Can't wait for 802.11ax routers and gigabit internet connections to become a standard.
Danyal A. AX is coming this year in the enterprise space but devices still won’t be ready for a few years on a large scale.
Wave 2 AC products are only just becoming main stream now.
High end devices should be compatible with AX connections next year and the first AX consumer routers should start popping up this year.
AX will be backwards compatible with AC but the actual wireless chipsets for laptops etc wont be around most likely till 2019. Highend devices like Dell XPS will most likely have them as soon as they are released but the mainstream sub 1k laptops most likely wont till 2020 due to cost.
Qualcomm already unveiled a AX modem last month.
Danyal A. I already agreed with you on that, I’m talking about the chipsets that will be in laptops, phones not routers or access points
Came on here for the short answer and y’all just roast this man 😂💀

Just by reading the comment section, I can see how cruel of a world we live on. These people are the ones to kill innocents. They will do anything to make a little laugh. Usually happens when they aren’t happy with their personal life.
DankestMemes bro people just jokinf chill out
DankestMemes nah he just looks funny nothing to do with murder lol
@@dankestmemes693 chill u f*ckin snowflake
Zain Kaly fuck you and your weird ass name
Tries a gaming router, but uses a mac
has nothing to do, for test the features of the router tho
Anisify I know I hate macs
x_rebelfighter_x the real question is who doesn’t?
Only douche bags "hate" macs. Usually people that have never used them too. Stop trying to be so edgy and a bandwagon
EAGLE___EMPIRE macs are ass for gaming tho
"Rooter"
"Row-terrr"
It's pronounced like that in the UK
oh, everybody I know in the uk calls it that, it doesn't matter
When I say rowter my mum laughs at me
RUTTA
Every single video I watch and come upon from him everyone is always bullying him💀
Because every people would judge what they see
A router for gaming!? They'll make a router for literally every device , while i'm stuck here only the next room, barely picking up 1 bar XD
MrKing 144p Squad
I remember in middle school I was trying to steal my neighbor who was across the street wifi. It worked. Just had to be super close to the wall.
Uea i have VERY bad ping and i HATE IT! It makes me look like a bad player. Look like your teleporting to other people and on your screen you freeze in place or think you are moving but end back up in the same spot like a rubber band.. I HATE THAT CRAP! Small suggestion, if you dont buy a router then atleast buy am ethernet cable to connect to the router you do have. It will give you better connection
@@MrR4ge89 O get ban on minecraft server cuz my ping is 1000,people report me cuz all think i teleport
Incognito huh 👀👀👀
CardiUno I use that to stash my porn history away
Uz1Gang exactly
CardiUno try a vpn. Incognito mode still sells your data.
But be careful with a VPN, the 5 eyes are something to worry about.

You covered everything I wanted and got to the point on all of them. Brilliant
great video again Alex and Jed only thing is that you're missing the links in the description again. Love the videos both here and on your other channels. Keep up the good work :)
idk if you have ever owned a gaming router or a highspeed netgear router but all that design that has vents is there for cooling purposes. they do have their own prcessors and such that needs to have space and airflow to cool especially one that works as hard as that one does. btw unhook those antennas and see how far you go before losing wifi connection then connect them and see how much further you get. i can be like 50 meters away through 4 building walls outside of my apartment in my car and still get signal lol
"Rueter", "Efernet"... Cheers from America bro, all good stuff.

It's rooter mate
@@samyoung7257 thats fukin right mate
Just a bit deaf
This is one of the best reviews I have ever seen. Thank you.

Pee pee poo poo time

U right bruh I got crippling depression
Just don't try. We do live in a cruel world where people will bully anyone. but you posting in the comments isn't going to stop anything.. Btw you spelled Innocent wrong just letting you know
I think it’s because the consumer is looking for a gaming router over a normal router and they instantly recognise it’s a gaming router 🙂
Amazing techflow video. Nice work Alex Brooks and Jed Lilley.
I knew nothing about routers what so ever before watching this video, but I actually really enjoyed it and you did a great job of explaining everything. Great job! Keep up the awesome work Alex and Jed!
What he didn’t say is that it’s £300+
I love the video. I just wish the audio was a little better. Do you have any lav mics for next time?
Awesome video mate :) I've just subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more of your content in the foreseeable future.
thank you this helped me make my decision on what to get
When is the MacBook video coming out? You were recording it in the vlogs a while ago and I’m thinking of getting one and want to know your guys’ thoughts?
Shaun Woods absolutely stay the fucking fuck away from that fuck
Shaun Woods get a gaming PC. Macs are shit
Inv1ctus Macs are good for a lot of things. You’re probably just salty that you can’t afford one.
He sounds like each time he says router he actually saying root her... ngl giving me motivation.
awesome video bro.. helps me LOADS! would never have thought they would do so much and honestly I thought you'd steer me away from gaming routers lol
Great video mate! Looking forward to watching your next video 😁
What is that ping website called
1:25 is my gaming setup but without the Laptop, Monitor, Xbox, and PS4
Good Video. Great information. A bit fast paced but never boring. Thanks for a video that isn't just posting the company ad. Helped me decide what to purchase. Even subscribed.
Great review!!
When he said “rooter” I felt that
When you bring home your alien after Area 51 raid......
best techflow video ever Keep up the hard work Alex and jed
Love the videos alex, but maybe when you're not in the techflow studio, use a on person mic so the quality is at the professional level of the other videos.
Mine buffered at 11:17 and it was perfect 😂
since i play in my room and the router is in the living room do i buy this and put it in my room and use eithernet ?
realityX Mm did you figure it out?
Great review man
Nice review. Thank you.
Awesome videos guys! Keep up the hard work Alex and jed🔥🔥
Hay Marz can u review the linx vision 8 gaming tablet (available at tescos (£80) or eBay (£70) )
No
This was so helpful. I know I’m super late but thanks so much.
Great Video. Very informative. Thank you.
Kef LS50s eh
So when I buy it all I have to do is set it up and I can use it? Or am I going to keep paying monthly Bill's? I'm interested in buying this .
You have to pay your monthly internet bill duh
@@minionsreal so I'm confused , do I have to have netgear to use it ? I have spectrum .
Absolutely great tutorial! I love my xr500 and once it is setup correctly, managing you network is a breeze! Probably overkill for most but this is how routers should be implemented for homes...folks would become more knowledgeable and IT networking would then become much easier to explain to average users!
Yo im new to your chanel and this how you explained i understanded everything and helped me aton thanks allot for the info now i know
Link he forgot to mention: www.dslreports.com/speedtest
Thank alot .
thaanks man i was looking it
thanks
My bufferbloat score is an A without QoS, yeah pfSense for the win!
Max what router?
A VMware virtual machine on a Dell PowerEdge R710 server.
its a server. hehehehe
Homogeneous Khalidious yes :D
What was your actual ping VS your standard rooter?
Great video Alex.
Killing me with the "rooter" ? 💀💀
It is a 'rooter' though. A 'rowter' is a woodwork machine. If you're from the UK and don't use these two words correctly, then you need to go back to school.
So yes
Abid That isn't very nice
Tis'nt
Lol messed up
Max your that kid In school that bumlicks init I can just tell
Hm.
very informative
Great video !!
Aussie internet be like 3 download and 0.5 upload.
And Ireland
I rekon
13:30 Awwwesome room
I like the bandwidth allocation thingy and that's rlly it.
Hey man! Great video on the XR500. Thanks to your review, that will probably be my next router :)
BTW, what's the song you play in the end of the video?
Thanx! :)
you should use another room that one so much echo just saying
Gooooooodddd

Just got my new gaming rooster so sick!
great job, thanks
I remember I almost bought a NetDuma router....Good thing I never did.
Hataz y?
Ive learn through trail and error that these high priced routers mean nothing when online gaming. The netcode in WW2 is trash and the imortant thing is ping. Use ethernet cord and lobby surf... it sucks but COD sucks and us gamers have no other choice.
ee
@Jesse Pinkman don't come in here responding to a two-year-old post... 😂E
You taught me something with the pings. Thank you
@TechFlow Where did you get your desk? It's BEAUTIFUL.!
Um thats Infinite Warfare not Advanced Warfare
Guys amazing video. Glad to see someone with knowledge, and making it easy for us to understand. Cheers mate, keep up the awesome work :)) Love these vids keep them up as well :) I also admire that you don't recommend what's in bulk in shops. Normally it's shit mate. gg nice. I never touch manuals as well. I didn't even with my electic guitar's old pedalboard, I had and it went well xD.
You make great videos bro keep up the good work i just found this Him good job bro
You have some serious tech there! Love the large screens for your PC... Could I use this with my VM router/hub? How would this work with out a clash, if they both have the same access address?
dude look like sid from ice age😂😂😂
bro u need a mic just get one
Bro big up the KEF LS50’s 👍
So what non consumer networking equipment and routers do you recommend and where can I get them and how much?
Listen world,
You don't want ot buy any router, get a Netduma R1, I'm not fucking joking, neither am I sponsored bu them lol. But this router, although it costs 200$ (which if you think about it can be less than other netgear or asus stuff) is litterally a beast. Its the router with the most possibility and optiosn for gamers, sand it comes with one of the best vpn technologies, without paying more.
Trust me you won't regret it.
Ethernet is better
no shit
Yea thats if you have a phone socket right next to your gaming pc in your room which is highly unlikely
Optic500 facts
Optic500 they make longer cords than 1ft long
basshead true or u can use a powerline adapter which is the same as ethernet
Whats the device you got to connect the laptop to the router?
So if you set your geofilter to a certain area you can’t play with anyone outside of that area?
I have a netgear gaming router. It works really well. :D
does it help with reducing ping or does it just work well for extra LAN cables and wifi distribution.
You look like that dude from Wallace and grempit😂😂🤦🏽♂️
Great videos ✌🏻 keep it up
Excellent video
He looks like a rabbid from rayman 😂
nothing better than a new rooter!
It's called a gaming router because it has the latest netduma os included which allows you to have a bunch features strictly for gaming and you get congestion control
Do you have to plug the internet cable in?
“Eethernet rooter”
Omg why are y’all so mean!!!! Smh watch the video and go
Great video cheers buddy
What's the website you used to test??
*ETHERNET*
Get 10% off Squarspace, thanks alex i do love a bit of squarspace
If I put one of these in my room how would I connect it to my normal router without a Ethernet cable??
You have a ruter, good for you and nice video. Nice job.
STOP SAYING ROOOTER
That's because Roooter is the correct pronunciation as its not a "Router" for cutting wood.
@@SITHRooTs what?
@ExN Exeneris I take it you're from US?
If so then I understand, as Americans don't pronounce and spell words properly.
You speak English language, but make up your own spellings and pronunciations of words.
Router is spelt the same in both instances, but has two meanings that are pronounced differently. Rowter : in sounding is a tool used in woodwork. Rooter: in sounding is a what people use for internet connection. BOTH are spelt the same, but sounding different. Look it up in the english dictionary.
We dont make up spelling
@@exnxris- You are either ignorant or stupid. Ok last school lesson.
English language spelling - Armour. American spelling - Armor.
There are plenty of other comparisons but I think I've just proved my point.
5:29 pause the vid 😂😂

Just by reading the comment section, I can see how cruel of a world we live on. These people are the ones to kill innocents. They will do anything to make a little laugh. Usually happens when they aren’t happy with their personal life.
I have one question, so do you need to have good speeds already with your internet provider to have good speeds with the gaming router?
I’m wondering the same thing
I'd assume so
@@Jay-jx3vp Damn bruh, this was a year ago lmao. I was so desperate for good WIFI. ending up upgrading from CenturyLink to Xfinity and went hardwired
when daily vlogs has better audio quality than the main channel xD
9:30 wait, what? No it doesn’t. Games know your location and connect you to other people in your general region...
I like your videos and I like your channel, but don’t try to stretch the truth to make a product look better than it is.
Well no, they do connect you to mostly people in your region, but sometimes it connects you with people from all over the world. This router refuses that to happen at all
Not all games. Pubg is one good example
The router physically disables any host outside of the radius that is set, regardless of any Geo-location code that the game would be running to connect to local servers. The router can do this because it is physically talking to the authentication server that provides the data connection. The reason that this can happen is because each location gets certain IP addresses that are for that location and the router will know this from a database of IP's.
He didnt stretch the truth, I looked this up and it does what he said it does, it tries to connect you to which ever anywhere in the world. It looks at best connection, sometimes that can be hundreds of miles away, it depends on the internet provider and what they limit the bandwidth allowed so a connection 100 yards away could be a bad connection where one 20000km away could be faster. Most travel at the speed of light now so it doesnt matter where your location is.
Peyton yea it does dude basically lets say u live in the uk sometimes when you play u might join someone in america and like australia it happens it happens with me
Great video but please stop clicking your fingers xD
Another great video!
Thanks!
