another thing is since that device cant be accessed via a web interface, there probably isnt a password set meaning anyone can tap into your network with that wide range, unless it has built in encryption.

@ThatLeeNoble Жыл бұрын

Looks like you'll have to run it within a guest network and/or totally separate from your own internal network. Looks risky.

@imark7777777 11 ай бұрын

Oh don't worry I was just on the website it's encrypted "Using an encryption algorithm, other wireless devices cannot search for the device's signal, so it is hidden " Sarcasm sarcasm sarcasm. Sounds like it's encrypted by not using standard Wi-Fi AKA it doesn't show up in the Wi-Fi list because most devices don't see 900/800 so it's totally secure because it's using security through obscurity! But you can have up to 4 transmitters so maybe there's a pairing process or it's just plain open? Would be definitely interesting to see a firmware dump. I would suspect there's some sort of embedded routing going on unless it's just doing a straight ethernet to hub like signal conversion.

cool test, but wifi HaLo is not new. its been out since 2017. Its just had very little adoption outside of industrial IoT needs. Still a very cool thing for long range like say zigbee or z-wave, but more bandwith. also be very careful using it in the UK as its 900mhz and that frequency band is LTE for Vodafone and O2. broadcasting in that band could get someone in trouble

@JT-po7vi 16 күн бұрын

Yes, that is right. The reason why WiFi HaLow isn't widely used commercial is due to frequency allocation. Take for example, frequency is sold/auction to Telecos in India. I only wish Government would allocate some 25mhz for public uses.

Hi, looks great and I see they even have point to multipoint kits available for purchase. That makes me wonder, how do they pair up? If I purchase a point to point kit and if someone else is using the same kit nearby will that cause any problems? How will my transmitter know to connect to my receiver and not someone else's receiver? Also their webpage says they have "weatherproof design to withstand severe weather", but I don't see any IP rating :( And judging how the power and RJ45 connectors are exposed, I really wouldn't want to use this mounted outside on a pole.

@wclifton968gameplaystutorials Жыл бұрын

Is it even legal to use the 1ghz band in the UK without an Ofcom license?

@dataterminal Жыл бұрын

Yes, kind of. Band plan 862-870 MHz is Mobile (Primary) This uses allocation from 863MHz. It is worth noting that the pre-allocated parts are for IMT. It also worth noting that 'Residual Emergency Services use in Scotland' and while "862-863 MHz" is listed for 'emergency Services use.' It doesn't say if that's for the rest of the UK and/or included in the wider use for Scotland. Licence exempt devices must follow Ofcom's IR 2030 but these are 'Short Range Devices (SRDs)' It would certainly be interesting to see them transmitting while a SDR checks how much spectrum they're using. Maximum bandwidth I can see allocated per channel is 200kHz and max power is 500mw, but as low as 1mw erp.

Hello! Purchased the EU version and speed max is 5mbits. Can you please make a video or share some instruction of how to change the region of that device. There are many ports inside like rs232 or some debug/ firmware update ports.

@StuffJason437 4 ай бұрын

The manufacturer sets the frequency based on the buyers location as to prevent getting the buyer into trouble with FCC/Ofcom and other spectrum regulators as using the wrong region will have exhausted engineer from the cell company at your door and/or authorities. This frequency cannot be changed. However, they do make a version 2 for around £150? that has greater distance and speed.

If you have a line of sight, there are many better option available (search "outdoor CPE", these things are rugged WiFi routers designed to be used outdoor that contains very powerful directive antennas to connect two fixed point together.... the less powerful devices can reach 3km and the most powerful one can reach more than 50km).

@teslacoiler Жыл бұрын

BTW.... very long range CPE aren't rugged WiFi routers with an internal powerful antenna but an extremely powerful rugged antenna with an internal WiFi router instead!!!... if you want long distance the antenna shall be big but the router remains small........ Search for example "Airgrid M2", the WiFi router is contained inside one third of the central plastic stud and all other parts is just the antenna!!! 🙂

What security implications do you think about? I understand that broadcasting your WiFi in 1KM radius isn't the smartest thing to do however it uses WPA3 and random passwords. Should be fine for your iot or guest network maybe. I also think you should really be careful where you're broadcasting your signal and maybe use Yagi antennas not to jam alarms or headsets of everybody near you.

@Pyroteq 10 ай бұрын

Dudes networking knowledge is pretty 101, but if your network security relies on security through obscurity (hoping no attackers happen to be in range to capture your encryption hash) then you're doing network security wrong. For something like this you should be using a very strong password on its own network or VLAN and ensuring all the endpoints are also patched and secure so that if someone did manage to crack the password they can't cause any damage.

I have never watched a KZbin video and instantly bought a product as quickly as I did with this HaLow Bridge Kit, and I have no regrets either, as it truly lives up to its marketing. Also, it's annoying that every Wi-Fi generation is getting shorter in range but faster, and I'd rather sacrifice the speed for distance to avoid relying on cell towers.

I know its not a popular thing to say, but you know that in a way it is deliberate that wifi usually dont go to far. Just imagine if 500 people install things like this in a city in a street. All the signals would fight for free airtime choking each others signal and slowing down. When 5000 would use it or 50000 I guaranty it they would cancel each other out. And probably a ton of othe devices that are in the spectrum. So there is method to the Wifi distance limitation madnes! And that factor is very Important if you want working Wifi in Cities!

@teslacoiler Жыл бұрын

This is the WiFi HaLow standard.... is specially designed for long distance, low power, high number of hosts and to withstand a lot of interferences. This is not intended to allow the use of a laptop in the basement but is intended for reaching multiple IoT devices (with very low bandwidth consumption) or as a very last resort if no other connection are feasible..... BTW, even "standard" WiFi can runs for tens of kilometers if proper equipments are used and if there is a line of sight.... but this requires proper outdoor devices, proper installation, proper cable management and so on.... there are nothing to do with 99% of the standard internet users!....

If it's over 100mw it probably isn't legal in the US. A question about TV's in the UK, I know you need a license, is that for the TV or to receive network TV like BBC, ITV and so on. What if you have a TV that is just to view your security system, do you need a lic? Or if you watch TV on your laptop?

No you only need a TV licence if you watch broadcast TV like anything through a TV aerial or satellite dish. You don't need one just to own a TV or to watch streaming services like Prime or Netflix or YT or you home CCTV.
