True statements about the netgear. After purchasing the netgear to expand my router signal my big box retailer recommended additional devices because the signal periodically dropped in the far corners of the house. I wish the big box retailer had explained this to my wife and I last fall. Good work Deal Guy!
It's simple. If you aren't good good signal in a certain location you won't get the speed "you purchased from your ISP". If you boost the signal to that area you get faster internet. Don't try to be clever, it's not working.
My wife is set up as “guest” in my router and her speed is limited. I slow her speed down when she’s mean, speed goes up when she’s nice. So far she hasn’t figured it out.
I would like to point out that video games do not worry much about download or upload speed much more about ping. If you notice ping goes from 4 ms to 1ms then to 24ms so for gamers the booster would be the best for them. Speed speed speed is all people want to sell because it is easy to show big numbers and the leave out ping which is how quickly the devices can send packets to each other. So the mesh is 24 times slower sending info back and forth. Really when it boils down to it the non boosted 10 down is 6 times faster communication than the mesh so it would be better than the mesh for gaming. It is true if you are doing massive uploads or downloads speed is best but not for gaming or anything that requires quick packet transactions. This has some good info but just not what I would consider to be the most accurate info. If you made it this far through my rambling thanks for reading.
What do you recommend. I agree with you. I was using a net gear nighthawk router modem combo and I had 500mbs internet. My wife was always around 60-90mps and if wired my PS will get around 250 and 5ghz will give me around 300. Then I used a modem with mesh system and I see huggggge numbers close to 500 but the quality of connection I’m not impressed by it. Makes me think my old method was better despite the low speed. I’m a gamer too and I need 3000 sq feet coverage.
@@AliAhmad-gr6hk what is your ping or latency usually measured in ms or millisecond? I'm not sure what the PlayStation caps download or if it does. I'm not sure what mesh network you went with but it is definitely somewhere you do not want to be cheap. Running a cable through the attic or crawl space will always be the best to direct plug. But with good latency your lower speeds should be fine as far as gaming but in this instance it sounds like you have interference somewhere in-between your router and device. Sometimes simply moving the devices can help. An example of this would be hvac vents in the wall between the devices so moving one of them or both a couple foot could drastically help. Also making sure that the channel that your router is on could help by making sure there aren't other devices on the same channel. Network optimization can be easy if you hook up and everything is perfect but when you have to troubleshoot it gets rough. I usually tell people think like you have a string from device a to device b you can't avoid walls but look at other things that could be blocking your signal. I hope this helps.
I went with the Netgear Orbi AC3000 this year as with COVID and working from home all the time, I wanted to ensure a robust connection. It works amazingly. I have the one router and one satellite and it covers my 3 floor house (~2000 sq ft) without issue. Amazing how many devices we have once you add in the IoT items. I believe we are around 30 or so, from phones and tablets, laptops and iMacs, PS5, Xbox, TVs, thermostat, cameras, etc. And I’m always happy to see a fellow Toronto person have such a good channel.

To sum up a nearly 11 minute video, make sure that your internet equipment is capable of the speeds that you are subscribed to from your internet provider.
That drives me nuts when I go to a trouble call for slow speed and I get there and they have the lowest speed we offer and they have 20 devices connected to the router. I’m like of course it’s gonna be slow.
@@Strokes1274 what you recommend me? I have Spectrum 100mb plan and yes it gives me the 109mbp wired and in 5ghz only but in 2.4ghz the speeds are 7-25 the max and the speedometer struggles to get up. Router Archer A7
@@Strokes1274 yep! when i was on the NBN doing installs at some house full of young people who game.. i tell them oh btw you know your on the slowest NBN package? 12/1... go get a 50/20 at lest.
The main culprit in slow connection situation is simply the CPU in the router being overloaded due to too many WiFi clients connecting in the house, since there is encryption/decryption going at all times. If you manage to connect some data-hungry devices via a wired connection, this could be a huge help. There are often monitoring options in the router menu, so one needs to check the CPU usage to make sure it's suspect.
I purchased the R8000 Nighthawk wayyy back in September 2016... and it's been running great since then. We have our living room smart TV on it, two smartphones, our home security control panel, and our thermostat on wifi. I positioned the Nighthawk carefully on a wood two-drawer filing case, and it provided excellent coverage for our smallish requirements. No buffering at all when using the Internet on our TV in the adjoining living room; no issues at all for almost six years, now (June 2022). When I bought it, others were asking if it was about to take off -- were those antennas propellers? Yes, it doesn't seem to matter how those things are pointed, so I keep all six pointed up. Great video -- looking at it two years hence.
I just purchased the orbi for my home because I had dead zones and I kept dropping calls which is literally life or death for my job and it has changed my confidence when talking with people! I now do not have to worry about dropping calls again. I highly suggest the orbi!
My phone.calls drop standing right in front of our router. We have.frontier internet service. My phone calls drop at leat every five minutes, will this device help?
Very good information. I bought the Orbi a couple of months ago with the 2 satellites and it was fairly easy to set up through the iphone app and we have excellent coverage in the 6000 plus sq.ft. two story home. We have about 30 devices connected. Typically, 235 download and 12 upload. Pretty satisfied.
I like your show you keep it real simple and you don't overwhelm the consumer with to many useless overpriced things. Thank you and keep up the great work .
I would highly recommend the mesh Network! Matt's 100% correct with the fact that it's spectacular. Although I use the Google Wi-Fi mesh Network, I think I've read that the one Matt is suggesting is slightly better, but I've been very copy with the Google mesh Network as well. Matt, love the work you put together on this channel and great content! Keep the deals coming!
@@UnitedHomeExperts that's exactly what I did oh, I have a router that receives the internet in the house and then I set up from the router the mesh Network. Today my house technically has three networks, the router Network, a guest Network that is done through the mesh Network and then the mesh Network where I have full access for myself. I have found it worked incredibly well and I have no dead spots in my home. From most of my research, they all perform pretty similar and I bought a different router Network for my parents, that was cheaper than the Google Wi-Fi that I bought and they love it.
This tutorial is absolutely on point and very explanatory to the T. Great job my friend. I will be recommending your channel on my podcast. Hopefully I can have you on one day
This is what I thought too...all your "boost" can do is remove any external delays that you have introduced by moving too far from the main router. Also remember devices (laptops, routers, cables, etc) have specs/limits so ensure you have the necessary hardware all along the chain to achieve the speed you're trying for. Boost is not gonna give you any better than being in the same room with the main router, unless you end up switching to hard-wired and then comparing numbers against wifi.
Thanks my download speed is already at 230 mp with eero devices but we are a family of 6 with over 40 devices moving into a big house in a few weeks. Super helpful definitely gonna but WiFi extenders.
The thumbnail showed one for upload speed, and there other one for download speed. For most of the people, the ISP will provide you with this asymmetrical speed.
My crazy stubborn bestest friend is finally going to learn how to get wifi what crap she needs instead of all the gossip or stuff she wants to believe! Really matt this is a lifesaver cause I was going to knock some sense in her haha!!! Las Vegas native
Just wanted to let you know that I love all your videos they are extremely informative. With this one I know exactly what I’ll be getting the family for Christmas 😊
Upgrade your isp service, get mesh WiFi 6, get WiFi 6 devices/recievers. Simple. Also upload is just as important in today’s modern world as download is and don’t let anybody tell you different!
I really like Almond. It updates easily. Has parental controls. Works as a router, repeater, direct connection and manages smart devices. It's so easy to set up. Has a touch screen on front. Had it set up in 8 min to set up. I love it because it does so much.
Hi Matt, My husband and I enjoyed your videos very much. We were wondering if you could make a video of how you installed your mesh devices. I am tech savvy, however I always feel a little intimated when installing new devices. We both look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks and keep it up. We have done lots of uf suggestions
The WiFi at home brought in each home a staggering fog of EMF from all the neighbors Which is bad for health. Every individual with basic knowledge knows that living cells are polarized and should know that in every cell, the shape and function of amino acids are driven electrically. Furthermore, the command for proteins to reveal the genes within the ADN to the copying machine (mARN) - to create millions of cells daily is driven electrically (not chemically). Therefore, any EMF around affects these fine processes and then people are innocently wondering "Where did I get this cancer from?". Because the proteins that cover the cancerous genes - present in each and every DNA structure of each and every individual - are driven to expose the cancerous genes, which are then read by the mARN reader, which finally builds oncogenic cells. So Homo Sapiens, for the commodity to not pull an Ethernet cable at home, have built a toxic EMF medium in which his health is daily endangered. but because the effects are seen later, in years, nobody gives a buck on this issue. This is not a conspiracy theory, it is simple bio-logics. More and more powerful Wi-Fi modems are sold, to cover more and more areas, and people pay attention only to the speed (bandwidth in fact). I worked in a radio station filled with radio equipment and what was written there in the Security procedures was thrilling, despite the fact they were less accurate and complete - because of the telecommunication industry interests. Use an Ethernet cable, and a switch for more computers. It is faster, reliable, and most importantly, does not damage health.
Thank you sir! We probably have about 15 until the college boy comes home to visit haha. During lockdown it was a mess. I had to buy more bandwidth and a booster and it's still not right for 2 floors multiple rooms. Hoping I can do some of this and fix it up. We had kids all over doing remote learning on top of everything else. Sometimes 24/7. Yikes!🙏🤯😉
Hi Matt, I love your channel and what you're providing to us. I'm just wondering because I know that you're in the USA, but on this video, the internet speed test was showing the internet provider is Bell Canada, 2:00. I thought your deals are only in the US!
do you have a two story house? i have that same system and honestly does not work well as my upstairs and different parts of my house do not grab any signal
The beauty of mesh systems is that one can purchase a single unit instead of a pack and still use it as a router and thus keeping the option open to expand. I had for 2 years just a single tplink deco m5 covering upto 1800 sq foot
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing your views. I do have a question based on the following scenario: I have approx 6-7 devices connected over WiFi to my modem + 2 devices connected via LAN cable (my Smart TV and my PlayStation 4). Let's say I would like to create 2 different channels, 1 for Gaming and 1 for all other devices, and then on the Gaming channel, I would dedicate let's say 60% of my bandwidth. The "Other Devices" channel would be dedicated the remaining 40%. In that way, the "Other Devices" consume their own bandwidth and do not interfere with my "Gaming Channel". Is there any router or any setup that can do this? If yes, then what router would you mostly recommend please? Thanks in advance for your much appreciated response!
In the US, spectrum routers come standard with a two channel setup. We keep a his & here setup as there are limits to the number of things we each do at one time and slow speeds are never the fault of the other person. When we have guests, I load them to my channel as my husband uses his for work.
Quite a good showcase of modern WiFi tech and an incentivization to upgrade one's wireless network at home. A couple of sidenotes of my own: for apartment dwellers it might be a good move to upgrade for a WiFi 6 capable home router/mesh system because of the new measures in the protocol to combat frequency congestion from other access points (i.e. wifi from neighbours scrambles your wifi as well as the other way around). Also, the rule "wire up everything that can and should be wired up" (i.e. limit wifi to handhelds/devices without an Ethernet port, and hook up stationary devices through Ethernet - either through cabling or PLC/mesh access points; USB-Ethernet dongles also might be useful, for example - for Nintendo Switch's dock station) still does apply, and in the case of mesh systems hooking up "satelite stations" to the "router station" will boost their performance even further.
I’m fortunate in that, even though my house is not tiny, a) the layout of my home means most devices are well within 5G range of the wireless access point, and b) my high-bandwidth devices (TV, desktop computer etc) are hardwired in 1G Ethernet ports. The TV’s Ethernet port is 100MB, but it has a USB 3.0 port so I’ll be obtaining a 1G Ethernet-USB converter in the next couple days. Only reason I would need a range extender is to utilize the network better when outdoors (streaming media player or whatever).
Find out what you’re paying for through your ISP. If you’re paying for 100mbps down and 25mbps upload, and your wireless router is only giving you 20mbps down you might need a better a router or you can try to buy the extender to better the signal to get the better speeds.
If you are more of a tech/ IT person, I got the Ubiquity Networks, unify wireless AC "Disk" access point using PoE. It is commercial grade WiFi, but it is rock solid and fast. You must run an Power over Ethernet line to it. They install right on a wall or ceiling and blend in with any trim. Yes the setup is a bit more advanced, but they will last for years.
I was thinking the same thing. Was watching and he said he would get into the booster but went into MESH and never came back to the booster. I already have ORBI but not getting that kind of jump from it. Was hoping a booster really exists.
I have the Asus ROG AC-5300 and love it! Works great for my 2600sqt home. I have google fiber internet with 21 devices connected. 1gb up and down! I live in Madison, AL.
We got the Nitehawk Blasts even thru walls in or 1900 sq ft home. Regularly about 200 to 300+ and we stream EVERYTHING as we have no TV Box service, just internet. We pay for internet only. Very happy with it!

Great Video! I like how you presented it. Only one comment, Your IP address & ISP in the first and second "speedtest" is the same, but the third 900+ is different IP & ISP. And you didn't mention the bandwidth you are getting from each ISPs (Bell Canada & Rogers) Thank you for the video, it is informative.
In future videos, could you wrap up with a review of what you covered. By the time you got to the end, I knew I needed something you mentioned earlier on, but I couldnt recall exactly what it was.
I have 37 devices connected. My security cameras, garage door opener (connected) were lagging so decided to buy an extender. I bought TP-Link 650 and I am getting better wifi now.
Hi, what was it that you turned on, that boosted your internet speed to nearly 400mbps? I have an NBN connection, fibre to the node, nbn50 in Australia, my speed test is majority of the time, 48 to 49 mbps download and about 19 mbps upload, that’s at peak time. Regards Gary
Hi Matt, Two things. 1. FYI: In this video, the audio goes from supper quiet, to very loud and back again, several times. I had to keep readjusting the volune either because it seemed like you were shouting, or because it soundling like you were whispering. 2. I have something called a JetPack by Verizon. It fits in my pocket, and gives me internet almost anywhere I go. Negatives: On any day, at any time, the signal strength changes, and I find myself relocating the device from one room to another trying to find a place where it will give me at least 3 bars. Would the gadgets you presented in this video, help me with the JetPack? Or should I go to standard internet service?
Your Verizon Jetpack connects to cell phone towers. None of this will really help you since the main problem appears to be the connection between the hotspot and the cell tower. I would personally look into getting a standard internet service if possible. That should be more stable than using mobile internet.
It's really up to the ISP how much bandwidth you get. Since I had issues my bandwidth got throttled and I lost 8 mbps. I had to wait 4 months to get it all back... Worth it though because I bought a eero mesh which has SQM. Now I get low ping while gaming even if other devices are watching youtube, netflix etc. SQM is the key to solving network slowdowns!
I dont believe he turned anything on, speed is limited to what your ISP provides you.. you can't just boost it higher by plugging something in, thats like saying "buy this product and it'll give you every channel your t.v. provider has possible for free". It doesn't exist, its just a signal booster, similar to one's for your cell phone. Makes it so you can get wifi out at your bonfire for music. Won't boost speeds lol this guy is delusional if he's selling that.
DOESN'T BOOST INTERNET SPEED INTO YOUR HOME - just showcases Hardware that makes your Home devices RECEIVE DATA FASTER therefore increases speed ! 👍 . Good video .
You can't get any faster than your ISP is providing you with what you are paying for. If you are paying for 123 mbps up and down you will get that. Boosting the signal will not increase that. I believe it is smoke and mirrors. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Hello Matt !! Team Bagnasco here ♥ What is the difference between (1) a mesh and (2) a good Linksys Router with two (solid/good) "extensions" (access points? Thank you! Andre
The best router I’ve ever used is the “Netgear Nighthawk R8000” I had Spectrum 400 mbps package. Using a Arris Surfboard 6183 with the Nighthawk and with a few changes in the settings of the arris sb6183 my WiFi speed average speed is 620 mbps - 680 mbps. I have a big house and the signal is 5 bars no matter where I’m at. I loose signal outside my house when I get around 200 yards away. No signal boosters or repeaters. If your needing a router than get the Nighthawk R8000! I have 2 lap tops, 3 xboxes, 3 cell phones, 2 iPads connected and I’ve ran speed test while all of those devices were connected just to see how much it would slow down the WiFi speed and it never dropped below 600 mbps. But it’s useless if you don’t have access to broadband internet though
That's good info...but must make it clear that your boosting a good signal that is purchased thru internet provider....if you have a 10 GB/s service then that's the max you'll get with boosting.
Another way to maintain internet speed! I have an older router in the closet. When I have guests and family here, I connect that older, slower router (with a different wifi name) to one of the ports on my high speed router. Therefore, I end up with two networks. The one I use which is faster, so I get most of the speed and bandwidth juice. My guests still get reasonable speed (for their needs), but a slower amount of bandwidth juice. When they leave, I disconnect the older router. That way I go back to just one network. The other advantage of this is, that since the slower router has its own password, your house guest NEVER have the password to the router you use normally. I'm not saying you should do this. But if you are real friendly with a neighbor, who is having a hard time financially, this would be a way to share your internet, without them having your main password. I wouldn't do that, my neighbor all have wifi, but there a lot people who are a lot more kind hearted than me. The risk to that, is you don't know what websites your neighbor is visiting, which could pull malware and infections, into your main system. Why? Because the guest router, is tied to your main router. Anything being consumed on the guest router, is passing through your main one.
Hi Matt, Wondering if you could do an updated video regarding this topic. My assumption is that after 2 years, new devices have come out so it would be great to learn about them from you. Thank you so much for your content!
Matt I need your help. First of all thanks for all the great info you provide to the community! It’s great for guys like me that don’t wanna rely on Geek Squad at Best Buy. So my modem and router are connected in my home office which is located at the rear of my house. There are some devices I own that I would like to connect via Ethernet cable. Now I gather from the information you provided in this video that a mesh system would probably work best for me. But I am curious to know if you can recommend any solutions that would enable me to connect a device all the way upstairs directly to the booster/ repeater?? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
I was watching Matt tbe deal guy when I say your comment. To connect anything ethernet in your home without all the eires you can connect them with powerline adapter. They come in sets of two, and you can connect up to 32 of them in your home. Get the ones that are Gigabit. But you connect one to your router and you can use the other any where you like in your home.
How have I not seen this guy before. Like that one band singing about that one place in that one time down under... he speaka my language . Thank you deal guy you just bought yourself a superfan lol which may or may not be a bad thing 😆🤫
Great video but unless i missed it, you left out some information, such as, what is the internet speed coming into your home, is it at 90, or 300? And also, why were you only getting 15-16 at your device, is your router extremely far from your pc? is your router not capable of giving the internet speed that your ISP is providing? How did using a booster up your speed so dramatically unless the speed was always there in the first place. Pretty sure that since I pay for exactly 40 mbps, that I am not going to get more form the ISP simply because I install a booster or a mesh network. If I am wrong someone please explain--and thanks.
@@Xlevious No issues whatsoever so it’s a def a decent router. However i ended up going to an ORBI mesh network so what I did was sell my tp link to someone else.
Comcast technician here. I am not an expert or anything but based on what I see in the field on my jobs, most of these mesh systems or extenders are pointless, and more often than not redundant. As I understand, the point of both of these is to simply provide greater WIFI coverage, but if its a pretty small house then why would you connect to the extender rather to the router wifi when you're only like 10 feet away? Additional devices also means more stuff than can go bad or work poorly, or the not so tech savvy customers might just get confused with how this stuff works. I would say that half my clients with extenders dont even exactly know if their extenders are actually working... If you're close to the router (like less than 20 feet) your boosters or extenders or mesh systems will just be a pointless 3rd party. So, to me, and again I am not an expert and I just go by from what I observe every day at work, the only time you should get any extender or mesh system is if your router is far away, like over 40 feet, or there are big obstacles in the way AND your devices disconnects/gets 1-2 bars on the wifi icon. And from what I see, very few homes have distances over 40 feet (and 40 feet is by no means the limit, as my crappy phone antenna can still pick up some wifi's over 40 feet away with 3 bars) The Deal Guy, your speed test results are simply from the fact that your router is unreasonably far away, so obviously you get poor signal strength and using an extender helps, and the mesh system helps even more. But if you were within reasonable distance to the router, you'd not see any difference on the speed test. So, again, extender/booster/mesh/whatever only help in big homes where modem is somewhere locked up in the basement. Finally, what I see with most customers the problem is not the speed, but the stability. I see everyone go way overboard with their internet speed plan. Very few people need anything over 100. Heck, majority of us wouldnt even see a difference between 50 download and 10000000 download. So before you buy these devices, my advice is just make sure that your issue with your wifi has to do with the range, because these devices only help with that
You get a wireless signal “boost”. The TP extender extends your weak wireless signal so you get the better speeds that you pay for. Buy a good mesh system or a good wireless router and you won’t need to “boost” or extend your WiFi signals. You’ll be just fine.
We have Cox Cable and we have a modem and router combined in one. We also are like your home and have many things hooked up to our WiFi. Which do you recommend and which do you use for your home?

I would like to point out that video games do not worry much about download or upload speed much more about ping. If you notice ping goes from 4 ms to 1ms then to 24ms so for gamers the booster would be the best for them. Speed speed speed is all people want to sell because it is easy to show big numbers and the leave out ping which is how quickly the devices can send packets to each other. So the mesh is 24 times slower sending info back and forth. Really when it boils down to it the non boosted 10 down is 6 times faster communication than the mesh so it would be better than the mesh for gaming. It is true if you are doing massive uploads or downloads speed is best but not for gaming or anything that requires quick packet transactions. This has some good info but just not what I would consider to be the most accurate info. If you made it this far through my rambling thanks for reading.
What do you recommend. I agree with you. I was using a net gear nighthawk router modem combo and I had 500mbs internet. My wife was always around 60-90mps and if wired my PS will get around 250 and 5ghz will give me around 300. Then I used a modem with mesh system and I see huggggge numbers close to 500 but the quality of connection I’m not impressed by it. Makes me think my old method was better despite the low speed. I’m a gamer too and I need 3000 sq feet coverage.
@@AliAhmad-gr6hk what is your ping or latency usually measured in ms or millisecond? I'm not sure what the PlayStation caps download or if it does. I'm not sure what mesh network you went with but it is definitely somewhere you do not want to be cheap. Running a cable through the attic or crawl space will always be the best to direct plug. But with good latency your lower speeds should be fine as far as gaming but in this instance it sounds like you have interference somewhere in-between your router and device. Sometimes simply moving the devices can help. An example of this would be hvac vents in the wall between the devices so moving one of them or both a couple foot could drastically help. Also making sure that the channel that your router is on could help by making sure there aren't other devices on the same channel. Network optimization can be easy if you hook up and everything is perfect but when you have to troubleshoot it gets rough. I usually tell people think like you have a string from device a to device b you can't avoid walls but look at other things that could be blocking your signal. I hope this helps.
What would you recommend for gaming? I get a ping of 82ms

@@Strokes1274 yep! when i was on the NBN doing installs at some house full of young people who game.. i tell them oh btw you know your on the slowest NBN package? 12/1... go get a 50/20 at lest.
The main culprit in slow connection situation is simply the CPU in the router being overloaded due to too many WiFi clients connecting in the house, since there is encryption/decryption going at all times. If you manage to connect some data-hungry devices via a wired connection, this could be a huge help. There are often monitoring options in the router menu, so one needs to check the CPU usage to make sure it's suspect.
I purchased the R8000 Nighthawk wayyy back in September 2016... and it's been running great since then. We have our living room smart TV on it, two smartphones, our home security control panel, and our thermostat on wifi. I positioned the Nighthawk carefully on a wood two-drawer filing case, and it provided excellent coverage for our smallish requirements. No buffering at all when using the Internet on our TV in the adjoining living room; no issues at all for almost six years, now (June 2022). When I bought it, others were asking if it was about to take off -- were those antennas propellers? Yes, it doesn't seem to matter how those things are pointed, so I keep all six pointed up. Great video -- looking at it two years hence.
Some great products recommended here. Good value for money and does indeed make a massive difference. Great job!🔥

Fun Fact:Every one in this video has slow WiFi
I just purchased the orbi for my home because I had dead zones and I kept dropping calls which is literally life or death for my job and it has changed my confidence when talking with people! I now do not have to worry about dropping calls again. I highly suggest the orbi!
I have the same issue and ended up reconnecting a land-line. I'm ordering the orbi today!!
My phone.calls drop standing right in front of our router. We have.frontier internet service. My phone calls drop at leat every five minutes, will this device help?
Very good information. I bought the Orbi a couple of months ago with the 2 satellites and it was fairly easy to set up through the iphone app and we have excellent coverage in the 6000 plus sq.ft. two story home. We have about 30 devices connected. Typically, 235 download and 12 upload. Pretty satisfied.
I like your show you keep it real simple and you don't overwhelm the consumer with to many useless overpriced things. Thank you and keep up the great work .
I would highly recommend the mesh Network! Matt's 100% correct with the fact that it's spectacular. Although I use the Google Wi-Fi mesh Network, I think I've read that the one Matt is suggesting is slightly better, but I've been very copy with the Google mesh Network as well. Matt, love the work you put together on this channel and great content! Keep the deals coming!
Would you ever connect one of these mesh networks after a router or does that defeat the purpose?
@@UnitedHomeExperts that's exactly what I did oh, I have a router that receives the internet in the house and then I set up from the router the mesh Network. Today my house technically has three networks, the router Network, a guest Network that is done through the mesh Network and then the mesh Network where I have full access for myself. I have found it worked incredibly well and I have no dead spots in my home. From most of my research, they all perform pretty similar and I bought a different router Network for my parents, that was cheaper than the Google Wi-Fi that I bought and they love it.
I use eagle pro mesh system- amazing
This tutorial is absolutely on point and very explanatory to the T. Great job my friend. I will be recommending your channel on my podcast. Hopefully I can have you on one day
Thanks for the timely info. I've been wondering what I could possibly do to make my doorbell video more responsive.
As a network professional, have to question your speed test results unless you were on complete separate ISPs.
This is what I thought too...all your "boost" can do is remove any external delays that you have introduced by moving too far from the main router. Also remember devices (laptops, routers, cables, etc) have specs/limits so ensure you have the necessary hardware all along the chain to achieve the speed you're trying for. Boost is not gonna give you any better than being in the same room with the main router, unless you end up switching to hard-wired and then comparing numbers against wifi.
Look closer, it was different IPs.
Great info. Bookmarking this one. Wish we could switch to a mesh system but I need to talk the techie in our house into it!

Thanks my download speed is already at 230 mp with eero devices but we are a family of 6 with over 40 devices moving into a big house in a few weeks. Super helpful definitely gonna but WiFi extenders.
We got the Amazon Eero’s mesh system and we went from 10 mbps to 95 mbps after adding it to our house! Thank you Deal Guy!!!
The thumbnail showed one for upload speed, and there other one for download speed. For most of the people, the ISP will provide you with this asymmetrical speed.
My crazy stubborn bestest friend is finally going to learn how to get wifi what crap she needs instead of all the gossip or stuff she wants to believe! Really matt this is a lifesaver cause I was going to knock some sense in her haha!!! Las Vegas native
Just wanted to let you know that I love all your videos they are extremely informative. With this one I know exactly what I’ll be getting the family for Christmas 😊
I have 12 devices connected. Didn’t realize I had so many until this video, so I’ll definitely be getting me a mesh system. Thank you for this video
Upgrade your isp service, get mesh WiFi 6, get WiFi 6 devices/recievers. Simple. Also upload is just as important in today’s modern world as download is and don’t let anybody tell you different!
I really like Almond. It updates easily. Has parental controls. Works as a router, repeater, direct connection and manages smart devices. It's so easy to set up. Has a touch screen on front. Had it set up in 8 min to set up.
I love it because it does so much.
Matt, Great work here, you continue to address things that people need to know.
Hi Matt,
My husband and I enjoyed your videos very much.
We were wondering if you could make a video of how you installed your mesh devices. I am tech savvy, however I always feel a little intimated when installing new devices.
We both look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thanks and keep it up. We have done lots of uf suggestions
The WiFi at home brought in each home a staggering fog of EMF from all the neighbors Which is bad for health. Every individual with basic knowledge knows that living cells are polarized and should know that in every cell, the shape and function of amino acids are driven electrically. Furthermore, the command for proteins to reveal the genes within the ADN to the copying machine (mARN) - to create millions of cells daily is driven electrically (not chemically). Therefore, any EMF around affects these fine processes and then people are innocently wondering "Where did I get this cancer from?". Because the proteins that cover the cancerous genes - present in each and every DNA structure of each and every individual - are driven to expose the cancerous genes, which are then read by the mARN reader, which finally builds oncogenic cells.
So Homo Sapiens, for the commodity to not pull an Ethernet cable at home, have built a toxic EMF medium in which his health is daily endangered. but because the effects are seen later, in years, nobody gives a buck on this issue.
This is not a conspiracy theory, it is simple bio-logics.
More and more powerful Wi-Fi modems are sold, to cover more and more areas, and people pay attention only to the speed (bandwidth in fact).
I worked in a radio station filled with radio equipment and what was written there in the Security procedures was thrilling, despite the fact they were less accurate and complete - because of the telecommunication industry interests.
Use an Ethernet cable, and a switch for more computers. It is faster, reliable, and most importantly, does not damage health.

Hi from Texas …ur amazing ! Thank you for everything ! Im obsessed with ur channel !!!
_Did you try the internet speed improvement he was talking about? Or you were just complementing his channel in general?_
Feeling a tad confused LOL...Been watching you for awhile today. Would you recommend the TP Link router IN ADDITION to an Eero system?
Hi Matt, I love your channel and what you're providing to us. I'm just wondering because I know that you're in the USA, but on this video, the internet speed test was showing the internet provider is Bell Canada, 2:00. I thought your deals are only in the US!
I have 68 wireless devices tapping into a Linksys Velop mesh network and I LOVE IT!
LessThanHandy 68 wireless devices that crazy.
do you have a two story house? i have that same system and honestly does not work well as my upstairs and different parts of my house do not grab any signal
Thank you so much! I used an old wifi range extender with a ethernet port and it worked wonders! doubled my speed!
The beauty of mesh systems is that one can purchase a single unit instead of a pack and still use it as a router and thus keeping the option open to expand.
I had for 2 years just a single tplink deco m5 covering upto 1800 sq foot
At 72 I still learn something new every day Thanks.
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing your views.
I do have a question based on the following scenario:
I have approx 6-7 devices connected over WiFi to my modem + 2 devices connected via LAN cable (my Smart TV and my PlayStation 4).
Let's say I would like to create 2 different channels, 1 for Gaming and 1 for all other devices, and then on the Gaming channel, I would dedicate let's say 60% of my bandwidth. The "Other Devices" channel would be dedicated the remaining 40%. In that way, the "Other Devices" consume their own bandwidth and do not interfere with my "Gaming Channel".
Is there any router or any setup that can do this? If yes, then what router would you mostly recommend please?
Thanks in advance for your much appreciated response!
In the US, spectrum routers come standard with a two channel setup. We keep a his & here setup as there are limits to the number of things we each do at one time and slow speeds are never the fault of the other person. When we have guests, I load them to my channel as my husband uses his for work.
I need a simple recommendation for increasing my speed like you demonstrated at the beginning of this video.
Reset your equipment and install newest firmware
Quite a good showcase of modern WiFi tech and an incentivization
to upgrade one's wireless network at home.
A couple of sidenotes of my own: for apartment dwellers it might be a good move to upgrade for a WiFi 6 capable home router/mesh system because of the new measures in the protocol to combat frequency congestion from other access points (i.e. wifi from neighbours scrambles your wifi as well as the other way around). Also, the rule "wire up everything that can and should be wired up" (i.e. limit wifi to handhelds/devices without an Ethernet port, and hook up stationary devices through Ethernet - either through cabling or PLC/mesh access points; USB-Ethernet dongles also might be useful, for example - for Nintendo Switch's dock station) still does apply, and in the case of mesh systems hooking up "satelite stations" to the "router station" will boost their performance even further.
I’m fortunate in that, even though my house is not tiny, a) the layout of my home means most devices are well within 5G range of the wireless access point, and b) my high-bandwidth devices (TV, desktop computer etc) are hardwired in 1G Ethernet ports. The TV’s Ethernet port is 100MB, but it has a USB 3.0 port so I’ll be obtaining a 1G Ethernet-USB converter in the next couple days. Only reason I would need a range extender is to utilize the network better when outdoors (streaming media player or whatever).
Thank you so much for this video I needed this but a question does it matter what type of plan you have for your WiFi through the provider?
ditto, yes
Find out what you’re paying for through your ISP. If you’re paying for 100mbps down and 25mbps upload, and your wireless router is only giving you 20mbps down you might need a better a router or you can try to buy the extender to better the signal to get the better speeds.
If you are more of a tech/ IT person, I got the Ubiquity Networks, unify wireless AC "Disk" access point using PoE. It is commercial grade WiFi, but it is rock solid and fast. You must run an Power over Ethernet line to it. They install right on a wall or ceiling and blend in with any trim. Yes the setup is a bit more advanced, but they will last for years.
Matt, what booster did you turn on at first??
I was thinking the same thing. Was watching and he said he would get into the booster but went into MESH and never came back to the booster. I already have ORBI but not getting that kind of jump from it. Was hoping a booster really exists.
I have the Asus ROG AC-5300 and love it! Works great for my 2600sqt home. I have google fiber internet with 21 devices connected. 1gb up and down! I live in Madison, AL.
So much people or working from home now so we need the speed. Thank you for the video stay safe👍🏿😷

This is a very informative video. What are the options for people who use a hotspot for their Wi-Fi service?
Great Video! I like how you presented it. Only one comment, Your IP address & ISP in the first and second "speedtest" is the same, but the third 900+ is different IP & ISP. And you didn't mention the bandwidth you are getting from each ISPs (Bell Canada & Rogers) Thank you for the video, it is informative.
You caught an oops ! 🤣
Love you. I learn a lot and trust your opinion. And your personality is refreshing. Keep up the great work.
In future videos, could you wrap up with a review of what you covered. By the time you got to the end, I knew I needed something you mentioned earlier on, but I couldnt recall exactly what it was.
I have 37 devices connected. My security cameras, garage door opener (connected) were lagging so decided to buy an extender. I bought TP-Link 650 and I am getting better wifi now.
Hi, what was it that you turned on, that boosted your internet speed to nearly 400mbps? I have an NBN connection, fibre to the node, nbn50 in Australia, my speed test is majority of the time, 48 to 49 mbps download and about 19 mbps upload, that’s at peak time. Regards Gary
Hi Matt,
Two things.
1. FYI: In this video, the audio goes from supper quiet, to very loud and back again, several times. I had to keep readjusting the volune either because it seemed like you were shouting, or because it soundling like you were whispering.
2. I have something called a JetPack by Verizon. It fits in my pocket, and gives me internet almost anywhere I go. Negatives: On any day, at any time, the signal strength changes, and I find myself relocating the device from one room to another trying to find a place where it will give me at least 3 bars.
Would the gadgets you presented in this video, help me with the JetPack? Or should I go to standard internet service?
Your Verizon Jetpack connects to cell phone towers. None of this will really help you since the main problem appears to be the connection between the hotspot and the cell tower. I would personally look into getting a standard internet service if possible. That should be more stable than using mobile internet.
@@JJFlores197 Thank you
Congrats on the 700k subs man!!! Love your content
It's really up to the ISP how much bandwidth you get. Since I had issues my bandwidth got throttled and I lost 8 mbps. I had to wait 4 months to get it all back... Worth it though because I bought a eero mesh which has SQM.
Now I get low ping while gaming even if other devices are watching youtube, netflix etc. SQM is the key to solving network slowdowns!
When you went to "turn on the booster" what did you turn on? What device?
I dont believe he turned anything on, speed is limited to what your ISP provides you.. you can't just boost it higher by plugging something in, thats like saying "buy this product and it'll give you every channel your t.v. provider has possible for free". It doesn't exist, its just a signal booster, similar to one's for your cell phone. Makes it so you can get wifi out at your bonfire for music. Won't boost speeds lol this guy is delusional if he's selling that.
@@zbruh7268
You didn't listen to the video. 2:25
DOESN'T BOOST INTERNET SPEED INTO YOUR HOME - just showcases Hardware that makes your Home devices RECEIVE DATA FASTER therefore increases speed ! 👍 . Good video .
You can't get any faster than your ISP is providing you with what you are paying for.
If you are paying for 123 mbps up and down you will get that. Boosting the signal will not increase that.
I believe it is smoke and mirrors. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Thank you once again for great information to improve our Internet connect. Thank you for helping improve our lives
Hello Matt !! Team Bagnasco here ♥ What is the difference between (1) a mesh and (2) a good Linksys Router with two (solid/good) "extensions" (access points? Thank you! Andre
The best router I’ve ever used is the “Netgear Nighthawk R8000” I had Spectrum 400 mbps package. Using a Arris Surfboard 6183 with the Nighthawk and with a few changes in the settings of the arris sb6183 my WiFi speed average speed is 620 mbps - 680 mbps. I have a big house and the signal is 5 bars no matter where I’m at. I loose signal outside my house when I get around 200 yards away. No signal boosters or repeaters. If your needing a router than get the Nighthawk R8000! I have 2 lap tops, 3 xboxes, 3 cell phones, 2 iPads connected and I’ve ran speed test while all of those devices were connected just to see how much it would slow down the WiFi speed and it never dropped below 600 mbps. But it’s useless if you don’t have access to broadband internet though
This was so excellent. Thanks so much! Recently discovered your channel and subscribed right away! 💖
That's good info...but must make it clear that your boosting a good signal that is purchased thru internet provider....if you have a 10 GB/s service then that's the max you'll get with boosting.
Definitely gotta show this to my hubby to prepare for our new home. ❤️👍🏽
Another way to maintain internet speed! I have an older router in the closet. When I have guests and family here, I connect that older, slower router (with a different wifi name) to one of the ports on my high speed router. Therefore, I end up with two networks. The one I use which is faster, so I get most of the speed and bandwidth juice. My guests still get reasonable speed (for their needs), but a slower amount of bandwidth juice. When they leave, I disconnect the older router. That way I go back to just one network.
The other advantage of this is, that since the slower router has its own password, your house guest NEVER have the password to the router you use normally.
I'm not saying you should do this. But if you are real friendly with a neighbor, who is having a hard time financially, this would be a way to share your internet, without them having your main password. I wouldn't do that, my neighbor all have wifi, but there a lot people who are a lot more kind hearted than me. The risk to that, is you don't know what websites your neighbor is visiting, which could pull malware and infections, into your main system. Why?
Because the guest router, is tied to your main router. Anything being consumed on the guest router, is passing through your main one.
Smart, informative, and you're pretty damn funny Matt! Great productions. Keep em coming!👍
Hi Matt,
Wondering if you could do an updated video regarding this topic. My assumption is that after 2 years, new devices have come out so it would be great to learn about them from you. Thank you so much for your content!
Matt I need your help. First of all thanks for all the great info you provide to the community! It’s great for guys like me that don’t wanna rely on Geek Squad at Best Buy. So my modem and router are connected in my home office which is located at the rear of my house. There are some devices I own that I would like to connect via Ethernet cable. Now I gather from the information you provided in this video that a mesh system would probably work best for me. But I am curious to know if you can recommend any solutions that would enable me to connect a device all the way upstairs directly to the booster/ repeater?? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
I was watching Matt tbe deal guy when I say your comment. To connect anything ethernet in your home without all the eires you can connect them with powerline adapter. They come in sets of two, and you can connect up to 32 of them in your home. Get the ones that are Gigabit. But you connect one to your router and you can use the other any where you like in your home.
Do you have coax available? Moca is an option if so.
Sounds so professional, you did a phd in electrotechnic or informatic?
Lots of them, but as a guesstimate, about 20! Great video.
I've got 72 devices connected at any given moment.
@Mannie Illescas not sure what you mean by that.
I like this guy a lot. I don't know why. He seems so cool.
Thanks :)
Thanks for the demo on mesh system
Great video! What do you think of the Bell Pods? I got a 4 pack from Bell but internet is still choppy. Are the eero pods better than the bell ones?
How have I not seen this guy before. Like that one band singing about that one place in that one time down under... he speaka my language . Thank you deal guy you just bought yourself a superfan lol which may or may not be a bad thing 😆🤫
Do you use both a booster and mesh? The video got a little confusing there. Cheers from Mount Albert, ON
Awesome help Matt, to get the erro for $199 do you need a promo code? I don’t see it for that price
I'm in Toronto as well, right now the Eero 3pack is $350. :(
And tomorrow is black Friday, doesn't look like it'll be on sale.
Great video but unless i missed it, you left out some information, such as, what is the internet speed coming into your home, is it at 90, or 300? And also, why were you only getting 15-16 at your device, is your router extremely far from your pc? is your router not capable of giving the internet speed that your ISP is providing? How did using a booster up your speed so dramatically unless the speed was always there in the first place. Pretty sure that since I pay for exactly 40 mbps, that I am not going to get more form the ISP simply because I install a booster or a mesh network. If I am wrong someone please explain--and thanks.
Hey bud, great video! Nice recommendations! I have that same tplink router lol
How good is it
@@Xlevious No issues whatsoever so it’s a def a decent router. However i ended up going to an ORBI mesh network so what I did was sell my tp link to someone else.
Comcast technician here. I am not an expert or anything but based on what I see in the field on my jobs, most of these mesh systems or extenders are pointless, and more often than not redundant. As I understand, the point of both of these is to simply provide greater WIFI coverage, but if its a pretty small house then why would you connect to the extender rather to the router wifi when you're only like 10 feet away?
Additional devices also means more stuff than can go bad or work poorly, or the not so tech savvy customers might just get confused with how this stuff works. I would say that half my clients with extenders dont even exactly know if their extenders are actually working...
If you're close to the router (like less than 20 feet) your boosters or extenders or mesh systems will just be a pointless 3rd party.
So, to me, and again I am not an expert and I just go by from what I observe every day at work, the only time you should get any extender or mesh system is if your router is far away, like over 40 feet, or there are big obstacles in the way AND your devices disconnects/gets 1-2 bars on the wifi icon. And from what I see, very few homes have distances over 40 feet (and 40 feet is by no means the limit, as my crappy phone antenna can still pick up some wifi's over 40 feet away with 3 bars)
The Deal Guy, your speed test results are simply from the fact that your router is unreasonably far away, so obviously you get poor signal strength and using an extender helps, and the mesh system helps even more. But if you were within reasonable distance to the router, you'd not see any difference on the speed test. So, again, extender/booster/mesh/whatever only help in big homes where modem is somewhere locked up in the basement.
Finally, what I see with most customers the problem is not the speed, but the stability. I see everyone go way overboard with their internet speed plan. Very few people need anything over 100. Heck, majority of us wouldnt even see a difference between 50 download and 10000000 download. So before you buy these devices, my advice is just make sure that your issue with your wifi has to do with the range, because these devices only help with that
so you get internal speed increase and choked at the modem going through the wall? you can only go as fast as the weakest link no?
You get a wireless signal “boost”. The TP extender extends your weak wireless signal so you get the better speeds that you pay for. Buy a good mesh system or a good wireless router and you won’t need to “boost” or extend your WiFi signals. You’ll be just fine.
We have Cox Cable and we have a modem and router combined in one. We also are like your home and have many things hooked up to our WiFi. Which do you recommend and which do you use for your home?
Don't matter what you have you only get what you pay for if you pay for 100 Mbps that's what you get. You will not get 850 Mbps period
