I want to see more content. Very entertaining and educational to teach people that every problem has a solution :)
Great video and beautiful property too!😀
Beautiful property, man!
MY DUDE! Incredibly helpful, you have no idea! I have a large property that I am trying to cover and you answered all my questions! New subscriber, Cheers!
Nice joint man. Good useful stuff too. Thanks
thanks for the video! i have a metal shop with no internet, so i might give this a try!
Great video and very helpful too. Just wanted to know what kind of speeds are you getting in all the different locations such as your work shop, garage, etc?
Wifi repeaters and extenders are two different animals from what ive read in the past.
I’m using Google mesh WiFi, but installing almost like an access points. I’m running CAT 5e to each mesh device that are the furthest away from my main router, then connecting another mesh, not hardwired, between each hardwired one, like a branch, so my wireless mesh is bouncing strong signals from the others. Essentially giving me a redundant, and strong WiFi signal all around the house, yard, garage etc
This is the BEST video I've seen on actual real life installing the Orbi system. How far is it from the Shop to the Orbi satellite you connected it to? AND, is the outdoor Orbi anything more than the normal router with a plastic box around it? Thanks, Rick
*Great Video! No one ever tells you if they can be chained for long distance or do they have to surround the router.*
Will the outdoor work with other brand mesh router? I’m wanting to get Wi-Fi signal inside my metal shop from house. I have signal with door open but loose it as soon as door is closed. We have gigaspire blast U6 in house.
Great idea. Will use to connect to my neighbour. Any info on how far you reached between two outdoor units?
Thank you for a Great video & description. Can you please clarify exactly what components you are using and how they are connected: Is your system = 1 Router with ethernet connection to your cable modem (?) + 3 Add-on Satellites wirelessly connected to your Router? I believe you have referred to your Satellites as "routers" and "extenders" but I think you mean Satellites? I have 4-Satellites in my 860 Mesh System, one wirelessly connected to the Router and the other 3 "daisy-chained"/"synched" to the one next closest and they work fine. However, I want to extend coverage by adding 2 more Satellites, but Netgear says 4 is the max you can add without degrading the wifi speed. Do you h
ave any opinion/experience with adding more than 4? I believe you said one of your "satellites"? is 100' from the router? how far is your farthest away satellite from the router and is it "synched" to one of the other satellites??
I’m working on getting Wi-Fi from my neighbor (Comcast wants $34,000 to run 850’ ) I bought the uuvee wireless bridge. I don’t have clear line of site. Working on clearing out the brush now. I’ve managed to get signal at least 400’ through it. I thought when you used routers as repeaters you lost half your signal each time it repeated. Cheers
I did it. Pretty proud of my self. Getting 30-50 mbps and not paying $65 a month for a mobile hotspot that was good for 4.8 mbps. Ubiquity msn2 nano station. Took some configuring. Uber geeks helped me remotely. In to it for about $400. Cheers
Nice but what is the range they'll extend, my shop is 200 feet from my home main router and I have a barndominium 250 feet in another direction.
What's the cost for the wifi mesh routers?
Its a good idea however you can improve on those speeds by wiring your outdoor extender or your 1st floor extender to boost wifi performance, as the backhaul uses 5ghz which will interfere with speeds in your shed area. even having one more wired router improves performance a lot
I have a question. I had the nighthawk axe11000 router at 1st. Then I purchased the orbi ax 4200. They told me that I didn't need the nighthawk anymore. Should I have kept the nighthawk? And how would I benefit from keeping it?
Wonderful content that answered my many questions. Though only a minor thing, semantical but a point nonetheless, the cameras aren't security, they're surveillance. They can act as security, if the perps take heed and leave, but security is what you do when they don't.
The cameras are only surveillance if said perp isn’t wearing a deauthorizing watch or device.
RBS50Yv2 is discontinued is their a new version? I don't see it?
Can I use the router I have now then buy one outdoor satellite then an indoor satellite in my shop that is 120' from the house?
I have a orbi myself does it work on 2 separate electrical grid or does it have to be the same electrical grid?
Hi there. I looking at getting a RBS5OY. Is that what you use? I want to add it to my RBR20 router. Is that the same as you use?
Hey Max, very helpful to me since I have a similar acreage and outbuilding. With the shop extender, are you actually traveling through 2 other extenders to get to your router or just one extender? Also, can you share your router speed vs your shop internet speed?
Hi Tom. Glad this was helpful!
The shop extender is connected to the garage extender, which then connects to the primary router. So it's just going through one extender.
Unfortunately my connection to the internet is via DSL out here, which only provides a max of 10Mbps down. I'm still waiting for Starlink dishy to show up. C'mon Elon!
I get the full 10Mbps down when connected to the primary router. Out in the shop I'm getting an average of 8Mbps. So it's definitely slower out there. But still sufficient for my needs.
5:36 I thought for sure the whitish chip on the left was on my phone screen. I was trying to scrape it off with my nail until I realized it was on your table .. SMH
Interesting solution. I was thinking about using a $100 point to point solution to get to my buildings (which gets easily to a mile) and then add a mesh router to the buildings at the other end of each point to point.
Should technically work, but didn't know if you had any experience there.
I'm afraid you were not the only one my friend. Lol
P2P Bridge systems work great! We use them for camera surveillance. You can get a pair of Ubiquiti NanoBeam NBE-5AC for around $200.
Nice video expect one thing that a lot of people get snagged on. Wheres the power source to run it all?
The sky
How far away is your shop from the house?
I am having a similar issue on my plot of land, I have to cover around 1200square meters of land with wi-fi signal. Could you tell me what the distance between the router mounted on the wall of the garage and the router mounted in the shop is?
I just went out and measured. The distance between the garage router and the shop router is almost exactly 100 feet (30.48 meters)
@@maxirish thank you so much for your answer! That's almost exactly the distance in my situation as well. Are you happy with the loading times of RUclips videos in your shop? That's probably the most data consuming service I will use
So how many routers do you have? Thats alot of DHCP servers.
What did all this cost you
Shop and Garage with Powerlines adapters would work better.
You need to get an Unifi access point.
I will look into this!
@@maxirishdid that help?
Nah no need for a unifi access point. He just wants wifi. He's a farmer not a geek. He would have been better with a mesh system. But whatever works
Yea mesh is good enough. The hardest part is finding a power source to keep it going
Hey guys I'm not trying to break the bank, I just searched for the stuff this guy has an Lord Have Mercy, this system isn't cheap. I'm just trying to cover my 5000 sq ft. I'm Not a gamer, I have the normal stuff going on like TV's laptops, Phones, and Now cameras, just trying to cover a 1 acre property with rea decent wifi strength. Can you all point me in the right direction with these mesh systems please. Thanks guys. And thanks for the upload bro I salute you on the coverage your getting. I just don't have the funds for all that orbi plus satellite equipment. Geeish.🤯
buy one 14dBi Omni directional Antenna and get rid of all these junk.
it will give you up to 0.4 miles internet coverage 🦃
Can this work with StarLink?
Hi Mike. I expect this would be compatible with Starlink, but I don't know for sure. I'll let you know once my Starlink dishy finally arrives. I've been on the waiting list for over a year now.
Those look extremely expensive, wouldn't a better solution is just a box of cat6 underground to a decent 80$ AP base for maximum full speed fiber access?
These weren’t too expensive when I installed them. I think they have doubled in price since then, like so many other things.
Running cat6 would save you money, but it would require a great deal more time and effort. Like anything, you can spend either money or time. 🙂
Wds😊
It's ok if you got heaps of money to spend
Nice but far too expensive to build a system from that. Way better options, much cheaper.
Good feedback! Let me know if you have recommendations for cheaper options. Thanks for watching.
I hope you see this, as I would love a link to cheaper options that work!
Mannn, seriously … Get the names correct for what you’re referring to 🤦🏼♂️
i hate the design. i much prefer the router with antennas it looks more cool than ufo-shaped wifi mesh
🤡
