You just know that Linus having to settle for WiFi 5 due to the unavailability of 8 access points in the more expensive model is going to bother him for months. Stay tuned for a video coming soon where Linus finally upgrades to WiFi 6 because 200 Mbps outside is just not acceptable any more. I give it what, 6 months tops?
"CONCRETE between each of the floors [...] which tends to seriously reduce your signal strength" I live in European country and most buildings here have atleast 20+ cm (7.9+ inches) of solid, steel reinforced, concrete between floors which is absolute pain for WiFi. Also, it doesn't help that every indoor-wall is also build with thick aerated concrete blocks. I'm glad that i could cheaply obtain some (fairly new) Cisco Aironet AP's from my workplace after they upgraded to WiFi-6, otherwise i would have had to spend way too much money for my WiFi setup.
Personally in my parent house I said f*** off and put cat 5a in all the room… I had to do this while my parent where on holiday. I had to open all walls on the back of the plate we have at the base of the wall to hide cabling and make place for the Ethernet cable. But I never had a connectivity problem at all… Best thing ever…
Honestly, if you have a multistorey home in Europe, your best bet is to have an electrician run ethernet throughout the existing electrical channels. I'm sure it can be done, although I haven't done it.
It's actually crazy the change in scope of Linus's channel as it and he have grown.

In the next episode: Linus gets a visit from the local regulatory agencies investigating what is causing massive interference with every 2.4 and 5GHz network within a half km or more.
as someone who uses/installs Ruckus gear, I can tell you, their stuff has proper RF shielding and will automatically adjust broadcast power to best optimize range and its antenna arrays means that it only needs to beam signals towards the device as it needs to, so if anything a Ruckus setup will generate less interference than an equivalent say Ubiquiti access point, which basically has no shielding. Look at the inside of a Ruckus and look at the inside of a Ubiquiti and I think you'll understand a little better. You don't need masses of power if you're clever about how you use it.
@@richardyao9012 a) it's called a joke, and b) it was mainly referring to the ginormous transmit power of having eight long-range access points clustered together like that. I'm entirely aware that it'll most likely work out just fine.
@@chrisjc2k Hey, you're no fun. Also, regardless of shielding, beamforming, adjusting transmit strength to reach connected devices etc, that's still an insane amount of transmit power wihtin two relatively packed frequency bands in a very small area. As I said above, no doubt it'll be fine, but it's still pretty bonkers.
I live on a farm.... I would love this. Also, 6k sq foot home, that is a large a$$ home. I just want to say, Linus, you are a legit success story. You're a entrepreneurial inspiration, keep on rocking, LMG.
Holy shit. Look up 6,000 square foot homes. It literally is a mansion. What the actual f**k does anybody need that for in a housing crisis. No personal hate against Linus... But Jesus Christ
@@Nick-hm9rh Not only is he the manager of LMG, but also it's chief talent/spokesman. Plus they have 14m subs. At $5/1000 views, the 5 billions views would have made the channel $25m over 12 years (2m/year), with the majority being recent (more like 4m/year). But they do sponsors and stuff, so they're making more than that (Double? 8m/year). And they have the store (???). All told, yeah, as the head honcho and head talent, he's got some money.
Also, I’m glad that there are more consumer friendly lower costs versions if the stuff Linus uses for his wifi. We use eero mesh wifi devices, and they came with our wifi package, but they’re more in the small hundreds,band I think even come in bundles. Tho you will have to buy a switch or something, cuz they don’t have more than 1 Ethernet port like most modems.

Nah, not 'basically anything'. But he's got a fair bit of influence in the tech sector, yes. Still, some companies (like Apple) will never send anything to anyone.
I appreciate the secondary test at the end of the video where you show the performance of a single WAP. We install these all the time and would have done a project like this with 2-3 units depending on the client wanting outdoor coverage or not. While I love the "Tesla Model S Plat" approach, clients should also know they don't need to spend $10K to have great WIFI in their homes. Thanks for an awesome video. We will definitely share.
Thank you for this. At my work the WiFi that was installed before my time, the APs were actually installed too close together, causing issues with the service the users were getting. We just had a wireless survey done and the recommendation is to remove 8 out of 18 access points. 🤯
2:26 Linus demonstrates that even he plays the "stuff stolen from the office" game. Busted. Also, amen to having a low-voltage contractor do your runs for you. I did 20 runs in my new house and never will again.
@@ssl3546 He owns most of the company making him the primary for everything. He would be in a good position if he decides to sell rest of his ownership to the investors and retire easily. He won't retire anytime soon as he likes doing what he is doing. :)
@@ssl3546 please point me to where he says he has had private investors? Last time I checked him and his wife own 100% of the company with no outside investment.
For anyone confused by the speed being better while standing still: the way the signal is decoded is by the AP treating the physical degradation/attenuation/reflection/etc. as a matrix solution to an equation (it's called the 'channel' factor, a literal physical description of what the signal's path is doing), it can then use that to properly read the incoming signal (basically clean signal * channel effects = received signal, received signal / channel effects = clean signal). So standing still means the channel effects don't change, so there's no need to recompute a solution due to signal loss.
@@Tosti_bakker Yeah, I considered giving the proper matrix explanation of the equation but I figured talking about inverse matrices and least square approximations might be a bit much
Hi Linus, as you mention the issues with LG TV connectivity, some TVs just have bad network cards. Take this from former AT&T tech support, I dealt with this issue on daily basis.
Because of you guys I’ll have to remodel my home so I have a server room where I’ll put all of this sick stuff you show recently! This internet speed is amazing!
The main value add of good Wifi and networking is it makes a decent Internet package worthwhile. The converse is that crappy Wifi makes high speed Internet past 100 Mbps effectively valueless. It’s a necessity to have good Wifi coverage and to never settle for ISP-provided devices.
As riDDimann said most people for any serious reason even at the home level is going to rely on a hard wired connection. Why spend 600+ for a solid wifi router when depending on your location you may need additional access points anyways when for Likely less than 300 for a couple cheap switches and if you're willing to terminate your own wires you can do an entire house and get the maximum throughput of your connection.
Just hard wire your place with min. CAT6 if you got the walls open anyways, much more future proof. This 10k wifi setup will be outdated in 5 years and not everybody will have a sponsor ;)
Yvonne: Actually, we were wondering when we could move into our new house? We've been living on the sets at the office for months now... Linus: Right after the segue to our sponsor! Yvonne: Please, Linus, there's no running water in the kitchen set...
@@radradR0bot i don't see the problem with that, in a lot of cultures kids still stay with their parents as long as they want cause like joint families are a thing. some people live with their parents after getting married too
"Just like money can buy this sponsor spot" Linus is not only advertising glassware, but he is also advertising where you can pay them to put your ad in the video.
Not mine cause the shit he's getting into is beyond what 99.99% of normal people would ever care about. "Oh yeah totally I was just planning on doing a $50k network upgrade..."
As a technician in the technology field, you guys should know that when you're toning out shielded cat cable, it's very difficult to get an inductive tone with the wand on the sheathing of the cable. You would be better off testing the ends of the cable, or if you had a different toner, you could connect the positive to the cat cable, and the negative to earth ground. That makes them SCREAM😂. Super helpful
Yes and no, the induction should be just fine if the source is powerful enough. Your standard toner is only 9V and doesn't give much amplification. Shielded cable can really complicate things, so the shield should be clipped in this case which would provide great sheath detection of tone. We do it all the time.
Just to add to this make sure you set ofdm only and adjust your minrates for roaming on your main ssid.The signal on these waps are pretty crazy and you wont roam nicely. Also setup the wifi calling option and enable the auto adjust ap power under services
@@MrAdeelAH I think because of different regulations, some places say that you cannot have concrete floors above ground level, so the floors would have to be made with wood.
Yeah, that's so weird. I don't think i've ever lived in a house that didn't have concrete floors. I would be more surprised if it wasn't concrete, if i'm honest.
We live on a farm and we recently got a Netgear Orbi mesh wifi system. My brother claims he got wifi on the other hill across the road, probably half a KM away and was able to send messages. Goes to show how much impact a wall can have on connectivity.
5:40 There is a relatively cheap substance called RTV silicon. I would recommend using some in this instance if you would like to keep your connectors safe from water & corrosion damage long term.
2:05 Linus says that in his front and backyard the wifi is "not really usuable"... *gets 41mbps, which is only 10mbps slower than my ethernet connection*

I'd be extremely happy with 100Mbps for my wifi, I sometimes get 40-50 on good days which is rare. Most of the time if have to put up with 14Kbps-4Mpbs.
We moved house and our ISP sent us a new router (our ISP uses Fritz Boxes). Thing is, they never ask to send the old one back and it has a mesh-network setting! So we placed the new one near the front door as master, and took the old one and placed it near the backdoor. (LAN connected) Our house is not very big, but the whole house from front yard to back yard (+shed) has perfect WiFi now! FOR FREE :D (You might be able to buy a used one for like $5,- or $10,-!) It can mesh using a cable or by extending WiFi. :D
It's too easy to get spoiled to faster download speeds! I live on the edge of my town and just recently got access to 100mbps+ speeds thru spectrum (I average about 400mbps down via ethernet & 200mbps over 5G) & I honestly It has made me impatient with my 4G data connection (averages 40-50mbps) on my phone xD
When else would you do it? I mean you need to cable that stuff... imagine being all done, setting up wifi and noticing you misplanned something and need a cable somewhere you really can't easily get to now.
Uh...yeah. seems like the best time to do it, considering routing the ethernet cable through walls and ceilings is easier when the walls and ceilings aren't finished.
As someone who’s house recently finished being a construction zone, hell yeah that’s the best time to do it, when else are your ceilings, floorboards and even the inside of your walls accessible without making a huge mess? Especially as I’m in a plasterboard on mortar situation for the walls and can’t just fish a cable through the wall space. Now I’m going to need to find a weekend when the SO’s out to prep, install and clean up a roof AP, assuming I don’t need to fix any cockups in the process
What I dont get is why didnt he mount the access points in the ceiling? When the drywallers come in to finish off they can just put an access panel in. Everything would be hidden then. Unless it needs to be in the open for some reason but if its going through concrete it should be fine.
i love that the tape on the ladder specifically "do not remove from 101" boss man don't give a fuck. Linus is like "I got a video to make in my home, Figure it out 101"
Linus will never install an "end game" wireless access point. There will always be newer, better overkill options. And it's Linus, so we would expect constant upgrades. Interesting stuff on this series. We are about to do a complete remodel on our home, and I'm going to smartify everything I can. No holding back. I plan to copy a lot of what Linus is doing. Especially with the "smart home" upgrades, including the actuated dampers using sensors. Definitely doing that.
UA-cam alone won't get you near this kind of money. This is from not only working in the tech industry, this is from working DEEP SEEDED into the tech industry. It's fucking insane having this kind of wifi for goddamn sure
@@JJFlores197 for sure. Bandwidth with 100mbps download speed is more than enough for me, but 500mbps is OP. Downloading a game takes me less than a minute, it's crazy.

LOL, but it has a cool screen. I thought the same thing. The only UBNT switch im using is the USW Flex Mini, because its outside with no power, and powers itself over POE from other switches.
Ruckus is the best Wifi on the planet - hands down. Been installing their hardware for over a decade in both USA and Norway - fantastic RF technology! Of course, I also rock the Ruckus at my house! 🎉😁 👍
My soul died a little when you said "Oh, we don't need the tester, we can just plug this right into the switch" at 6:50. A switch does not test/verify/certify cables, that is literally what the fluke exists for. Some switches can do little physical tests where they will tell you the rough length of each pair using TDR, and they will test pinout. Cisco switches only show the length of the pair, not of individual wires, I don't remember what Ubiquity switches do offhand. The fluke measures that on each wire, but also measures things like near/far/alien crosstalk, and tests the signals at every megahertz value up beyond the spec being tested. There are many cases where a cable will pass a switch's test or one of those 8-light testers, but will fail the Fluke. With old-school modems, the tones that they generated were it testing the quality of the signal and ramping speed up/down as appropriate. With ethernet, the devices use LNP pulses to agree on what speeds they both support, but it does not do signal quality testing to determine what speed to negotiate. As an example of the impact of this, back in the late 90s I was doing tech work for a public elementary school. When the iMacs came out, the school upgraded from Mac LC580s on 10baseT to iMacs that supported 100baseTX. The ATI switches in the data closets were already 100baseTX switches. Nearly all of the iMacs saw marked network improvement vs the LC580s, but there was one iMac in the computer lab that was absolutely crawling compared to even the LC580 that it replaced. The reason was that the ethernet cable was too "noisy" to reliably support the 100Mbps transmission rates, so there was a high error and retransmission rate. But the cable would negotiate "up" between the switch and the iMac. It would pass the tests from a switch, and from those 8-light testers. If you told both sides not to autonegotiate and locked them to 10baseT, then performance would improve rather than degrade.
@@leepicgaymer5464 The TL;DR is that plugging a network cable into a switch does not test the cable. His coworker spent half the video holding a $2k cable tester that takes under 30 seconds to perform a full-spectrum test of the cable. Linus declaring that he's going to just plug it in as his test does a disservice to his 14M subscribers by displaying piss poor practice, even if he planned to later do the proper testing.

heck i am 18 and think that the home improvement stuff is some of the best videos they make.
Also, could you give that dog a hug for me?
As a teenager, I think the same
Couldn't agree more!
In the next episode: Linus gets a visit from the local regulatory agencies investigating what is causing massive interference with every 2.4 and 5GHz network within a half km or more.
as someone who uses/installs Ruckus gear, I can tell you, their stuff has proper RF shielding and will automatically adjust broadcast power to best optimize range and its antenna arrays means that it only needs to beam signals towards the device as it needs to, so if anything a Ruckus setup will generate less interference than an equivalent say Ubiquiti access point, which basically has no shielding. Look at the inside of a Ruckus and look at the inside of a Ubiquiti and I think you'll understand a little better. You don't need masses of power if you're clever about how you use it.
@@richardyao9012 a) it's called a joke, and b) it was mainly referring to the ginormous transmit power of having eight long-range access points clustered together like that. I'm entirely aware that it'll most likely work out just fine.
@@chrisjc2k Hey, you're no fun. Also, regardless of shielding, beamforming, adjusting transmit strength to reach connected devices etc, that's still an insane amount of transmit power wihtin two relatively packed frequency bands in a very small area. As I said above, no doubt it'll be fine, but it's still pretty bonkers.

Also, I’m glad that there are more consumer friendly lower costs versions if the stuff Linus uses for his wifi.
We use eero mesh wifi devices, and they came with our wifi package, but they’re more in the small hundreds,band I think even come in bundles.
Tho you will have to buy a switch or something, cuz they don’t have more than 1 Ethernet port like most modems.

-The ladder in Linus' new house
Cut to every episode of Intel home upgrade where he asks "Is this from the office?"
Made my day ^^
The real question: Is that a carbon fiber ladder???
"We need to leave extra cable so water don't get in."
This is what we in the fishkeeping game call a drip loop.
That's a U dribbler
also on wifi installs... same name ;-)
So, everyone except linus calls it a drip loop.
I appreciate the secondary test at the end of the video where you show the performance of a single WAP. We install these all the time and would have done a project like this with 2-3 units depending on the client wanting outdoor coverage or not. While I love the "Tesla Model S Plat" approach, clients should also know they don't need to spend $10K to have great WIFI in their homes. Thanks for an awesome video. We will definitely share.
Thank you for this. At my work the WiFi that was installed before my time, the APs were actually installed too close together, causing issues with the service the users were getting. We just had a wireless survey done and the recommendation is to remove 8 out of 18 access points. 🤯
.. make your cable game weak, with this WAP

@@ssl3546 please point me to where he says he has had private investors? Last time I checked him and his wife own 100% of the company with no outside investment.
For anyone confused by the speed being better while standing still: the way the signal is decoded is by the AP treating the physical degradation/attenuation/reflection/etc. as a matrix solution to an equation (it's called the 'channel' factor, a literal physical description of what the signal's path is doing), it can then use that to properly read the incoming signal (basically clean signal * channel effects = received signal, received signal / channel effects = clean signal). So standing still means the channel effects don't change, so there's no need to recompute a solution due to signal loss.
Oh yea, matrices... I know those
@@Tosti_bakker Yeah, I considered giving the proper matrix explanation of the equation but I figured talking about inverse matrices and least square approximations might be a bit much
mmm this man is speaking some language i don?t understand
What you didn't talk about was beam forming and that the APs are either 4x4 or 8x8
Now I'm even more confused :D
Hi Linus, as you mention the issues with LG TV connectivity, some TVs just have bad network cards. Take this from former AT&T tech support, I dealt with this issue on daily basis.

I love how Linus gets bullied by his employees even in his own home
What’s the use of having a business if you can’t even banter?
@Rigidgamer56 It's his business, he's earned it. Not to mention, he treats his employees VERY well.
The main value add of good Wifi and networking is it makes a decent Internet package worthwhile. The converse is that crappy Wifi makes high speed Internet past 100 Mbps effectively valueless. It’s a necessity to have good Wifi coverage and to never settle for ISP-provided devices.
Also: Good network speed for using a NAS and/or a local media server, not just for internet access.
As riDDimann said most people for any serious reason even at the home level is going to rely on a hard wired connection. Why spend 600+ for a solid wifi router when depending on your location you may need additional access points anyways when for Likely less than 300 for a couple cheap switches and if you're willing to terminate your own wires you can do an entire house and get the maximum throughput of your connection.
Just hard wire your place with min. CAT6 if you got the walls open anyways, much more future proof. This 10k wifi setup will be outdated in 5 years and not everybody will have a sponsor ;)

As a technician in the technology field, you guys should know that when you're toning out shielded cat cable, it's very difficult to get an inductive tone with the wand on the sheathing of the cable. You would be better off testing the ends of the cable, or if you had a different toner, you could connect the positive to the cat cable, and the negative to earth ground. That makes them SCREAM😂. Super helpful
I use toners frequently, I've never heard of only connecting positive but it sounds like it makes sense.. I'll have to check it out next time!
Yes and no, the induction should be just fine if the source is powerful enough. Your standard toner is only 9V and doesn't give much amplification. Shielded cable can really complicate things, so the shield should be clipped in this case which would provide great sheath detection of tone. We do it all the time.

Uh...yeah. seems like the best time to do it, considering routing the ethernet cable through walls and ceilings is easier when the walls and ceilings aren't finished.
As someone who’s house recently finished being a construction zone, hell yeah that’s the best time to do it, when else are your ceilings, floorboards and even the inside of your walls accessible without making a huge mess? Especially as I’m in a plasterboard on mortar situation for the walls and can’t just fish a cable through the wall space. Now I’m going to need to find a weekend when the SO’s out to prep, install and clean up a roof AP, assuming I don’t need to fix any cockups in the process
That is literally the best time to do wiring when its already opened
What I dont get is why didnt he mount the access points in the ceiling? When the drywallers come in to finish off they can just put an access panel in. Everything would be hidden then. Unless it needs to be in the open for some reason but if its going through concrete it should be fine.

Linus will never install an "end game" wireless access point. There will always be newer, better overkill options. And it's Linus, so we would expect constant upgrades. Interesting stuff on this series. We are about to do a complete remodel on our home, and I'm going to smartify everything I can. No holding back. I plan to copy a lot of what Linus is doing.

LOL, but it has a cool screen. I thought the same thing. The only UBNT switch im using is the USW Flex Mini, because its outside with no power, and powers itself over POE from other switches.
Ruckus is the best Wifi on the planet - hands down. Been installing their hardware for over a decade in both USA and Norway - fantastic RF technology! Of course, I also rock the Ruckus at my house! 🎉😁 👍
My soul died a little when you said "Oh, we don't need the tester, we can just plug this right into the switch" at 6:50. A switch does not test/verify/certify cables, that is literally what the fluke exists for. Some switches can do little physical tests where they will tell you the rough length of each pair using TDR, and they will test pinout. Cisco switches only show the length of the pair, not of individual wires, I don't remember what Ubiquity switches do offhand. The fluke measures that on each wire, but also measures things like near/far/alien crosstalk, and tests the signals at every megahertz value up beyond the spec being tested. There are many cases where a cable will pass a switch's test or one of those 8-light testers, but will fail the Fluke. With old-school modems, the tones that they generated were it testing the quality of the signal and ramping speed up/down as appropriate. With ethernet, the devices use LNP pulses to agree on what speeds they both support, but it does not do signal quality testing to determine what speed to negotiate.
As an example of the impact of this, back in the late 90s I was doing tech work for a public elementary school. When the iMacs came out, the school upgraded from Mac LC580s on 10baseT to iMacs that supported 100baseTX. The ATI switches in the data closets were already 100baseTX switches. Nearly all of the iMacs saw marked network improvement vs the LC580s, but there was one iMac in the computer lab that was absolutely crawling compared to even the LC580 that it replaced. The reason was that the ethernet cable was too "noisy" to reliably support the 100Mbps transmission rates, so there was a high error and retransmission rate. But the cable would negotiate "up" between the switch and the iMac. It would pass the tests from a switch, and from those 8-light testers. If you told both sides not to autonegotiate and locked them to 10baseT, then performance would improve rather than degrade.
Nerd
Soooo much of this was unnecessary waffle. Stfu
Could you do a TL;DR
@@GauchoMwenyewe It's Linux Tech Tips, we're all nerds...
@@leepicgaymer5464 The TL;DR is that plugging a network cable into a switch does not test the cable. His coworker spent half the video holding a $2k cable tester that takes under 30 seconds to perform a full-spectrum test of the cable. Linus declaring that he's going to just plug it in as his test does a disservice to his 14M subscribers by displaying piss poor practice, even if he planned to later do the proper testing.
