Where is the daily vlog man I am going INSANE
BallisticPlayz yeah, R.I.P time schedule:(
I am going INSANE too. I agree.
I'm sure he said he doesn't do the vlog if there's another video
- loge - but yesterday there was also no vlog and no videos on his other channels. Btw he also said that he is going to upload "building the live streaming room" at Saturday, but we still didn't got a video. Dissapointed at Alex ;(
Noah van der Kamp I suppose
I am using BT Wifi Hub. I need this, when I'm at home on the top floor my wifi is so slow. Would mean a lot if I won this, good luck everyone. I'm following and got notifications on!
Faris Khan there are a lot of cheaper options aswell. You don’t need exactly what he’s talking about. I have a tp link router I use for experiments and found out you can use it as a range extender, an access point or a router
As my computer struggles to comprehend the quality of your video due to issues with my network I have been sold in 42 seconds. Well done my friend. Well done
Alex I am using talk talk but it does reach my room so I need to go the living room to watch your adorable tech flow video so I wouldn't mind witch ever you give
Where’s the daily vlogs
I use the BT SMART HUB
MSA456 sammmme
running a tp link AC 1200 in my 100MB network.. only getting a 3rd of that.. was looking at this mesh point.. but the price.... awesome review!
I would like the HD router. The router I’m currently using is a linksys 2011 model year and I can’t pick up hardly any signal in my house. Btw, thanks Alex for making all these videos you are really inspiring and creative with your work. Please never stop CZcams because I’m cheering you on for all three channels and I watch the vlogs every day. Thanks for sharing everything you do with the world. ✌🏻🌎
Xfinity Comcast in Los Angeles. Gigabit speeds, 1000 MBPS up and down with a Eero mesh network.
Wendell Laidley you mean mbps
Me to
"Mesh networking has only been around since the end of 2016" 🤦♂️
Apple's airports have had these features since 2004...
Imagine how old the tech really is ;)
Ubiquiti was around then as well. They were making mesh systems for enterprise companies before they hit the home market.
CHben Apple hasn’t had real MESH though. But things like Sky Q use a brand new type of MESH for media throughput. This is just the start though, their are a lot of very nice wireless technologies coming to market over the next couple of years, cables will be dead.
Enjoying your videos via a home made mesh system with multiple "not-even-the-same" routers, all connected to cable internet modem. Wired gets great speeds (97down/4.9up); Wireless speed ranges (11-50down/3.5-4.5up). Cool how AMPLIFI uses same network name for each mesh-point. No need to switch WiFi connections each time one goes out of range! Great kicking skills!
Current: TP-Link Archer D2.
Mesh tech is getting wicked, and trust Ubiquiti to take it to the next level in simplicity.
Great vid.
I'm using Sky Q Broadband to watch this
EnderH it’s shit though I have it
EnderH I have sky fibre and a booster ,
BT home hub 5, I get around 6Mbs down and 6Mbs up from 10 meters away from the hub. BT hubs sucks so bad. I pay for so much more than what I am getting :(
reece .johnson I have the new smart hub and get 100 up and 100 down. It’s not the router, it’s just the connection to your house.
Bartinater ! That's the wireless, if I use Ethernet I get 60 down 50 up. The wireless is the thing that sucks.
Must be where you live or your broadband package. I have the same router and Infinity 1 and get 45 down 6 up in my room across the house.
Maly73968 yep
Switch to virgin
Hey Alex! I love your videos! Keep up the great work! I watched this video on our crappy AT&T Gateway that does not even reach the back of our house :(
I'm using a old netgear router... i have a medium house with a big garden and i can't reach a decent wi-fi signal, it's time to upgrade?
connected to starbucks wifi
Amplifi vs google wifi anyone??????
They are both in the same price range idk I think more companies are making better wifi extenders
range on the google wifi was horrible returned it for amplifi never had a problem since the app is a lot better too the google one you cant change anything on it.
thanks
I am connected to an old forthnet router that for some reason stop giving WiFi like 20 time a day...BTW I love your videos and I watch your vlogs every single day... You are my inspiration...
I've been using Amplifi for a few months. My 2 story home is only 1400sq ft so I opted for the Router only option. Works great, even reaches my neighbors' house.
4:53 it's MegaBITS not MegaBytes.
That's how UK say it
@@omexy They are two different measurements though....
Who gives a fuck
4:58 alex does the MegaByte thing again. No hope for this channel if the tech guy can't even read........
Stop it you lier
Yeah STOP IT - HE ACCIDENTALLY DID THAT! U MAKE MISTAKES SOMETIMES NOW STOOOP
I liked this review... It seamed honest and to the point. I'm looking for a solid (most important feature) and a quick WiFi network at home (well who isn't ;)). Next to a stable experience, the looks of the base unit is appealing ... I will be placing (if I can manage the cost for the HD set) the base router in our main leaving room. The nice display (even with the time and date) is just super!
Well great that you tested this set, it is clear what my next steps are going to be.
With kind regards, Jeroen Wolf
hey man I'm watching this vid on some shockingly bad internet which doesn't even get 8 Mb up and 2 Mb down, this unit could change my life love the vids and i have notifications are on cos this channel is bos im currently using a plusnet router via wifi
Its not the best. Its Ubiquitti, cheap consumer grade gear that thinks its enterprise grade that is designed to be configured by 3 year olds. (Trash)
Ubiquity's wireless is actually pretty ok, although I can't justify the price (MikroTik master race ;) )
3 year olds = alex (doesn't know anything other than consumer grade tech, makes money off his name, not his knowledge).
Jonathan so true, I work my ass off to get Cisco Networks CCIE qualified and he has the gut to call himself a "network engineer". This guy.
A disgrace to the entire industry
You need not be so harsh. I am an engineer myself and I've taken the Cisco and MS tests. What Alex is doing is showing consumer grade stuff in a manner that can get youngsters interested at least. He's not shilling or anything and the kid legitimately operates his own ISP. I say give credit where credit is due.
Using an older AirPort Extreme, definitely considering buying this! Looks amazing!
Hey am using an old quad core duo computer with a wireless card thrown in and untangle as the OS. What happened to the Ubiquiti setup you had before? or was that some place other than your house?
Hi Alex, I'm currently connected to my Sky Q Hub. I'm into networking and have a love for fiddling around with my network, loved this video and your other home networking tours!
Hey Alex........ if you had the choice....? This setup or your recent setup of 3 Unifi AC HD’s, usg, 16 gig switch and cloud key?
Also what would give you the best signal and throughput?
Mate nice video. Question I have the NETGEAR RBK53 Orbi Whole Home Wi-Fi Mesh System Up to 7500 sq ft Coverage (11AC 3.0 Gbps Tri-Band with Router and 2 Satellites). With a 1GB internet connection up and down. Would you recommend the Ampufi HD instead?
I'm watching from work, shhh :)
I've been looking at this product a couple of times, since im looking for a new home system.
I dont got any router at my house, i simply got my ISP modem, with (Bad) Wifi in it.
Btw i love your vlogs.
I'm currently using an old 2010 cisco router and I'm suppose to be having 24mb/s (that's nothing compared to what you have) and I only have 11mb/s max. but only if I'm sitting next to the router. If I want to go somewhere else around the apartment I have a good signal but it is super slow and it's driving me crazy I'd love to win. Hopefully I will. I love your videos and I watch your vlogs every single day.
That’s why I subscribe to your channel. And would watch this over any other tech channel on CZcams. Thanks. For this video. I will be replacing my crappy router and getting this. But since my house is not as big as yours I will be only getting a unit with 1 mesh point.
This product is ace! Alex would love one of these got a bt standard router and have the same problem in my bedroom currently running a wire around the house to get onto my playstation :( techflow is epic bud keep up the good work!
these look awesome Alex...so currently watching on PC via ethernet on sky standard router, a few questions...if you are in an older house where the wiring is maybe not correctly connected or it's just plain old or as i am led to believe some sockets will just not receive the signal from the router...can you explain a little about this in a video maybe in the future...thanks mate
Currently stuck with an Arris because of the "only" ISP available in my town. This is an amazing product!
Hi, I'm currently watching this video on my fire stick casting from my tablet. I'm using the sky q router with a tplink range extender extending the WiFi into the living.
i am currently using a stranded virgin media router and a bt wifi range extender what my mum bought even though i told her not too! Keep up the good work !
I'm currently using a BT Hub 5. I pay for 76mb/s down and 20 mb/s up. I get around 67 mb/s close to it and about 10 at the furthest point in the house with a BT extender. Nothing special but does the job... Kinda. Great video Alex!
Through bt hub 6 to 2 ubiquity routers getting super fast fibre at about 45mbps, great video Alex
Hi Alex....I love your videos and all what you review, just one small thing...All what you review is just so expensive....I love your daily vlogs and you are a technological wizard....Keep up the good work.....
Great video once again Alex! I'm currently watching with an old cheap like 20€ TP-Link AP, really need an upgrade! :)
Quick question on an old video but still relevant I think. I enjoyed both you videos on Asus' Lyra and this one as well. If you were going to choose between the 2 which would you pick and why?
great video mate, currently using the TPlink N3000 router
by the way i love your all your videos, dont need to have a cofffeeeee....you are a stimulant
I am currently using a BT Business Hub 5 router on a 20/2 Mbps business all copper line. I have three BTBH5s setup as access points, two Cisco Meraki MR30H WAPs, two Cisco Meraki MR34 WAPs, two Cisco Meraki MS220-8 switches and an array of fully managed Cisco and Extreme Networks Gigabit and 10 Gigabit switches. I run Mellanox InfiniBand switches for all of compute network needs. My storage is currently running on Mellanox 100 Gbps InfiniBand. This is all at home as I run my own data centre at home.
You asked what we use - this is what I use.
Hi Alex I am currently using the BT home hub 6 with two old routers connected as wife extenders which means I have to manually switch between them to get the strongest signal
Hey Alex, i am using a BT TV standard and have to use a few Netgear extenders to get signal around the house.
I'm currently using a Tp-Link Archer C3200, which has been a good router. I have been looking to switch to a Google Home or a Eero setup, so would love how this compares, to the other systems. I can't wait for mesh systems to be more affordable.
I didn't find this review comprehensive and it was difficult to judge the distances away from the hub when the speed tests where done.
I am using the BT Smart hub with smart disc, it help me so much having such a fantastic system. Keep up the good work, love all your videos. Have also subscribed and liked
Just set up my Amplifi mesh last night. Very easy to set up. Quadrupled signal speed in the far bedrooms!
The router that I'm using is the ASUS RT-AC68U and I'm connected Charter internet with 60Mbps down and 5Mbps upload. It's a great router and I enjoy your videos.
Hey Alex I really enjoyed this video and really love networking too.
I am currently using the bog standard sky router and cannot afford a better one
In using the stock iinet router which im only just able to receive 2.4ghz from my room. Love the videos Alex! keep up the work mate
The best Wi-Fi video around the solar system!
Hi Alex I'm using the TP Link TL WR740N Router, and its definitely needs an upgrade, because the 2.4 signal is just getting messed up with my neightbours wifi. I would love to use any edition of the router! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video and the explanation. I'm currently connected to a Apple Time Capsule for my internet.
Hey Alex! I'm currently using the TG789vac v2, not too bad, but for the size of my house it's just not enough. After watching this video I really got into this wifi router :D
Asus router dual band,this is great can it be used with my network or do I just use amplifi setup
Using Netgear router right now. That mesh system looks so cool 👍
I am using the crapy Bt home hub 6.
Love your vids keep up the good work.
alexwhere did you put your main hd is that basement or first floor?
Currently using Netgear in house with OK results. Q: what about more mesh antennas - like to cover our church. Will main router handle additional units?
BT Smart Hub, but range is rubbish for my smart TV in my bedroom and the router is not too far away! Another Great Video :)
Can you connect this to a (my) Ubiquiti USG router and AC AP Pro setup for extending coverage?
Will this just replace the bt hub 5 or work in conjunction with the bt router?
I have to watch this on my 3G because we don't have good internet to watch, this would help so I can watch all your videos Alex
hi alex i live in the north west currently using genexis router provided by my isp called Ba4n in which i get 1gbps up and down the service they provide means the fiber is hard wired into the router in my house .
Watching on my laptop through my Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LITE, which is connected to my first-gen virgin superhub. I needed the Unifi because the virgin hub's built-in wifi antennas barely got usable signal out of the room that it was in.
Great video. This would be perfect for my house. As don't have internet on half of the house. Using the sky hub router at the moment.
a really slow plusnet router, so this would be great. By the way Alex thought i would say love your videos, been watching since MBG
Great video love Ubiquiti I’m watching this video in my unifi setup usg+cloud key+poe switch+uap-ac-hd :)
I'm watching this on 4G. Love Your videos Alex
I am watching this video on the campsite I am staying on. They give out free wifi using Ubiquiti Unifi Ac Ap Pro's and the speeds are 0.5 up and down 😂. Love the vids and would love a mesh unit. Big into networking myself but can't afford the equipment. Keep up the great work ❤️
Love the intro alex 😂👍
im just using a BT Hub 6 been meaning to upgrade this would be great!
Good review Alex & good camera work Jed (Im assuming 😂) I'm currently using a Sky Router at 33 ping, 4.66 download & 0.69 upload. These are honest results & honestly it's so slow. We've applied for fibre etc. to actually get decent internet but unfortunately I live in relatively new houses & fibre isn't available as the Internet cables were laid wrong 🙄
Currently using the Sky Fibre bog standard router. In need of a serious network upgrade!
@TechFlow i am using a TP-Link Archer router with a slow wifi connection. i would be sure as hell be interested in the Amplifi but (in case of a second place :) ) the AC LR will do wonders too
Hi mate. How does this system differ from Netgear Orbi? is it any better/worse? Thanks.
Currently using a Netgear C7000-100NAS cable Modem gateway with ACwifi. Would love to upgrade to an all ubiquity system, it would allow me to get rid of the homewire ethernet extenders that I have to use to reach to my kids bedrooms.
I'm currently using virgin media router but we have had it changed 2 times already and it is still playing up. No matter what we do it still fails to give us good enough connection. My dad I's always stressed when he comes home from work as he can never do his computer work due to the bad connection. I hate to say it but our house is usually on KB for both download and upload and has never ever reached 10 MB or above
Good video. I'd love for you to try the Orbi. It's the type type of system. I have it and would like a comparison
I am using the BT Hub which goes into a Extreme Networks switch with VLANs (separating traffic between different networks) that my three Unifi APs understand (Internal, Guest and Home).
AP AC Lite here, with Edgerouter X. Covers the whole apartment in 35 to 300Mbps. May be more but my devices are not so new and that's all they get. Would be nice to see how one of these stacks up against the single AP I have.
Alex good video dude! Try using a LAV mic next time round, it'll change the video for the better!
Good stuff! Great video/review.
Been selling these to home users since Ubiquiti gave birth to them.
Before these, we used Ubiquiti's UniFi series (still use them though for business use).
I giggled every time you said "rooter" :)
I'm watching off a Sky Box
I'm so glad you made this video
My Mom really needs a new wifi system but we can't afford it
OMG i love the idea! I am actually inspired by you to make a cool mancave :p but i have one problem... we have no internet.. this device would be perfect! mabe i could just use the closest house..hehe... love your videos man!
hey there :)
huge fan from Israel !
I am using TP-Link network gear all over my house and private AP at my room producing ~ 40 mb\s download .
Really enjoyed the video :) currently using the virgin media superhub 2 which has its flaws lol
i'm watching this on your diy mesh system that you made a video about previously!
Currently connected to 3 network, in the house I have sky’s standard router but I have been toying with the idea of TP Links or google WiFi
Am using a BT Wi-Fi Home Hub 6. I was most impressed by your presentation of the Amplifi HD. Hope I win one!!
Can you please review budget ways of getting strong internet? My home internet only just pulls in a couple mb up and down and I'd love stronger.
Hi Alex i.ve just ran a eathanet extention cable from living room to daughters bedroom by running the cable along the house and in through the wall signal and speed is 10 times better obviously cause it's hard wired but still struggle with WiFi in her room what could I now do to improve this
can you make a video other mesh wifi, like D Link C1203, or TP Link Deco M5 or M9? it would be awesome if you can
I'm connected to my iPads personal hotspot which is 1 bar of 4G and really slow and I'm able to go to another room without loosening signal and it only has five spaces for people to connect to. Thanks love your videos ❤️❤️
Hey bro i needed to ask something, are there any ways i can make a 5-10 kilometres of Wifi zone, and the range wouldn’t be bothered by trees and buildings?
