    OMG, you are a genius !!!! I have the 2 same models as yours on this video into a mesh network in a 4 floor home , I was struggling 3 months from the 2nd floor to my basement mesh router would only connect at 5 wireless backhaul ..after positioning the 4 antennas horizontal, my two routers connected into each other at 6E backhaul..omg !! I'm super excited because of this one video that changed everything in my home you're the only person that told us which antennas are marked by which wi-fi thank you so much !!! This worked , wishing you a million subscribers! 🎉

    Glad to see someone telling people to test. Metal heating ducts cause so many problems, and you often don't know where they run. I've seen huge improvements by simply moving an AP just a few feet.

    excellent tips and explanation. thanks pointing 2 of my 4 dual band router antennas helped WiFi coverage upstairs on my main floor having a wired access point on the other end of my home got the signal plus additional wifi on the main floor and into the garage.

    Can you please explain about Easymesh and how to setup with different vendors... and whats the difference between Easymesh and other types of mesh like AI Mesh and One mesh...by the way i love the way of your explaining ... have a wonderful day... :)

    Thanks for your informative video. In the 1st scenario, is it wise to use same SSID with different channels to have an non interrupted connection?

    • @Behfor
      @Behfor  Рік тому +4

      Absolutely! That is the right way of doing it 👍

    With antenna posistion does it mater if they (3) are pointing straight down as my tenda F3 in AP mode is mounted to the ceilling so can not point them straight up? I am trying to get good coverage for my wifi clients until i can have a outdoor antenna installed. Thanks for a great set of videos

      I too wanna know if a vertical antenna pointing down is optimal but I can't find an answer.

    How do you know which antena represents each signal?

  • @vicrod74
    @vicrod74 Рік тому

    Good stuff. The wired backhaul is the best solution in terms of bandwidth. I suggest AP mode and each with a Ethernet wire.

    How about a 4th scenario which the router is positioned on the 2nd floor? What is the orientation of the antennas?

    • @stalinthomas9850
      @stalinthomas9850 2 місяці тому

      I have the scenario at my place. I kept the router upside down, so that 2 vertical antennas point downwards to covert the ground floor and the ends are kept horizontally to cover the upper floor. Works for me really well

    Nice video! The subject is not something one yields to consider at first hand when problems with WiFi occur arise. I did not think of it when I bought my network devices to begin with. The positioning of the antennas of my Mesh router and node are restricted due to their construction. I have two Asus RT AX 92U and their antennas can only be vertically positioned. Luckily I have a wired backhaul between these devices. The second node is an Asus RT AC 68, and is wireless connected to the (mesh) network and has a phenomenal coverage even without manupilating the positions of the antennas. So I left them as is.
    The router is on the groundfloor, the first node on the first floor and the second node is on the topfloor and the coverage is great.

    3:59 Can the back antennas be turned 45 degrees and the front ones remains 90? Will that matter or not? For only using as a single router and for single floor only.

    • @Behfor
      @Behfor  3 місяці тому +1

      The best antenna positioning is usually vertical for a single- story house, However, for some routers with four or more antennas, the design might vary, and it may be recommended to set two side antennas at a 45-degree angle. I suggest checking your router’s installation guide and following the recommended antenna positions. If there's no specific guidance, I would keep them vertical.

    • @rohan2032
      @rohan2032 3 місяці тому

      @@Behfor Thank you. I've also discovered that for a single floor, positioning the router 3 feet above the floor and keeping all antennas vertical is the best setup.

    What about 3 antennas like the AC68U and AC86U? And are all 3 antennas for 2.4ghz and 5ghz? Thanks

  • @sgtmac11b
    @sgtmac11b Рік тому

    Can I use 2 different routers for wired backhaul? I have an Asus RT-AX86E Pro and it's having spotty coverage in certain areas of the house, but those areas have a LOT of walls to go through. If I were to do a second in the basement, I'd just want to use a cheaper WiFI 6 router just simply for better coverage in a smaller area and use the other for the main floor and outside.

  • @Xanth79Ez8

    I have the gt-ax11000 router. Which antennas are thebone for backhaul? Is the thenones positioned in your video?

  • @Dominus_Potatus
    @Dominus_Potatus Рік тому +1

    My eternal question:
    How do I know whixh antenna is for which frequency?
    I see no documentation in the manual

    • @Dominus_Potatus
      @Dominus_Potatus Рік тому +2

      oh... you might answer it on your 3rd case.
      So ... all 4 antennas are responsible for both 2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz.
      I always thought 2 for 2.4GHz and 2 for 5.0 GHz
      As always, your video really is educational

    • @Behfor
      @Behfor  Рік тому

      It would depend on the design of the router, if it is dual band (2.4 ghz 4x4) (5ghz 4x4) and it has only 4 antennas then it's obvious that the antennas are dual band as well.

  • @Arrogancia77
