and we’re there’s one right there yeah.
What’S going on literally right above us, I even turned the power down to minimum as a troubleshooting step recently, and it was still happening. Well, it’s still happening right now, yeah because it’s turned down right now, yeah, let’s have a look at what we got here. I actually haven’t seen any of this Jake surprised me. Actually everyone surprised me, I didn’t even know we were doing this video.
I was at Disneyland well for inside Wi-Fi 60.. This is the UniFi 6 Enterprise each one of these APS can handle. I think it’s 600 plus clients – oh my God, like 10 gigabit of throughput. Theoretically, this is the sorry 10 gigabit of well like connectivity between all the clients.
Good gravy we’ve got a total of then five of these for the inside one for the garage. That’S six because we learned absolutely nothing about how having too many access points can actually be problematic. I just turn it off.
The Wi-Fi 6E could actually help us with that. We’Ll talk a little bit more about that later and then I have two outside which doesn’t explain why you have four well. I wasn’t really sure what would be the best option, these ones kind of look nice.
You see it’s just like a little tube and you can just mount it under the soffit. These ones aren’t Wi-Fi 60. But since it’s outdoors anyways, you know six gigahertz is not really ideal nor needed. You just need to open your garage right, yeah, we’re probably gon na go with the long range plus, because it’s really long range, it’s got a very powerful 2.4 gig antenna. I didn’t even ask if we can show this one, because it’s technically EA, but I’m sure it’s fine haha got him. These are Wi-Fi six on both 2.4 and 5..
The cool thing about these ones is they’re. Sealed, like you, could put this in a bucket of water before we go any further, we should probably explain why WI-Fi 60 is so important. This is not just a little speed bump.
It’S more about the fact that we’re getting access to an enormous, uninterrupted, 1200 megahertz of spectrum that up until now hasn’t been used for any Wi-Fi Communications. It’S in the six gigahertz range and it’s a whopping. What is it like? Seven, 1200, megahertz, seven 160 wide channels.
The problem with five gigahertz Wi-Fi there’s always like little sections that are blocked off, so you can’t have big channels and then there’s like the radar thing it’s and the width of the channel is what gives you the speed, yeah plus since this spectrum is completely empty. With none of my neighbors realistically using it, I could have every single one of my APS on a completely separate 160 megahertz wide band, so they don’t interfere with each other at all, plus because it’s higher in the frequency range it’s faster and when I say faster, You can do one and a half gigabit both ways to a single client if it’s supportive, if you’re wondering why I’m wearing gloves. So I don’t get like smear on the ceiling.
No finger, goo ceiling paint is very not glossy and it is really hard to clean. Unfortunately, the mounting holes are not the same. Maybe they are.
Does those look the same e and e? Oh, my God, they are all right. There we go now. We just need to adopt the AP it popped up here.
Already, it’s gon na have to update, and then we should start receiving Wi-Fi from it. Now we just have to repeat this process seven more times, two of which are outdoors and it’s raining. I can choose from inside.
Oh these drywall anchors are crap. They like painted over them, so they’re skin. Oh those tribal anchors when you run the screw into the anchor kind of like break apart in the back to hold it in place and prevent that from happening. I think what happened is they used screws that are too short, so it’s not broken open in the back and it can just screw right out. Like we’re saying easy, I will say the Ruckus ones, huge pain in the ass. I mean just look at it.
You have two little keyholes that you have to get the keys perfectly lined up on for both and then it slides on. But when you can’t see you’re trying to get the stupid screws to line up kind of a pain in the ass, you can even see all the scratches from when we tried to mount these things. This AP is gon na suck to change. Can I help you boys? This is terribly awkward yeah, it’s really not heavy at all. Oh my gosh there’s a dead spider ew! It’S Not Dead, go away! You’Re doing such a great job Linus keep it up, and I helped for those wondering this is not an ideal place to position an access point. Usually you want them in the center of the ceiling of the space that you’re trying to fill or the center of the wall if the ceiling is not available.
This particular wire was supposed to poke through in the wall, but I guess they didn’t read the plans right and put it in the ceiling instead, so um yeah, it lives in the corner of the wall. Now oh screws. Fortunately, everyone chirps the LTT screwdriver. For this. It has Robertson, so I can actually take these out. It’S quite the size difference eh I like this. It’S got a little bit different design for where the cable plugs in, usually they plug in here, and it’s really hard to get it in, but they did it at an angle with a little bit bigger hole. So it’s much easier to plug in I got it. I don’t actually it’s not even showing up in here.
What is wrong with your app, I don’t know it’s possible that I’m just not signed up for Early Access access yeah. Basically, what Jake’s trying to do is he’s trying to enable access to Beta firmware for devices because those Early Access outdoor APS, you can’t just run production firmware on them, obviously, because they’re, not even production devices, but we don’t have the cons. Mine does.
Maybe it’s just the difference between the IOS and Android app. I think we still need to do it on a computer really yeah. I need this to say like it should say: release candidate and then Early Access and Early Access is what we want. But in the meantime I think I’m just going to mount the AP and he can adopt it in a few hours. When this recognizes the change. Okay, all eight of our access points are hung up now.
So the first thing we need to do is create a Wi-Fi network for Wi-Fi 6E, because it’s a separate band. I guess you could technically have one that is 2.45 and 6 all with the same name, but then you’re not really going to know which network you’re connected to we’re going to name it. Wi-Fi 6E for now password one two, three four five: six, seven eight and then go to manual turn off 2.4, gig and 5 and just select six gigahertz. This is going to require us to use wpa3, which is the new security protocol for Wi-Fi 6E. It’S very similar to WPA2, but with stronger encryption. So that’s the best option.
Just add our Wi-Fi network boom we’ll give that a few seconds, and we should be able to see it on this laptop here, which is Wi-Fi 6E enabled it does support 160 megahertz wide channels, but only in a 2×2 stream. We might not be able to get above gigabit on this one, but we should be able to get really good speeds and we can connect to the 5 gigahertz Network to compare the two and see the speed difference, because it should still be substantial. I want to just double check to make sure that the Wi-Fi 60 is working, and it says the six gigahertz radio is disabled because we’re in Canada there’s some weird certification stuff, that’s going on with Wi-Fi 6E, despite it being approved just like the states. So to get around it, you go into our unified control center here and change our country from Canada to the United States, probably not super legal, but we’re doing it.
Anyways. Now that we’ve switched over, I want to try the speakers. This isn’t going to be a definitive test because the problem that he was having is kind of intermittent anyways, but oh yeah, never mind it’s still screwy. We probably need to go tweak the channels and maybe shut five gigahertz off on the AP. That’S right above here, but I wasn’t super confident this was going to fix this problem.
Anyways, look at that! There’S our Wi-Fi 6E Network, we’re in business, speed test. Okay, let’s go stand under this AP 300 down: it’s not bad, not incredible, either! To be honest, I think the peak we saw there was 850 megabit upload, that’s pretty fast. 326 780..
I didn’t tweak anything everything’s set to automatic okay, let’s walk around with my phone really quick before I would walk between one room and it would completely disconnect – and I it’s not like it would, you know, be disconnected for a little bit. It would stay disconnected until I manually went in and reconnected to the network. I want to see it on mine too, because I know about how fast it should be on. This is a fold three right yeah, so you should have 6C. Do you see a Wi-Fi network called Wi-Fi 6E? You really called it Wi-Fi. Well, just for now there it is sick.
It’S one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! Oh it’s a good thing. We have wpa3. Okay, go that’s only 300! Just wait till it goes to the upload. Well, why is down slow, I’m not 100 sure, even on five gig, it’s kind of slow? Why am I cursed? I was getting like 600 plus before you just downgraded my? Why? No! No! No! It’S great trust me.
What do you mean great? That’S, not great Jake, you! Don’T you goofed? No, it’s fast! No you’re, goofed! No, it’s great! Look! When I walk around your house. It doesn’t disconnect anymore. Okay, so Jake you basically downgraded Lance’s Network.
Just so your iPhone wouldn’t disconnect when you walked around the house, so this wasn’t about me at all. Then was it you know what it was about. Well, it looks like we found the problem.
There were a couple of issues. One is that we didn’t have flow control enabled on the switch uh that got us to 800 900 megabit, a second with the old switch. But here’s the thing my old Poe switch was gigabit, which is actually a bottleneck even for a single client, so we’ve actually swapped out the switch to their new Enterprise, 48 Port that has 48 ports of Two and a Half gig. And then four 10 gigabit SFP pluses it should then be ripping fast.
All I got to do is set up a network that uses six gigahertz and I’ll. Maybe I’ll also have to get a little closer to an access point 700. whoa more than gigabit up there. She goes, Jake has the same APS at home has actually seen speeds in excess of 1.5 gigabit as cool as all.
This is, though, so far, I’m finding a bit of a challenge to actually take advantage of of six gigahertz Wi-Fi. The issue with that is that iOS devices and modern Android phones no longer allow you to set an order of priority for your wireless networks. There are third-party apps that do it, but not natively. As far as I’m aware so ridiculously what my phone does.
Is it just grabs my five gigahertz Wi-Fi network, literally all the time, then what I tried next was to just enable six gigahertz on my five gigahertz Network and it’s 6, not 6E, it’s right there. How much closer can I be, but as I’m driving up the street to my house, can I connect and operate my garage door action lead and we did it? Oh wait did I did I hit the sensor darn it. So this wasn’t about me at all. Then. Was it you know what it was about, our sponsor Best Buy and today’s featured product, the Logitech stream cam, plus the stream cam plus, is a webcam specifically designed for streaming platforms like twitch and YouTube.
