Good video but you missed an opportunity to inform people of good neighbour wifi practices when it comes to channel selection in 2.4GHz mode, in that you should try to only use the non-overlapping channels 1, 6, and 11. That way, even in more crowded environments, competition for bandwidth remains within individual channels and there is less likelihood of cross-channel interference.

@TT_LIFTS 3 місяці тому

What should I put my 2.4 and 5GHz channel width on ?

@eljay1899 Місяць тому

Informative video. But I thumbed it down because of this. Co-channel interference results in better performance than adjacent channel interference. Selecting channels eight or nine as suggested by this otherwise well done video results in adjacent channel interference and will perform worse. As the above comment suggests, stick to channels 1, 6, and 11 for the 2.4 gHz band. The same principle applies to other Wifi bands: select the correct non-overlapping channel that corresponds with your channel width (40, 80, 160 mHz, etc.).

Good stuff. I've been hearing about the channel examine... thank you

@martinma1980 11 місяців тому

Thanks Behfor! Great video as always. Most times your discussion seem to cover the context of wooden frame houses. While the info is extremely useful (I bought my router based on your review), can you also expand your discussion to cover apartments (where most walls are bricks/concrete and there are neighbors above, below, and next to me)?

@Behfor 11 місяців тому

Thanks for the suggestion, i'll keep that in mind

@garetha1981 11 місяців тому

Yes, what do you recommend as a wifi analyser on iOS. I know it’s limited compared to Android.

Thanks for this content, now I know why this annoying random disconnecting behaviour is happening. Reinstalled the Wi-fi drivers, did several fixes for my windows computer and nothing worked, so I assumed it must be the hardware of the Laptop due to it's from 2015. Doing the channel settings now and see if it changes anything 👍👍 (Living in a block of flats with a huge amount of other networks around)

Hi mate. The content on your videos are invaluable. We need you to review best Wi-Fi analyser apps in not only in Android but also IOS. We need you to also record step-by-step user guide for ASUs router settings.

Thanks so much for the suggestions, cheers!

I have a AX5400 tp-link, I have a livestream setup with both a iPhone Xs and 11 pro 33metres away, line of sight with the router. Should I use 2.4? Video recording is 30 frames at 1280x720

@redoscar540 11 місяців тому

My solution is to move to the middle of nowhere. But it does sound a bit like a cat and mouse problem, especially in crowded city scapes. I hope you get plenty of likes (your channel deserves them). I would love to see the follow-up topic covered.

Hi Behfor, Really like your videos mate👍🏻 Can you please make a video how to setup a site-to-site VPN (Wireguard and OpenVPN) with Asus Routers? I would like to make a Site-to-Site VPN connection between my place and my parents place, but don’t know where to start.

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion, I'll put that on the list. Cheers!

@arijitbanerjee6805 11 місяців тому

@Bhefor so in lab environment if multiple routers are broadcasting on same band and channel set on automatic selection there is a possibility of clients getting disconnected for brief periods of time ?

@Behfor 11 місяців тому

When the routers select the channels, they keep using them until you reboot the router or disable/enable the wifi, (unless it is a DFS channel which is a different story and I have video on that) so after the channels are selected I don't see any reason why the clients should get disconnected.

This is interesting! Also how does channel width affect things? 20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz and which is best to select?

@dvxAznxvb 9 місяців тому

chanel width affects a few things such as network speeds, network sub channels, and range if you use only 20mhz then you will hand the best compatibility with wi-fi devices without congestion and better range since you can fit more data in higher mhz but it can be affected by materials and range which can lead to packet loss 2.4ghz has lower mhz due to its only able to output increments of 20 or 40 and sometimes 80mhz 5ghz can output 120 and even 160mhz which is useful for higher bandwidth demanding applications such as 4k local streaming or video uncompressed streaming

@gamecubeplayer 9 місяців тому

@@dvxAznxvb2 things wrong with this: 1. 2.4ghz doesn't support 80mhz 2. 5ghz doesn't support 120mhz
