the three most relevant questions i usually have for new technology is "What" "Why" "Is it Backwards Compatible" before I care to look into the more interesting aspect of "How". You managed to answer all four questions in under 6 minutes. This is why i keep coming back Linus. Great video.
For those who are interested: 802 stands for computer communication _-(chosen because of the creation date: 1980 Feb.)-_ Sorry, I only used one source to find this one out. Most of the other sources state that It was NOT chosen because of the feb 80‘, but rather that it was the next available number. .11 for wifi (.3 eg ethernet) a device in the same network cannot differentiate between .11 and .3! (currently between .1 and .25) ac, ax, b,g,n, etc are given in alphabetical order to each new subdevision of the standard based of the ieee. (and yes there are standards like 802.11c or j) (currently between ' '[one before a] and 'aq').
802 was just the next number in the IEEE sequence. February 1980 was just a coincidence. "The project number, 802, was simply the next number in the sequence being issued by the IEEE for standards project" - grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/802%20overview.pdf
Between 1979 and 1980, lots of networking research was done by three companies known as the DIX alliance (Digital equipment corp, Intel, Xerox). This stuff was formalized as the IEEE standard "802.1" on Feb 1980 and so was given the prefix 802 (I know this because I was working in the industry back then). The suffix designated the technology so that 802.3 was Ethernet while 802.5 was token ring, etc. Remember that this started at the time that private networks like ARPAnet and ALOHAnet (two only name two of many) were being changed so they could connect together (ie. inter-network). So if a packet was expected to be properly routed between networks (or between wire technologies) then the packets needed to conform to 802.1 and 802.2
Blacksnyder ah yeah that old skin colour rubbing off on things. Nightmare with light fabric furniture. Forever cleaning damn skin stains... Or white balance.
I have class called network information security. Most of your Techquickie videos explain the technologies so well. Its more nice to watch the videos then look at the lecture slides Thank You.
These videos with this guy pretty good I like all this text stuff actually have been liking it for a long time but just recently got a job at Best Buy in my area never thought about it but it's good it's cool to be around all that new technology I mean they got everything with Wi-Fi and I mean I've seen grills today with having Wi-Fi like it's crazy how you can control everything nowadays or new things come out so fast
AD used 60 ghz so is fast but only if you are near the router and can't through walls. AX will do that because it's used 5ghz signal. Its an evolution of AC.
802.11ad (which runs at 60GHz) is basically wireless at wired speeds and latency, but with a really small range that doesn't make it practical for mobile devices. It is good for stationary ones that you don't want to plug a cable into for some reason and other devices that need high bandwith, but you wouldn't want a cable sticking out of them, like VR headsets. There's 802.11ay (also at 60GHz), which should be the next wireless standard for these use cases.
Well at least it's better than AD wifi. That was a complete joke. _Look we made wireless as fast as wired, but only in a scenario where a wire would be easy and more reliable!_
Hi Linus! My husband is a big fan of yours. He always watch your videos everyday. So I was wondering if you could make a video for him on his birthday? We are from the Philippines. So I hope you can grant my request! :) It will make him very happy for sure. Btw, his birthday is on Oct 8th. Your response will be greatly appreciated. :)
The confusion over the nomenclature is exactly why it got relabeled as "Wi-Fi 6" instead of having "802.11ax" be its market name like previous generations, which have been retroactively named "Wi-Fi 1" (802.11b) "2" (a) "3" (g) "4" (n) and "5" (ac). And yes, 802.11b comes before 802.11a in this new numbering scheme. This is a bit odd (though of course there are reasons for it) but it's unlikely to cause any confusion because they're so obsolete.
I’ve been following LTT for a while but only just found this channel. Nice to have concise wrap ups on key information even if it’s things I learnt in college (which was admittedly over a decade ago) as well as round ups on new developments like in this video. * Subscribes *
It's 802 dot ELEVEN and it's the Article in the IEEE library - Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. Not confusing. By the way, Bluetooth is 802.15(a).
ac only improves traffic efficiency on the ap side, linked devices benefit by accessing data at same time instead of waiting in line. look up "gps-sync" on ubiquiti ac devices and youll see what i mean..
The BSS coloring thing is remarkable... Wireless devices these days use CSMA/CA to prevent collision issues. Having that knocked out would be absolutely incredible.
ad didn't replace ac, just like ax isn't replacing ad. ay is the one that replaces ad and uses 60GHz. There's no reason to use ad for mobile phones, as the Wi-Fi area was very limited. It is good for something like HTC Vive, which uses ad if you want it to be wireless, as the space you could use it in was already limited and there's much lower latency when using this connection.
I have been working on 802.11ax since 2015 and got two publications on IEEE regarding 11ax standard, that being said after watching this clip, he is good and nailed it! Now working on TWT(Target wake up time). If interested in discussing more on wireless systems especially WLANs/WiFi let me know.
I just checked and FAPs in the old house Studio used to be better color graded. How come the '' newly'' created studio green screen is worse in emitting green color of its fabric / paint than the old one?
So when referring to channels, are we talking about like 2.4 ghz and 5.0 ghz getting split up into like 2.41 , 2.43,etc or the 1-14 channels of 2.4 ghz getting split up
Linus should read the CWSP book. WiFi technology is labeled 802.11, Ethernet is 802.3. The letter after the number signifies the work group of engineers that worked on a specific part of the 802.11 technology. For instance 802.11a group worked on 5Ghz. They just work their way down the alphabet. You've never heard of 802.11i but it exist and is in all 802.11 WiFi. It deals with security requirements, WPA2.
the inetween revisions were already included into wifi routers as they were about QoS, signal production, etc. with stuff that consumers usual do not care about but enjoy the benefits from
Suggestion: how to setup wireless well on a house. What channels to use, positioning, important router settings, etc. Struggling with wifi and not really sure how to get everything setup the best way for performance.
Hey Linus, love the channel! I'm learning a lot from just watching the videos I've seen so far. I keep forgetting to post it in the comment section but I wanted to ask which smart watch you have? You should think about making a video on different smart watches and skiing comparisons. Unless you already have and I just missed it...
Lol I've noticed this too on more than one occasion. Doesn't really bother me but I do like it when he uses proper Canadian as well as metric units and Canadian currency. So much of the internet that we see over here already panders to Americans so it's nice to see content--especially popular content--that reminds people the western hemisphere is not just the USA. It's also nice not having to convert units in my head =)
if i buy a new router (for ex: 4:52) what do i do? do i just disconnect the old routers Ethernet cable & connect it to the new one? i also have Netgear Router, i donno if that matters
Maybe but the content has certainly downgraded. The older videos are much more informative than the newer ones and have a cleaner look to them. Maybe most people don't find that interesting but I like the boring thumbnail with a title which would atleast teach me something. The newer videos looks like those top 10 life hacks videos.
As a RF/DSP engineer, this is the first time I have heard anyone refer to MIMO as "mii-mo". Throughout school and my carrier, everyone I have met pronounces it as "mai-mo".
So too fully optimize the benefits of this new 802.11ax, you need to upgrade both the access points and the user devices right? Meaning if you only upgrade the access point but sid not upgrade your user devices, then you will not reap the benefits of ax right? Which specific part of the user devices need to be upgraded? Is it their software, hardware, or something else?
@ what do you mean "it depends"? What im trying to say is, if they just keep on upgrading or developing new tech for the wifi infra which will only cater new devices, then it will not be very beneficial to the users with old devices... imean if my device is just an 802.11n, will it be able to take part of that ofdma for example? Or do i need to have an 802.11ax phone for that?
@@ronirickpacheco4335 Galaxy 10's and OnePlus 7 Pro are the only mainstream handheld devices that support AX as of now. Intel has their AX adapter on some newly released high-end PC motherboards too. That's about it for now. OFDMA is only used in the AX standard. AC and older standards are not capable of using that architecture. Edit: If you don't have a Wi-Fi 6-enabled device, there are aftermarket adapters available on Amazon. The bottom line on upgrading now: If you're currently using a Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) router with a mix of Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 clients, and it's getting the job done, there's no reason to replace it with a Wi-Fi 6 router. On the other hand, if you're building a new network or always upgrading devices every year and want to be ready for the onslaught of Wi-Fi 6 clients that will eventually hit the shelves, future-proofing with a Wi-Fi 6 router is a smart choice. Just be aware that the technology is likely to evolve and additional features could be added at a later time.
@@poitiers2853 then am i right to say that you will not reap these AX benefits unless you upgrade all those clients first. What will be the experience then if you have mixed users? Say 80% non-ax compliant and only 20% ax compliant user devices?
@@poitiers2853 sorry i forfot to read the rest of your message and actually that's my other point. If you build this new network with these new ax devices, we will be saying that we are furure proofing but as you have said it, there will be new tech again on that future and new user devices again are needed to benefit from it. My point is why not make the next upgrade to cater as well the older user devices? And i think peobably the answer is more on commercial side. Maybe they just need more money.. hahahah
Do all of the features of AX require client devices to have AX supported? Or can an AX router do certain things (like per-device bandwidth allocation) even with N/AC devices?
Long time fan here. I think you should make a new video on how to remotely control you PC. I am looking into it and the only semi helpful video was the NCIX Tech Tips video but that was from 2014. Thanks
Sounds promising. Wonder if the improvements will help to extend the effective range (that is to say, improve reliability at the edge of the network). Would be nice to be able to use 5GHz all the time (2.4GHz is unusable at times, no thanks to Bluetooth).
So how does Wifi 6 (802.11ax) deal with client devices with the recent standards like 802.11a/b/g/n/ac? Does the 802.11ax features only good for 802.11ax client devices?
Not calling it "wireless AF" was definitely a missed opportunity.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11#802.11af
Dang it!! I thought for sure no one else would have posted that yet!
Dang it! I just commented that!
This should have 1k likes tbh.
Update 1 month later: Great Job reaching 1000k likes!
In November 2019 we're gonna have wireless ay.
ayyyy
What's next? 802.11rgb?
yes
Yes.
YEs..
Yes
Don't give them ideas.
Linus, did you eat that golden thermalpaste again?...
Bram De Laet it's baby poo
Bram De Laet LMAO
lol
i thought maybe jaundice?
the three most relevant questions i usually have for new technology is "What" "Why" "Is it Backwards Compatible" before I care to look into the more interesting aspect of "How". You managed to answer all four questions in under 6 minutes. This is why i keep coming back Linus. Great video.
WiFi 6 now, Linus was right on
What does 6 fall under? Or is it just "6" ??
AX still.
Of course they announced a new standard. I bought a new router two months ago. I'm surprised it took them this long.
Scitenik I'm sticking with my $15 Rosewill 150 until it dies on me.
Well you see its not easy to develope New wifi types plus Asus is the only Company with Ax routers so...
LOL
3:27 WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY 200$ FUSION5 LAPTOP SCREEN?
CRAPPY
AND WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY $200 ASUS X551MA LAPTOP SCREEN?! Actually, it is crappy...typical TN fare.
Crappy laptop screen
Fight him, Linus
i might deck out my setup with everything fusion5 has of their store
2:49 The non-crossing lines at the middle are oddly satisfying....
LOLL'I579 and yet they do cross!
They do cross, but the fact they are dotted confuses the fuck out of your brain and the line looks like it curves to avoid the other line xD
Yeah like others have said, they do cross, your brain is just confused and trying to "bend" the lines
Noticed but still satisfying :D
The midtones in the video are slightly too yellow.
MynameisMads You.... are correct. I can't unsee it now.
It must be the BS color feature.
I thought the same thing, his hands look yellow...did Linus forget to wash after...egummm...
I imagine it's due to green screen reflection? Either way the editor needs to do some color correction on that.
nosferatu5 I dont think so they usually dont have this problem
For those who are interested:

+Lurick You bothered with trying CompTIA Network+? Sounds like you got enough wisdom to back this stuff up (fact wise)
i thought 802 stands for 1980 February (80's 2nd month)... i was taught wrong. O.o
802 was chosen because of this and it stands for computer communication.
802 was just the next number in the IEEE sequence. February 1980 was just a coincidence. "The project number, 802, was simply the next number in the sequence being issued by the IEEE for standards project" - grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/802%20overview.pdf

why is your face and hands
yellow?
Loz Turner right? It's like that in a lot of their videos but I don't know why.
I think it’s from when his hands were covered in CPU thermal compound, like submerged in it. That was a while ago.
Isn't his wife Asian?
Loz Turner
Because their video editor doesn't know what white balencing is.
Blacksnyder ah yeah that old skin colour rubbing off on things. Nightmare with light fabric furniture. Forever cleaning damn skin stains...

I was going to "ax" a question but never mind.
My mind is enlightened
I hope it will not die before we try it
underrated
I don’t think that will occur.
I Imagine a lot of work went into making this video direct and to the point, thanks.
SUGGESTION: how you should charge your phone?
SUGGESTED ANSWER: with electricity ;)
Sorry ..... :)
Wirelessly
Put in the microwave. 1 second for each 10 pct battery you want to recharge.
Someone trickle charger.
Darren Woloshyn no, never, you should never ever do that, ever.
These videos with this guy pretty good I like all this text stuff actually have been liking it for a long time but just recently got a job at Best Buy in my area never thought about it but it's good it's cool to be around all that new technology I mean they got everything with Wi-Fi and I mean I've seen grills today with having Wi-Fi like it's crazy how you can control everything nowadays or new things come out so fast
what about AD??
Unreliable
Let me just say, at least AD makes a semblance of sense! They started to follow a pattern, then ditched it... What a surprise
AD used 60 ghz so is fast but only if you are near the router and can't through walls. AX will do that because it's used 5ghz signal. Its an evolution of AC.
AD was... basically pointless. Only worked with line of sight over a short range, so, like, the scenario where a wire would be easy.
802.11ad (which runs at 60GHz) is basically wireless at wired speeds and latency, but with a really small range that doesn't make it practical for mobile devices. It is good for stationary ones that you don't want to plug a cable into for some reason and other devices that need high bandwith, but you wouldn't want a cable sticking out of them, like VR headsets. There's 802.11ay (also at 60GHz), which should be the next wireless standard for these use cases.
Correction: Single stream 802.11ac is 433mbps
Well at least it's better than AD wifi. That was a complete joke. _Look we made wireless as fast as wired, but only in a scenario where a wire would be easy and more reliable!_

Best quick Wifi 6 explanation on UA-cam!
3yrs later and I'm just getting my wifi6 setup
You probably have something to do with the recent Wifi naming changes. Now Wifi 1 to 6. Nice job.
1:27 - Theoretical max speed for N is 300Mbps.
Really
The confusion over the nomenclature is exactly why it got relabeled as "Wi-Fi 6" instead of having "802.11ax" be its market name like previous generations, which have been retroactively named "Wi-Fi 1" (802.11b) "2" (a) "3" (g) "4" (n) and "5" (ac).

Do you actually need a wifi 6 compatible device to take advantage of the features that you've talked about?
Yes
Why are your hands orange? 1:43-1:44 if ur wondering...
Cheetos
this guy's awesome.. 😂.. UA-cam at its best.. natural n informative... congrats.. will subscribe.. 👍🏽
Nice arms at 1:35
Was waiting for this one. Thanks!
This is so Xciting ;)
It's 802 dot ELEVEN and it's the Article in the IEEE library - Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. Not confusing. By the way, Bluetooth is 802.15(a).
What? 802.11ax? Couldn't even upgrade my modem to ac yet tho.
Well, it's a good thing this is the real world, and not a shitty RPG, so you can skip that generation LuL
:D Will I get banned for skipping upgrades irl? Hope it is not considered cheating.
ac only improves traffic efficiency on the ap side, linked devices benefit by accessing data at same time instead of waiting in line. look up "gps-sync" on ubiquiti ac devices and youll see what i mean..
I'm still on N so shut up.
im on N, shitty cheap router that has costed me dozens of competitive match lost in csgo..
Watching in 2021. I didn’t realize it was an old video. But here in the future I’ve never heard about AX.
MORE WIFI , MORE POOOOWER!
The BSS coloring thing is remarkable... Wireless devices these days use CSMA/CA to prevent collision issues. Having that knocked out would be absolutely incredible.
anyone else notice the horrible green tint on the skin tones? someone fucked up editing..
Coz his is standing in front of a green screen, which produces green ambient light.
Kevin Corbett I don’t see it...
ignasb
Isn’t Linus Media Group a video production company?
ignasb if you think they didn't notice this or are not familiar with filming, you are not very smart.
Looks orange on mine...somebody played with some fake sunscreen or has jaundice lol
What about wifi 6E. Did that change the letters any?
It actually didn't.
So ad is just dead? I was wondering why there wasn’t any devices coming out with support. Then again it is not like 60gz is practical.
No ad is getting superseded by 802.11ay which quadruples the bandwidth and adds mu-mimo
ad didn't replace ac, just like ax isn't replacing ad. ay is the one that replaces ad and uses 60GHz. There's no reason to use ad for mobile phones, as the Wi-Fi area was very limited. It is good for something like HTC Vive, which uses ad if you want it to be wireless, as the space you could use it in was already limited and there's much lower latency when using this connection.

my boy is looking more yellow as the days go by
Whichever video editor chroma keyed this video needs a bashing. Or perhaps the person responsible for lightning. Linus looks awful.
Where does Linus always get the new tech info? Surprised I never heard of AX before!
Same question
Sadly no response ™️
Same question but sadly no response
What happened to 802.11AD?
AD signals is really bad if you put a card board box in front of the router you will lose connection. he did a video about it
adblock
The new Samsung s9 will support 802.11ad
I just checked and FAPs in the old house Studio used to be better color graded. How come the '' newly'' created studio green screen is worse in emitting green color of its fabric / paint than the old one?
WiFi: Another great Australian invention.
I know, but I just love saying it because everyone here thinks Australia invented WiFi because of the CSIRO thing.
Actually CSIRO did invent WiFi and get paid a royalty. The person who made a standard didn't invent the idea and the first proof of concept.
Nope. They accidentally stumbled upon what would later become a major technology in WiFi. CSIRO are patent trolls.
So when referring to channels, are we talking about like 2.4 ghz and 5.0 ghz getting split up into like 2.41 , 2.43,etc or the 1-14 channels of 2.4 ghz getting split up
802.11xxx
802.11XXX when wifi goes hardcore..
no thank you
Linus should read the CWSP book. WiFi technology is labeled 802.11, Ethernet is 802.3. The letter after the number signifies the work group of engineers that worked on a specific part of the 802.11 technology. For instance 802.11a group worked on 5Ghz. They just work their way down the alphabet.
You've never heard of 802.11i but it exist and is in all 802.11 WiFi. It deals with security requirements, WPA2.
The WiFi that never lags your po--,,, Fancy Videos!
It’s worth noting that OFDMA is also key to the functioning of DOCSIS 3.1.
Wireless 802.11ac has 433 Mbit/s per spatial stream, not 866.
Linus can i ask what is the most vheap gpu appropriate for my asus p5kpl am epu motherboard?
More like *Wireless AF*
Marley you beat me to it.
Missed opportunity.
802.3af is a Power over Ethernet standard already.
Copied comment
the inetween revisions were already included into wifi routers as they were about QoS, signal production, etc. with stuff that consumers usual do not care about but enjoy the benefits from
We want 802.11af. Thumbs up if you are with me.
Suggestion: how to setup wireless well on a house. What channels to use, positioning, important router settings, etc. Struggling with wifi and not really sure how to get everything setup the best way for performance.

Hey Linus, love the channel! I'm learning a lot from just watching the videos I've seen so far. I keep forgetting to post it in the comment section but I wanted to ask which smart watch you have? You should think about making a video on different smart watches and skiing comparisons. Unless you already have and I just missed it...
Fake canadian channel spelling colour, color... SHAME, SHAME!!!
Mirek Heikkila you had to be that guy...
Most of his audience is US based, so shut it.
Lol I've noticed this too on more than one occasion. Doesn't really bother me but I do like it when he uses proper Canadian as well as metric units and Canadian currency.
So much of the internet that we see over here already panders to Americans so it's nice to see content--especially popular content--that reminds people the western hemisphere is not just the USA. It's also nice not having to convert units in my head =)
There's not really a "correct" way to spell, it's all arbitrarily made up in equal measure. Also ya'll need Manifest Destiny.
Colour - British spelling (like, flavour, humour, honour). Color - US.
if i buy a new router (for ex: 4:52) what do i do? do i just disconnect the old routers Ethernet cable & connect it to the new one? i also have Netgear Router, i donno if that matters
Probably not first
Quit it xD
You picked the wrong house, foo’.
Not first
Super nice and super informative!

you are working hard and doing a great job keep rocking!!!!! and keep doing what you doing!! peace
Production quality has gone up so much in the past three years
Maybe but the content has certainly downgraded. The older videos are much more informative than the newer ones and have a cleaner look to them. Maybe most people don't find that interesting but I like the boring thumbnail with a title which would atleast teach me something. The newer videos looks like those top 10 life hacks videos.
Excellent video very helpful
This video made me study more and interested at 2AM!
Is it only me or the video looks speed up? Btw props to who wrote the script! 👍🏻
Hey Linus please make a video on different versions of Bluetooth.
And also different OS that one can download on his system (difference between them).
As a RF/DSP engineer, this is the first time I have heard anyone refer to MIMO as "mii-mo". Throughout school and my carrier, everyone I have met pronounces it as "mai-mo".
Someone needs to playlist these for the A+
No there are in-between products and a lot of them make it into the product.
WEP, WPA, (2 enhancements to WPA) all have 802.11 letters.
What's going to become of the 802.11ad that was supposed to start showing up this year?
Thank you 👍👍👍👍

The bottom line on upgrading now: If you're currently using a Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) router with a mix of Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 clients, and it's getting the job done, there's no reason to replace it with a Wi-Fi 6 router. On the other hand, if you're building a new network or always upgrading devices every year and want to be ready for the onslaught of Wi-Fi 6 clients that will eventually hit the shelves, future-proofing with a Wi-Fi 6 router is a smart choice. Just be aware that the technology is likely to evolve and additional features could be added at a later time.
@@poitiers2853 then am i right to say that you will not reap these AX benefits unless you upgrade all those clients first. What will be the experience then if you have mixed users? Say 80% non-ax compliant and only 20% ax compliant user devices?
And where can i find this list of user devices that are ax compliant?
@@poitiers2853 sorry i forfot to read the rest of your message and actually that's my other point. If you build this new network with these new ax devices, we will be saying that we are furure proofing but as you have said it, there will be new tech again on that future and new user devices again are needed to benefit from it. My point is why not make the next upgrade to cater as well the older user devices? And i think peobably the answer is more on commercial side. Maybe they just need more money.. hahahah
Will the "color" feature help with congestion on existing wireless networks, or only when all the networks are on AX?

Got a question
What router do you sugest no mater what circumstances
I have a question though, do you need a client device with the new standard to be able to use the new technologies such as OFDMA?
awesome, concise and accurate as always!
1:52 Thunderbolt 4 over 3 basically.
Do all of the features of AX require client devices to have AX supported? Or can an AX router do certain things (like per-device bandwidth allocation) even with N/AC devices?
Long time fan here. I think you should make a new video on how to remotely control you PC. I am looking into it and the only semi helpful video was the NCIX Tech Tips video but that was from 2014. Thanks
@Techquickie Possible video quality concern. Linus' palms look a little too yellow.
Color correction may be needed. I hope it's not a health concern.
The documentation was just released, and word is that MU-MIMO uplink was taken out : /
isnt usually "X" from 801.11ax stand for experiment?, like nsx, Bell x-1(experimental aircraft)...?
Sounds promising. Wonder if the improvements will help to extend the effective range (that is to say, improve reliability at the edge of the network). Would be nice to be able to use 5GHz all the time (2.4GHz is unusable at times, no thanks to Bluetooth).
Where is the link to Amazon of Linus?
So how does Wifi 6 (802.11ax) deal with client devices with the recent standards like 802.11a/b/g/n/ac? Does the 802.11ax features only good for 802.11ax client devices?
And here I thought it was going to be a updated revision of the 802.x that businesses use.
When will next number or letter combo after 802.11 whatever after the new ax?
but why is it 802.11? was that the stream rate in Mb/s at some point?
But what is with the ad standard?
exxxxxiting linus you crack me up...
