![]() Option, which will show you all the wifi networks and sort of the signal strength, and you basically have to walk around your house with that and be like, okay, where is it strong? Prasanna Malaiyandi: you’ll have sort of the low, medium, high power levels, uh, but it takes time to fine tune and tweet these, right? You have to walk around with a wifi analyzer on your phone, right? So Apple with their, uh, iPhones, right? They ship, what is it? Airport utility, which has a wifi scan. is that even, is that configuration option even on consumer class routers? Curtis Preston: I just don’t know if, like, the stuff you’re talking about, like is. And also don’t put too many devices and don’t crank up the power all the way to high, because I know Curtis, you and I were talking about this when you’re looking at mesh, and it was like, imagine that your router can overpower your phone, your laptop, your iPad, so it’s screaming at the top of its lungs and your phone can barely even scream back at it.Īnd so that’s actually worse for your network and for airtime than actually sort of balancing out power. Now, I will tell people, so this is one of my, I’m gonna get up on my soapbox now, right? One of my rare soapbox events and tell people, a lot of times people think they need more wifi access points in their house to get coverage.Īnd to those people, I will say, plan out your network carefully. Prasanna Malaiyandi: And so it works a lot better. Prasanna Malaiyandi: And so every sort of peak, you can send more out with the five gigahertz because you’re doing it more often. ![]() You need to pump as many things as possible into, because high frequency, right, it’s more per cycle, right, than 2.4, which is less airtime, if you will. Prasanna Malaiyandi: not quite DC versus ac. Curtis Preston: So is this like DC versus ac? It’s just as your frequency goes up, the distance goes down for the same power levels, Prasanna Malaiyandi: It’s faster because it can handle more bandwidth, and also the channel is wider, so you can have more things talking at the same time. Remind me, remind me why five gertz is better again. And the other thing people don’t realize is five gigahertz, like degrades like no tomorrow Prasanna Malaiyandi: it’s crazy how much signal degrades going through drywall. It’s supposed to provide 5,500 square feet, but of course that’s, that doesn’t include drywall and two by fours, right? And I gotta say it’s much more better than what I had before, and it’s able, I’ve got two. There it is, the ASUS AX6600, which is a mesh router. Let’s see if it makes it into the camera before the cable runs. Curtis Preston: I have successfully purchased and configured for the video for the video watchers. I’m glad I talked to you about, you know, what I’m up to. But I’m glad I talked to you about my, you know, as, as is the case with many subjects. Curtis Preston: I’m a little, I feel a little ashamed that that was. ![]() Prasanna Malaiyandi: Just another topic that I know just a little bit about. Curtis Preston: I dunno what I was thinking. ![]() That’s gonna be my firewall on the same switch ![]() And I was like, yeah, I can, like, what are you talking about? And it, and it took me like a couple of seconds and I was like, oh, wait. Curtis Preston: You know what’s really funny is like I, I consider myself a pretty tech savvy guy, and when we were talking today, About what I’m, you know how I’ve, I’ve replaced a bunch of gear and I’m swapping out some stuff and moving some cables around, and then you were like, you were yelling at me. Prasanna Malaiyandi: Hey, Curtis, whatever I could do to keep you safe, you know? And a half with me, my network, rearchitect Rearchitect, engineer. Hi, and welcome to Backup Central’s Restored all podcast. On this episode of restore it all we talk about what I think is the biggest advancement in backup and recovery technology during my career. I’d be out of a job! What is dedupe, anyway, and how does it work? What are the different kinds of dedupe and does that matter? You should learn a lot about this important topic. Without dedupe there really is no disk backup market there is no cloud backup market. Without dedupe, much of what we do in backup and recovery, and disaster recovery, would simply not be possible. In our latest episode of the Backup to Basics series, we talk about what I think is the most important invention in my career: deduplication. ![]()
