So something to consider That router I don’t believe has acceleration for PPPoE- so you may barely even hit gigabit speeds with a wired client. The Homehub 4000 is a decent router, I think the gigahub is good too but I’ve heard issues with it. Going beyond wifi 5, you’ll see an improvement. But experiment. If you find you’re having issues with the ASUS, maybe remove it from the equation entirely. Also, if you’re going to use the ASUS, if you notice the speeds are really bad, you can do advanced DMZ- which can be problematic to get going the first time but you’ll get your speeds back. Unfortunately- it’s like a weird double NAT’d wannabe bridge mode. Just my 2 cents. Hope it works though!

Amen. I’m bundled with 2 phones and the reception is AWFUL. Like I actually miss Fido. I will say having 155 gigs per line shared is nice and data speeds are faster than Fido ever was ……. But it loses connectivity a lot and the call quality is AWFUL. I even have wifi calling issues on both phones in 2 separate households and based on my network, it’s definitely not my wifi. Bell needs to do better in a LOT of ways.

@@TechMixr The reception is always awful with bell, they should’ve participated in the 700 mhz auction for “rural coverage” but they decided to pass on that. Coverage is spotty whenever you walk into any building with Bell and nothing loads while it does with Fido.

It’s all fun and games until it goes insane Me: “Siri, what day is the next Apple event?” Siri: “I’m a computer - and also I’m your father and also - I searched the web for…..”

“I’m out of tune ….” 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

Appreciate the compliment! ❤️🙏🏾

😂 pretty much

Considering it’s getting by super low views at the moment - it’s doubtful that I’ll do it again - but who knows how it will perform long term. Thanks for the compliment though. ❤️🙏🏾 In terms of iOS betas, I usually wait about 3-4 betas in before trying, if I try it at all that year. New betas are expected to be filled with bugs, but with all of this open for AI, I wonder how much of a disaster it is at the moment 😂

@@TechMixr I'm gonna be honest, I have sworn away from using Betas. After all, they're betas for a reason. I need my phone to function properly, and I can't guaruntee that on a beta. Especially the earlier ones, like you said.

@@joshdubrow6494 if I had a spare iPhone (Tim yelling shares behind me) - I’d probably try the early betas. Just not on my daily as I need it to get stuff done all the time

@@TechMixr The shares 😂. But yes, I completely agree. But unbeknown to Apple, not all of us are made of Money, so when you program your frickin devices to kill themselves, and then DON’T LET US TRADE IT IN BECAUSE IT’S “BROKEN”…..

😂❤️🙏🏾 - hope the algorithm agrees with your assessment

'Big Booty Judy' 😂

@@TechMixr she got that phat 😂😂😂

😂 'Noooooooooooooo'

“I only have 2 costumes” 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

They do where they offer fibre to the home.

@@TechMixr They offer FTTH in Scarborough yet they only go up to 50mbps. Residential ISPs other than Bell only advertise download speeds at gigabit+ and put the upload speed in the fine print. Usually capped at 50-100mbps.

In Ottawa they offer symmetrical gigabit and 8 gig for $400/ month to residential for some odd reason

@@TechMixr Other providers need to bring symmetric lines to Scarborough. There is no competition.

ASUS AX89X Thanks for the compliment! ❤️🙏🏾

😂😂😂😂😂😂 what about awkward pictures of the Weeknd? 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

Yeah they’re super aggressive in the pricing which is awesome. Hopefully you don’t get hit with fees down the road. But with the CRTC forcing them to share their networks, they have to remain competitive. Great deal you got!

It really is the Wild West here on CZcams differentiating between TRUE VALUE and people who just want to win the click / appease a sponsor. I’m with you entirely. Subbed back 💪🏾🙏🏾

Appreciate this a lot, thank you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

homerwear.com/products/jacket?variant=48521164456246 …… it’s not the best quality I’ve purchased - but it gets a laugh or 5 😂

I appreciate this sentiment a lot. Thank you so much 🙏🏾

Appreciate this a lot. Maybe I’ll earn more subs based on total honesty. I will take sponsorships, but sponsors I actually believe in. Want to keep it super transparent here 👌🏾💪🏾🙏🏾

This is THE REASON I made this video. I want my audience to trust me. Just because a brand throws money / products / opportunities at me, shouldn't mean that I compromise the value. Which is the viewer watching. (You know I agree with you given the first 6 seconds of this video 😂) My thought is that, the MOMENT I take sponsorships, I'm going to get lumped in with creators who aren't the most forthcoming about their actual experience- or even worse, the ones who don't disclose correctly their relationship with the brand. So I made this video hoping to make it abundantly clear that I'm going to do my absolute best to keep it 100% in my content. Appreciate your honesty.

AGREED!

So kind, appreciate that a lot ❤️🙏🏾

So fun fact ….. I don’t expect this video to do well in terms of metrics. But I said to myself: “If even one person can understand and empathize with this video, goal achieved” The fact that you don’t comment on videos typically made this comment extra special. I appreciate you and the sentiment. Thank you so much ❤️🙏🏾

Appreciate this a LOT! ❤️🙏🏾

Thanks bro! This video hopefully spells it out to everyone

Appreciate this a lot ❤️🙏🏾

💪🏾🙏🏾❤️

I would agree,.... except I can sustain 2.5 gigabit within the local network at home and there's no throttling whatsoever. I was able to send 300 gigs of data within my network from one computer to another at 285 megabytes a second (sustained) which is around 2280 without issue. The hub didn't get hot at all. And the fact that even after stressing the hub on the 2012 Macbook Pro, the Ookla Speedtest could still achieve 2300 on the upload side invalidates this as a hub issue. It's most likely some weird Apple driver issue with newer MacOS versions. Also, I tried this on my 2020 Macbook Pro (the DJ computer with the Intel i9 running MacOS Ventura) with the same results, so that rules out Apple Silicon being an issue.

Unfortunately I wish this was the case. I have a 2020 i9 MacBook Pro. (The DJ computer). The hub behaves exactly the same on that machine as well. (It’s running Ventura where the M3 Max is obviously on Sonoma as it shipped with it)- it’s the one thing I forgot to mention in the video. You are right that it’s probably driver related, but it’s the same story on both Intel and Apple silicon in my experience. I find it hilarious that the 2012 beats both of them 🤦🏾‍♂️ Thank you so much for the compliment.

I’m going to respectfully disagree 😂 There is a LOT it does well- not to say your preference is wrong, but different things for different people. I spend a lot of time in terminal and I find a lot of things work for my workflow better with it- even without using terminal. Some can say the same about any OS, it’s really personal preference. Not an Apple apologist by any means because they do things that annoy me, but the things they get right are outstanding. Going from something like Windows has a huge amount of friction to overcome, so I get the opinion.

Tons of CZcamsrs do unbiased reviews and keep a sample. Doesn’t count as a sponsorship- I’ve looked into this heavily. Plus it was disclosed very early on. Thanks for the concern.

Unfortunately I won’t do a private chat. But here’s what I found works. Also, this will help others hopefully that are looking for information. If you do PPPoE you won’t get full speed. It’s a hardware limitation on the UDM. If you’re insistent on full speed, you would do Advanced DMZ - you set your UDM to DHCP and let it get the IP from the modem. In the Homehub/Gigahub make sure advanced DMZ is checked, and you can bind it to the MAC address of the UDM. Remember what I said about DHCP? It means you don’t input your Bell credentials into your UDM as the authentication takes place on Bell’s equipment. If you have connection issues, you have to constantly reboot. The order if I remember correctly is to reboot the modem with the UDM disconnected. Then simply connect your UDM after the reboot completes and it should give you an IP. The downside is, in a power failure, you may have to repeat this process, and there’s talk about whether or not you’re double NAT with this setup. It may not show it, but it could be. Also, it’s recommended if you’re using your own equipment for wifi to disable the wifi on Bell’s equipment.

@@TechMixr Yeah I followed your steps you mentioned in the video except the issue was that my UDM PRO SE would not connect (may need to repeat your steps of multiple reboots for the UDM). I have a UPS on the equipment so if there is a short power outage it should not affect the Bell hub or UDM and switches. What I found is funny is in the early morning or late night if i run a test I get full 3 GB down and UP (or very close like 2.8 down. 3 up is consistent thru the whole day) but during the day my Download speed is around 1.6GB. I assume that Bell and Fibe is suppose to be independent of other people around my area (Where Rogers was effected by people around you). Very Strange!!! Any ideas on that . I live in the Richmond Hill area

If you’re using PPPoE it’s not related to time of day at all. That’s just a coincidence. Check your CPU usage when doing a speed test and you’ll see, it’s the UDM causing your issue. It’s been documented a lot. Also, it’s multiple reboots of the Bell equipment, not the UDM. You can try rebooting the UDM after the Bell equipment- your results may vary to others. But as long as it’s setup correctly, it should eventually connect.

@@TechMixr Thanks but not using PPPoE never did have been using DHCPv4. Was following your steps in the video

Appreciate it man!!! ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾

Did you try manually locking the speed?

⁠​⁠@@TechMixr Thanks for the quick reply! I’ve tried changing the MTU, but haven’t tried locking the link speed. (I’ll go try that now) I did manage to get my dongles to perform correctly on Windows after updating them manually (through Realtek’s website). It seems like the driver Windows Update installs by default is a bit broken.

@@aaronrh_ awesome! Hopefully Apple gets their sh*t together and addresses networking in Sonoma 🤦🏾‍♂️ my wifi on my maxed out M3 Max caps at the highest I’ve seen being 130 megabit. My 2012 is faster and so is my 2020 machine.

@@TechMixr Seems to be the same. IIRC the Realtek driver is provided by Realtek themselves, but it’s ancient and they don’t really have any incentive to fix it. WiFi-wise, yeah…it blows. 80 MHz wireless on my M1 Pro is a joke, and I typically cap out at 600-700 Mbps (exactly the same with my iPhone). My Windows machine easily pushes 1.3-1.4 Gbps over WiFi (160 MHz) lol Edit: I’m curious, what AP are you using?

@@aaronrh_ I’m using 2 ASUS AX89X routers with AIMesh with a 10 GbE backhaul. In Canada, we have Bell fibre to the home in a few places, I’m on 8 gigabit (did reviews about it on the channel)

I’m using it daily with 2.5 GbE and HDMI and it’s been flawless so far!

❤️🙏🏾 - just posted a new video about a USB-C hub that can do 2.5 gigabit. It’s not just an adapter, and I don’t see many of these around at all: czcams.com/video/NXSvNh5VN6Y/video.htmlsi=PUcMs6a6sxgYVV2-

They have fibre to their node, not to the home. So they’re not TECHNICALLY lying, just being hyper deceiving.

I did a video about Bell cancelling 8 gigabit. A friend of mine has the UDM Pro and has the same issue. We know why. It’s PPPoE. It’s explained in that video here: Bell Removes Its 8 Gigabit Offering & The CRTC Is Wild (My Honest Opinion) czcams.com/video/tn44zg0gL1c/video.html Thanks for the compliment 🙏🏾

😂😂😂😂 DO IT 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for the love dude! 🙏🏾
