What is 802.11ax Wi-Fi? 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11#802.11af

Dang it!! I thought for sure no one else would have posted that yet!

Dang it! I just commented that!

This should have 1k likes tbh. Update 1 month later: Great Job reaching 1000k likes!

In November 2019 we're gonna have wireless ay. ayyyy

yes

Yes.

YEs..

Yes

Don't give them ideas.

Bram De Laet it's baby poo

Bram De Laet LMAO

lol

i thought maybe jaundice?

What does 6 fall under? Or is it just "6" ??

AX still.

CRAPPY

AND WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY $200 ASUS X551MA LAPTOP SCREEN?! Actually, it is crappy...typical TN fare.

Crappy laptop screen

Fight him, Linus

i might deck out my setup with everything fusion5 has of their store

MynameisMads You.... are correct. I can't unsee it now.

It must be the BS color feature.

I thought the same thing, his hands look yellow...did Linus forget to wash after...egummm...

I imagine it's due to green screen reflection? Either way the editor needs to do some color correction on that.

nosferatu5 I dont think so they usually dont have this problem

+Lurick You bothered with trying CompTIA Network+? Sounds like you got enough wisdom to back this stuff up (fact wise)

i thought 802 stands for 1980 February (80's 2nd month)... i was taught wrong. O.o

802 was chosen because of this and it stands for computer communication.

802 was just the next number in the IEEE sequence. February 1980 was just a coincidence. "The project number, 802, was simply the next number in the sequence being issued by the IEEE for standards project" - grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/802%20overview.pdf

Between 1979 and 1980, lots of networking research was done by three companies known as the DIX alliance (Digital equipment corp, Intel, Xerox). This stuff was formalized as the IEEE standard "802.1" on Feb 1980 and so was given the prefix 802 (I know this because I was working in the industry back then). The suffix designated the technology so that 802.3 was Ethernet while 802.5 was token ring, etc. Remember that this started at the time that private networks like ARPAnet and ALOHAnet (two only name two of many) were being changed so they could connect together (ie. inter-network). So if a packet was expected to be properly routed between networks (or between wire technologies) then the packets needed to conform to 802.1 and 802.2

Scitenik I'm sticking with my $15 Rosewill 150 until it dies on me.

Well you see its not easy to develope New wifi types plus Asus is the only Company with Ax routers so...

LOL

LOLL'I579 and yet they do cross!

They do cross, but the fact they are dotted confuses the fuck out of your brain and the line looks like it curves to avoid the other line xD

Yeah like others have said, they do cross, your brain is just confused and trying to "bend" the lines

Noticed but still satisfying :D

SUGGESTED ANSWER: with electricity ;) Sorry ..... :)

Wirelessly

Put in the microwave. 1 second for each 10 pct battery you want to recharge.

Someone trickle charger.

Darren Woloshyn no, never, you should never ever do that, ever.

Loz Turner right? It's like that in a lot of their videos but I don't know why.

I think it’s from when his hands were covered in CPU thermal compound, like submerged in it. That was a while ago.

Isn't his wife Asian?

Loz Turner Because their video editor doesn't know what white balencing is.

Blacksnyder ah yeah that old skin colour rubbing off on things. Nightmare with light fabric furniture. Forever cleaning damn skin stains... Or white balance.

underrated

I don’t think that will occur.

Really

Unreliable

Let me just say, at least AD makes a semblance of sense! They started to follow a pattern, then ditched it... What a surprise

AD used 60 ghz so is fast but only if you are near the router and can't through walls. AX will do that because it's used 5ghz signal. Its an evolution of AC.

AD was... basically pointless. Only worked with line of sight over a short range, so, like, the scenario where a wire would be easy.

802.11ad (which runs at 60GHz) is basically wireless at wired speeds and latency, but with a really small range that doesn't make it practical for mobile devices. It is good for stationary ones that you don't want to plug a cable into for some reason and other devices that need high bandwith, but you wouldn't want a cable sticking out of them, like VR headsets. There's 802.11ay (also at 60GHz), which should be the next wireless standard for these use cases.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11#802.11ad

No ad is getting superseded by 802.11ay which quadruples the bandwidth and adds mu-mimo

ad didn't replace ac, just like ax isn't replacing ad. ay is the one that replaces ad and uses 60GHz. There's no reason to use ad for mobile phones, as the Wi-Fi area was very limited. It is good for something like HTC Vive, which uses ad if you want it to be wireless, as the space you could use it in was already limited and there's much lower latency when using this connection.

I know, but I just love saying it because everyone here thinks Australia invented WiFi because of the CSIRO thing.

Actually CSIRO did invent WiFi and get paid a royalty. The person who made a standard didn't invent the idea and the first proof of concept.

Nope. They accidentally stumbled upon what would later become a major technology in WiFi. CSIRO are patent trolls.

Cheetos

Well, it's a good thing this is the real world, and not a shitty RPG, so you can skip that generation LuL

:D Will I get banned for skipping upgrades irl? Hope it is not considered cheating.

ac only improves traffic efficiency on the ap side, linked devices benefit by accessing data at same time instead of waiting in line. look up "gps-sync" on ubiquiti ac devices and youll see what i mean..

I'm still on N so shut up.

im on N, shitty cheap router that has costed me dozens of competitive match lost in csgo..

802.11XXX when wifi goes hardcore..

no thank you

Linus should read the CWSP book. WiFi technology is labeled 802.11, Ethernet is 802.3. The letter after the number signifies the work group of engineers that worked on a specific part of the 802.11 technology. For instance 802.11a group worked on 5Ghz. They just work their way down the alphabet. You've never heard of 802.11i but it exist and is in all 802.11 WiFi. It deals with security requirements, WPA2.

The WiFi that never lags your po--,,, Fancy Videos!

AD signals is really bad if you put a card board box in front of the router you will lose connection. he did a video about it

adblock

The new Samsung s9 will support 802.11ad

Marley you beat me to it.

Missed opportunity.

802.3af is a Power over Ethernet standard already.

Copied comment

Coz his is standing in front of a green screen, which produces green ambient light.

Kevin Corbett I don’t see it...

ignasb Isn’t Linus Media Group a video production company?

ignasb if you think they didn't notice this or are not familiar with filming, you are not very smart.

Looks orange on mine...somebody played with some fake sunscreen or has jaundice lol

Quit it xD

You picked the wrong house, foo’.

Not first

TrevorWorek first

I'm a savage 😂😂😂

first

Istiak Ahmad last

First

Mirek Heikkila you had to be that guy...

Most of his audience is US based, so shut it.

Lol I've noticed this too on more than one occasion. Doesn't really bother me but I do like it when he uses proper Canadian as well as metric units and Canadian currency. So much of the internet that we see over here already panders to Americans so it's nice to see content--especially popular content--that reminds people the western hemisphere is not just the USA. It's also nice not having to convert units in my head =)

There's not really a "correct" way to spell, it's all arbitrarily made up in equal measure. Also ya'll need Manifest Destiny.

Colour - British spelling (like, flavour, humour, honour). Color - US.
