You forgot to mention the cable speeds. Many home that are prewired, have old RJ45 wires that can't reach the new speeds. When I got 1gig fiber optic I had to rewire the house.

Oooh, you've got a tough audience here!
I love this video. You've bundled all factors to speed here rather than focusing on just one. And you've done it simply and clearly. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!

How about next time you just call the video “Asus RT-BE88U review” and help the algorithm when I search for router reviews. Thank you for the review I did not need to watch at this time and a huge big thank you for not putting ads in your videos, I really do appreciate this.

The only downside to higher frequences is they have a harder time penetrating objects (like walls) resulting in shorter range. Not usually an issue in a home setting, but it is possible.

Great video! My venerable Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 (which I purchased wayyy back in September 2016) is still running like a champ and provides all the service my wife and I need for now, but I know that someday soon I'll be getting something more current. Combined with the Nighthawk 2.5Gb CM2000 cable modem, we're happy campers (getting 940 Mbps downloads to our hardwired computers on our 1 GB plan, and anywhere from ~190 to ~300 Mbps wireless to our cellphones depending on where we are in the house -- slows down out in the driveway, of course). Technology certainly has moved on, and I'm saving your video for reviews later. The features on that ASUS look great! Thanks for making your videos short and sweet -- informative and entertaining.

Just as you said, if you have a 500 Mbps Internet connection, you're not going to get 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps), the same applies to your internal network (LAN) connections. If you're going out to the Internet, as long as your connection is faster than the Internet speed, then you're going to get full Internet speed (depending on the speed the other end is sending and how many users you have sharing the Internet). However, if you're talking about LAN speed, such as backing your computer up to a NAS, then a faster LAN speed does make a difference.

Sheez! Tough crowd! I have a similar Asus router and is miles better than the provided router from the service provider. Has not skipped a beat

[tomk]

Very informative. I always acquire useful knowledge from your videos. Thank you very much.

This is wild I looked up how to setup my new equipment and this is the exact equipment I'm running. Thank you

[hovardlee]

A couple years ago I switched to 5GHz in my flat and it was the best decision I did. I had to ask my cable provider for a new router and also updated to 1 Gbps fibre connection.

Now this is a channel i can get excited about!! A man after my own geeky ♥️ heart!!

You can get plug-in devices that use the power runs in your house as an Ethernet cable, they work great. I really hate WiFi

[dkaustin]

I got a question. Which is preferred, using the wireless connection or the Ethernet cable for my HDMI TV? My main 6E router sits up on a shelf above the TV. For over the air, I have a Zapperbox. For streaming Prime, YouTube, etc. I am using the wireless card of the HDMI TV. However, I am curious if I should stream to the TV via an Ethernet patch cable?

This is great information!! Thank you sir!!

[Ravenelvenlady]

Thanks again for a wonderfully helpful video. You are the best! 😊👍❤

Just came from Nicks channel and like what I see so far. I've subscribed.

[gotbordercollies]

Every week you pick another great topic. Thank you

[KismetBP]

Ah I see, plug your machine in the 10G Port and Internet into the 2.5. Good tip! ❤

[RobbyFindlay-uqdy]

Great stuff. I found that quite straightforward, understandable.
Your posts are the 👌best.

[andresv]

So you need to plug that router after you ISP router if you have AT&T fiber? Just on Bridge mode?
