chaquator Yeah, exactly. They could have gone over at LEAST the basics. But they just went from point a to point b, IN A MAZE, without explaining the directions.
Not to confuse terminology, Wi-Fi is a name of a standard of WLAN networks that follow IEEE 802.11 standard. What you have explained is how Wireless Local Area Network works in general, and Wi-Fi is a WLAN network between Wi-Fi certificated devices by certain standards.
the representation of the visual wifi signal is wrong though. You wouldn't be able to see the pulses move through the air. Just like light, you would see objects that reflect them into your eye, unless you look directly into the wave source, in which case many of the "wifi rays" hit your eyes directly, much like looking into a light bulb. In a sense, seeing wifi would look very much as if you are looking at a street with old school street lamps on (that emit light in all directions instead of a beam downwards). Only instead of light bulbs, you have wifi routers :P Okay, maybe more like light shining through windows into a dark street, with walls that are made of paper so a bit of light still passes through
please stop calling the waves wifi- wifi is just the name of the connection type, the waves are in the RF band, specifically the 2.4Ghz is in the UHF band, and the 5Ghz is in the SHF band, and they don't radiate in every direction like a bulb, they radiate only when the electron movement is visible as perpendicular to the angle of the observer, it should also be noted that light doesn't just go in a straight line- it refracts and defracts too, and as the RF band is significantly lower frequency these effects are much more pronounced
Marc Purkiss I know too many people, who have mentioned in conversation, on going problems with the wifi connection to their router disconnecting or taking too long and timing out... and of course the ever-popular complaint, of not being able to connect at all, in certain areas or rooms... I get them to show me where the router is located, and typically it will be sitting behindva monitor, on a desk against the outside-wall of a room, on the 2nd floor (or basement). Sometimes against the outside wall which faces the street, and they cant figure out why access in their backyard is poor. First thing I tell them, (if the modem and router are seperate devices, leave the modem where it is, but relocate the wifi router to the main floor, as close to the center of the house...on top of a cabinet for example.. and if possible, in line of sight to doorways.. of course now a Cat 6 cable will have to be run from the modem to the router, which I offer to do... but most of the time they don't like the idea of running lan cable through walls, because "oh that will make such a mess, and I hate seeing wires... and there will be a hole in the wall..."... I assure them no wires will be hanging out of the walls, and the drywall dust will be vacuumed up..and 'what hole? There will be a wall plate with an RJ45 jack behind where the router would be... and if they still don't want to do it, I tell them to get used to it and stop complaining...
Thank you very much, I always wanted to know what WiFi is and how it works. Could you please make a video that explains how the router creates WiFi and how data works, like how does the router know the monthly WiFi it gives and how security works in the router that connects through data
The speed at which EMR travels has NOTHING to do with the speed at which we can transmit data over wifi..... I HATE when people who are trying to educate people, simplify a concept so much that it becomes at it's core Wrong.... PLEASE fix this video to more accurately represent HOW wifi works, OR take it down.
***** "Heat" is just the vibrations of particles. Infrared heats things up because it's easily absorbed, causing the particles in that object (i.e our skin out in the day) to heat up. But infrared waves themselves aren't really "heat" i guess. If we're talking about heat travelling from one object to another, like convection/conduction, then you do need air the the vibrations to be passed along to adjacent particles, like sound.
***** I just explained it lol. Infrared rays are em waves and they can travel through space. They are absorbed by stuff here causing it to heat up. But I don't know if infrared would be classed as heat..It's like how a microwave heats things up, but if you open it, it's not hot inside unlike an oven.
binary data is represented in the electromagnetic wave medium instead of how it is on your computer, then other computers (routers or the client computer) can read the binary data and now they have the binary data that was meant to be transferred from one computer to another what's not to understand
I always thought physics was counter intuitive because it did not make sense to me, but the more I gained knowledge about physics in general the more it slowly started to make any logical sense
Would WiFi work as a military application, in a broken building searching for enemies. The WiFi could perhaps calculate on and off bounces of moving objects and give you their location?
The signal is more like a donut than a dome or circus tent because the antenna isn't a point and is mostly directing the signal where its needed, around it not not into the sky. You came close to describing a microwave video sender, which replaces a composite cable, and could directly affect 'pixels' on a flat screen. Perhaps without going into the technical details, you could describe the wifi as a replacement for one shared cable, with collisions that arise when multiple devices try to transmit on it, and how the chosen frequency affects the range as wall penetration increases with wavelength. If the signal 'bumps' into antoher signal, it's corrupted, and not slowed down.
'tell your pixels what to do' He should of prefaced that with 'so say for example, you're streaming a video' I still feel like there's a ton of information missing. He spent ages explaining what EM waves are and how they work, but very little time actually explaining how information is actually transferred and processed by wifi hardware
As you started explaining how a Wi-Fi signal can be slowed down, the internet here did actually slow to the point of the video not playing. Funny coincidence.
It doesn't matter, I got the gist of it - now I'm at least smarter than those who nitpick at technicalities and fail to understand this is a 4 minute video on a very complex technology.
WiFi does not "control the pixels on your screen". What it does is gather all the signals in your house (and transmits some signals to your computer) via a WiFi router. Then, that router transmits and receives those signals on a higher frequency wave. In other words, it's the analog to a telephone pole transformer.
I don't care about what frequency is or that it can't go through walls. I already know that stuff. What I came here hoping to learn is how that signal is turned into radio waves and then turned back into information.
Just looking at your profile picture would have been enough for me to think "That's totally the kind of guy that has ethernet cables running all over his house, probably half-tucked under the carpet edges and duct taped around corners".

BigBen Hebdomadarius heat itself is not electomagnetic radiation, it's the collision of matter particles, which by this action emit small traces of infrared radiation. You need matter in the first place to conduct heat. Infrared radiation is the result of heat, not the cause of it.
Could this be more inaccurate in terms of physics and computer science, this is way too over simplified. "Wifi is type of electromagnetic radiation" "Wifi is carrying information to your computer to tell it what to do for each pixel on the screen"

Ok tech nazi. This is called vulgarisation and this is actually super helpeful to make people with no particular background understand the basics of a subject.
Hate to correct the video but WiFi doesnt travel at the speed of light. Thats why LiFi is being perfected for the general markets. LiFi is around 1000X the speed of WiFi, emits no radiation, remains more secure then WiFi and can even transmit signals in light soo dim we cant even detect it. LiFi is going to replace WiFi and will even be adapted to self driving cars and other autonomous machines. God i love LiFI
Heat doesn't need air or other medium to be spread. However it is true that part of the heat is spread by contact and by circulation, part of heat is transmitted via IR radiation which doesn't need anything to be transmitted. In fact air makes IR transmission less efficient.
So, maybe this is a stupid question, but I understand how waves propagate in a medium such as water or air, but where there is essentially "nothing", what is the medium through which EM waves propagate. We understand that space is not an "ether" as they used to think. It's not a "stuff" at all, but just saying they "don't need air" to propagate doesn't answer the question of what they might do need. Basically the question is waves in what? Even saying "quantum foam" doesn't actually answer that question, because it all comes back to it being made out of space, which isn't a "thing".
Well light is an EM wave and science has come up with the "photon" as the light "particle" ... Electrical field + Magnetic field, coupled together. Not really "moving" or "travelling", simply existing in the form of waves and permeating the universe wherever there are electrical charges (moving and static) to generate them. Quantum physics however prefers to speak of "particles". The question isn't easy at all, nor is it stupid in my view. Trying to understand how the other 3 fundamental forces of the universe 'act' or are applied is equally mentally challenging.
Why are X-Rays shown as having longer than visible light? (1:08) The given measurement is correct, but showing it as longer than visible light is rather confusing.
Heat is a result of the movement of particles but there you said that it can not travel without a medium. While that is essentially true it can be misleading as objects can be heated up using light (infrared) even in vacuum, thus heat can be transmitted through vacuum, not only physical contact with a medium made up out of particles. So I guess travelling is really a technicality since the energy itself can travel without a medium while the effect is only noticeable in actual matter.

Exactly because Wifi and light are in fact the same thing (EMR), just with different wavelengths.
please stop calling the waves wifi- wifi is just the name of the connection type, the waves are in the RF band, specifically the 2.4Ghz is in the UHF band, and the 5Ghz is in the SHF band, and they don't radiate in every direction like a bulb, they radiate only when the electron movement is visible as perpendicular to the angle of the observer, it should also be noted that light doesn't just go in a straight line- it refracts and defracts too, and as the RF band is significantly lower frequency these effects are much more pronounced

Everything would not be blur as light is electromagnetic too. It would be blinding won't it?

While that is essentially true it can be misleading as objects can be heated up using light (infrared) even in vacuum, thus heat can be transmitted through vacuum, not only physical contact with a medium made up out of particles.
