thanks for immediately getting to the point in less than 5 seconds. i can't stand today's youtube format of introducing the channel, introducing the host and whatnot.
Not only that, but he didn't play any music while he was talking and explaining the topic. That is my pet peeve so he is now going to get a sub from me.
You realize they get paid for the length of content right?
It's because of this that I immediately check comments to see if someone summarized even before a video starts.

Good job. Clear as water explanation. Thank you sir.
Embargo on the Asus ROG 5 dropped, but Max's Tech still on top with them router videos
The red port can be also a WAN, which is an input port which comes from the only port of the ONT. So, WAN is an input, won't be able to get internet through that.
Another guy on another podcast said to hook up the TV directly to the router well I got basic cable and streaming TV and computer and cell phone so it’s kinda crazy even though it’s all one place apartment so all one level floor one bedroom apartment
My parents just upgraded their Bell phone service from a copper connection to fibre, but get their ADSL internet through Primus. They installed a home hub 3000, eliminating the need for the modem supplied by Primus. The wifi works great, but they're getting passed back and forth regarding their wired connection. How should the wired setup connect from modem/router combo to switch to desktop? WAN to LAN to Ethernet? LAN to LAN to Ethernet? Bell says Primus will walk them through it, and Primus is clueless on anything to do with the Home Hub 3000.
Thanks
Excellent teach!
thank you for the info
Thanks for explanation.

Thank you
Your thumbnail meme reads: USE THIS PORT. What happens if I plug my non-fiber cable into it? That’s what it’s telling me to do.
I saw your binary video and it was really helpful, would it be possible to make an octal one and a hexadecimal one
Good idea! I never thought to continue that series! Ill add it to my list :)
Is there a difference between an ont cable and a regular Ethernet cable?
No. ont is only the name of the port.
@@Lildude676 I disagree: ONT is optical fiber.
SUBSCRIBED , KEEP IT UPP
As a general rule, the USB ports are disabled on AT&T supplied gateways.
ONT FOR FIBER but connection looks to be copper Ethernet based. Please explain?
It was an Ethernet port . This ONT Ethernet port is wired to a signal and protocol system in the device that is designed for fiber optic signal processing. . The Ethernet cable he plugged in ran to a device on his local area network. The fiber connection uses another port and leads to the internet service provider.
Very helpful
Powerful content
what is the difference between stand only vs built in one
my router has a WAN port but it also has multiple LAN ports should i use the WAN port to connect to my PC instead of LAN? or is that not recommended? i just want the fastest possible wired connection. i have 1 Gig Verizon Fios fiber internet
My router is like yours and I use the WAN port to connect my desktop pc. I plan on using the LAN port when I connect my laptop
No, the WAN (Wide Area Network) port should be used to connect to your modem/ONT (or connected directly to the internet feed coming from ISP). This is the main port from the modem to the router (assuming you’re not using a router/modem combo from your ISP). The WAN is the “public” side of your network that connects to the wider internet. You don’t want your private client devices connected directly to your WAN.
The rest of your ports are the LAN ports to connect either your client devices (PCs, TVs, ), switches, or other Access Point Satellite routers (wired backhaul). The wired backhaul is highly recommended for reducing bandwidth congestion, improved reliability and speeds.
It isn't "co-axle" cable but rather "coaxial" like "co - axe - ee - al" .
Hopefully you’ll answer my question here. I have a coax router from my provider and I pay for 1gig internet but I don’t get near what I’m paying for so I bought some screenbean coax to Ethernet converters to at least get what I pay for it not get lucky like the ones in the videos I’ve watch and double my speeds and I was wondering if I buy a good non-coax Ethernet router will it work? I just don’t want a splitter coming off my main coax to the router and to the screenbean module and then another splitter somewhere else to run the other converter to my gaming PC. To many splitters and I feel it’ll choke down the connections and speed. Theoretically in my mind since I’m converting my coax to Ethernet via a converter then I SHOULD be able to get rid of the old junky coax router that was provided in my install and replace it with a newer, nicer and faster Ethernet router… correct? The main reason I don’t want a bunch of splitters all over the place going here there and yonder is because I’m also setting up a designated gaming router strictly for my PC and I’d much rather use one “out” of just 1 splitter to my gaming area and hook it up to the 2nd converter my kit came with and have a Ethernet connection directly from the coax coming through the wall and then just a single Ethernet cable from my gaming router to my PC. Sorry for the long post I just wanted to be thorough
Switching the connection from coax and converting to an Ethernet port won’t do anything for your speeds, if you have a coax cable that isn’t rated for 1gig and that’s what you use it’ll still be limited from its end, so adapting to Ethernet wouldn’t change anything. I would contact your provider and ask why your speeds are so slow, if they test the connection and find it truly is slower than your paying for they’ll likely upgrade your router to a newer version that can handle 1gig.
@@MaxsTech thank you. I had no idea a coax cable was speed rated. Now that I know that I’ll look into it. Sometimes I’ll get as high as 850mbps and the very next test will be 250-300mbps
Out of the blue my Xbox x doesn't want me to use the wired connection I don't know why but it will not allow me it wants me to unplug it ...force me to use wireless... like it worked on it for a while and then all of a sudden it's forcing me to Go Wireless and unplug it.. why are they forcing it now
When I plug my pc and tv into the lan ports only the tv gets internet and only lan2 is green indicating the tv has internet
So with fiber we need new cables in the house, instead of the Cat6?
Fiber only goes to the provider from the house, you still use Ethernet cables from your device to the router
Clear as mud
You forgot about the SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) port AT&T's newer fiber modems specifically like the BGW320-500 all of which has the ONT module built into it.
What’s a WAN/LAN port on my modem?
Wide area network/ Local area network. Uses an Ethernet port and this is where you can connect either your computer to receive internet from your router or a local device you want to have local network access to, like a printer, game console for local multiplayer or a personal server.
The WAN port is where the internet from your provider will come into and you can think of the LAN as a splitter of the internet to allow multiple devices to receive it.
Great video, so my fiber box has 4 ports, only one works, the one that goes to my router that gives internet to the whole house, why would they not work
The router should have more Ethernet ports on it to allow other devices to connect to the internet. I’m not sure about fiber connections, maybe those were on the fiber modem and used for something else.
@@MaxsTech just found out from my provider it is called an OTN box, it's a little black box, but only one port has internet, the other not sure why they are there
Is there a way to watch ATT uverse through a different internet provider??
No
nice one
Mine aren’t labeled I just have 2 yellow ones that’s all
If one is trying to create wifi signal from one building to another, does one plug ethernrt from antenna to router & then receiving side needs wifi antenna & router?
Is thinking correct, or wrong?
Thank u.
You will need to setup a point to point wifi network. You point the antennae at each other at the roof of the buildings. The antennae should have an ethernet cable that you have to then plug into your router. At the other building, you typically plug this into a network switch. You don't want to use 2 routers as this can create some problems in connectivity.
I have MG7550 / AC1900 Router. xfinity cable service but they tell me I need a new router/modem for faster service. I've been having trouble and very slow service. What to do? get new router? I don't like to rent their modem.
I got power outages everytime I plug in the lan cable.
Idk whether the cable, router or mobo is the problem.
Fyi.
I use CAT5e lan cable
Strix Z270H Gaming with red lan port
And just a normal 4g router
Tried a few cables but nothing changes.
Excellent video!
Thank you.
However, your t-shirt is not true.
I connected my router wan port to my modem/router lan port after turning off the wifi from my modem/router and i basically removed the wan to wan connection my router had with my modem/router and switch it to wan - lan because i need the wan 10gb port from my modem/router to connect my pc adapter 10gb card. Currently i see no issues but i was wondering if a router that is normallly connect wan to wan port to a modem/router is less efficient or strong when connectimg the router wan port to the modem/router lan port.
I have local and broadband local barely does anything and broadband just disables wifi for me
What if you do have 2 boxes router and modem
Thought this guy was gonna say lan 1 is the god Ethernet port or something lmao
"I'm not smart enough to hack all 4 at once."
Is it possible to connect the landline to a LAN port or only phone specific ports?
There may be adapters, and some phones have the option to connect via ethernet LAN, but the actual plugs for phone/Ethernet are different.
Unless your router/modem uses VoIP it's not viable and/or possible
I can use the usb port to connect a switch because the switch is just 5v
Hello, i have an issue to my desktop computer can you help me ?
When i turn on it the bois is not coming and screen is still black just a - in at the left top of screen.
Your pc failed to post. This could be a number of issues from faulty ram, cpu, or motherboard. Make sure the motherboard speaker is installed it will beep out error messages when trying to boot so you can find out more info
@2:49 that printer is too big to be sitting on that counter. Now why he do that?
Do i have to unplug the cable everytime from my router when i shut down my pc?? my wifi router is wall mounted?
Hey man this is a bit random but I have an old M5711 LGA775 Foxconn ddr2 motherboard, and I'm struggling fixing the front panel connectors because I have no manual nor can I find one, could you possibly help me?
Fix? Did they break? Or just not working? Probably just plugged in incorrectly, check out my video on the front panel connectors if you just need to plug them in correctly or check if they are :)
@@MaxsTech they're just plugged incorrectly because I'm not sure where they go with nit havin a manul too check and I've searched everywhere for it online, could u link ur video showing where they go? Please (also subscribed as a thankyou)

Bruh you definitely need to put ads on ur videos.
It will also improve discoverability.
I have both the cat 8 and a cat 6 and there is no difference in internet speeds between the two, I think it's more about a marketing thing because they want to just charge you more money for a cable that you think you're getting higher speeds
Your CAT8 cable is CAPABLE of greater speeds than your CAT6 but, if your connection from your ISP is less then 10gbps you won’t see a difference since CAT6 can handle speeds up to 10gbps.
Definitely copper clad steal. Not copper buddy
Assuming you’re referring to coaxial? Depending on the cable it can be copper, copper clad steel or copper clad aluminum. In the end copper is the conductor either way :) each has their advantages in cost, durability, or performance of the cable.
Useles company...used to be good.
Cables? How quaint. 😊
It's pronounced "buTTon"... Not buh-in.
Its called an "ACCENT" if you've ever heard of that
I have verizon fios which is fiber but with coax cable connected so im very confused
I need help so when I’m connected to my router with the Ethernet cable it affects the WiFi for the rest of my family I connect it to my ps5 what should I do? @max’s tech
What do you mean by affects the wifi? In what way does it affect it?
@@JJFlores197 so basically when I connect the cable to my router the wireless internet for the rest of my family is kinda slow
@@victorrioichi59 what is your internet speed? Run a speed test on your wifi devices and compare it to what you should be getting from your ISP.
@@JJFlores197 ok np
@@JJFlores197 the download speed is 427. 0 upload speed is 48.0
Wrong I got fiber and I still use a coax so you’re wrong
Coax with Fiber if the coax is for cable services. 2 things in one.
