  • How the heck can tri band wireless access points claim to be so much faster than dual band when they use the same wireless AC standard?

    hey linus, here are some suggestions for your next video
    a video about:
    -Chokes, diodes, capacitors, mosfets, alloys & more
    OR
    -kernels(Linux, windows NT, Monolithic (UNIX' kernel) etc),
    OR
    -firmware
    OR
    -wattage, voltage, amperage, ohms & more
    OR
    -VRM, Digi VRM & Digi+ VRM (with the addition of power phases)
    OR
    -Filesystems (fat32, ntfs, ext4 etc)
    OR
    -Omron mouse switches
    OR
    -Polling rate/refresh rate of a mouse. (would be a good addition to your mice afaps)
    OR
    -Contrast ratio/QR code/Kalih, Topra & Romer G switches (this is just a worst case scenario suggestion)
    i'm not giving up until you do a video of my suggestions >__>

    Someone is making a rookie mistake @ 1:55
    Linus says 1300 megabit. Text in video says 1300MB.
    MB = Mega Byte
    Mb = Mega bit
    Units are case-sensitive. Just like mb would actually mean milli bit.

    key points:
    > tri-band routers use multiple wireless radio bands
    > tri-band increases wifi bandwidth
    > depending on the wifi standard, tri-band routers are set up differently
    > tri-band routers typically add an extra 5GHz (or 6GHz) band to increase bandwidth
    > mesh wifi is when a router is combined with multiple satellites to expand wifi signals
    > mesh wifi reserve a band for routers and satellites

    Hey Linus I had a question we recently "upgraded" our interent by connecting 2 broadbands to act as one. But I thought it would be better to just upgrade the modem and have 2 broadbands acting separately so there would be less traffic. Do you think that's correct?

  • @bruno-vicious
    @bruno-vicious 6 років тому +1

    Hey Linus all good points. But I want to add for your viewers. That polite conversation share between devices is not only for your WiFi but your neighbors WiFi as well even if they are on two different networks. The objective is to have a clean and efficient spectrum space with as few collisions as possible. I remember when I worked at uverse as a technical support specialist my trainer told us not to use the recommended channels 1, 6 and 11. He said the reason why is because everyone else is using them and even auto channels tend to frequent those channels as well. Seem only logical right? Problem is he was ignoring the side band cross talk. The reason 1, 6 and 11 is recommended is because of the size of the bandwidth on the frequencies those three channels do not overlap eliminating cross talk. That said you are more likely to have a better communication on a congested channel because you are participating in conversation rather than trying to talk over a conversation because of side band noise. So I hope that is informative for people who think they are clever two avoid congested channels. You are not and you are only hurting the radio space and creating more congestion for yourself and everyone else.

      @MysteicVoltronus 8 років тому +2

      You can't. If it is just one device, you are connected on 1 band at 150 mbps with the other band waiting for anything else so it doesn't mess with your connection. I wouldn't think twice about it though since that is 18.75 MB/s which should me much faster than your Internet is capable of anyway. Think of it like a highway that has two lines and you are driving a car that can't reach the speed limit. You can drive as fast as you possible can and not worry about it and if another car shows up, you can continue to do so.
