Remij 5,046 Posted Sunday at 01:21 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:21 AM New router and PCIe Wifi 6 adapter for the PC.  Old Wifi 5 network:  New Wifi 6 network:  I have gigabit internet which is 950🔽 50🔼  (yes.. 50Mbps upload lmao Canada internet  ) and as you can see, it's maxing it out. I'm extremely happy with it. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get my full ISP speed out of it and was going to accept it as long as it got close.. but this exceeded my expectations   Any of you guys have newer Wifi setups? I know there's 6e and even 7 coming out but any adapters that could actually take advantage of that speed are more expensive than I'm willing to pay at the moment. Once it gets more established maybe, but I think Wifi 6 will hold me for a while. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,458 Posted Sunday at 01:24 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:24 AM I just got a WiFi 6E setup. Â Congrats on your new setup. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,458 Posted Sunday at 01:32 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:32 AM (edited) Also, I got 2 sats and modem/router combo to reduce space fuckery. It’s been amazing.  I don’t have fiber, but it’s 550 down and 40 up. I’m blowing out everyone near me with the 8000 sqft reach, so I had to reduce output on the sats because it was an issue internally. I’m getting a consistent 1.5-2.3Gpbs off my plex server powered by novideo. Edited Sunday at 01:35 AM by lynux3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I could get AT&T fiber or Google Fiber for 1000/1000 both ways, but Spectrum is cheap right now. Link to post Share on other sites

I have my PC wired and dont really use wifi for anything besides spotify or streaming shows/movies but ill have to look into upgrading at some point. Link to post Share on other sites

For a gig down and up, it’s about $80+fees with a promo, not sure how shitty it’ll get down the road. My house is setup for fiber and an ONT already exists. Just a matter of checking noise on the line and at&ts bullshit modem. I could bypass by spoofing the MAC, but haven’t gotten to that point.  i don’t need that much bandwidth. I measured online play with Helldivers, Destiny, etc., and it’s maybe 1-2Mbps up. Games don’t take much. Link to post Share on other sites

Shit was sweet... I have two wifi 6 unifi APs so I was getting over 900 Mbs down, through the entire house, back yard + front yard etc.  Couple weeks ago downgraded to 300mbs only difference I noticed is games download slower now but everything else works fine.  Funny enough my 300mb plan over fiber with wifi 6 has better numbers than your gigabit internet over wifi 5.  My long rage Unfi wifi 6 AP died last week, when I went to the store to replace it saw that they now have wifi 7 Unfi APs.   I won't even bother getting that for maybe another 4 years because currently they're so few wifi devices even out to take advantage of that. Edited Sunday at 02:25 AM by Goukosan 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, that's completely different. Gigabit has been a thing for forever with ethernet lol. What I have here is basically gigabit ethernet speed over wifi. If you've got no reason to go with high-speed wifi for something like your primary PC, there's really not much reason to upgrade. Once you have enough devices in the household which are Wifi 6, then it becomes worth it. In my house we have 3 phones with Wifi 6, and now the main PC also has a Wifi 6 adapter.. so I can take advantage of the improved speeds which help especially when everyone is doing something on the network at the same time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really mind having slower wifi speeds though, the only wifi connected device I often use is my phone. I try to hardwire everything else, its still the most reliable and consistent way to connect to the internet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,458 Posted Sunday at 03:28 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:28 AM I got a 6E setup to reduce noise on the 5GHz spectrum for devices I know can support it. Including my eventual PS5 Pro purchase which supports 7.  Anyways, 5Ghz is starting to get as crowded as 2.4GHz was. Also, I know my sats and main hub are ridiculous in power output enough to where they overlap and hopping between can be an issue, but it blows out my neighbors WiFi signals even after reducing signal strength. Link to post Share on other sites
