This is the array that would be sooooo much better outside your building. Climb it up on the roof and do a speed test again. Love the equipment! I travel with this kind of equipment in my vehicle for Search and Rescue purposes. I mount it on an aluminum 30 foot mast supported by an industrial tripod $120.00. N2KTO
I thought I knocked my mouse when Linus' intro came on, you had me clicking through all my tabs trying to find this video again.
glad I'm not the only one... lol... I was like damn, I wasn't even touching my computer haha
9:02 scared the crap out of me . Was so chilled talking I got sleepy. But great video 👌
I wish I could like this a 1000 times .. great video!
Thank you dear,
Your video saved my life.
Same as you I connected 2 lpda 13dbi antenna,
Now my 3g speed is 12 Mbps
4g speed raised up to 22 mbps.
Earlier I was getting -2.2 Mbps from 3g
5 Mbps from 4g LTE
Everything changed
I had to like the video for the intro alone. LOL. Great video man.
Why did anyone give a thumbs down on this! WTH!! Ignorant I guess.. Great vid. I'm doing something similar with my cell reception at my place in Idaho but I'm building a tower to get my Yagi up higher
Holy shit you had me confuse for a sec. I was like, wait WTF I'm watching a linus video?
Lmao that's what i was like
I have a Mofi4500 as well. I have it mounted on a 60ft antenna tower. I have 75ft of low latency 50ohm cable coming down to a cheap Rubbermaid Tub that is painted black with ventilation and waterproof. This is mounted on the side of my brick house with CAT5 coming into the house via a wall break and to the router system indoors. I have have a 45 degree MiMo setup pointing at a tower about 4-5 miles away. I get about 25-42MBPS down and 20-35MBPS up on Verizon.
I tested this using the dish and it was awesome 👍....am planning to upgrade to yagi cos dish and heavy winds don't go well here
Winner! Dang, that setup is amazing! Those yagis seem unreal. So how are the builds now. Does Tmobile still think it is a cell phone?
Did you add a amplifier to each antenna or just connect the 25 foot cables directly to the modem?
Hi there great video.
Can you tell me how did you finally configure your Yagi's ? 45 degrees 3 feet apart ? Is it worth adding an old dish to the Yagi ? Thanks I'm really curious to know and I'm hoping you can save me the work of testing the configurations lol, just being honest lol. Thanks Goblin.
ok cool so with the new defaul linux-2 setting I can just plug any carrier sim card in this thing? It's neat.
Huh. Didnt know that about the latency at the end. Nice setup
I do know that there's not a lot of videos explaining the difference between MIFI and regular LTE cellular.. I was unaware that cell towers had MIFI on some of them. I never looked at that option until I networked with another RUclipsr who used it. But I'm already built and ready for installation of my tower. Gonna get a Yagi 15dbi antenna with some RG240 cable with suppressors and tilt that bad boy up and see what I get!
Excellent video! Quick follow-up question: if I'm shooting for a different band (let's say Band 14 or even Band 71 with the MoFi Sim7), will those Yagi models still work?
Got a similar Mofi setup with the standard 3db stick antennas using a Quectel EP06-A CAT-6 modem pulling about 100Mbps from about 2 miles of the Tmobile tower. I've all the 4 major carriers and here's what I got with the 3db stock antennas:
Tmobile - 100Mbps
ATT - 40Mbps
Verizon - 50Mbps
Sprint - 30Mbps
OMG, that MoFi tied onto the satellite dish just cracked me up. ha-ha-ha But hey that Frankenstein setup works by concentrating the signal onto the MoFi's antennas.
Longest monsterous massive YAGI's I've ever seen!
How far from the tower are you ?
Have you try to see results with ONE antenna only? I tried in my vacation home and no improvement in signal -110dbm
Is there a way to prevent the carrier from knowing how many devices are connected to the router?
Great video man, makes me excited for the possibilities. I live in the deepest part of a holler and this seems to be the solution. Any tips or resources that I can look into?
Its 100% working
After all your testing what was the best antenna orientation? Does on of them need to be 45 degrees off or not?
What SIM card did you put in the mofi
did you try one antenna vs two?
This is the mimo concept for yagi antenas?
WAS your signal clear line of sight? Trying to get to tower 2 miles away.
What's cross polarize? I can't seem to understand it. Can anyone help me
You must set 90degree angle between these yagi not parallel
Make a room into a can tanna with aluminum foil or foil backed insulation.
Have you checked your Bands (B) and set a band lock? I found with My MoFi4500 if I go to B17 I get 5 bars, but I only get about 5-8MBPS down and 3MBPS up. Whereas, if I go to B4 I only get 4 bars, but I get all the way to 42MBPS up and 35MBPS down.
Anyway, just a thought.
Bars don't count. It's UL & DL speeds & PING that mean anything about your performance.
@@georgebonorden6512 it actually does to a certain extent because bars correlates to dbm
I sometimes getting 3 bars and download speed is 25mb. Sometimes 5 bars and download speed is 10mb. My 2 cents
@@citionriver ofc its probably because of bands band 26 with full bars is gonna be slower than band 41 with 3 cmon
@@johnnyblaze9217 Im on ATT on band 12. Still trying to figure it out why speed and signal uncorrelated.
Actually if you craft a proper feed antenna for that dish you could have the best antenna you could get.
So what does something like this cost a month
Sick antennae! Reminds me of my eyebrows. Haha
I'm getting from -101db on down with my samsung 7 and Verizon 4g lte. I can get 16Mbps to about 30Mbps down, but average is 20. My issue is the upload speed. I'm lucky if I can get 4 or 5 megs up. I tried a Surecall Fusion4home with a yagi and whip and my speeds decrease. I can see the tower lights. Off property down the hill I can get almost 50Mbps down. How can I boost my upload speed?
As this video mentions, using the Mofi with a dual-antennae setup at a 45 degree angle to each other...I've read elsewhere that 2 antennae's are needed to also improve your upload speeds.
Rip 250Mbps Spectrum, Hello TMobile...
"when it goes down, everybody screwed"
yup... living in rural place (not THAT remote), but having only one tower to serve the area is problematic. Black out means instant network loss, even if your phone battery is full also useless, you can't online ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It often take about an hour or two before the tower "reboot".
Do you know if that MOFI 4500 works in Mexico ? the available Bands here for 4G are,
B4/ 1700/2100MHz
B4/1700-2100MHz
B2/1900MHz
It works just connecting the SIM cards or it needs any special configuration ?
Great video, thanks for share.
Yes I would say it will work and they are highly configurable, you shouldn’t have any issues with it on your available bands.
Good Luck 🍀
Sorry you use a unlimited data plan sim card possibly from a phone or ipad etc but you have to be wise on how you obtain the right one if you want the best price per month, don’t use regular cell phone wifi calling from other devices through your MOFI wifi setup as this will trigger that your a modern not a single device, just use WhatsApp or Viber and turn off your cell phone cell reception when your connected to your mofi wifi incase you receive a call or text or don’t connect your cell to MOFI, computer lan connection is no problem.
At least you have coax as opposed to wet string
Change the band and you’ll get better speeds then band 12 which is high traffic and most common band
Una pregunta, es posible que pueda tener cobertura 4G el una zona en donde solo tengo señal GSM
no
I popped when I heard that John Cena music! 🤣
What will be used today regarding 5G!
Today by Soth Korea with OS!
lol the intro made me giggle`like a little gir. Why did I just say that in public?
You're not using MIMO (both antenna's are in vertical polarization)
Yes he is, look at 9 mins / 9-16 One aerial vertical, the other is horizontal
@@g8ymw And look what that did for him. LTE completely bombed. Or maybe that's because he got the polarization completely opposite of what it should have been. In any case, he should have gotten fancier U-bolts that allow you to adjust the mounting angle. Some even have handy angle markings that snap into place.
Did you even watch the video? He addresses that someone would comment on this. Yikes! Also he later tests the idea (vert/horiz) and lost ground. He IS using mimo, not everyone goes 45 degrees,
@@geraldhenrickson7472 His test was clearly flawed and I pointed out the flaw. He flipped the transmit and receive polarities the wrong way. 45° mounting would have at least mitigated this to some degree (heh). Sometimes, it's worth making it "idiot-proof".
@@MikeTrieu For guys like me who may not be on the front edge of understanding how he might have reversed the polarity could you post a simple link explaining how to position transmit/receive so others might avoid a simple error. Thanks.
45 degree is the best.
Could anyone guestimate the distance from the tower to your house?
Use Google Earth
I thought LTE requires 45 and 145 polarization between the 2 antennas....
MIMO can be done via polarisation or via spatial separation.
Do you just pull a sim card from a phone or?
Yes sir, I just bought 2 Mofi 4500's and there's a SIM card slot on the side. Pull it out of your phone, pop it into the router and Bobs you're uncle ;)
Dont get the all seeing eye / anon reference back to back........those two go together like razor blades and a emo tennagers Wrist
says she likes fashion !
Low frequency means insufficient bandwidth
Hey Goblin great video
We install a ton of these and you are right the Yagi make a huge difference.
we have very little 700mhz here in Oklahoma .
I noticed that sometimes the signal can be full Bars but if the quality is bad it will make a big difference in ping and speed.
thank for the video I always enjoy seeing how other people are doing what i am doing and getting new idea.
see some of my installs facebook.com/milesoutinternet
Hey do you have any Counterparts on the Oregon Coast (near Newport or Lincoln City)??! I'd really appreciate the info and Thank you in advance ☺️
TTL is "time to live". "Live" rhymes with "give". It does not rhyme with "jive".
It is how long a packet has to live. Like a terminal cancer patient who has only 3 months left to "live".
It isn't like a news broadcast that will be going "live" in 5 minutes.
Hiking to find the tower? Just follow the big dirt road that leads to it.
unless they installed with a helicopter which in terrain like that isn't uncommon. Work with a guy and his son works for a company that does air crane installations.
That loud sound half way in the video, not cool…..
Cargo cult networking.
