    Greetings from Scotland, UK! Excellent video showing your results, I'm impressed! I've gone down the 4G router route also (no 5G Service here yet) and bought an external antenna to go with it - never looked back!
    I also played around with the Band Selection within the settings to see which band provides the best speeds instead of leaving it on Auto. On Auto, it doesn't always select the best performing Band, so after playing around with the settings I found that Band 3 with my network provider was the best by far! Maybe worth you checking out the bands with your provider and see if you can improve on your already impressive results :-)

    Hi Andrew - First off, thank you a TON, I've watched at least a dozen of your videos, and all have been extremely helpful! I'm thinking about going with this solution (Net Buddy Outdoor Router), and also with a HiBoost cellular booster (are you still using that in your house?). I would need to mount both the Net Buddy Router and HiBoost antennae(s) on the end of a garage/workshop that makes our overall house kind of an L-shaped situation (garage/workshop on one leg, house on the other leg). I would probably need to run the cables for each through the attic and to the house at a distance of a little over 50 feet. The cell tower (4G LTE) distance from us is just under 4 miles, and through a bunch of trees, just like at your place. My questions are:
    1. Do you see the 50+ ft cable distance being a problem (signal, POE, anything else I may have missed)?
    2. Could I get away with mounting the router and the HiBoost antennae(s) on the same side of the workshop, but on opposite eaves? They would probably be at least 10 feet apart. Or would proximity of them really even cause any signal interference (in case I need to go higher, which would move them closer together)?
    3. If desired, could I install the HiBoost box and/or a router that connects to the Net Buddy in the attic (and all of the heat/cold that comes with that)? That would reduce my 50+ ft cable(s) distance.
    Thanks for your help. No matter what I decide, I will definitely make sure you get credit for my purchases!

    • @TKCL
      @TKCL  Год назад

      I have both of mine on the same end of the house, but separation is recommended just in case there's some interference. If you have to run longer cables you can, but keep in mind the longer the cable the more signal loss that will happen. It's always recommended to keep cables as short as possible, and go to the highest quality cable you can because that does make a difference. I am still running my high boost. If you don't need the cell signal inside your shop, keep in mind you can do just the net buddy router and use Wi-Fi calling on your phone.

    I have tmobile black tower gateway as my internet provider and only get 4mgb down and barely 1 upload in rural Oklahoma. I ordered the same ASUS AC1900 and cables from your link and received those. The outdoor router is supposed to be arriving today.
    Question, do I connect the ASUS to the Tmobile gateway with the provided cable, then connect the outdoor router to the ASUS via the POE device ethernet connection?
    Thank you

    • @TKCL

      You don't use the gateway with this setup, the outdoor router takes its own Sim and has all other hardware built internally. You run a ethernet cable from the outdoor router directly to the wifi router indoors.

This internet would be used for day to day cell service, streaming for the TV (Live streaming like ESPN mostly), and remote desktop connection for working from home.

    I have the 5 g router from Net Buddy. We have been living in an RV as we build our house. It has been working OK in the RV and even getting some reception in the house from the RV. The house is metal with wood framing. We are now in the house. I moved the router here and attached the outside wave form panel antenna. My reception is worse now. Any suggestions? I have not tried moving the antenna. Would that make a difference

      Make sure the antenna is in the correct direction, that makes a huge difference. Also try swapping around the antenna connections on the router. Lastly make 100 percent sure you connected the outside antenna to the proper ports on the router. People mistakenly connect them to the 2.4 and 5ghz wifi antenna ports.

    Wow, Impressive results indeed!
    Not sure if this is just simply a product demo on your part? However if not there are a number of significant undesirable disadvantages too an external integrated device package design like this due to placing the active (DC powered) RAN (radio access network) components outdoors in the elements as excessive heat, moisture and direct exposure to gamma rays (yes it is a BIG deal) will dramatically decrease the MTBF (mean time between failures) too not very much time at all, if not built to the absolute highest UL / CE / Mil Spec engineering standards and certifications vers a cozy chill UPS protected life in your Yetty Cooler of a home, lol!
    Also, your 4x4 passive (non powered) 100% weather sealed fractal panel array antenna or even the previous LPDA (log periodic dipol array) antennas are immune to all of these factors due to not containing any active components at all.
    Even more undesirable in your case is having your LAN split into two separate isolated networks which is no longer even a LAN as you will not be able to communicate with the devices between the two building from each other, ie your phone or computer will not be able to "see" any devices in the shop from the house.
    Last but not least no need to pay for another data SIM card.
    Now with all that said this may in fact be an ideal solution for a "greenfield" installation where someone is starting from scratch and desires an all in one solution to compete with T-Mobile home internet product @ $50 per month ☆IF☆ you have coverage in your area in all cases.
    Imho a far more desirable configuration would consist of ...
    a.co/d/79OCULe
    a.co/d/2NCiXlJ
    a.co/d/8hvY8KQ
    All in for a ~$100 and some digging which you said you were going to do anyway too run a solar / backup power feed.
    Also this specific access point in particular would be your best long term investment as it is the absolute state of the art in performance, range and management software. Would also future proof you when you Eventually .... get fiber ISP service.

      The one bad thing about residencial fiber is although it's fast and reliable is that when it gets damaged it could take days to restore after a failure due to the lack of redundancy. So yeah wireless backup is something you want to keep around on standby.
      But other than that and more bandwidth everything else is exactly the same, so don't let that keep you from connecting your buildings together with 1Gig full duplex hardwired ethernet as it doesn't get any better than that for speed, reliability and flexibility.
