Cheap Wireless Bridge 5.8Ghz 5KM 1000Mbps - 1260 

Thanks for the shoutout Morten, I like to spend £10 per month on my favourite creators via Patreon, one of them dropped off the grid and I didn't have anyone else in mind, I always wished to give you more per month due to your content and now I can, always happy to help your creative side expand just that little bit more...

It’s time to bring a shovel and flatten that mountain or move the house up the mountain 😊

Looking forward to seeing you try this setup out in My Playhouse Portugal!

I'm looking forward seeing it operating in Portugal.. It will be an awesome video as usual

I used to run a 3 hop 5Ghz back to back setup in order to get internet at our cabin. A few things learned- get the antennas up in the air and away from anything within line lf sight. Google fresnel zone- you do not want anything within your fresnel zone in order to get a good high speed stable connection. This also apply to the ground. If you decide to make an offgrid solar setup- check to see what poe voltage the equipment can run of. I had my ubiquity 24V dishes running straight from a 12V battery bank👍

This are the kind of video’s i like the most❤ can’t wait for the end solution in Portugal with an batterij and Solar panels. I have just for fun and giggles an AP with an 15w Solar panel in my backyard

I've been using a similar but much older WiFi bridge (from a different manufacturer) since 2015. It connects my apartment with my office over a distance of around 210m. It works surprisingly stable even in heavy rain or snowfall. I can achieve data rates of around 400 Mbit/s. However, for better data rates it is necessary to mount the transceivers a few meters off the ground in order to use the full 'Fresnel zone' of the electromagnetic waves.

Lowest Cost option - Direct burial/Outdoor Cat5 + 2x Mikrotik GPER (Ethernet POE repeaters) This would give you a full duplex connection to the top of the hill w/o any 5Ghz interference/loss. And can push passthough power the Mikrotik LTE router. Alternatively you could use something such as a Ubiquiti Gigabeam 60/5Ghz point to get a near 1.6-1.9gb connection (half duplex and 800mbps each direction instead of the 5Ghz solution.) I would not expect any PTP wireless bridge on 5Ghz to push over 650mbps on an 80mhz channel. And that will be subject to a ton of loss. There are options to bind multiple 5ghz channels but that would be more along the line of a multiple Ubiquiti Airfiber5xHD configured with NxN radio options... Most of the off the shelf tplink or other paired wireless bridges will not reliably push that much data over that much distance w/o a better antenna pair.

Morten, on our ships we use dual external 4G antennas to connect to the 4G modem. These are also relatively cheap and have considerable gain. We use Digi and Peplink equipment, but this will probably be out of your patreons budget 😉. Thank you for making these videos!

That's a nice setup. Years ago, I setup a Wifi Router in my Garage. To be a Wifi Repeater. Since my Wifi Signal was too weak to break through, out there. It worked pretty well. I didn't get the full 54mbps. But, it was good enough, to look things up out, there. When I was out there working on stuff. Also, I had Ethernet working on the Router too. So, I could plug in Computers, that didn't do Wifi. After a few years, of the TX summer Heat. The speed, became very slow. First, I used a Zonet Router. It had the Wifi Repeater, built in to the Firmware. Later I put DDWrt on a Linksys WRT54G Router. To give it Wifi Repeater Functions. But it didn't last very long in the heat. Now the Linksys, is below 1mbps. Not usable, any more. But, I don't go out there and work in the Garage, very much any more... Great Project:) Don

Great Video Once Again

Morten, The whole reason your laptop didn't have internet is because you statically set the IP to a network range that is not routeable at your house. You didn't need to change those 2 radios IP's to test the network: just set as DHCP without even logging into the radios web UI. 🥳🤜🤛

Cool unit ..that'll work better than what I did .. I had 700feet of cat6 ..it worked ..but forest critters constantly chewed the wire and I needed to splice it alot ..I ended up mixing cooking oil with cyan powder and spraying the wire weekly to stop the chewing. ..That worked for a few years ..Ive changed to sattelite net now so i dont need the cat6 wire anymore

I'm so mad the youtube algorithm didn't recommend me your channel in so long. It's still so awesome here.

👍👍perfekt

Hi Morten! We have a similar system from MikroTik selling at DKK 2000 + VAT. And at least at shorter distances it actually deliver close to 1 Gbps Full Duplex. This system runs on 60 GHz with a backup on 5 GHz.

Always watching what your up to 👁

The point of that extra 100Mbit lan connector could be to hook the bridge up to existing PoE wiring for a camera, without losing connection for the camera. Thoughtful detail. If you worst case get to need to dig a cable, you could also use a long network cable, and PoE.

I we seen 4G antena and Wifi bridge ap combined consume quite a bit of power could be 10 - 15w. From experience you need bigger solar panel and battery than you think in the begining. For bad weater you need oversize to maybe 150-250w panel and 1kwh of batteries to get 95% uptime over few cloudy days, it helps a lot if you turn off the units with smart relay at night when you dont need internet. That night power saving can save on system size and cost, but i guess the worst is to undersize it and have bad internet still. It may get expensive but should save labour to go solar on the hill. Hope it helps. Thanks for great videos😊.

Do the bride-devices have all the needed test-labels (CE, FCC,...) for using it in europe? I can recommend Unifi-bridges. Tried a 2.4 GHz Bride years ago. Has 45km reach. And a few years later the first gen of Wifi-AC briges, which worked great. I built some PtP-Connections between buildings with no line of sight and with huge trees and some warehouses between. Really stable in every weather-condition. I have built many PtP-connections in all this years. Started with Dlink APs and yagi-antennas. Then TP-Link with patch-antennas. Then Unifi.

This was helpful. I just setup a bridge between two houses about 85 yards apart. ISP was on the B side, wasn't getting internet on the A side. Needed to adjust LAN settings on the devices. Suggest confirming that folks are using CAT6 and not CAT5 cables, to ensure highest speeds. Switches should be gig capable.

With the booster on the mast you could run it from a car battery which you could recharge in your home. What are you using for a reciever for the internet conenction as this is just the bridge hardware?Oh and what does it use to secure the connection?

Hi Morten! Nice video as always😊 You should consider to use 2 Ubiquiti Litebeams 5AC 23 or Ubiquiti airmax ac stuff in general, because it’s not as expensive as one might think, but delivers exceptional performance😉

I have one of these myself. For anyone interested in getting one just take note because there a similar models with different specs.

dig a hole and bury the battery inside a plastic container with insulation. should protect it from the heat / cold.

Just ordered a set to test my sister lives like half a mile from me and brother is about a mile so it's going to be fun..

The LAN port is 1 Gbps, the radios however are 802.11ac dual radio dual antenna (this seems to be the typical configuration of hardware inside the radome tube). If you set them to a static frequency and set the bandwidth on both to 80 MHz they will max out at 867 Mbps in a perfect world. 10 - 650 Mbps is more realistic depending on terrain, below tree line obstructions, weather conditions, and distance. The ethernet cable can also play into this because gigabit needs all 8 conductors on the cat6 to work. this means if you have a power injector, router, network switch, that is not gigabit then everything from that device on will be throttled down to 10 / 100 Mbps. Likewise if your netword adapter in your PC is not gigabit, same throttle applies but only on your PC.

16:17 Priceless

If it works outs. I'm curious how it would work in ran. I assume they are rated for outdoor use? You mentioned it's from the US. Not sure if it'll matter for this but some stuff seems to be sensitive to Hz difference. US is I think 60Hz for power. Might cause long term issues. Then again I don't know much about power... Curious what it'll pull underload compared to 2 watts

10BASE-T1L would easily do power and data over that distance, but would naturally be 10/10. I have grown to dislike wifi bridges. Maybe sweet-talk someone at FS into providing you with their 'tactical' OM4 cable, and run that to the top? With the way we've been mistreating them, you could probably just stake it down with lawnmower robot 'guide wire nails' and let the vegetation grow over it.

Does the POE inject 24 volt into the lan socket, but the dc input only requires 12 volt?

in the uk we call those long round thingys Jubilee clips

very interesting video, thanks, I would like to know the initial speed that goes to the transmission via speedtest, thanks

was using Ubiquiti Loco AC's but found they were unstable in some weather conditions, have since upgraded to Nano Beams AC's which have been good... only thing I do not quite like about either of the 2 models is that they're all Passive POE(24v); got one of the Nano Beam's for free and one was a amazon return(on discount), had been tempted to buy generic but found that most did not have gigabit ports, limiting things to 10/100, definitely will be tempted again when 802.11ax becomes more standard

You should check the power consumption under heavy load of traffic. Looks to me that it tries to conserve energy so maybe that's why you got that very very low download speed.

Hi there, I am new to these long range wifi extenders. I want to have a Eufy camera at a farm gate that is 600 metres from the house. From my findings so far, it looks like one of these units at the farm gate with a Eufy home base connected to it. I can link one or several cameras to the Eufy Homebase. A solar panel and battery setup would be required for the homebase and wifi extender. The cameras have their own battery and solar panels. Back at the house would be the mating extender connected to the router. I understand you may not be familiar with Eufy cameras, but does this sound correct in what I hope will work?

Its always difficult to get a stable wireless connection, obviously never as good a Ethernet but that's impractical in your case lol ..guess you could run a 8wt booster they cheep enough on ebay

ho are you powering the 4g router and the ap at top of hill solar power

It looked like they support POE, so that may be an option for powering them.

I had to rewind twice at 16:20 to check I'd heard correctly..... :P

Getting microwaves to go through trees can be a problem. Personally in your situation I would use a network-over-power system like TP-link TL-PA4010, and combine the data and power requirement into a single wire. I have a 200m run like this from my cabin to the main house delivering internet and power in opposite directions. There are multiways at both ends of the wire, and an outdoor inline plug-socket in the middle and it works fine. In my experience, laying a wire across the ground is easy and quick, and will last until soome small creature decides to chew it, which is usually about 5 years. I lay it over the bushes and everything and within the next 6 months the plant growth overtakes it and it dissapears. I would advise using bright blue wire if possible, siince everything else becomes impossible to find if you need to. (I also followed kreosan's DIY 4G antenna video that gets me solid 4G signal at a distance of over 30km but thats another story)

mikrotik would have been better and built for outside use, plus there routerOS is pretty cool and would make for some good content

how to use [router mode] Wired connect to ADSL JCable Modem via WAN port and share Internet to local wireless and wired network power adapter is connected to WAN so cannot connect to modem

Your house mast was pointing down to floor slightly I think

Is your property inPortugal +200 meters long ? Because if you’re planning to put a pole or whatever on unknown land I’ll give it two days for someone to take it down.

Hi morgan Lan1= with poe (2 wire use for power) Lan2= without poe, 1Gbps use full 8 wire in lan cable. 100Mbps use 4 wire , because of that you cant use both 1G and poe at same cable.

Should have thanked Larry Jones and Tim Bucks too(Timbuktu if you need help)

230 meters... should be possible with a CAT6 ? running along a nylon wire trough some trees or poles to your house, stable connection.

4g is very unstable here, we get fiber soon, if ur house is in sight we van setup a mesh to your house direct air line

What about a HUAWEI B331 3G/4G Home Hub+HUAWEI B331 3G/4G Antenna add on

I wondoer how much more the power consumption would be while it is transmitting constant data and not just some small packages and heartbeats.

They look like PtMP devices. I don't think that in ideal conditions they will reach more than 300mbps. Ubiquiti has the LBE-5AC-GEN2, they are cheap and they should reach 300mbps easily if the freznel zone is free and there are no other antennas close, they don't use a lot of power so you can use batteries to keep them running during the night. I have a couple for a 5 Km link, it manages to get a real speed of 120mbps.... inside a city full of consumer modems using 5GHz band and there are 2 trees on the way. Also, don't test them so close to each other, some claim they can get damaged that way.

You can use ubiquiti because they are a lot more reliable

You are going to need a power connection of some kind you are going to need some form of power line.

That is similar to a video by Linus Sebastian

Buy a fresh battery for your car , and use the old battery on the mountain ..itll probably be good enough and your car will be renewed at the same time

Don't you have line of sight already from your house? I mean have you looked at a link calculator ? Because Cell towers are usually pretty tall. Maybe a little pole with the dish at the roof of your house will get you a stable connection as well. That would be much easier and cheaper then putting a solar powered battery with 4G router and those plasticky wifi bridge up there, i can hardly believe these are real weather proof. And even if you have a good 4G connection, you are still sharing bandwidth, maybe the connection wasn't the problem. I would definately do some more tests if i was you before putting up that entire setup.

You know if you buy old tech pre 2007 WiFi.. It has a stronger signal as they didn't consider the congestion issue back then. Don't go for a LFP battery winter will kill it. Lead would work. I also think you'll see around 18-20w draw peaks. Around 432w per day. So you would need a 860w of storage for the dull days. 12v la 70ah should work fine. * If you're going to use fibre, look now for the router as you may find powering it an issue. Now you need Solar, charge controller, poles, battery box, postmix concrete, Wedges (antenna angle). You have limited yourself and maybe a dipole on the other port would have given you better area home/ garden/community WiFi to use. But that can be another video. I designed WISP's back in 2004-6 and I still have some of the kit. 8db antenna, 30db parabolic, 6db flat, even some home made that was tested for 2.4miles range but we could get up to 30miles with the bigger toys. When putting anything up a hill, don't forget wind is a issue.. or a turbine? Solar is cheap where you are as well. So should be easy to find. Back in the day you could get dual stream routers, it is how we boasted speeds at a single point. Not sure if it's worth a content of trying to max the speed of the connection. Also check in town for a link. Ireland went WiFi over the cables that got broken more so. So they have a good network based on wireless tech.(rural internet/ last mile WiFi)

If you want a REALLY REALLY good P2P setup that works and no issues. Look at the Mikrotik Wireless Wire setup, you take it out of the box plug it in point it, DONE!

Put a fibre up the mountain🤣

How much?

"investigate the internal workings" Care to elaborate? 🤣😉

:)

Antennas are expensive, 5 km range repeaters are 0€ jok

first

30 feet is not 5km. Talk about bait and switch clickbait

The subject is interesting but I'm writing for something else: you probably think that putting a few notes of music in the background is nicer but it's just annoying to have to put up with this continuous repetitive background noise.

hello, I bought similar equipment, and I ran into a problem that it only works in repeater mode (when you just press the reset button, they connect, but when I go to the advanced settings-wireless operation mode setting, I see that (A) Slave works in AP mode (bridge is disabled), when I turn on the WDS Bridge mode (AP is disabled), I encounter the fact that both points lose the signal between themselves (in AP mode, the points work as a repeater and I get a range of 10-15 meters) please help me, I I don’t know what to do, maybe I’m doing something wrong, I have the same channels at two points.
