April, I just caught the video Justin and you did on your biography right after watching this one. If I wasn't completely impressed with you before, I am now, more than ever! If I thought I was getting choked up at your closing waves (read my comment below👇). I had a joyful tear in my eyes the whole video. I just knew you were truly blessed and I'm am so proud of you, and to have been there watching your videos from the beginnings this has given me a even better respect for your journey! I just love your parents, and the support they give you is incredibly comforting. It makes me want to just order something from you knowing your mother would have a hand in me receiving it. 👍 One suggestion if I may, I love your decimal Conversion Charts idea and was thinking how a Drill-bit to Tap-size chart may be a winner for you as well. I can't tell you how much time I've spent looking for the correct drill-bit size for a bolt I need to tap a hole for, and with your decimal Conversion Chart next to it that would take all the guesswork and time out of the process. Thanks again for all you do and may your life continue to be filled with blessings 🙏

“Wired backhaul” is a key phrase. I installed a Netgear mesh system using the Ethernet cables laid when I built the house. Finally have WiFi in the workshop off my garage. WiFi calling works everywhere now - great since my house is in a cell coverage hole.

I don't know about Netgear's product line but since your workshop is on your property, at least Ubiquiti would've had a solution to share your existing internet (no need for 4G) to your workshop wirelessly: Ubiquiti NanoBeam is an example. It has around 10 km range. Basically you buy two of them ("antennas") and you point them straight at each other (they need line of sight) and the result is that they allow you to bridge these separate networks wirelessly. Basically the topology looks like this: your main router -> nanobeam -> (distance between your house and workshop) -> nanobeam -> wifi access point in your workshop.

I know wireless is all the rage, but call me old school. That Orbi setup is $1,300. She's a maker. Unless the run from her house to the shop and then from the house to the outdoor party space is more than 100 meters, she could have buried Cat 5 in conduit from the gateway in her house to the respective structures, then set up off-the-shelf wireless routers at those locations. If I recall correctly, she was already trenching for utilities. Regardless of the wireless technology, she's still limited to the fastest up/down speeds allowed by her ISP. If they're running fiber, great, but 100mbs otherwise.

Yep, they're solid systems, been using them for years. 2 nanobeams are 200 bucks and they're managed outside of unifi so you don't need to make that investment either. They just work. The only caution is to get outdoor rated cat 6. We just use a lot of long length patch cables with surge suppressors at each antenna.

FYI, just after the 4min mark, right as you say "here are a few tips", you show a hard bend in your blue ethernet cable which is a huge no-no. A basic tester may still show the cable as fine, but higher frequencies (i.e. higher speeds) will have issues, and as you try to transfer more at once you'll start noticing issues due to packet loss. Over time (due to temperature changes and things shifting, etc) it'll likely get worse, until it is no longer able to connect at 1000base-T (gigabit) speeds to the router and drops to 100base-T.

Thanks April for the great solutions. I must say those are crazy fast speeds, even the one setup with the SIM card. I live Off-Grid in northern Washington and I'm the only one up on this mountain with internet and the speeds are close to the puny ones you had before your upgrade . I'm using a system similar to the one @Joonas Loppi is talking about in the comments below to receive my internet service. My router however is a Netgear 5G in my cabin and it sends a great signal even to my Airstream trailer that's over a 100 feet away up the hill. I would also like to agree with @Codl Faaic below in the comments, your closing wave and smile is mesmerizing and tends to get me kinda choked up with emotion in every video.

One other option is if you're running a new power cable to the new space, plan ahead and have an extra wire in the cable or even run a second (small) power cable so you'll have a dedicated circuit to use Homeplug adapters on, allowing them to perform the best they can. Might be a good choice if the run is too long for Ethernet or digging a second trench to maintain separation would be too much work.

Others may have mentioned this, but there are three things you should also do, as soon as your equipment is installed. 1. Update the firmware on the devices, by downloading from the manufacturer’s website (to get the latest protection against potential exploits and perhaps greater performance). 2. Log-in as ‘Administrator’ on each device and change the admin password from that set by the manufacturer (assuming they did anyway). 3. Enable and use password protection for the WiFi signal(s) on both ‘bands’ (usually, 2.4 and 5 GHz). All this should ensure a secure WiFi setup, especially in commercially sensitive environments. 👍👍

Off Topic - This video is the first time I've actually SEEN the "Thanks" button! I heard other channels talking about it, and telling us this button is in the Title Line (or whatever it's called!) the same line that has the thumbs up button. However, I've never had it appear in any of the videos I watch. I always thought it was strange that I didn't have the option. Maybe it's just my phone? I kinda thought... But it shouldn't be that reason, as I do have a newer phone. Ok, I'm just rambling at this point! I just wanted to point it out that YOUR video was the 1st to show it, at least for me! And how appropriate that it started showing up on the video about internet connections!! Ha! Nice! 👍 Also- Thanks for sharing this video info! For me - it's a lack of information about this subject that has kept me from upgrading my connection! I'll definitely be looking into this system! Your tips on the terrain are very suitable for me as I also live in The Hill Country, except about 100 miles North of you. My terrain is exactly the same as yours - very rocky, and hardly any top soil ! And I had no idea about running it next to electric lines. Thank You SO MUCH April ! ❤

If your microwave is interfering with your wifi, either the grounding to that outlet (or in your house is messed up), the microwave is leaking or you have placed your access point like right on top of your microwave. There is a faraday cage built into your microwave that is tied to the grounding system for your electrical power. Also the door of the microwave being dirty can actually "make a hole" in the faraday cage.

The proper and (SECURE) Way is to trench laying moisture resistant conduit between your start and end points. Than running a CAT6 cables and terminating between points of origin and final destination. WIRELESS INTERNET CAN always be Comperamised Also has a degradation factor that many are not aware of or understand.

"Don't hide your router" But I want going to put it in my metal filing cabinet. 😁 Actually, that would work for me because I have the wifi disabled and it will free space on top of the filing cabinet. The downside is that I would not be able to just glance over and see if the connected light turned orange. But I'll probably think of something different like a couple 1 X 4s and a sheet of plywood to make a shelf.

@n2ocharged
@n2ocharged 2 года назад
Alan, If you're looking to run cabling in your home for network access points, you're probably going to have to cut open some walls at some point to get the cabling between the floors. If you're trying to go outside, it's a very simple process, you cut a hole in the side of the house (I would recommend using conduit between building structures to futureproof your installation, but there are some direct bury cables out there). I have to run cabling to 2 floors in my house but the only way I'm going to be able to do it is to open an entire wall (top to bottom, not side to side) on the second floor. That will allow me access to the attic as well as the first floor where I need to run the cabling. Other projects you may want to consider while doing this is to "soundproof" your rooms between the walls. I found a Rockwool insulation (Safe 'n Sound) for sound damping between bedrooms. You may also want to consider running enough network cable to install network outlets in each room. To be honest, the Cat7 cable is "overkill" for the application, however; It does offer shielding from electrical signals. Again, I would run all of it in a conduit between structures, just make sure you waterproof the connections and fireproof the conduit (if required by local codes).
@cleokey
@cleokey 2 года назад

I think you could just run a burial cat6 cable from your router in your house out to a router in your shop and that's going to be pretty much perfect signal. I think the limit is hundreds of feet. Anything that's relying on over the air Wi-Fi is not going to be good. Plus it's basically free just to add another router most people have one laying around just buy a thousand feet of CAT5 or cat6 burial cable make your own connections they're pretty cheap just bury a few inches under the ground out to the shop. Now I could speculate there could be some hazard of lightning catching this and bringing it back into the house.

In this case, unless your goal is to make an ad, a point to point bridge between the house and shop would make more sense. Depending on the layout (what the sightlines are between structures) you could run bridges between the house outdoor kitchen shop. Also, the max distance for CAT6 is 300-350'. There are ways to go further but at that point you might as well run fiber.

One can buy different type-cat wifi lines from Amazon. Yes most people do not know this but cat 5 is the slowest,one can get up to cat 9 from Amazon, maybe higher now if one needs it..

I always showed my Viewers what I did, how I did it and what I used for each project. In this one, I showed how I solved my wifi problems in hopes it may help them. Thanks for watching.

looks like a great system, but if the connection to your house from your ISP isn't great, none of this will do you any good. like trying to drive a corvette with no wheels on it.

You'd be better off running fiberglass to each area. Much better distance coverage, and no worries about a lightning strike running through the ground and frying your system.... also, you could have done a lot of this with outdoor waps...

April, You always talk and do jobs as if it is effortless. I have to say it is quite frustrating for me. Especially when I can watch you tube videos to show me how to do things but I am not successful. What age were you able to do most everything you do?

April, as much as I enjoy your videos and I do understand the need to monetize your content, your videos are starting to look like one big advertisement for one product/service after another. Don't spoil your channel by becoming a slave to the advertisers all for the sake of a few bucks.

I monetized my channel because this is not just a weekend hobby but my business and livelihood. Everyone has bills and obligations. I also have employees to pay. If I owned a successful cafe, would you begrudge me what I made? If my channel no longer suits you then no hard feelings.

Sorry, but CAT7 is a waste. CAT6 is good for 10 gigabits up to 50 meters feet. CAT6a is good for 10 gigabits up to 100 meters. CAT7 is good for 10 gigabits up to 100 meters. I mean, for a relatively short run, I GUESS. But for anything close to a max length run, you're talking a 50% markup at least.
