Live Speed Test, IONNA EV Event & Big Channel News!

Welcome to this week’s live stream! We have a packed agenda today, starting with some exciting changes coming to the channel. We’ll be walking through the new channel layout and how we are organizing the home automation, EV, and networking content to make it easier for you to find what you need. Read more about the channel reorganization here.

We are also breaking down the biggest takeaways from the Broadband Communities Summit that just wrapped up in Houston and what those industry trends mean for enterprise deployments—specifically for the high-throughput Wi-Fi 7 gear like the EnGenius and Ruckus access points we test here. Then, we are putting our hardware to the test with a live speed test (because what could go wrong live?).

Finally, we are previewing the big IONNA “Station Hand” event happening tomorrow! We will discuss IONNA’s massive push to build out 24/7 Rechargeries with NACS and CCS bays and how the charging experience compares to plugging in a Model 3 Highland or Rivian on other networks.

Drop your questions in the chat, and we will catch them during the Q&A!

MacBook Air M5 Wi-Fi 7 Test: Apple N1 vs Intel BE200 (EnGenius vs Ruckus)

Featured Hardware & Links

In this video, Jeff Keenan tests the all-new MacBook Air M5 featuring Apple’s custom in-house Apple N1 Wi-Fi 7 chip.

We benchmark the Apple N1 chip against two top enterprise Wi-Fi 7 access points—the EnGenius ECW536 (4×4) and the Ruckus R770 (2×2)—both configured on the 6 GHz band with 320 MHz wide channels. We also pit the MacBook Air M5 directly against a Windows PC powered by the Intel BE200 Wi-Fi 7 chipset.

Using a local OpenSpeedTest server over a 10GbE local network, we measure raw local throughput at 10 feet line-of-sight and test real-world penetration at 50 feet through multiple walls. Plus, we look at how Multi-Link Operation (MLD) across all three bands gives the MacBook Air M5 a distinct advantage for connection stability as 6 GHz signals fade.
