What internet type are you using? Fiber? Starlink? DSL? Cable? Cellular? Dial-up? 🤔 Also in case you are wondering I did change our public ip address after making this video so the one shown is no longer associated 👌.

Spray Foam has changed the world. God Bless

@2020Tundra 3 месяца назад

Congrats on getting that network set up and working 👍 A little over 2 years ago, our local electric coop began supplying it’s customers with fiber and I was able to go from super slow AT&T 24mbps to 1gbps Fiber. It’s been so awesome having blazing fast, reliable internet that actually costs LESS than I was paying for snail-slow unreliable AT&T.

@horsekid98367 3 месяца назад

Couple tips, as a low voltage guy. 1. Adjust the frequencies the different links are using, each set on a different spectrum range, low for 1, high for the other. 2. Get a better firewall/router, I'd move it to the house vs at the pump house. 3. Cable Matters patch panels, keystones, nave point racks are all great cost effective equipment for data cabling. 4. For a NAS, Raid is what you need for redundancy. We've done a nanobeam link across a international airport (slow, but it worked). And saturated a pair of beams with 24 cameras, through a tree, it sorta worked 😀. Your doing better then alot of experts!

@WelkerFarms 3 месяца назад

Appreciate it! I would move the router to a house but that is the beginning of the network as the fiber ends at that pump house. I haven't figured out a different way to setup a dhcp down stream. Is that possible? My raid is setup as SHR. Nice work on that link!

@teno2tube 3 месяца назад

@@WelkerFarms DHCP does not need to be "at the beginning" (that's not really a thing in networks anyway, oversimplifying a bit but location only really matters for latency). You can just set up the router in your house and manage the network from there including setting up the DHCP (ubiquiti has nice options, but your old Synology would work the same). You will just need to make sure you give the proper IP addresses to the Airfibers from the pump house to yours so that the initial link from the pump house to your router works. From that point everything to the yard/etc is the same.

@WelkerFarms 3 месяца назад

@@teno2tube I think my original reasoning was to keep all the devices downstream the router so they would be protected by the firewall. But if that isn't an issue I would love to move it to my home. For network management purposes I have thought about a Ubiquiti console. Would be great to have access to all the unifi and PtP devices without having to run the software on a pc.

@Christofo 3 месяца назад

@@WelkerFarms That Synology router you have isn't terrible. You won't be able to manage the PtP stuff from the Unifi Network app, kind of annoying - just your AP's and gateway. You need to setup UISP for the PtP stuff, maybe you already know this though! But yeah, you could move the router from the pump house to your house but imo it will complicate managing the ptp links before the router for you. Theres nothing really wrong with how you have it now.

@teno2tube 3 месяца назад

@@WelkerFarms You'll still have the router in your house "in front" of everything that your family is using as all the internet traffic goes through it, so that would still be covered (for the safety of the airfibers/etc anyway the most crucial thing is to keep the auto-updating on so you don't miss security patches). The Ubiquiti routers like their dream machines are nice if a bit expensive, but if you are not trying to also integrate their security cameras and wifi access points into single maintenance interface then it's also really not needed as a first step, you can still upgrade down the road and work with the Synology router for now.

Great upgrade Nick. I just worked with ubiquiti equipment at work today and here you are using them on the farm. I agree they make setup easy on most of their equipment. I used some wired switch's for an ad hoc network in a campus setting but their wireless is really good. Nice Job and thanks for sharing. I had to edit I forgot to answer your pinned question. We have cable internet here at home. Just did a speed test 505mbps down and 20 up. The provider puts an emphasis on download I think. I was very impressed with your speeds for what you are provided and am jealous of your upload speeds. Good thing I don't have a RU-vid channel. LOL Cheers

@jamesbitb 3 месяца назад

Been using a lot of Ubiquiti gear for many years, mostly UniFi equipment and worth the investment. The AirFiber 60GHZ and nano beams are awesome and exactly the right application here. Since you have so little competition for those the frequencies they use you are going to see great speeds. Make sure you go back and add a ethernet surge protector (ETH-SP-G2), keep the air fibers if hit by lightning from frying everything else in the house, pump house, shop. I suggest in both you and legs arms homes run 1 AP per floor, you can get away with one for the whole home. However, when you add more devices speeds per device drop off fast. Also consider an outdoor AP if you want more coverage outside the building for cameras, etc. The metal roof and spray foam will definitely affect the overall coverage in the yard. Friends house was that way, 20 feet away from his house the signal dropped to unusable, now have a UAP-AC-M outside and his remote cameras are happy.

Starlink is an amazing option for those who can't get access to fiber in rural areas, upgraded my parents farm to that last summer and it's amazing. Not quite as good as Fiber but if you're other option is bad cell towers, Starlink is totally worth it. Any reliable high speed internet these days is really useful. Awesome video though and cool to see how you've setup your whole farm using the system. Gives me some ideas for our family farm beside trenching in Cat6 cable underground between building!

If you aren't already doing so, I'd recommend running multiple unique IP subnets (segments) per household.
