Trying  

🤭🤭🤭

I gotta be honest I didn't see many 5G Wi-Fi 6 capable portable routers. Might look into it some day when my D-link DWR 2101 gives up 😀. I will make a note of this

@@RadOo - All the GL-iNet units that I’m aware of take a data dongle, so you could do 5G on most of them. Not all the routers do wifi 6, but they do some that do it. If you have a specific need, I’ve found them to be quite responsive. I asked them a question about antennas and the top guy at the company wrote back with the answer.

This. Also, he said his phone is using a Verizon plan and the EIOT SIM has access to AT&T and T-Mobile. I suspect these networks simply have better coverage in the area he's testing.

They may be the same towers but some devices do not support the same frequencies. Most devices are built in Asia and don't fully support our wonky US bands. Also, ATT, Verizon and T-Mobile run on different bands EIOT actually has a card that supports all three carriers, but you need a device that covers all the bands for all 3 carriers. For data devices that is a tall order.

3g is gone

The tower end may be the same, but the radio on your end can be vastly different. the one in the phone will be optimised for minimal size and power consumption. the one in the router will be optimised for performance. bigger antenna, bigger and better filters, perhaps multiple transceivers for separate bands, more power available for more amplifier stages. I haven't done any A-B testing in the 4g era, but I 'borrowed' an industrial 3g modem from work and took it to our cabin. you could just make a phone call if you stood in the right spot and held your tounge at just the right angle, dropouts were common. the modem was 3 times the size of my phone and ran from an external 12v supply. it also cost about a grand. and even in a very fringe area came pretty damn close to theoretical maximum throughput, using the same sim card from the same spot on the porch. turns out if you build a modem to just be a really good RF modem, It performs orders of magnitude better than the domestic thinnest lightest cheapest swiss army knife that is a smartphone. as anyone who has played around with radio gear will know, there is a level of arcane art to designing the hardware. there is a reason Motorola can charge thousands for a walkie talkie where as you can get one from the sports store for fifty bucks. same band, same power, but one will soundly thrash the other in range and clarity.

@@yacoboy Yeah , absolutely they could be different cell towers… I just didn’t want people thinking that buying a mobile 4G (or 5G) broadband router would magically improve their data speeds or their signal.

it's not that complicated. ventilation is as easy as a fan and a hose. it's dug into sandstone. it has arches. it's fine.

Sandstone like this stays stable as long as you arch the ceiling a little and maintain the humidity, there are some 100+ year old tunnels in the area that are still stable. We have three entrances that provide some natural cross ventilation, and a powered fan in one area. I have a video somewhere on air quality measurements, we haven't seen any concerning issues!

that is odd from a security standpoint

run a tower mapping app and send that in ... odd that cell networks would route that traffic

@@unmanaged Buy an EIOT CLUB trial SIM and learn.

@@unmanaged with EIOTCLUB you're basically Roaming all the time, so that's why it's been identified under Hong Kong.

Where else do you get your geodesic space domes?

@@ek8710 touché

I think it should be open to any SIM/carrier. Haven't tested these models but freely available modems like what I have (D-Link DWR 2101) has worked with all local carriers I have available.

Mostly electric demolition hammers (like a small jackhammer). I've also used an angle grinder but it's kind of sketchy!

leave mAh alone bro

you, good sir, are a scholar and a gentleman 🎩👓🥂🚬🤝🧐

Count me in. It's always been a pet peeve of mine. My favorite is the abbreviation "kmAh" or kilomilliamp hour. I cringe when I see statements like "Hey, check out this 20 kmAh battery bank that's on sale" on deal fourms, etc.

Ok but what bout when your dealing with little battery packs like 450 mah? Saying .45 ah isn't much better than 5000mah

@@BenWilsonJewelry try to answer your own question, man

how you figured out that was the reason they disconnected you?

@@Pootie_Tang they weren't afraid to say it.

An internet service provider having access to a privately owned camera? Why and how? Not doubting you but that's really weird. Edited because you answered the question of how you knew already.

@@rubenskiii it's actually not weird. If you're connected to the internet, privacy is a farce. Even your car mines and sells your data.

@@DirtyPlumbus ok, man, me being an IT professional, although not specifically a cyber security one, but still, I ask you for any proves or specific details of your story (which I doubt I'll get from you to be honest), or I'll call a massive BS on this one.

Not really this is totally different and has those rediculous side burns that need to go.

@@BurkenProductions It's a standing height underground tunnel on RU-vid so yeah, I know a bar is a bit different to a bunker and an in-progress garage but c'mon it's still impressive.

which probably works fine in the city to update your instagram feed, but not so much out in the sticks. your not paying for data throughput, your paying for redundancy. vastly more options on what carrier and frequencies are available. you have much better odds of being able to see some kind of connection wherever you are. also, the use case for such things does not need a whole pile of data. your not sending multi megabyte photos or streaming in HD, your more likley to be sending back a few packets here and there with a bit of status information. the security camera is probably the highest data use, and even then its only going to be for short bursts when the camera lets you know 'hey, I see something"

@@arjovenzia So does 3 different SIMs I can get for the same price as 1 EIOTCLUB. I can't speak for US since I am in Czech Republic, but in general, it's just easier to have 3 SIMs from all carriers for the same price and not to worry about Chinese IP.
