Helium Woes Getting Mobile Hotspots Up and Running 

Well this 436H is a beast! I wasn’t sure what to put where. But the antenna arrives tomorrow.

No problem 👍

It was my cables. Keeping them to standard cat-6 with no ribbons and keeping the length short made a difference.

How'd you make deals with malls? I have enough problems just getting my friend to put it in his business.

Man, you are crushing it. Awesome!

@@DoItJustinKaceI went and talk to the maintenance guys first and then most of the time they put me in touch with the manager of the mall. I pay rent for that spot on the roof but they also give me internnet access . I pay a set monthly fee for the spot on the roof and the Coffee shops I just hit the small independent ones and talk to the owners personally. A few of them I also gave them a phone with the SIM card to be able to use the phone for free .thats what I was saying about the iPhones were passing data thru the cbrs till they turned them off

You need to go to the planner on HeliumMobile and input your information. It will tell you then. However, things are changing every time they release a new HIP. So who knows what you put in today will be correct in two weeks.

Oh. Good idea.

No problem 😊

You can see them in the recent video I made. Just check it out. I show all of the three devices and what they are now getting. Unfortunately I made a mistake with the crypto ticker. Sorry about that.

i just got it up so not much data! it's more area coverage.

Yep. Just moved mine. -> manage -> update installation.

yeah whats up with that

Yeah and if you read the 436h installation manual it clearly says it will “only support a single 4-port CBRS antenna (carrier aggregation mode)”. This is not confusing at all lol

Yep. And changed the link in the prior video after doing more research. Thanks. I don't get the whole 2-port thing. It's confusing as hell and only admins on discord seem to know about it. They says they are going to "enable" then in the future. But when?

Was just reading discord history and saw more than once where the admins were saying yes only 2 ports are currently configured for helium and confirmed to purchase the 2-port Justin showed us. They also said it’s recommended to get the 4-port as it will still work and you will be future proofed in the event Helium enables all 4 ports. Either one will work though. Guess it’s up to you how much money you want to spend since the 4 port is a couple hundred dollars more.

@@inskrootable thank you for the clarification.

You're so welcome!

Bedt? Whats that?

Will do that tomorrow.

It was my cable. Needed less cable length and needs to be cat6.

More like 130,000 mobile daily. But we’ll see. Numbers are dropping fast!

@@DoItJustinKace Wow, that's crazy good. Even at 100,000/day, that's awesome. Since I already have the gateway that currently working with the CBRS FreedomFi radio, will probably go ahead and order the Baicells NOVA 430H. Currently listed for $1349 on Helium Deploy. Know of a better deal for one?

Looks like you're recommending the 436H CBRS. Let me check on the pricing for it

@@cryptomanna4941 I don’t recommend it if it doesn’t work for you. But I’m about to try it.

POE+ which is 30w

@@DoItJustinKace thank you. Good videos!

Yes, only overlapping is affected. However, if you have one pointing north, and one pointing south, the area around the CBRSs still has a signal and is still affected so you will have overlapping signals.

@@DoItJustinKace yeah but it would be only in those first couple hex. Like an onion. The first layer is affected but not the other layers. Right?

is that best route with 2 then.... facing opposite direction?@@Unboxedonyt

At the moment I haven't been able to connect to it. So maybe there are.

If you have a helium mobile plan, you are supposed to be able to connect to your hotspot with that login info. You can check on the helium builder and it will tell you data usage. @@DoItJustinKace

Oh yea. Not good. Mine said both mine said gigabit, but I did a switch out to test, and they were. The POE+ is usually gigibit.

It was the ribbon cable. But yeah.

Yeah, it's gone down in just a week.

Really? What are their names? I assume these are CBRS?

@@DoItJustinKace yea 2 baicells outdoor non pro…. Mythical Walnut Gorilla. Bought 2nd one bout month ago. Was collecting 15-19k alone now 15k with 2

Well I'd move from CAT5 to CAT6, but yeah, your internet plan could be the issue. You want to be above 100 mbps.

internet essential plus from xfinity is suitable download speed... must be the plus plan

Update to Cat6 but need 100M Up/10M Down/>50ms response to get full rewards. How many cells covered is Helium Geek showing? Compare that to what the planner is showing to see what rough rewards should be..

@@DoItJustinKace Finally made all changes (all green) and Im receiving 2400 mobile now. Still not what planner estimated, but Im ok with it. I noticed yours dropped to 2400, what happened ?

Yeah. Support it always 5 days behind. Frustrating.

Take a look at xnet and other companies in the market. They don't feel the same as you. Companies pivot all the time. But you're welcome to your opinion.

@@DoItJustinKacehe is coming from where he made a crap load of money and now wants to make more with the wifi. I’m so tired of these hips. Hip means a few people are upset that someone has a great setup and making lots of iot mobile etc and they do t like it so they bring in hips to try and take away from the person that worked hard for there setup and they are mad and want to try and change it to fit there wants. Also 90 percent of those WiFi’s indoor are being put at people house that has little value to the network….

Same here, I got 10 outdoor WiFi because I learned from helium the past 3,5 years 😅

Idk, I mean CBRS seems to be way more beneficial to the network than a WFI hotspot. They really need to fix CBRS asap.

You guys aren't getting it. CBRS is unusable. They tried to make it work, but it'll probably take another 2 - 3 years before it'll happen. Me voting for this HIP-101 actually hurts me. But I believe in Helium long term. And yes @DoItJustinKase, you're exactly right, companies pivot all the time, hence why I voted to give more rewards to WiFi hotspots even though it hurts me in the short-term

Your last speedtest was 134.61 MBPS. Once more happen your average will jump up. Today it’s shows 96 average.

Yeah, but I have to upgrade my subscription to see anything else.

@@DoItJustinKaceoh okay. I have subscriptions. You’re fine. Just need more speed test to process and the average will keep going.

K

Yep. Dropping now.

Yeah. I am. Got busy with life and a new job and all that crap. Should have been playing attention.

Not too late… just getting warmed up. The long game is the better game.
