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!

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 >__>

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 :)

That moment you realize Linus has s unibrow

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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?

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,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....

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

Nice! Always wanted to see this explained!

@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!

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

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

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

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?

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?

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

Bandwidth as Fast as Possible? Great video :)

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

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.

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

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

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

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 actually feel good about learning, Linus!

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.

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

Linus you have your analogies are on point

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.

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!

LOL @ those explosions at the start. great editing.

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

Your modem: LOL nope.

Hello Linus. You talked about 5GHz and 2.4GHz. My laptop uses 2.4GHz wifi connection but my router supports both 5GHz and 2.4GHz. Is it vise to change my laptop's wifi card to that supports a 5GHz wifi and will it benefit me anyway

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

Is this a good WiFi card? Here's the link: www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-WDN4800-Wireless-Express-Adapter/dp/B007GMPZ0A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1445189637&sr=8-1&keywords=wireless+card Which WiFi card is the best out of those options from TP Link?

Love that "Road-Lane" analogy.

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

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?

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

@techquickie hi, is band steering a good or bad thing?

Can you do a video on wireless ac,n, etc.?

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.

Is there a way to speed up a 2.4ghz speed based on the devices wifi e.g) I'm trying to use the new steam link app with my tablet my tablet only takes 2.4ghz and the dual band version is twice as pricey

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

I like the acting, transitions and animations

What program did you use to see the spectrum of the WiFi ?

Netflix and chill as fast as possible

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

What is the best choice for a gaming rigs wifi nic?

i have a Alcatel's Wi-Fi Hotspots provide a 4G LTE , will be riving soon , and need to get a WiFi Extender , put have on idea with one to get , 750 or the 1200 WiFi Extender , please help . do WiFi Extender help your hotspot work better in the first place ? again i am very confused .

Can you do an explanation of Intel Smart Response Technology? The HDD+SSD thing

Techquickie Pretty useful, thanks!

Great video, cleared a lot of things up for me

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

I have a N router and the box said 300mbps on dual band.. how do I configure so I can use dual band at once?

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?

My problem arise this morning, i bought a wireless mouse for my pc and already had a wireless mouse for my laptop but since i bought the mouse for pc the mouse of my laptop isn't working and now when i have switch off the pc, the new mouse is working with the old receiver and the old mouse is not working and the new receiver is not taking response from any mouse. What should I do?

Can you please suggest me some internet channel bounding WI-FI routers?

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

I like how you get to the point.

I have a WiFi router that supportsboth 5GHz and 2.4GHz. If I turn off 2.4GHz will it help to increase 5GHz speed?

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 explain chromecast? i never understood what's up with that and if it works in Romania

can u help me when I use my Internet it keeps stopping but it never used to do this I thinks it's because I moved my Internet up but u guys said to recommend moving it up so what should I do

Hey Linus! Why is it that when I do a speed test online I get a 7 Mbps speed. But when downloading, I only get about 1 Mbps?

So how is the market for these and is it likely colleges will switch to these?

what is the program wich shows the wireless spectrum please?

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.

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?

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.

Thanks for the video, understood everything! :)

So there will there be a decrease in power consumption if i disable either my 2.4ghz or 5ghz bandwidth?

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_

Antena booster would that work like it does with a radio or maybe gian bunny ears

I like the way linus presents his videos!!!

Excellent video. Many improvements

So which is better single, dual, or tri-band wifi?

hi there.. why some of my device cannot connect to wifi router even we entered the correct password.. is there any maximum device to conect on my router D-link DIR 803. please help

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

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

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

Does hardwiring my smart TV with an Ethernet cable boost its performance?

What phone do u use Linus

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

hold up ? what if you by an asus router and you have xfinity do you just unplug the xfinity one and plug in the asus one and the wifi just goes faster

Guys, that Lynda site is actually really awesome.

Linus can you do hyperthreading vs OS threads (kernel threads)

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...
