my new Wi-Fi is so fast its illegal.. - WiFi 6E Upgrade

I’ve had some very weird issues with the unlimited budget WiFi setup at home, and with the advent of WiFi 6E I figured it was time for ANOTHER ultimate WiFi upgrade...this time with Ubiquiti instead of Ruckus :O

Coming up next: Linus can't flush his toilet until his router gets upgraded.

Can't wait for Linus to do this all again when Wifi 7 products release next year.

I think we need a dedicated episode on how to design and setup a home network: best practices, common issues and how to avoid them, how to isolate dodgy IoT devices that are more susceptible to hacking from your other devices, etc.

I've been using Unify access points for ages now and I only have good things to say, they're very easy to install and setup. Fantastic for hotels because you can run the cables with POE in about a day and install them just as fast, and this is Hotels I'm taking about with 30-50 of these.
I will say the mounting plates for the older models are way easier to install and use

Can't wait for the next video about them fixing their wifi for the 20th time.

The project of Linus new house is a perfect example of infinite money not solving every issue

[ChrisMajestic]

I moved from Unifi to TP-Link Omada recently and OH MY GOD things have been SO much better. Better stability, less disconnects, significantly better signal strength, and no random bugs. The only downside is that they've had some manufacturing holdups so their 6E devices aren't available yet.

Your bottleneck on the Ruckus APs was the Ethernet switches, the 6GHz won't give you a better performance over the 5GHz, just the same performance at shorter distances (until Wi-Fi 7). 10 bucks says you'll get a better speed if you went back to Ruckus APs now that you have faster Ethernet uplink. Also your Wi-Fi speaker, you shouldn't hide the base unit behind the cabinet (it even says this in the manual). You can also fix the channel so it stops flapping around.

I'm learning this now: nothing ever works, there is always something that makes it flawed. The more advanced I make my house, the more daily annoyances I create. We just aren't there yet.

[feao]

ah the series that never ends, linus's wifi problems

[joeshmoe]

Part of me: man, Linus always gets the slick home upgrades for free
Other part of me: Thanks Linus for providing honest reviews on products I’ll consider

[vitorao]

It would be nice to see a bufferbloat test on wifi 6E comparing it to wifi 6 and wifi 5. That would help to measure wifi 6E benefits for people who like to play games while also transferring huge files using wi-fi or even using wifi 6E access points as wireless repeaters for multiple users.

[xdognatex]

Linus's son convinced him to get better wifi. I love family stuff like this.

[noytelinu]

Linus fixes and changes his wifi more often than most people upgrade their computers.

[FoWDarthLi]

okay, the "it almost sounds like jake" bit really cracked me up 😆

[mikekenning]

I think you would actually find that if you removed some of the Ruckus APs you would actually get better speed and connections. We use Ruckus and we deploy half the APs we would install if it were Aruba or Ubiquity. Because of the directional antenna array technology Ruckus uses they actually operate better with a sparser deployment.

Who else was waiting for Dennis to come crashing through the ceiling

[bonchonmaru]

Staff wants to install enterprise WiFi at Linus' house because everyone's planning on moving into the attic

[ADirtyScrub]

As someone who has installed a lot of Ruckus and other WiFi systems professionally the outdoor WAPs are much more directional than indoor WAPs. It should be mounted vertically as to broadcast over a driveway or a yard, not pointed at the ground as you end up sending most of your signal and range into the dirt.

@6:03 it looks like a second set of Porsche wheels and tires. Unless Yvonne traded in the minivan I think, we just found out what kind of car Linus got. Can't wait to see the wrap on it!
