I FINALLY can get WiFi on my ROOF! - TP-Link Archer AX5400

WiFi is basically a necessity these days, with almost all of your devices needing to be connected to the internet, like a fridge! TP-Link's Archer AX5400 router allows you to have all those devices connected without worrying about a slowdown. Let's install it in James' house!

Oh thank god, I was worried my neighbor wouldn't be able to get any wifi in his unit. Now we can supply the whole floor.

nothing is a bigger advertisement for working for LTT than being able to own a three storey townhouse in Vancouver.

If you need more wifi on the vertical plane instead of the horizontal one, you can put the antenna horizontally, perpendicularly to the roof/floor.
This omnidirectional antennas are better on their horizontal plane (when they are vertical). It is kind of a donut shape with the center being the antenna.

When your neighbor links you this video and tells you to upgrade "our" Wifi.

is James slowly becoming Linus? now installing things in HIS HOUSE 🤣

Bought this a few months back and its an excellent router. The real reason why i am happy is because this is a rare product that in cheaper in India than US. Finally i didn't have to pay 50% more for a gadget in India.

I bought a tp link router a few months back and am super impressed with it. Setup was a breeze (way easier than I was expecting), and I now get all the speed I pay for, anywhere in the house. Pretty sweet.

I feel conned, this is just a 7 minute advert.

[robertt]

I get the need to make money, but wasn't the idea behind short circuit was about small quick look at products staff were interested in, or at least not a product advertising commercial?

[Neoxon]

I’m glad we finally got to see James’s new place.

U know that a video is sponsored when 8mbps is good

"Thats about 1.3 bananas in length"

Great, then I can already make the holes in my wall to mount it, thanks!

Similar results with the AX55/3000. I now have internet throughout the house and garage. This router is a beacon of signal. It is staying. Also cut my ping in half, and it was incredibly easy to set up.

A cheaper mesh setup from tp link is a way better match for your house. You'll have good coverage throughout the whole house instead of overkill in the bedroom and meh across the rest.

I love TP-Link because most of their devices support the flashing of aftermarket software. I got good reception in a ~1910s european house (some of the walls are made out of bricks, others out of concrete and some of those contain giant rocks from the river nearby as a "filler") by combining 5 20€ Tp-link routers (some are 144Mbit 2.4Ghz N, others are 300Mbit N). Works well enough to provide a consistent 3ms of ping to the router, 0% packet loss and no spikes by utilizing all available frequency channels to avoid stalls and it yields 50Mbit/s of effective throughput (more than enough for the 30Mbit/s internet).

I've had my eye on this since the video came out, with my old 2.4ghz only router being over 12 years old.

I got it a month ago and its range is insane (have it on first floor)
I now stuck mesh on the ground floor for pure overkill.
I now have 600/800mbit through the house and 400+ in the yard.

10/10 would buy again.

I have this router and got it for 30% off amazon. It has been bulletproof since I bought it. Great speed, and great range. Software is good also, no complaints.

[narkoid]

I like the to link stuff but fully disabling WPS can be unintuitive on them. FYI always disable WPS it can be breached easily.

[Novur]

So weird seeing him look at an app with a bunch of premium crap and NOT hearing him eviscerate it

[decadentitian]

Seems like James has never setup a router post 2013 since most features aren't "new and exciting" but standard (especially when you don't use the ISP routers). I have a feeling Linus wouldn't have gotten this excited about the device.
