Great video, thanks! I appreciate you talking about the (two) Ethernet surge protectors, and the antenna surge protector. Any chance you could provide links for recommended units? Thanks!
I got www.amazon.de/Ubiquiti-Networks-ETH-sp-g2-wei%C3%9F-%C3%9Cberspannungsschutz-%C3%9Cberstrom-Schutz/dp/B079HXKRW1/ and the antenna surge protector from some Raspberry Pi supply store in the UK.
@@ChristianRauchenwald Think I figured it out. The wifi antenna connector is making contact with the receptor for the network cable connector. The emmc card on my HNTOUT is corrupted. I've managed to recover the config.jason file, but that's it. I am looking for this image version... balena-image-nebra-hnt-20210317144118. If you know what direction to point me to, I'd be grateful....thanks. Wait, it just dawned on me that you have the same hotspot. Is it poss for you to make img file, zip it, and link it to me?
does your outdoor miner syncing with the blockchain? i have 2 outdoors but its been more than a week and both are not finish syncing. does your outdoor perform well?
Only have one online right now, the second will go online soon again (had problems with the tenants of the apartment it's installed at). Both synced fine. Keep in mind the blockchain is getting bigger, so while my Nebra outdoor only took 2 days to sync the Milesight UG65 I setup a few weeks ago took around 10 days to fully sync. If you are connected to the same network as the hotspot you can just enter its IP in your browser to see the diagnostics page that will show you if everything is fine or if something's wrong.
@@ChristianRauchenwald I repeatedly entered the ip of the hotspot, unfortunately it does not load the diagnostic page. I’ve been trying to sync the hotspot with the blockchain for 14 days now. I have already reported to Nebra but have not yet received an answer. my set it up with PoE (Cat 8 Ethernet)
No. You need a hotspot from an approved manufacturer (see www.helium.com/mine#hotspots) if you want to earn HNT for proof of coverage. You can also build your own hotspot, but it would only earn for actual data transfers.
You can check the Nebra dashboard at dashboard.nebra.com/ however, the data is also not in realtime. Depending on multiple factors it will take anywhere from a few hours to multiple days until your hotspot is fully synced and visible in the explorer as "Online".
Hard to say if you "not all the way" is actually ok or not, and since my hotspots are deployed remotely I can't just go and check. BUT the hotspot is waterproof because of the sockets and that doesn't change even if the antennas don't screw all the way. If you want to be "safe" then just also wrap electrical tape around the antenna sockets.
Hello Lad, anyone can help me out? I have just received my Miner, but i wont get any power from my Extender to miner via a Cat5 cable. So i test with a 12 volt, and it lighte'd up like a christmas tree. Any reason why it wont get power signal with a cat5 from a extender? So i have to configure it? or is it already programmed? ;) Best regards, Tobias Skogen! :)
Maybe your extender doesn't supply enough power? The hotspot requires 12V 1.5A, since you already mentioned you got 12V I'd say double check that your extender also can provide at least 1.5A.
@@ChristianRauchenwald Yeah you were right, it doesn't provide 1.5A. Then i can just use the 12v and cat cable and it will be fine, or? ;) Thanks for answer btw!!
"same area" is a bit vague. Depending on how close they are too each other and how many other hotspots are in your area you either end up earning noticeably more or both hotspots end up just roughly sharing what you earn now.
Power over Ethernet is the key so you just have to place one wire to your hotspot. Also, technically you could have the hotspot still indoors and use a LMR-400 wire to only have the antenna outdoors.
Hey I’m installing this on my parents apartment terrace because they live on the 8th floor and I think it will get great signal up there. I did my research and got the right poe injector. The issue is they don’t want me running an ethernet wire across their apartment to reach the injector on the terrace. I’m thinking about getting an outdoor wifi extender or a weather proof enclosure for a regular one and plugging it into their terrace outlet and running ethernet cable from the extender to the injector. Can I do that? And if yes are there certain specifications the extender should have? Thanks and super pumped to start mining
Yes you can do that, but in my experience hotspots sync much faster when they are connected through Ethernet. If there is a power socket on the terrace you might want to consider dLAN (so router to dLAN adapter via Ethernet wire, and then terrace dLAN Adapter to hotspot). That would still require some enclosure for the dLAN adapter depending on how exposed the socket is, but would most likely over a better bandwidth and more reliable connection.
@@ChristianRauchenwald their terrace is completely enclosed in glass windows I would have to drill a hole for the wire and seal it which there not cool with or put it through a sliding glass door which would mess up the seal letting cold air in their apartment and probably squish the ethernet wire. I’m just getting an outdoor enclosure case with a decent extender and the injector in there. Now on the hunt for a decent extender that’s not $100 there’s so much crap out there
