So TP-link sent over one of their new routers. This one is wifi, six capable. I like fast internet. So do you, they claim on this box that this thing's gonna be capable of streaming eight K video. And we're one of the few places. Maybe some people have the capability these days, but we have an eight K TV over there and we haven't used it all that much to watch eight K content there. Isn't a lot of eight K content out there as it stands right now. But as a sort of test to see the capabilities of this thing, what we're gonna do is hook it up and then try to play, playback some wirelessly dreaming eight K content on YouTube on the eight K TV. That's the challenge with this particular device. That's what we're gonna do today.

Wireless 8K Video Streaming with TP-Link AX55 |
We're gonna feast our eyes on all those pixels. So this is the ax 3000 it's wifi, six capable. As I mentioned, faster, broader, unstoppable dual-band gigabit at wifi six router home shield built in there for extra security. They claim up to 3000 megabits per second. There are four antennas inside. It has a USB three port for, uh, network sharing of your files and such. What else does it say here? Yes. Eight K capable wifi, six enjoy full access to AK streaming on a five gigahertz band. Allow more applications to run at the same time as DM transmits data to multiple devices simultaneously across four streams, drastically reducing latency. It's also backward compatible with old wifi standards. So your old devices are gonna be capable of connecting things. It'll send out two separate SSIDs. So you're gonna have 2.4 gigahertz and five gigahertz, both supported, which is a problem we ran into here recently with, uh, strictly having the autoselect, uh, some of our wireless equipment audio equipment was working better on 2.4. And so we had to set up a guest network and anyway, that's built-in there supports one mesh to form a whole-home coverage. So you can extend this into a mesh system. I suppose, if you choose to, which is a nice little feature, especially for bigger spaces like this one. Oh,
Home shield I mentioned earlier security service. Keep your home network safe, cutting edge features. Yeah. Okay. So it's got some security built-in cool, 130 bucks. So the cost of wifi, six equipment, certainly, uh, becoming more affordable. Everything you need to get started in the box. You have your ethernet cable in there. You're also gonna get the unit and you're going to get the power supply to power it all up. You can see we have four separate antennas on this device. Very actually surprisingly low profile little unit, a bunch of LEDs on the front, which is something you'd expect to see, uh, on a networking device on the back. Here's that USB port that I mentioned for sharing. And then you're gonna have four lands, a dedicated power switch. Let's get this hooked up in streams of AK video real quick,
The Jack has done the impossible. He has set up a router. How many routers would you say he set up in your life? That's that? I would say maybe the second and without any, uh, real optimization or anything. I mean, this is the beauty of listening. We have a fast connection. You need a fast connection. You're still pulling in from the web. But look at this, uh, we're talking about eight K streaming, eight K 60 frames, and without a buffer, without a lag, and just, I mean, take a look. The pictures that sort of speak for themselves, everybody in here was just like, whoa, wow.
