 Hey everybody, Lance Coyke here. I just want to run you through real quick a little tech tip on Uploading videos at a much faster pace from your phone Okay, so first thing I'm gonna do I downloaded this speed test by ucla app Let's review privacy Location Only while only while using the app. That's fine Uh No, don't make phone calls. Do not allow Sorry to you. I just want to test right so what it does is it I'll try to focus here Sorry for the hand-holding it Finds your internet and your nearest hub here and it connects to it and it sees how long that takes So let's just run the test here. I'm on Wi-Fi on my phone My Wi-Fi is really good. My phone is really good. Oh, dang And our our internet's really good. So it's gigabit up gigabit down fiber. That's 1000 up 1000 down Kind of Sometimes our upload is Sometimes our uploads 60 and sometimes it's 800. I don't know These numbers are great. So 443 and 334 449 and 334 Download and upload that's really good And I probably wouldn't notice problems with this But I'm a bit of a psycho and when I have to upload videos directly from my phone I want them to go a little bit faster. So I kind of want to show you a trick to do that So you have to buy if you see this blue line here You have to buy a little cord And this one says staples on it I've been using it on my laptop here because it works for that as well But essentially a wired connection is more reliable It's faster and the you know the latency is faster, too So it's like it'll make a connection faster and it will transfer your data faster. So let's try to plug this in Right here. I just got this. So I got this because my laptop Wi-Fi driver needed updating and I didn't have internet Because I didn't have Wi-Fi on my thing. So I went to staples as you see here and I bought this RJ 45 to USB C connector and that's where my little Ethernet cord there plugs in and That blue Ethernet cord then runs all the way to my router Slash switch slash Wi-Fi satellite right here Okay, so if you have access to plugging directly into your router or the router that you're using Or a switch that is connected to the router then I highly recommend it For you know, whenever you can it'll cut your upload speeds at least in half It'll probably cut mine about in half, but we're gonna we're gonna test it and we're gonna see so Wire connection is set and you can see this little icon up here at the top I don't have the Wi-Fi signal I have so I have sound is off and then I have this little arrow thing that means I'm on my Ethernet See if we can see that here. So yeah, my Wi-Fi is Absent, it's not full Cool Good idea. Good idea. Now. Let's rerun the test And see what happens see if it looks any better Downloads a little better That's pretty significant. My parents just upgraded from 50 megabit internet. So the difference here is double Triple wait for 49 I think it was it's like three times what they had max So, you know, my Wi-Fi speeds on my phone were already really good, but these are even better Both of them. So what that means is it's gonna take me like half the time to upload my videos so Especially if I don't need to be on my phone, it's really nice to just hey, I'm gonna set it down I'm gonna plug it in here and I'm just gonna let it upload but that is a quick little networking tip to Get your videos uploaded faster the the caveats that I do want to say are there are three things that will limit your upload speed One of them is totally out of your control. It's how the server That you're uploading to accepts the connection So if you know if you're uploading to YouTube and YouTube is down, then there's nothing you can do about them Now the other thing is what we were addressing here, which is What is my local network? What is this cable and my? router able to do So you I would just recommend buying a cat six cable category six ethernet cable Or you can search for gigabit gigabit sometimes works and you'll want a router That can handle gigabit speeds not all routers can do that. So that is number one local caveat number two local caveat is if you only pay for a hundred megabit download and ten megabit upload Plugging it in is probably not going to help too much. So take this for what it's worth, but good luck
