Wi-Fi 6 Demo: Samsung S10 and Cisco AP: 802.11ax / wifi 6 smashes it! 

Thanks for sharing David! This is awesome!

lol.. brilliant! Unfortunately we will need to wait until later in the year for more end device support :(

Glad to hear that! Labbing and learning are the way to grow and get ahead

We actually used Google Chrome with the stats for nerds option turned on.

That's RU-vid. Just pop the "stuff for nerds" open.

Lunhamege, I was simply using the new Cisco Catalyst 9800-CL WLC because I was curious to see what new features are available with it. Older WLCs also support the new WIFI6 APs as long as they can run a recent version of code.

Thanks for watching David!

Some of the phones used for testing and development are special, not for resale phones. Don't be fooled by the phone exterior :) See the devices registered to the AP here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e6fqQQA2Hu4.html

@@davidbombal Yeah, true. It runs 802.11ax for real :)

Graham, we are using the stats for nerds option in Google Chrome. On mobile, Google Chrome has the option to show that type of information if you click on the 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner of each video and choose playback settings and then stats for nerds. You can also change the quality and speed of the video in there. Hope this helps.

Walter, while up to 9.6Gbps is theoretically possible with WIFI6, the test in the video was performed in an environment with a couple of restraints: the location is in a lab with quite a bit of background wireless interference and also the placement of the AP and the antennas is not optimal to name just a few. The purpose of the demo was not to push the technology to its limits in regards to data transfer but to simply showcase side by side two wireless clients connected to the same access point, using different technologies (WIFI6 vs. WIFI5) and their behavior when watching a high definition video on RU-vid. Keep in mind that the RU-vid playback algorithm and caching mechanism also come in the picture. If you pay attention when you watch a RU-vid video, the content is loading as you watch the video at a steady pace not necessarily at the maximum transfer rate that is available on your client, then pausing while you catch up, then loading again. Hope this answers at least part of your concerns. We might do a test in which we push the technology to its data transfer limits if there is interest :)

@@adrianiliesiu2778 +1 for interest in trying to hit that speed 🤞 tx for the explanation

I know the feeling :(

Depends on brand. You should contact Cisco about their pricing / or your local partner / distributor. However, there are not many clients at the moment. Samsung S10 is one of very few client devices that support wifi 6.

Клипчето си беше за България :)

@@velislavbanchov926 О да, по нататъка може да се наложи да си зема една pcie 802.11ax карта за компа :)

Wifi 6 is expected to be ratified later this year (2019). Devices now available are pre-standard. Probably be a while before Wifi 7 :)

I created my own video using iPerf and a range of iPhones here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-unc36O66Ef0.html - this is probably more in line with what you would expect.

Adrian gave this answer about the speed in the video demo: "While up to 9.6Gbps is theoretically possible with WIFI6, the test in the video was performed in an environment with a couple of restraints: the location is in a lab with quite a bit of background wireless interference and also the placement of the AP and the antennas is not optimal to name just a few.

@@davidbombal cool but WiFi 5 wave didn't get well in practice . Speed is one point but I agree with power saving compared to last gen on mobile devices. Even with WiFi 5 wave 2 with ht160 it's feasible for 1gbps .

@@ulaganath I'll try to make a video showing the max speeds :)

@@davidbombal thanks. Real comparison has to be any WiFi 5 wave 2 support ht160 band spectrum with capabilities to store more than 120MB/s against wifi6 . In reality wave 2 also quad antenna upto 1733 which can be achieved by 2 antenna if it's support ht160 band combination of two 80mhz. Also the wifi6 and WiFi 5 should be compared side by side with the top end routers of their gen per the smaller builder ranking.

Cisco have only recently released their Wifi 6 Access Points. Other vendors including NetGear have released devices earlier than Cisco.
