God dammit this guy is literally the best reviewer in Cnet, 0 bulshit and all good info.
Surprising coming from cnet, right?
More like best reviewer period. If Dong Ngo had his own channel/show i'd sub right away
Brian Cooley, Dong Ngo, and Bridget Carrey are why I am subscribed to Cnet
agreed!
I agree..
I cant believe it, somebody that actually knows how to do a review! this guy is the best I've seen so far, no BS clear speaking and to the point. no time wasted, I like him
Respect The Dong, best reviewer on CNET.
Dong squad
I just lucked into this review by chance. I'm searching for a new router, as the old one just died from a line surge. Great advice. Thank you!
I don't know why but I can trust Dong Ngo with my life!
Thanks Dong, that was very informative!
No bull*** no added sugar. Just pure information and no unnecessary personal opinion, nor endlessly rambling for 10 minutes to get to the point. That's how it's supposed to be!
Dong, you should link the article in the video description to make it easy for us non Dong Ngo to find.
☺
Could you do more of these. I love learning about how to optimize a wifi connection but it just a boring topic to read about.
Umm he didn't really give much useful info regarding "optimizing" a wi-fi connection speed that most of us users don't already know.
Just go and watch LTT aka Linus Tech Tips
not so boring if you need the info and its up to date, thats the main thing. Hearing this helps make some points of a new modem not so important. One thing not talked about is the ability for any particular modem to be a repeater making the router much more functional by having a broader area of coverage. This to me is just as important as how many devices at what speed it supports.
The Dong is the best reviewer at CNET
Best description regarding WiFi capability that I have heard! Great review Dong!
more Dong please CNET
forget the rest !!!
JJ G I have a feeling this is not the first time you've asked for more Dong. 😕
The most useful, and indeed the only useful explanation I have ever heard about wifi speed. Thanks
Thank! You get right to the point. There's no waiting for you to beat around the bush before you get to the meat of the information we want to hear.
Thanks for a great and to the point review.
Go Dong!
I never thought that i would like Dong, you changed my mind.
CNET please give us more DONG! We just can't get enough
We love dong
Wow, you just answered a lot if my questions, plus even future questions I may have. Thank you !!!
Thank you for the info. So how do I find the ceiling speed for the device I'm using, say my cell phone or my computer?
“At a time” love this guy.
i wish i had his smooth delivery style
Only the creatively genius mind of Dong Ngo could come up with a title like that.
Leave it to Ngo to keep cnet alive
I want this dudes voice on an audio book bruh
Oh god not... It's broken English....
me too Samurai
Odorous Smegma sounds hot
kinky
or on a waze navigation...hahaha
Wow! Thank you so much for a thorough and easy to understand explanation.
Obstacles are a huge factor in blocking signals. This is especially true in a lot of 1960-1890 homes. The walls can stop signals dead in their tracks. I've experienced this, my old home that was an multi family caused the wifi to barely reach the kitchen when the kitchen was only 20-30 ft away. The new house with the same router can get strong signals 3x the distance compared to the old house.
if i use wlan(olug cable direct in laptop)is it different between speed of cheap router and expensive router,tks so much
Very straight forward, clear, concise explanation. Well done.
This dudes the man!!! He gives it to you like it is. No sales pitch, thank you.
Thanks CNET for making a very practical video.
Link to the article please.
Hello sir. What do you think about TP Link AC1200?
Thank you for simple explanation on router speeds; this helped a lot.
Hai....
Do we need a modem or Router for a Mesh Wifi eg. Tp Link Deco P9??
Love the style bud...thanks for the no-nonsense presentation.
Which modem and router should I buy for xfinity? I am reading buying separate devices is better than combo
Is there much difference between using a combined vdsl modem+router and going with a separate modem like the draytek vigor 130 and connecting a router?
I would like to get an advice. I am looking for a wifi router to be used to connect 3 phones as a webcams for live streaming. Any suggestions.
Hey DONG, what if I Have dual band router, also I have 3 devices out of which 2 can push to more speed where as 3rd cant. what if the best 2 connects to band each, and 3rd device with slower speed connects to 2.4 GHz band, so does it makes device slower connected to 5 GHz also ??
I work for a ISP and I swear I have to explain this all day long
I work for an ISP and I sell this router after wholesaling it
Man, me too! "I'm getting 40Mbps out of my wifi". Ma'am, you're paying for up to 50. "ya, why can't I can't 50?". Proceed to check ethernet and get 55. Well ma'am, my job here is done lol
ISP gear sucks always disconnects BT hubs are shit why do you think we always buy 3rd party routers because they are reliable vs the shit you give us
simple to explain - different size pipes carrying water.
Honestly this should be common knowledge know. Everyone has internet these days. And wired always get you closest to your isp advertised speed. Less switches the better. Though technically any device on wifi should be able to cap the basic isp speed. Even with older tech.
I have a ps4 connected with 3 laptops connected as well. I have 12.0 speed Uverse. I sometimes get lag while gaming and 2 laptops loose speed. Any ideas?
I like this guy's confidence!
Hay CNET I have a wireless internet card connected to my motherboard in my PC that has 3 antennas on it. How fast do you think it would perform with the Modem that your talking about.
Is the AC socket or connector or the output port of Asus routers the same size as the AC socket of a TP Link router or not?
Aw man - I was looking at the NightHawk X10 for purchase, what do I do now?
Awesome Review! I'm subscribing just because of your no nonsense review.
I have spectrum ultra 400 mbs but my router is over 10 years old I have linksys e1000. I averaged about 75 mb on my phone connecting to wifi ..do I need a new router to take advantage of the 400mb speed? What router is good
I have a linksys E1000 that I bought in 2010 and its advertised upto 300mbps. Would upgrading help my wifi?
I have 60mbps from my cable provider but its very slow.
i like your video , its nice, and can any one tell me what is the best router that give me best wifi range in my house ?
Thanks, so refreshing to listen to straight to the point no bs person.
Which router is better the Linksys WRT32X or nighthawk AC 32000 I game ps4 Xbox have my tv connected and 5 devices over WiFi
So if I get intermittent drop in WiFi do I need to get a new device (phone/laptop) as I have superfast FTTP
what's the best router modem ac device to purchase
I love this guys voice! At 1:36 we have the "At a time" Western accent :'D and that made me sub!
how do you compare it to the Asus RT AC68U?
I have at&t internet and it’s not so good, there’s like 8 to 12 devices connected to it . What can i do to improve the speed?
Dong No always speaks the truth and often there is more to learn than just the topic at hand...
THANK YOU... This really helps me understand how this all works. Thanks again for what is real.
So I live in the country and I only get 25mbps, so if I buy a router will it help any?
Any recommendations for me if my ips is just not giving me what I need and they are the only service that covers my area I'm really tired of having less then 5mbps 😕
I'm a little confused as to how routers work. I have a Verizon DSL service with 3mgb down and 1-2up (I no it's terrible) and they gave us a router with it. So does that mean if I get a router like the one shown here it will increase my wifi to however much you said? Or do I have to upgrade my service along with it?
If there was a modem about 75 yards from your garage in your house what would you do? I also have consoles in the garage set up and would like to be able to play online out there
Finally someone that tells it like it is. Listen to this guy. Great video sir.
probably the most egit how-to / explanation i've watched in awhile. keeping it 100!!!
What is the best affordable router for FIOS 300/300 mbps? I need to get one before Thursday
Hey all,
I've got a question. I live in Japan and most ISP's here "Provide" you with a modem/router and you don't really have a choice except to use what they have provided. I've just made the arrangement to change to 1gbps optic fibre, but am not sure if the modem/router they provide will be able to handle it (since I haven't recieved it yet). Yes, I know I should wait until it arrives but would like to get some theoretical answers. My main question being the following:
If my modem/router turns out to not be able to use the 1gbps at its full potential, could I use a third party router (say a gaming one) to connect to the provided one and get better results.
Apologies if any details were missed but am having trouble finding answers anywhere else so thought i would give youtube a shot since many users (reliable or not) may have an answer or an opinion on the subject. Cheers in advance and a happy upcoming new year to all!
Is it better to have a all in one mode router, or to have two separate devices, and does it affect the speed?
Sir I want buy that model router is it good for purchase? AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit RouterArcher C5
How’d u find the ceiling speed of ur devices
How to do the link aggregation on the router ? please be detail. Thanks
Honestly I watch tech reviewers all over youtube. THIS GUY IS AWESOME!!! Loose your job at CNET and start your own channel Dong.
So how can I figure out what the max wifi receiving speed for my iPad Air 2 is?
Wow! Thank you! This guy's name is Dong Ngo..... kinda like DONGLE.... Holy crap! This guy was born for tech, it's even in his name! Great video!
Yeah! I have to agree the best reviewer bar none! Keeps it so simply and easy to understand.
Without Dong Ngo, CNET will never be the same.
Which is the best ..cable WiFi modem ..or cable modem router for exfinity??
Need more Dong Ngo videos!!
Very thoughtful and informative! I found these facts in the hard way. I wish I found this video a lot earlier....
I know very little about networking but this guy broke it down well. Thanks.
I love it when he says time
Can you please review the Motorola mr2600 gigabit router please and also the giga bit modem also
Would it work with guest WiFi? We are renters but are WiFi is with the owner of the house and we only have access to guest WiFi.
Hidden driver, I agree, this guy is the BEST reviewer. Just the important info, no BS!!!
Thanks you Dong Ngo it is quick but clear explanation. It is been helpful and time value :)
Thank you for this. Certainly explains why my new router isn’t as fast as what I thought it would be.
im having troubles finding info for the set up id like to have... the set up i hope for will not be hooked up to the internet. i hope to have 20 or more xbox 360's (360-S) hook into link play. all playing the same game together. *chips and pop flys accross room*... the config could have a few hard wired together in each room but many will be wireless. I realy dont wanna hardwire my house and would like to be able to move around a bit. If i could avoid a central hub system it would be great.
Please do more of these!
I love dong. keep up the good work sir. you are a cnet gem.
Thank you for the information I was wondering about that myself
This guys is hilarious and very informative. Definitely will follow his suggestions.
thank you. i really appreciate your time. you really explained that well.

Great video! Thank you for keeping it real!
You're the wisest guy in tech, Dong Ngo!

What is the best modem and router combination or all in one modem/router for gaming?
Not sure about modems but i would say the best router coming out soon is going to be the ROG Rapture Gt-AC5300 by Asus. which is a little better than the standard AC5300 which has less memory and less/slower ports. Just an fyi the standard one which is out right now is about $300-$400. The new one may be or probably will be a little more. probably around $400-$500.
When i download my games on my xb1 through wifi it only downloads at 3 mbs what can i do
Does a wired connection to the router benefit fully from the 1733mbps speed?
In Dong we trust!
Fantastic detail, thank you!
