Auto for power is considered max anyway, and if you use higher than 100 you will interfere with weather radar for sure, staying on 100 or checking what radio frequencies are used in your region can be wise. The max speed is 867 Mhz so you are spot on already
For my detached garage, we buried a Cat7 outdoor-rated cable when we first moved in. But recently I ran a fiber line over the air to try getting some crazy 10Gb speeds. In a previous project, I had set up some string lights for backyard / patio lighting. The lights hang from a tension cable - so I was able to just attach the fiber to that.
I ran an aerial Cat6 line to our detached garage. (We already had overhead power going there, so what’s one more cable.) I have everything running in the garage (Ultra switch, AP, Protect cameras, Protect Floodlight, etc) from one POE++. I thought about running an outdoor fiber line out there as well, but no need for now. I have more stuff in the backyard wired up (cameras, AP, and air quality sensor) and hid those lines with the strung up garden lights.
Did you think of mounting the u7-outdoor AP to your garage instead? I bet that would have worked pretty well with the existing AP in the house. I ran fiber out to a shed that I built this year while I had the trench open. It was a fun project and its cool to think that a shed has fiber networking lol.
Good call! Unfortunately, it's not 😬. I had to buy bulk cat6 riser for indoors and couldn't justify spending even more for this 1 run. We'll see what happens 🤞
Yes the wave ap and the wave pros are amazing. We use the at our farm with support for multiple bridges. The speed is stupid fast. Three out buildings back to house crazy reach.
Before I watch this video, I'd like to thank you for sharing your content. I really enjoyed your garage video series, because it's grounded. I have 3 Synologys, all running containers. 15tb which is fully saturated. I have a ton of hdds in waiting and 2 pcs that I'm slowly building into servers..... My objective is to build a semi robust jellyfin share for my family. .. the synos don't have the guts to take on 1 additional user each. I would love to see something within legal boundaries, what you do if you share. Just My thoughts. Truly enjoy your content!
13:19 I hope you did that right, cause you said Green twice which threw me right off. You said, White Green, Green, Blue, White Blue, GREEN...as you probably know, it's white green blue, white blue, green.
Why are you so against drilling a hole the size of an ethernet cable and mounting the bridge outside the garage? Also I hope you turned down the transmit power after this testing.
Mimosa by Airspan is far better than Ubiquiti for point to point links the latest Mimosa A6 access point and the C6 receiver can negotiate a link of 1Gbps PtP. Ubiquiti devices just have a great design. That’s it. The performance is bad for indoor access points I would choose HPE Aruba or TP-Link Omada because the wireless performance on these devices is awesome
aw i hate passthru connectors lol. I think you really should have gotten outdoor rated cables tho. But Cat6a + only for me now, 10gbps at longer runs if I need it (back bone is all 10gb for me) and the shielding is a must for me as a ham too lol. All I have to say is I'm glad you used "B" much better and the honest standard for everyone but those weirdo a/v guys (I kid!)
Haha! Out of curiosity why don't you like passthru? I thought they were so awesome when I heard of them but never really looked at the pros and cons! Also, yes, B, always B 🇺🇸 😅
@@TechnoTimTinkers Passthrough is definately great for making terminating easy, however I started out with networking and making cables without passthrough, then I tried a pair maybe after a decade, the blade was awful and would either chop thru the tip of the connector (the latching tip that sticks out a tiny bit) or mangled the wires. I then also had a few pairs that were outdoor installations in wx protected ends with the rubber boots and o-rings that screwed over the rj45 on the outside of the box. Over time noticed oddites with the network, and inspecting the cable there was some corrison on the exposed ends. (All POE were in this example) But hey, no hate, if you like it and it works, then that's awesome too
Really love seeing the behind the scenes install

Love all the videos on both channels man! You've been very helpful and inspirational when dealing with my own HomeLab!
Thank you so mmuch!

2 for 1! Such a great idea!

They make armored fiber cable so hopefully you've used that. Great idea to attach it to the tension cable.
I'm waiting for Tims Technotim's top tool tips.

I might get there at some point, I have been slowly upgrading this bridge. Maybe fiber one day 😅
😲😲😲 ohhhhh. That poor AP 🤦🏻♂️
I didnt know "Linus" was making an appearance in the video. 😉🤣
Outdoor rated cat-6??? Especially in places like MN where you get extreme ranges of sun and cold.

As a note the captions are really off. I had to switch to the auto-generated captions
sorry, I will check and fix them now!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I uploaded the wrong file 🤦♂. Refresh and should be good!
@@TechnoTimTinkers thank you!
@@johnvillalovos Thank you! Seriously! I put a lot of time into them and would have never known I uploaded the wrong file had you not said something!
I know the pain of terminating network cable in the cold outdoors... I just did it for a new security camera...
No outdoor 6Ghz in usa yet sadly
Tbh, used the UISP Wave Pico for a similar setup/challenge. Works perfectly, no digging, and tbh, it's pretty economical for a 60Ghz bridge.
I might have an upgrade in my future!
@@TechnoTimTinkers it was a fun setup!

Great vdeo..worth tbe watch !

Unless you did T568B. Then it's:

Why you did not consider MoCA Network adapters?
I don't think he has coaxial cable to his garage?
That's right, no coax in the garage. Also, once we got fiber, I removed all coax cables and terminals from my entire house!

@ thanks for sharing your experience! This give great context!
I laughed too hard at you
