    We'll also walk you through the basics of Mesh WiFi networks from companies like NETGEAR, Google, Eero, TP-Link & others, why you'd go Mesh vs. with a WiFi Extender, and why Mesh routers can have a huge impact on performance & WiF speed, why WiFi 6 is a good choice for smart home devices, best practices on WiFi router placement, where ideally you should place them in your home, and some things to be aware if you're using a router/modem from your Internet Service Provide (ISP).

    Superb video, Josh. Thank you. I would love to use this system, but frankly, it’s just too tall for the only place I can connect it. I need to use a system that has a height similar to the original Google wifi, the Google Nest or the TP link x60. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the video. Some great information covered!! Well done!

    I have the 2 year old version of their Mesh system and although it works well, the Orbi app is rubbish, constantly can’t see I’m connected to the network to manage it and I find the units really struggle going through brick walls- really drops its range.
    Major problem is they don’t support vlans.

    We currently have our Apple TV connected via Ethernet bc the wifi router was too far away. This also meant we had to get a long enough cable to reach the Apple TV.
    Would using this Orbi system allow our streaming device to work as quickly as it does with Ethernet?

    • @6MonthsLater
      @6MonthsLater  Рік тому

      Depending on what router you have it certainly could. But it also depends on what internet speeds you’re getting as well over wired. If you already get pretty slow speeds, going over Ethernet will probably still be the best experience.

    I am using netgear orbi mesh wifi RBR752. Most of the time i use my macbook in my room which is closer to the satellite. However, sometimes the macbook would connect to the main router despite there is a closer sallellite and the network become unstable as it is out of range from the main router. i dont see any solution online. Is there any suggestion?

    Hi we are planning to get a 5G Home Broadband which will come with a 5G SIM Router in one of the below models:
    HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2
    ZTE MC8020 5G INDOOR CPE
    ZTE MC801A 5G INDOOR CPE
    OPPO 5G CPE T1a
    Linksys FGW3000
    ZTE MC888
    OPPO T2
    TP-Link Deco X80-5G CPE.
    My question is if I can connect a Wifi Mesh system like Asus XT8 or Orbi RBKE963 to this 5G Router inorder to expand my coverage. Also whether connecting the Mesh Router to the 5G Sim Router using an Ethernet cable would be enough or whether we need to alter some settings in the either system.

    • @6MonthsLater

      They should, my modem is also made by NETGEAR though can only handle about .5 GB so once I get gigabit speeds I’ll likely upgrade. - Josh

    When you use the mesh system as a router, do you setup your modem as a bridge?

    • @6MonthsLater

      I don’t have it configured that way currently. Haven’t had any issues with my routers & modem where I’ve found I’d need to put the modem in bridge mode.

    • @amirhadis1698
      @amirhadis1698 Рік тому

      Contact your ISP,
      Just remember only one of the mesh systems OR ISP modem should do the routing,
      Either put the ISP modem in bridge/passthrough mode and set the mesh system as "router", Or disabled the radio of the modem and set the mesh as "Access point"

    I get you're videos are based on Wifi Mesh routers but you keep talking about routers vs wifi mesh routers and yet never compare the difference nor have you included discussion about them I've watched two videos from you that claimed to be about routers but it was mesh systems. Your confusing the two systems. They are not the same and there are differences. I spent time watching these videos only to get talks about Orbi...when I was directed to here under the direction it was about the difference between the mesh and traditional routers.
