Wifi is great, but for pure speed and reliability nothing beats a good ol' ethernet cable! However, physically getting a cable from your router to your computer is another story altogether. In this video I install an ethernet cable directly from my garage into the second floor of my house to get those juicy gamer internet speeds.

cable: "I'm in your walls"
Wow now 🤨😎

I did a similar job several years ago because although the power line adapters I was using were reliable they were slow and wouldn't work on a sub panel. As you noted, it wasn't very expensive and was well worth it. At the same time I purchased my own cable modem with a four router ports for more flexibility (and to save the money on the monthly modem rental).
You can use MoCa Coax adapters if you have cabling within the house, I have 2 routers from Asus set up as a mesh network with an wired backhaul and I get max speed everywhere in the house
Use cable conduit. That way, you can protect your cable better, and if the current one becomes faulty, you can just put in the new one by tying the old one to the new one while pulling out from the other side.
Now you tell me! 😂
Would have been overkill for a network run like he did! If this was an institution for sure!
I used an electrician to do 4 cables for my house and I live in New Zealand where our internet is all fibre , and 3 time as fast as the nbn,we have 900/500 for our fastest fibre in general
Welcome to Australia, where you are actually supposed to pay someone with a cabling license to do this job (because govt) & you can enjoy your glorious blazing fast NBN throughout the home !
Slight correction though, highest speed tier for residential NBN is 1000/50 (fibre & coax only), so you are up to 10x higher on upload & I believe you guys have options above 1Gbps (?), which we do not on residential NBN (nor likely will in our lifetimes).. So a 3Gbps plan would be 3x faster... if that is a thing there.
However here, HFC/FTTP is only available to portions of the country here, otherwise 100/40 is the dream lol

Not sure what they’re called elsewhere but you could’ve used glow-rods/fish-sticks or fishing-tape to fish the lines through the insulated walls. And as a former cable guy, you actually have a pretty decent sized attic. I had to run lines through much tighter attics.
Wired connection is the best for sure. But just so you know, Asus routers have Wi-Fi mesh operation mode so if you use wired backhaul, you can position the routers in way where you have good coverage over the home space.
the system will use the rssi information from client devices to roam clients from node to node as you move around throughout your house and in my testing it seems to work well. You can manually configure parameters of the rssi value to trigger roaming, etc.
Some clients are problematic and don’t always roam on their own but you can use the gui to optimize your network and get clients to roam to the nearest node.
I was having all sorts of network problems with my Mac. Had no idea what the issue was.... then I replaced the FIOS given router with an ASUS gaming router (about $200) and haven't had a problem since. It's really amazing that this was the source of all the network glitches. But hardwiring it with ethernet brought ping times down to about 10ms or less.
I use 10GB, even though I only have a 1GB uplink, ethernet for all our gaming PCs because ping matters but for laptops and TVs I have a 1GB MESH system at the house. Yes it wasn't cheap but our MBPs are on it as is my Studio which is on the other side of the house. No it's not as fast as the direct connections but it means the family can use their laptops anywhere in the house it the rest of the family is too loud... which happens all the time with 4 teenage boys.
For your situation your solution is perfect, gratz on the creativity!
Hello which is best mac ???
Happy for you mate! Ethernet is miles better than Wi-Fi imo, made such a difference for my gaming PC too when I got it done recently
What ISP are you with?
Make sure your Ethernet cable is pure copper and not CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum). This should be brought up a lot more often. Look it up: they are pure trash, and should not even be marketed as CAT 5 or 6 in the first place. Amazon and other retailers are full of them. Always read the specs for bare/pure copper and not CCA.
Looking to a similar home project in the future. Thanks for the reminder! Happy New Year!
Happy new year! Definitely a good upgrade to make if you can.
This is a neat.
Also I love the design of the outside of your house and the cat seems cool 😅
I use MoCa 2.5, and just did a speed test. 942 down, 56 up. We pay for 1 gig down and 50 mbps up. Not bad for wife-happy networking.
That has to be hugely expensive! I don't have access to fiber optic where I live, so I'm using the second fastest service provided by my ISP. It's 500 down and 25 up for $105.00 a month.
@@Kevin6t8 about 120/month. Used to pay $79/month, but now wife and I both WFH and kid is in livestream classes, so we jumped to the higher tier.
@@limen5442 Mine was $50 a month, then went up to $105 a couple of months ago with a slight bump up in speed. SPECTRUM is my ISP.
Really good job. I'd recommend attaching the keystone as close as possible to where the cable jacket is. The least untwisted cable you have, the better. cables are twisted to avoid cross-talk and when you have untwisted cable like that, it can affect the speed.
Came to say the same thing!
Good point, and you're right. I did the first one really close to the keystone, but struggled with the second one because I was trying to get a clear shot on the camera 😂
This is some hardcore geeked. Love it!
Very few can or even should attempt this. Sometimes calling an expert (electrician) is worth the cost.
Wasn’t expecting this, but nice lol
These 10mm sheets are called walls? Ok cool.
Oh wow this has to be the easiest internal cable run ever! What luck to have such an open extrusion right beside the internet termination point.
I don't understand why you run both a 1gbit and 10gbit cable instead of going 10gbit for just one or both?
I mention this because I noticed that your gaming pc has a 2.5gbit LAN port and the same on your thunderbolt 4 dock which means both your pc and Mac are able to use higher than 1gbit connection. And then you're still future proofed for that NAS when you get a 10gbit adapter for either your Mac or PC 😀
One thing for certain is that the chance of ever getting > 1Gbps internet connection in Australia, is about the same chance as the planet becoming zero emissions in the next 30 days. So if WAN bandwidth was the goal here, mission accomplished.
But yes, for LAN, it makes sense to future-proof while you are making the effort to run the cable.
“Videos from a different tube” must be in 4K 😂
A wired setup is always recommended. Due to my current apt setup, it’s not possible at the moment but I’m moving this year.
Coincidentally, I was just troubleshooting through some wifi issues between my new AX router and my M1 Pro Macbook Pro before watching this issue. Seems like there might be some issue with MacOS and which 5 GHz channel you use.
That would explain why my 5Ghz network keeps disappearing
I have fiber optic (1 gig/up/down). The weakest link in my MacBook is the wired Belkin connector/adapter; it gets hot and then quits. Gotta be a better product
Great video. Love the DIY effort!
Got myself a better router and a repeater. Around $200 overall and a much better experience for all my devices. Since I don’t have a gigabit connection there literally is zero downside to using that over cable. Even latency is pretty much the same.
For us in the United States 🇺🇸, this cost $34.90 at the current exchange rate on 1/14/2023 or 14/1/2023 for my global neighbors. Cheers!✌🏼🧔🏻👍🏼
When transferring files between computers it’s a no brainer. Ethernet is the way to go. Mobile devices are Wi-Fi and my computers are Ethernet. Having a robust Wi-Fi network is key to enjoying Wi-Fi. Years ago I tore out my wireless (Netgear) and installed enterprise grade access points and a firewall including Ethernet throughout the home. No issues.

Good thing I'm in Australia and not the USA then :) Because it's A here.
@@CreatedTech it's why I made the caveat about the USA 😅😅😅. For USA viewers, always pick B. 😅😅😅
Why is that?
I did something similar quite a few years ago - one length of ethernet to the far end of the house which is where the TV and streaming boxes live, and another one to an upstairs office. The wifi reception upstairs was actually not bad, but as it was overlooking the street I was also picking up wifi from dozens of houses around, often on the same channel. In my case I had the job done professionally, and interestingly the last time I spoke to the cabler, he said that these days he would recommend a mesh wifi solution rather than cable.
Don't mesh systems still run slower than wire?
@@garrykanter5773 Well, potentially, but they do have the advantage of flexibility - it's a lot easier to move a mesh station than it is to re-cable! I don't know how it is in Australia, but to be honest my wifi was always pretty good; the limiting factor was generally the actual bandwidth from my provider. In fact I've just done a test and obtained some embarrassing results. In the upstairs office, the iMac (cabled) reached 50mbps download and 10mbps upload; the iPhone 14 Pro on wifi managed 51mbps download and 10mbps upload; and with wifi turned off (i.e. using cellular only), the iPhone achieved 235mbps download and 32mbps upload. So it looks as if at this time of day (early morning) the ethernet cable is no faster than the wifi - those first two sets of figures are at the top limit of my broadband connection. The iPhone cellular connection is quite startling, esp. as it's on 4G - I don't have 5G locally. That said, I think the modems on the iPhone 14 Pro are much more high performance than on my old phone - probably it was using multiple channels to get that result. Perhaps those results reflect how technology has got more efficient in recent devices?
@@tomburke5311 It's a great time to be alive with so many great technologies!
1:44 I think we need a house tour 🫢
the “”buffer icon of death””? lol
Where do you live? Ive never seen residential steel-framed houses
I am also in Australia and I use a backroom in a solid brick house that my Macbook can _just_ get with WiFi, but my LG Smart TV can't. I run one Ethernet cable to my MacBook because I want top speed for my most common applications, but would like to get Internet on my Smart TV.
Will I need to run 2 Ethernet cables from my router 15m away at the other end of my house?
And are there outlets I can use to replace my existing double outlet powerpoint that also includes 2 Ethernet jacks? The brick walls make it hard to add sockets.
You can use a network switch instead of running two separate cables. I have the one I used linked in the description of this video. It will allow you to have one cable running from your router into the switch, and then two cables from the switch to your devices. I do believe there are also wall outlets you can buy that have 2x power and 2x ethernet, pretty sure I saw them at Bunnings. But I can't confirm 100%
Considering how far your modem was from your living space your speed was still great. Is that because you get access from a fiber network or...?
just dropping a comment for the algo, nice video
I ran cable to two parts of my house. I have 1 GB fiber, and I wanted 1 GB on whatever I was using. Mostly.
Just like he said, it hardly costs anything, and it works perfectly.
One place where I really noticed the difference with wired ethernet was when I was using Synergy to share mouse and keyboard to a second PC (two screens on my dev PC and and a spare laptop functioning as a third for viewing docs whilst coding.) It was _much_ smoother with wired ethernet. I have a Netgear Orbi mesh wifi in my flat, so Wifi performance is fine for most other purposes. (Though my HP microservers and some other machines are connected by wired ethernet so that I can use wake-on-lan on them.)
Last week I drilled a hole in floor to do the same thing. Life before kids I probably would have tried to make it look better. Now I don’t have time for that. Thankfully my connection is faster and better now! 😂😂😂
Plenum?
That termination is really bad for performance. Just a heads up
@@CreatedTech The cable jacket is supposed to be on the keystone/jack itself so the cable remains in twisted state vs long untwisted pairs when you're terminating the keystone, that would cause NEXT fail and/or return lost
Why were you using an M1 MBA and not an M1 MBP as your main device prior to getting the 14 inch MBP
I definitely prefer ethernet especially for file transfers but since I hardwired a U6 lite with ppoe to my dream router and lots of tweaking of channels I settled on WiFi 6 80hz and I get the same speeds hardwired and WiFi in 98% of the house even with lots of other networks around.
mate who is your network provider? is it Telstra or TPPG or others?. thanks.
I am from Discord, love all your content.
Happy new year!
06:31 is that black cable just going through the vapor barrier? I think there should have been proper insulation around it, not just a big hole. Might work in Australia and maybe there is not much condensation happening, but elsewhere...

I live in aus and download is 50mbps cap :(. Used to live in spain with 400mbps down but now coming back here it's a lot slower.
Wow, great Wi-Fi speed in Australia. Usually people there has low internet speed.
The wifi speeds have become better here in the last 2-3 years. However I am currently paying $100 USD per month to get the speed you see in this video.
@@CreatedTech woah!
@@CreatedTech In Hong Kong, I am paying for 1GB fiber optics internet for 12 USD per month, and I have Wi-Fi speed of around 950 MBS download and upload. I00 usd per month is extremely high, and in HK, the Wi-Fi cost is already considerably high.
May be you are being overcharged.
@@hugochan2821 I'm paying for 1Gbps download and around 50Mbps upload. It's a fairly premium internet package in Australia and I'm actually using a budget provider. The cost of fast internet in Australia is just really expensive because our network is so outdated (due to crappy government policy) and has to cover a lot of land.
7:17 you say, that you stay with A standard but you show T586B standard picture, may be im wrong a dont speak english very well, anyway thanks for video, i'm watching your channel long time, i have the same dell monitors and keychrone keyboards so it's good to see anybody else choose these peripherals with macbook pro, one still missing on your desk is 2 x homepodmini, try it it sounds great, trust me
I was just showing a tutorial video I found helpful, he uses the B standard in that. But in Australia the A standard is more common, so that's what I went with.

Here in India jio is giving free 5g data upto 1gbps unlimited its so fast
Why I stopped using wifi? But explains how they ran a cable..
Offtopic, I saw you played Insurgency: Sandstorm. Try OG Insurgency (from 2014). It runs on my M1 Pro 14” like a charm ☺️ through Rosetta
I have great 5G in my home/WFH, which gets 800Mbps most days. So I have a 5G router for my main room and use my phone's 5G connection if I am in a different part of my place. I have backup cable just in case, but that depends more on the time of day and how busy my area is. My 5G is unlimited and only £20 a month.

You’re lucky you didn’t go through the ceiling. The metal channel you were standing on in a few the shots is not designed to carry the weight of an adult.
Of course Ethernet is better than WiFi. Not only are radio waves transmitted through air and other obstacles less efficient and prone to interference compared to copper but the protocol used by WiFi is also less efficient. Ethernet uses CSMA/CD whereas WiFi uses CSMA/CA which adds overhead. You only need to worry about network collisions in Ethernet if you’re using an (ancient) Ethernet hub that connects a lot of computers, a problem easily solved by an Ethernet switch. Of course an ancient 10Mbps Ethernet over cat3 won’t outperform 5.4Gbps WiFi 6E but gigabit Ethernet usually will, depending on distance from WAP and build material of walls. 10Gbps Ethernet is even better but not standard on most computers.
could never game on wi-fi, once you see the difference in ping and download speeds it’s painful to think about
I have those speeds over wifi with AT&T using their router.
Videos from different tubes ☺️
Other tube 😂
Bro what 600 down 38 up? Ping Wi-Fi went from 5 to 3 basically negligible. I’ll take the convenience of Wi-Fi any day of the week
There was a significant difference in upload and download speed via ethernet cable compared to wifi router. Sure, ping wasn't a huge change in that specific example (it changes on wifi). But, bear in mind the router I'm using in this video is a Ubiquiti Dream Machine - a $400 USD router configured to use Wifi6 (and all my devices support Wifi6).
Do you have gigabit speed? That’s expensive!
Which between using a cable connection or WiFi connection is better when it comes to downloading large media files on the internet?
Cable is always better from a speed standpoint. But sometimes the convenience of wireless is worth the slower speeds and other drawbacks.
@@CreatedTech okey, thanks.
@@CreatedTech So does plugging ethernet cable into the WiFi router mean that other users who are connected wirelessly to the router stop receiving internet connection??
Or will the router still work normally for anyone connected to it even when I'm using it through ethernet.
@@weiSane The wifi will continue to work fine for everyone else.

Is Powerline really that expensive though? I get the materials you got for this was cheap, but decent Gigabit Powerline adapter packs cost like $70-120 per pack of two, depending on the speeds and features we want. And Powerline adapters are pretty easy to install. I just feel like that's a pretty ok price to pay for the convenience and not having to install a real ethernet port by going through the walls and roof.
$120 vs $50, and the $50 version will have much better performance and longevity compared to powerline. All it takes is about 2 hours of your time to install.

Here from discord again 😂🎉
I'm just concerned with your upload speeds, are you currently using a fiber plan? Seems to me something is wrong with the upload speeds in your speedtest,
Australia has notoriously bad internet. This plan is actually very fast compared to most others (1000Mbps down and 50mpbs up).
OmG. "Concerned" about 650/38. That's a bit dramatic.
Gamer speeds with a 38mb upload. Are you kidding me? 😂
Do you believe that's not fast enough?
Omg… there is a UA-cam video for this topic… it’s amazing… but I don’t have to watch it.

No, you are completely and utterly wrong. That diagram is of a powerline adapter, and it sends an ethernet signal through the POWER LINES. You are confusing it with an entirely separate product.
“Or videos from a different tube!!!”😏😂
How do you have 650mbps download speeds in Australia, I cant get above 100mbps haha.

yay
why are the upload speed so terrible? my internet speeds are always similar, for my 100Mbps plan I get 100+Mbps up and down always.
Most home internet plans around the world have up load speeds at about 1/10th the download speed. I guess to stop people from trying to run a remote server from their home. Where do you live?
@@buzomatic I'm from India.
@Raghav 11411920 Cool. Here in Canada, it does not seem to cause any problem for most users.
@@Raghav-ww1bt It seems in America we don't invest and focus energy on upload speeds. Two main reasons: 1. We are a nation where the vast majority are download consumers. It dwarfs our upload transmissions. 2. For almost everything we do, we have found that we only really need 10-15 upload for nearly every upload challenge. Anything extra is just extra gravy and because our networks are run by just a few corporate conglomerates, they don't see a need to spend their revenue expanding what would really be excess upload bandwidth.
