MrD hilps we aren’t trolls we can just design a more efficient network. He coulda just used a Cisco small business router that could have handled all of that in way less space but I guess CLI configuration takes actual know how. I guess with daddy’s money I would sprinkle in some excess stuff too. It would be fun and look sexier.

[@Neo8019]

I admire his enthusiasm for his setup. It is not something you will find in an average home. But as some people commented, there are some flaws in the setup. 1. An attic, due to temperature fluctuations is not the best place for a system like that. 2. That is not a server rack. There is no way a server will fit in that rack. It's a Telco rack. 3. Drilling it the stack is a bad idea and against building regs. 4. In the UK it is illegal to sell internet service without a license and with most private ISP contracts you will be violating the Customer Agreement for Residential Service. 5. Since you have a firewall etc, you probably have logs of the traffic which could be a breach of the new GDPR, if you don't keep any logs then try and prove that it was someone else that did some illegal activities on your internet line and not you. Since you are the customer of the main line, you will be the first in line to get into trouble. 6. Have you tested that UPS, I can't imagine it will survive more than 40 minutes. Of course, we all start somewhere and learn with time as would this guy. I see IT pros in big companies making big mistakes and they have been working for over 20 years. But this setup looks clean with colour coded cables and everything is labeled. So even if I have put some negative points in this comment, keep it up and keep learning.

[@boldswede1280]

isp's who sell this solution often offer connectivity to a customer to extend their network and they deal with all the legal stuff. It's also pretty easy and not massively regulated point to point wifi. I'd personally call that rack a coms rack or simply the switch. It's certainly not telco, it's IT networking/switching. The firewall will be a pass through but there for things like ddos and lock downs if malware is found to be operating on the network i'd imagine. If not, just a fancy router and load balance. He won't have access to it if it's network owned. Yes the usp is pap but will only need to power the WiFi and possibly a switch to maintain network connectivity depending on setup. The isp is offering internet connectivity which has no line service agreement it doesn't matter if there's a power cut. If it goes down, it goes down just like a normal dsl service there is no guarantee on up time..... You can find flaws in every setup but unless you know both industry's well (telco and IT), someone better educated will always correct you on how you're misinformed and basically wrong. Telco boys always put IT managers straight as they have experience of both sides of the network and a wider knowledge base as standard. Gbps please....i'm talking real data transfer - Tbps fibre links. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM bitch.

I used to work for a WISP for more than two years, so I'm looking forward to seeing how you do it :) By the way, don't underestimate that MikroTik router, it could run your entire WISP. My entire home network is based on MikroTik equipment (an RB1200 as the main router, an RB912UAG-5HPnD for the main wifi and LTE backup using a miniPCIe Huawei LTE modem, and a hAP AC lite a guest router and a switch) and it's an amazing value for money. Maybe not as nice as the UniFi architecture, but way cheaper and more powerful.

[@Insane98]

Realy, REALY nice! But not detailed tho. Where is the info about the satelite dishes, and how you manage to send certain speeds to customers. And why would people prefer you over a normal ISP? The satelite dish is couple of 100 pounds alone. A normal ISP would be way under that amount of money.

[@thedoode22]

Dennis he lives in a somewhat rural area where fibre isn’t available to everyone; this WISP stuff will continue to make him money until VM/BT etc roll in and lay down fibre. This area isn’t particularly rural so it’ll happen fairly soon I’d imagine, then his clients will leave in an instant and he’ll be left to remove the dishes from their houses and sell them. This is supposedly how he can afford this new house

[@Insane98]

So in one or two years his whole ISP is worthless? lmfao.

[@thedoode22]

If I had to hazard a guess, yes. And if not within the next 2 years it will eventually happen. Hope he has a Plan B

[@Insane98]

thedoode22 im pretty sure he has a backup plan in the work or something. Otherwise he has to do some more wedding video’s 😝

[@SuperKimjong]

Even giving him the benefit of the doubt that he does already have 30 clients (I doubt it, it's currently all running on his personal line and provided by another WISP in the area) he still would only have about 18k turnover. The dishes alone are in the 4k mark, then you've got to add the cost of everything in the comms cabinet and that's before the cost of a lease line - not exactly cheap. All in this isn't a highly profitable business. Fun for a hobby but you'd need a few 100 customers before it starts to finance houses and Porsches.

And what if you see that data will you go at his home and try accessing his wifi? Will you try to access his router by accessing the ip by internet? hahah. Meltdown and spectre are more to be used phisically. I guess it’s easier to enter his home and hack what you want but it’s still stupid...

[@MIGI28]

Jessie James No my friend thats old hacking. Ok go to his house and hack everything... He doesn’t have security so it will be fine and police will not care. Hacking remotely a router? that’s old school the unifi security gateway is very top at security... If someone manages to hack it all the tech world would know it because it would be amazing.

Looks sick! Would love to know more about your WISP setup. I live in a pretty dense area and would be interesting to see how you run yours.

[@jec6613]

Running a WISP aside, throwing so many blinkey lights in an attic hurts my head a bit. And so many excess components, a Cisco small business router can handle all of the switching, PoE, routing, firewalling, PPP and segmentation needs... and do it far more cheaply, to the point where he could have a second cold standby unit and still come in way under that cost. And it takes up 1U. RUs are expensive! My own home rack as more than 10x the wired endpoint devices, and it takes up a grand total of 10U.

[@MGB72UK]

This is the type of guy that works on the infrastructure side of IT and thinks he knows network and security inside out because he can setup a VLAN or some sub interfaces on a switch

[@oscarscg23]

MGB 72UK 😂

[@mitchellmnr]

What might be a good idea for you to do as you're playing around a bit is to take a MK (Mikrotik) as use it in your office. What you could do is VLAN a port from your WISP side through the unifi switch to the MK downstairs. You would then have 2 ports, one for your LAN and the other would be on your WISP. This would allow you to play around with devices at your desk (wish is always easier) but as if you were connected like in this video. I love UB and MK, the unifi's UI for me is a bit more Apple like vs an MK which gives you access to everything (detailed) straight off the bat. However, once you become a network engineer, you'll start to gravitate to the command line anyway so the UI's become irrelevant. When you start pushing more than a GB over your WISP, you'll end up upgrading your equipment anyway. When that happens, have a look at an MK CCR with a radius server in a VM (if you want to link billing) Or UB's CRM and CNMS on one of their edge routers. I work with a company that pushes around 600Mbps on a CCR1009 (the last time I looked which was last year) and runs an external radius server with no issues. MK vs UB is purely down to preference for the routing side at the moment as both their products are excellent. I will however push people towards UB purely because of the software they are releasing that works alongside their devices. UCRM, UNMS and airControl give so much more control and insight without having to rely on 3rd party monitoring solutions that may give the insight you need in times of problems. So to you, good choice and keep it up

[@jeremyovia4970]

How do you distribute the Bandwidth among 30 Clients? 4-1? Load balance?

[@bencummings4444]

For some constructive criticism - I would suggest introducing some cable management (cable trays, double sided Velcro etc). The cables from your switch should go into a cable rail directly above or below your switch, then run horizontally and then up to a cable rail below your patch panel, and from there into your patch panel. This not only looks more professional, but makes it easier to swap and change things later.

MikroTik has great support, firmware/RouterOS updates are available for every router (even if it's 11 years old) and you can build great infrastructures with it!

Most KZbinrs like iJustine claim to be a very IT savvy people but are about as much use as Anne Frank's Drumkit, and proceed to stare gormlessly whilst a real IT pro like LinusTechTips configures RAID arrays etc. With the amount of overkill you've thrown into it, I'm surprised you're using a Synology NAS rather than something like a HP MicroServer G10? Same sort of cost but gives you a terminal with 100% uptime that you can access remotely via RDP/VPN etc.

Dazza exactly, now obviously most routers have firewall capabilities, but these are very limited and only good for private use, as soon as you grow to a small company(like he has done) you need to upgrade every bit of kit for a balanced, protected network. But I can see why he doesn’t have one, good firewalls from a company like Checkpoint begin in the thousands...

@@olliebt6761 he's simply a link in the chain. Imagine the wifi network being a large lan. All the important stuff is done at the break out. I used to load pf sense on a watch guard firewall from ebay and it worked perfectly. You can resell it too being open source.

[@jack1496]

firewalls can be software based as well

What router would you recommend that is rack mountable? I'll be adding security cameras in the near future. Thank you

WTF are you saying? Ethernet is like Ether. Not Melissa Etheridge.

I love reading comments on videos like this because there are always people who are smarter using words/acronyms that I don't know that I then search and learn about. :)

Guys if you're wanting information about networking then find another source, this guy only knows basic networking, such as knowing the difference between a router and switch, he does not use VLANs which he should, he's wasting local IP addresses by having a class A network for no reason and he claims to be a network engineer when in reality he's just reselling his internet.

Just sad that I had to search the comments for so long before someone finally called him out on this ass hattery, thanks man.

How does UniFi Switch work on corporate networks?
