Minion Routers. Need I say more? Oh, I do? Well, Linus is here to find out if these reasonably priced and unreasonably cute WiFi routers shaped like your favourite yellow evil-doers are worth gifting to your mom, or if it's actually more trouble than it's worth. Banana!

For any kid who loves the Minions, these would be a workable router hidden in plain sight within their room, assuming they have a dedicated Ethernet port to jack them into.

Most new homes are wired for Ethernet in some way. Basically where they used to wire phones, they wire RJ45 jacks anyway, since they are compatible with RJ11.

@agarceran
@agarceran 28 днів тому
It is precisely worse with an appartment building, because you are bothering more people in a vertical setting and more so if you consider the total number of potential walls vs floors. An appartment can have more than one wall from the center to the neightbours but will only ever be one floor away from the appartment on top or bottom. Granted, corean appartments might be an only room (japanese type?) of appartment but for example, my flat is only one wall on one side from the center of the appartment but 3 walls from the one on the other side! In fact I have more wifi strenght from the neightbours below and upwards than from the ones in the same floor in my case.

Don't test a wireless access point over the internet. Just run iperf3 or similar on one of your local servers and don't have the potential bottleneck. It'd take someone like Jake 15 minutes to set up, tops. After being instructed once, anyone can use it. There's probably some GUI client available if someone genuinely struggles remembering the three word command to launch it from a shell.
@RaxXxvell
@RaxXxvell 28 днів тому
To be fair. Not many routers manage bands well at all. Had to deactivate 2.4 on many already. Heck i even had to manually adjust channels because all routers would flock on one channel with 160 to get the max theoretical bandwith just to be ridiculously unstable. Had to manually sit at the left end of the spectrum with 20 mhz width . Lower theoretical limit, but very stable and i actually reached the limit. Algorithms there seem to be really dumb.
@True-VFX

I don't think it's an issue with pickup pattern. You've built a freaking Faraday cage around the router with all that metal, electrical gear and wiring and there's much less interference above.

@bluegizmo1983
@bluegizmo1983 27 днів тому
7:54 THAT!! That right there is exactly why I NEVER allow my routers and access points to use the same SSID for all wifi bands! I always set separate SSID's for 2.4ghz, 5ghz and 6ghz. It's EXTREMELY common for devices to get stuck on 2.4ghz when all bands are on the same SSID, no matter what devices you're using.
@Pyroteq
@Pyroteq 25 днів тому
The SSID really doesn't make a difference though... Unless you are constantly picking and choosing between different networks manually every time you walk into a different room your device will hold onto a shitty signal regardless - in which case usually just disconnecting then reconnecting will connect at a better speed or to a different AP that has the best signal. I also wouldn't expect a device to switch networks in the middle of a speed test either. I have 5 different APs from different manufacturers all running the same SSID and my phone handles roaming around the house just fine.

Q: What are the materials of that office you went into? Is it UV protected paned glass? Was there foil-lining or anything with the insulation in the wall?

Please do a test with that for quest 3 wireless pc vr!! I’ve been debating getting a 6E router, but nothing else that’s relevant takes advantage of that… and these seem quite cheap, and from what the review sounds like, that might be kinda viable. Prob not a full vid, but maybe wireless pc vr is interesting as well, though idk if pico etc are easily capable of it. (The question if now cheap inside out tracked standalone vr headsets are worth it for pc vr (with wireless streaming )

Odds are likely that they use a few poorly tuned PIFA antenna inside of the WiFi router, and also a low transmit power. One thing the higher end WiFi routers have in common is how they go about improving throughput across a larger coverage ratio, is to focus on a more sensitive RF front end, and a higher transmit power. This because most client devices (many laptops and smartphones that focus on form over function, tend to end up with negative gain antennas, and since power consumption is a huge issue with mobile devices, they often also use a lower transmit power to extend battery life. This is why you will see many quality APs using a full watt transmit power where allowed, and decent antenna gain (often in the 3-5 dBi range), and rely on a good receiver sensitivity and a quality LNA to extend the overall effective range.

If I wasn't a tech geek who has his own custom router setup, I'd totally love to have one of these. This is a modern version of the novelty telephones of the 1980s/1990s (IE: Garfield, burgers, etc).

Please get LLT Labs to create an Open Source speedtest software, that we host on our own networks, so we can test internetwork speeds without needing to rely on servers that don't give accurate results over 1gig

7:42 ok serious question, is the low light performance of your cameras bad or something? I would assume you guys are using some pretty good full frame or medium format cameras which SHOULD be able to capture a normally lit area pretty well. Now I'm kinda curious how well your cameras would work for astrophotography.

This would be cool for your kids bedroom. If they have poor wifi signal from the main AP, you just put this in their room, it blends in and they get sufficient connectivity for all their needs

I noticed that the speed tests were using a different server each time… need a more consistent speed test such as from a local server or atleast use the same server each time.
