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 >__>

First impression- Why is his voice so high? Are those ear rings? Lasting impression- WOW what a great explanation and fantastic visuals! I like this channel and I like this guy!

Thank-you for making this. So few people realize the modularity that is prevalent in almost all consumer networking gear; routers have switches AND access points.

been following your videos on youtube for years, and you've always been very very good at explaining things. and this video ... you are excellent :)

Appreciate you breaking down Tri-band for us in a detailed and good example way!

I love ur channel man. U've helped me understand my rigs so much during the years.

I always enjoy your information, fast, to the point, and you don't beat around the bush :).

hey linus,I watch your videos all the time,your the guy i turn to for tech help videos that explain what is what soo big thanks....

I'm starting a Network Systems Management course in a couple weeks, these short videos are great for brushing up on computer knowledge :)

That moment you realize Linus has s unibrow

I cant believe how lius has ALL my questions answered. I can look up almost anything question about my computer and bam, linus has an easy and understandable video already out there! Thanks!

I fucking love you man. You make this stuff so easy to understand with awesome animations and quirky humour. Have you ever thought about becoming an IT professor?

Thanks for this information. It certainly is interesting to see just how much marketing hype hits you when shopping for a replacement router and I certainly appreciate the education here!

Nice! Always wanted to see this explained!

Hey Linus, you should make a wifi buying guide =)

Linus you have your analogies are on point

Bandwidth as Fast as Possible? Great video :)

@Techquickie, I think it would be worthwhile to do a Techquickie on "high gain" in the context of wireless adapters. Thank you for your content!

Hahaha I died when he said: "With all the slow clients on one radio being scrubland by themselves"

hi linus and techquickie. when you use mega bit you use a little b for example:10 megabit= 10Mb and byte is big B: 10 megabyte= 10MB so please don't use it like that so we wont be confused thx

"How can we ever replace our wires?" I don't want to replace my wires.

i actually feel good about learning, Linus!

3:37 -> I DEMAND THE NAME OF THAT PROGRAM NOW, sprectum analyzers give me hard ons D:

My Heart beat a little faster when the Fire Came out!! Was not expecting that

3:18 explained in one picture. i love you linus

LOL @ those explosions at the start. great editing.

Correct discussion. You should have continued using the highway analogy with band steering putting the slower devives on a road with a lower speed limit. Some explanations are also only useful to some who alreasdy understands the technology.

I like the acting, transitions and animations

hey linus, can you explain the process of reading and writing to a hard drive vs a solid state drive?

Guys, that Lynda site is actually really awesome.

Do a video of different operating systems? And what versions (oem or retail) to use for custom built PC's! :-)

Hey Linus! Great video, Real quick though, is port forwarding a good idea?

Great video, cleared a lot of things up for me

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.

Love that "Road-Lane" analogy.

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.

I like the way linus presents his videos!!!

I paused this video in the middle of it to switch my phone to my 5GHz access point, thanks!

Great information. I was wondering what router to buy since I just got the Netgear X6S Mesh extender Currently I have the ATT router with Fiber speeds over 300 Mbs. Still have very slow spots in my house of the levels. Thank you very much for your suggestions

Hey Linus, just like you did several videos on multiple ethernet cables between two network devices, maybe you should do a video on a triple-band WiFi device connected to a PC with 3 separate WiFi PCI/PCIe cards all shared through the OS. That would be very interesting to see.

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?

Techquickie Pretty useful, thanks!

Here's the thing Linus. When you add explosions while making arguments it makes all arguments after that obsolete. I'm omw right now to buy everything you just told me not to. Cheers

can you do a episode on the deference between a modem and a router?

I have a suggestion for a video too. -wifi cards - and also how to use your 5GHZ channel on phones and pcs Thanks

Excellent video. Many improvements

Thanks for the video, understood everything! :)

who else leaves the video when he says "speaking of" ?...':D:D

LOL FINALLY a video where someone actually knows what a separate switch is. Nobody understands why I have one...

I like how you get to the point.

Netflix and chill as fast as possible

I feel so much smarter after watching your videos

Wow, you're psychic! I just had this question just the other day when I got a new router xD

I’m having trouble streaming my live gaming on UKposts does dual band router fix the issue with buffering and leg?

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 known as a _backhaul_

Your modem: LOL nope.

i will never use Tri Band WiFi :3 i give all the other ppl 2.4 then just for me 5ghz :3

I'd like to see a video on: *-Chokes, diodes, capacitors, mosfets, alloys & more* AND ANOTHER ON: *-VRM, Digi VRM & Digi+ VRM (with the addition of power phases)*

thanks for ur informative videos..... waiting for more

Finally understood!... BTW Do u guys have a podcast?

Hiya, Linus! Any chance we could get a video on bus width? Or just buses in general? They throw me for a loop. Lol

Thanks! Very informative.

You have Moto Droid Turbo!!! BRAVO!!!

You should a AFAP on PCBs and another on microcontrollers.

Most useful episode! Thx m8

Hey Linus, could you do a video comparing Haswell, Haswell-E, and Broadwell? I was a little confused when I saw i7-5820k specing a Haswell-E (and not Broadwell), I always thought that the generation number (3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx...) applied to that gen architecture.

Very good video.See you again. Thank you. Cheers.

Very good explanation !

I don't think I've ever seen a router with antennas before irl. I've always just been give a box that does stuff by my ISP.

can you tell me the uses for the 5.0 mhz signal?? is it to power up bigger devices> or can I use more devices at one time with 5mhz? does it reach farther then 2.4mhz? thanks

Can I use both at the same time instead of splitting between the 2? as I have that option to use both at the same time. Whats the better option? I split both and will try each manually. I live in a small apt so yeah ill see what fits me best. thx I use my laptop, iPhone and iPad mini. mostly one at a time.

I like the explosions :)

I am new to this stuff, if you got multiple frequencies and had 1 Ethernet connection and a few wireless connections would the Ethernet connection be stronger vs 1 frequency having a few wireless connections and 1 Ethernet connection?

Pro tip. If your wireless router allows you to enter a country code use 081 (Japan) as nearly all of the wireless bands are available (yes almost all of them)

So some automatically split the devices based on what they are capable of. I'm looking to change out a router in my network cause it intermittenly drops the WiFi and I have to unplug and plug it back in to restart it. If the router automatically sorts the devices based on what they are capable of handling, would a computer that's put on the 5 GHz band (like a laptop) be able to communicate and transfer files with something like a WiFi desktop that's only capable of 2.4 GHz? In other words, would I be able to connect to a computer that's on the 2.4 GHz band and retrieve/transfer a file to another computer that's connected on the 5 GHz band, or would I need to have both connected to the 2.4 GHz band?

Hey Linus, what's the deal with 160mhz channel widths on wireless ac but all the routers only support 80 mhz channels and when does everything down sample to 40 and 20mhz channels?

Ok so like in an apartment when you have so much wifi traffic so close together. If Apt 1 has a Roku streaming & Apt 2 has a iPhone doing whatever. Does the router in Apt1 have to wait until the channel is clear in order for it to talk to the Roku is Apt 2 routers is talking? Hope that makes sense.

Linus why did you use capital B at the end of the abbreviation of megabit in your on screen prompts shouldn't it be M then lower case b to denote megabit and not megabytes

Quick question , what would it sound like if you had a radio and tuned into the 2.4ghz range

So I have an AC wireless adapter for my gaming desktop. (The D-Link 171 model to be exact.) My ISP provided their router, that I can't change mind you. The router supports AC and G(?) or N(?), whatever the one before AC is. Long story short, that adapter is the only one that supports AC. The router my ISP gave me gives up two frequencies. The 2.4GHz and the 5GHz. My question is, it worth having only 1 device connected to the 5GHz SSID? I hope this makes sense to someone.

On 5ghz I'm getting full range, speed test shows full 200mbps up and down with 25ms latency. But apps like Facebook, whatsapp, other 3rd party apps are running very slow. Although youtube is running good. But on 2.4ghz every app is running fine even tho on 2.4ghz speed is limited to 40mbps. What can be the reason for this?

Awesome video thanks! +Techquickie

I haven the nighthawk something and the 5hrz doesn’t come up on my pic when I want to connect to it only the 2.4 u for any tips or something

Thanks, great video!

1 SERVER & 6 CLINET ALL PC 11AC SUPPORTED CREATE WIFI NETWORK , WHICH ROUTER BEST

I love you Linus.

Yeah, residential ADSL2+ speeds in Australia can barely break 10Mbps. I don't think we even have to worry about Wireless N or AC, unless it's a university or business fibre connection. (Despite I still run Wireless N)

Is it necessary to upgrade the WiFi card in your laptop? And what happens if we do upgrade it?

The thumbnail image of this video is hilarious. Linus has the longest neck I have ever seen.

The question I asked my CCNA tutor was: isn't a router in the home technically a switch as it connects to your ISPs relay center before going into the WAN? I believe this is still the same for USA and Canada as I'm in England, but my tutor froze still and tried to explain it and if you think about it. It is just a switch in your home. How else would your ISP monitor you and your usage and how would your ISP ban sites...

Make an episode about baking graphics card in the oven. Should we even try that or not, when and why to do it, and what are we exactly "fixing" by doing so.

What about GHz and timing for the next video? Is a pretty common not to know about this things between enthusiasts, what are cycles in a CPU and so on... You could make a series of videos explaining all about CPUs too, a pretty interesting topic

thanks, so helpful!

So should my MBP automatically use the 5GHz? Or do I need to enable it?

ohms and impedance explained would be nice. And ehy they're important when buying audio gear.

Hey Linus maybe you would try explaining the difference between OLED and LCD technology. Cheers

Great explanation! thanks :)

can you make a fast as possible on memory timings and those numbers like C9,C10 or C11 that you sometimes see advertised for a certain ram stick?

ive literally watched what I think is 20% of your videos, and now im venturing into the ones where i literally have no idea what youre even talking about xD

2:30 The graphic displayed here made more sense to me than what Linus was actually saying.
