Initially I thought this wouldn't matter, but it looks like the OnePlus 11 is listed as having 2x2 MIMO which should mean it can only do 2 spatial streams. Unless I made a mistake, I think 2 streams @ 320Mhz width = 5.8Gbps max, but @ 160Mhz it'd be half that or around 2.4Gbps. I had assumed (incorrectly lol) that WiFi 7 clients would bump up the number of streams used since technically it can go up to 16.

*it's (contraction of "it is" or "it has") its = possessive All contractions have apostrophes. Possessive pronouns never do. Another option is MoCA, which gives you an Ethernet like experience using the coax wiring you may already have in your home. The current version, MoCA 2.5, can do up to 1 Gbps in full duplex or 2.5 Gbps in half duplex, with ~3ms of latency. Snazzy did a video about this. The next version, MoCA 3.0, is supposed to be capable of up to 5 Gbps in full duplex or 10 Gbps in half duplex, but only if you give it the full RF spectrum of the coax cable (no DOCSIS Internet or cable TV). My hope (and I could be wrong) is that it will be able to work at 2.5 Gbps full duplex when used alongside DOCSIS. To my knowledge, MoCA 3.0 currently only "exists" as a finalized specification from 2018; there's no silicon available for OEMs to build products with.

6:22 Wi-Fi > Three dots on the top right > More settings > Wi-Fi Status display > Wi-Fi version label. Good video though, Quinn!

Just a quick comment : Wi-Fi 7 provides better bandwidth, thanks to MLO (Multi Link Operation) i.e. aggregation of the 2.4+5+6GHz band. Unfortunately current phones can only support MLO on 2 bands (2.4+5 or 5+6). Secondly, the number of stream matters: eero got 2x2@2.4GHz + 4x4@5GHz + 4x4@6GHz. Your phone is probably 2x2 on each stream. So the best Wi-Fi speed will be between 2 eero at this stage, until 4x4x4 PC cards come into the market. Regarding the standard, major features are standard and "reliable " : MLO, 320MHz bandwidth, 1024 QAM and MRU.

Talking about nominal vs effective wifi speed, Eero Max 7 features a 4x4 antenna setup and the speed refers to this configuration. On the other hand, smartphones have a 2x2 antenna configuration. To properly test the wifi speed you should setup another device (maybe a router in bridge mode) with the same antenna configuration.

Awesome review and it’s insane that thing cost 1700. Then they have the audacity to charge a subscription. That’s one of the reason i went over to ubiquiti.

I upgraded to WiFi 7 last year when my old router decided that it needed rebooting daily. I went with TP-Link's "Deco" series.

My house has Ethernet to the two places I wanted to put the boosters, so I have those on the 10Gbit ports, with one 2.5Gbit port running to my cable modem, and the last 2.5Gbit port running to a 2.5 Gigabit switch that runs all my "home theater area devices" plus one more in-house Ethernet port in another room that doesn't need full 10Gbit (since that's where all the Ethernet ports congregate, and where the cable outlet is.)

I was lucky enough to test the TPLink Deco 6E last week. While I did not hold on to it, because my defect router was RMA'd, I did see awesome speeds in my internal network.

What I'd like to know is the difference in wireless backhaul connection speeds between 6E and 7 nodes. I live in a large house where wired backhaul is not possible. Therefore, I'm always trying to find out what performance to expect from wireless backhaul connections in speed AND in distance apart. Is 7 better than 6E in this regard or are they the same?

I’m still considering adding a WiFi 7 AP into my Ubiquiti setup. Fairly cheap if (like me) you’re already in that ecosystem.

You should try a Firewalla out. I think you would like it.

Long -> Short; a well setup 200MBps connection is more than enough for everyone, only drawback is large download speeds There where a few flaws in testing, like setting 320MHz channel width and when they "add up" it's adding up 2.4+5GHz+6GHz. Like the TP-Link AX3000 i have, 2400 on 5GHz and 570 on 2.4GHz. Then also WiFi 7 introduces Multi-link Operation, lets you aggregate two radios simultaneously for both faster speeds and more stable connection. With that said, it's not all finalized and i could have well been that the 320MHz channel width option wasn't there and MLO isn't working and not supported on smaller devices like phones, which prioritize efficiency

I recently purchased TP links WiFi 7 router just because for the price, it actually had 2.5gbe WAN port and 2.5gbe LAN ports when compared to other 6E routers I’ve been looking to buy. I replaced my crappy Qnap 6E router that had 10gbe wan and lan ports just to get better parental controls. It also had very terrible reception so I turned off its radios and used my old ASUS WiFi 6 router for WiFi. Wish we had google fiber, Xfinitys asymmetrical broadband is getting old with 40mbps upload.

I live in Australia and am absolutely thrilled I can get 100Mbps down. The thing I’m hoping for one day in the future would be an equal amount of upload capacity, as I have a plex server and 15Mbps up doesn’t cover the bitrate of any of my ripped Blu-Rays

With the new WiFi 7 devices I’m more excited about the prevalence of multi-gig or 10gb Ethernet. I will be upgrading once the prices come down a bit and more options are available. Currently I’m fine with WiFi 6 and half my network being 10gbe. Especially given I only have a 1gb internet connection and likely won’t be able to get any faster than that for many years.

I bought a new Wi-Fi access point last year because my old 802.11N router finally died. I bought a Wi-Fi 5 one because it was less than half the price of the Wi-Fi 6 one. I figured if N was good enough, would I notice? The answer is, I noticed better latency but that's about it. I'll buy a new access point when this one dies, and I'll probably buy whatever is on the clearance shelf when that happens.

Wait didn't wifi 7 finalized and come out around CES? The routers did come out before it was finalized. Unless I misunderstood what you said

The only reason I got the TP-LINK BE9300 (WiFi 7 router) about a month ago is that it was just about the only router with a 2.5gb input and output. I have 1.2gb download speeds, which with Xfinity, their rental modem/router supports, or I had a standalone modem that could handle that speed, but it only had a 1 gig output. Meaning I had a modem that couldn't even output the max speed it could input, which seems bizarre. I now use the Xfinity modem in bridge mode and the BE9300 as my router so that I can get my full download speed (and strangely, like in this video I also get more than I pay more, maxing out around 1450 mb/s down).

So I have a 10Gbps internet connection here in Singapore. I use Ubiquity’s WiFi 7Pro APs now I know I can’t get over 2.5GbE speeds on it but I’ve never once had any issue with speeds even if my iPhone 15 Pro Max can only reach slightly over gigabit speeds that’s more than enough for anything I do on my phone, for any serious work I have my workstation connected to the aggregate switch with multi mode fiber.

I believe Wi-Fi 7 is certified at the time you published this video(although most likely not certified during the make of this video). But the single most important feature of Wi-Fi 7 I'm looking forward to if you can connet to 2.4/5/6 bands simountinously, it will provides much better reliable connection when I'm roaming in my house.

what's your wrist rest? does it get hand oil marks?

If I could have an Eero router sans Amazon, that'd be great. Built in matter support is the one thing I wish my Linksys router had. Also wasn't WiFi 7 finalized as of like...yesterday? Thought I heard something about that just a little while ago.

Mixing "slower" (older tech) device with fast Wifi-7 will drag down the speed. Because the WiFi is based on time slice (not on speed), which mean each device got the same time to access the router. The same is also true when mixing WiFi 5 to WiFi 6 router and mixing WiFi 4 to WiFi 5 router.

For OnePlus you can view your Wi-Fi version by going under the Wi-Fi status display and turning on the Wi-Fi version number.

Solving a non-problem. 👍

Wifi 7 is exciting for VR tech. A fast inter-home connection will do leaps and bounds for connections between headsets and computers so that we can eventually have lossless data streaming for apps like Airlink and Virtual desktop. No wonder most companies are taking the standalone route.

I heard that Wifi 7 is going to give a better experience for wireless VR streaming, that's what I'm really excited about.

Your VR headset must support Wi-Fi 7 in order to get the benefits. Either that or maybe you'll have to connect a Wi-Fi 7 dongle into the USB port on your headset assuming your headset allows that.

This gives me all the more reason to finally ditch my ISP provided all in one Wifi 5 for a Wifi 6 like the Archer AX21. It just doesn't handle multiple connections well and moving files wirelessly from my devices is not as fast as I want them.

Dude, whats that wifi monitor app? Superb something? I cant find it on the play store. Looks like something useful when im checking wifi congestion around this area. But i cant find the exact thing on the playstore. Whats the name again? Thanks 😉

What about connecting a nas to one of these, and accessing it wireless, AND accessing it by hard lining into the satellite

I like low ping and not consuming all the bandwidth for my home. I have fiber and wifi7 will insure I can do what I want. I have the Eero Max7 and love it.

Is it even worth it? I mean does have to do something with the servers you are connecting to?

what model is that juniper router that can give you such a speed? please type the model.

Just bought this unifi wifi 7 ap for under 200 bucks, good enough for me

Ah, we're back to the Draft AC days. I'll check back in 5 years.

Hey Quinn - Just curious at 5:39, whats running on that Pi 5?

It’s a Pi 4! But I’m running Scrypted on it.

in my country we dont have lan passthrough in our walls (maybe because our house is made from bricks), but im jealous how people can use LAN directly from their router, we have to move pull a long cable of ethernet to our pc or just use wifi extender

I would rather stronger more stable bandwith and connection with better range over faster speeds thats hit or miss in terms of connection and reliability.

I would love to try the Wi-Fi seven and Wi-Fi eight. Problem is I don't know if my router supports it because my router is one of those routers that was built into the wall when I moved into my apartment. It's a modem and router all built-in one and it's actually built into the wall and wired into the wall When they constructed these apartments. The building is two years old if anybody is wondering about specifics.

Hi Snazzy, I know you'll read this, you always read my comments. What LUTs (if any) do you use on your videos? I like look.

Benjamin makes his own.

As an editor, I use my 1Gb fiber all day. I can download and upload hours of video (compressed) as if they're already on my PC. Funny thing is, my ISP offers 10 Gb. Well, it's obvious to me that some day I'll want it, but right now it's useless. Although, I legit could do 3x the work of my colleagues, because I'm never waiting for file management. Totally agree it's not worth the rush to get into new wifi. Wifi 6/e will be great for streaking games and tv to devices in 4k, but now the bottleneck has been made very abstract indeed.

It's a little cold for streaking games, I'd say.

4k streaming requires 30mbps speed max.

6:20 this is a mystery for me, the WiFi details tab shows a connection speed of 5764mbps, however, within the wifiman app it shows that you're connected through the 160mhz channel width (6:34) at 6ghz in wifi 7. What's strange is that the theoretical maximum speed for that configuration is somewhere around 4.9gbps and not 5.7gbps, why is the physical layer limit exceeding the theoretical limit of the configuration? Is the physical layer limit supposed to be higher than the theoretical limit? I'm certainly overlooking something, clarifications from anyone would be appreciated.

3:21 Looks like you've got Tree of Heaven on your property. I would recommend getting rid of that as it's a terrible invasive species. Look into how it needs to be removed as you can't just cut it or you'll get a bunch of sprouts from the roots.

@@snazzy Dang! We'll, I'm glad you're aware of them. Hopefully you will eventually be able to destroy them. 😈

I loved this video, I will wait for WiFi 7 and stick to my 6, not even 6E version, and I love your hairy chest too.
