Beam Your Wifi Up to 3 Miles

[@argee55]

Brock. I highly suggest the you add a grommet to the pass thru hole that you drilled in the siding. The raw edge will cut thru your Ethernet cable in no time at all. Otherwise a very informative video.

[@chriswhitehead83]

Great video and product. I just got Starlink for my property in East TN. It is a game changer.

[@catdaddyglenn9697]

Another fantastic video. I just watched and commented on the StarLink service video you made; and I was also thinking of doing WiFi bridging to out buildings. It's really helpful to see someone actually do it and it kind of confirms the ideas that I had.

[@HarryVonhoene]

I use a eero system to achieve a similar setup for about 3-4 years. Available from Amazon. For the most part it works well, keep an idea of how many devices are on that network, as it can affect your bandwidth!

[@leebyrd1434]

I need that! Fiber optic cable just arrived at our end of the county and I was customer #1. I'm seeing speeds over 800 up and down. I didn't know those numbers were even a thing. I need your gizmo to get down to the shop and the barn. Thanks!!

[@osangraketera6381]

1st Like watching here nice sharing your video.thank you for your hardwork.

[@MartyHenderson-ie9sp]

Thanks Brock. I am trying to get internet out to my new shop and I think I will go this route now. Appreciate the video.

[@anthonyg6924]

1:17, it'll beam a signal 3 miles away. I want to see that demonstrated for sure.

[@bikeny]

I was thinking of PROJECT FARM's quote "We're gonna test that!"

[@reggeckmann3993]

We install ubiqiti equipment for the internet. Cheaper novice use products exist.

[@davidmays2161]

I still have some old power station p2ps running, been using their equipment at sub sites for years.

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

This is neat. My house used to be owned by the horse farm next door and they had something like this that they removed before I took ownership. I've got something similar that I want to use to beam wifi across my property. Yours is better than mine though since it has it's own wifi. Mine is just an wireless ethernet bridge so I need to add a router too. But I am still trying to figure out a way to set up a solar powered PoE to energize the receiving unit because I don't have electricity down there. I have two pairs so I might out one at my shed that does have power that is just outside of consistent wifi range.

[@mtchbrian]

I am having the same issue at my house in Ky. Cell service is weak if not available. Local internet provider's internet sucks. Been thinking about star link and running internet to my shop that way as well. We used them to spread wifi when deployed in Jordan. I think it was a half mile between the two dishes

[@djpmatchbox]

use your own router and put those devices in bridge mode. also turn off the part that transmits those other networks. that way you only have one network across property.

[@thebonestead]

Need to do this for the front of our property but need it to be all on solar.

[@Cowboy_Steve]

Howdy Brock! These are pretty cool. I need to do something like this to get internet out to the barn. The barn has metal siding, so signals do not penetrate into my shop. I think Josh over Hardy Brothers set up a similar system at his place. Do the transmitter and receiver need to be line of sight? Looking forward to seeing your setup with the cameras and stuff. Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠

[@jerrymcjunkin8398]

Love it thanks for showing BROCK KEEP IT UP 💯 👌 ❤ !!++

[@jerrymcjunkin8398]

Brock this is round up @ go I've been with you for a long time how about posting wher I can get this package 📦 if you don't mine I am wanting to know thanks BROCK FOR CAREING FOR OTHER'S KEEP POSTING AND YOU AND FAMILY HAVE A GREAT DAY 👍 !!++ ❤

[@laynegrantham5339]

Hi Brock. Love your channel. Are these "line of sight" or can they be used through and over undulating ground? Meaning, if I have a shop that is 300 yards from my house and that shop is hidden by trees and so forth, will this work? Or must they be able to have line of sight between them to work? Thanks!

[@AdamMuhle]

Obstructions will impact devices like this, just like walls impact wifi signal in your house. 5GHz will be affected more than 2.4GHz as lower frequency signals have more ability to penetrate. Given your description, I'd be pessimistic about it working but I doubt anyone can say that definitively without more information.

[@tim1299]

Explain that again. What are you plugging the POE and the white wire into? How many routers do you need?

[@KPVFarmer]

That’s awesome!!! I’m looking to do something similar. Thanks

[@catdaddyglenn9697]

Next step: put up small solar panels at each element to power the WiFi bridge elements.

[@BenPasternak]

That's quite a bit of money, since you have power out there you probably could've used power line adapters at a quarter of the cost. Either way glad you have internet in those hard to reach places because there is not much more maddening than not having internet when and where you need it.

[@hagak1679]

well max range on power line is 300m, and that is the length of the cable not line of sight. Also if he has a transformer between the buildings that wont work either.

[@MM-rr1kp]

starlink at my address is $120/month unlimited data. $599 for equipment as well. that is a lot what are average speeds uo and down on Starlink

[@RockhillfarmYT]

200 MBS up and 30 down

[@gregcautrell1259]

Yeah, it's a lot, but we folks out here in the boonies don't have the choices most other folks have. I don't have any wired choices for internet where I live. I got Starlink recently and it's way better than any of the other choices that are just as expensive.

[@dustdevl1043]

I just use 2 tin cans and a length of string...

[@JCWren]

Brock, a minor pronunciation correction, if you please. The first 'e' in Ethernet is pronounced like in knee or need. You had it correct once or twice there :).

[@bikeny]

I wasn't gonna tweak him about it, but, yeah, I was cringing every time he said it. As you noted, it is the Long E sound.

[@jerrykelly7052]

please let us know if you are a happy 😊 😊 customer after a few weeks later thank you cause I am interested in this

Good morning

[@Aussie_gamer.]

Hi

[@peterskove3476]

Too funny. I’ve had every type of geek you can name fail to get it a few hundred feet, there’s a hundred foot silo I could put an antenna on, which I’ll do and go back to listening to radio because they say even that silo won’t do it for interne because of the metal roofs….

[@Lens-KeepingBusy]

🇨🇦🚜👍

[@reggeckmann3993]

POE pronounced P O E, it's the Power over Ethernet Adapter.

[@reggeckmann3993]

The Little Black box. It's probably 24v, different ratings won't interchange... 30v and 48v stuff.

[@JCWren]

@@reggeckmann3993 Passive Power over Ethernet injectors generally fall into 12V, 24V, and 48V categories. Some devices can handle passive and active injection, like the Amcrest cameras I use. The MicroTik Cube Lite60's on my remote sites are passive PoE only. That's somewhat annoying since I have a PoE switch for the cameras that COULD power the Cube60, but I'm forced to use the injector. Dumb design by MikroTik. Yet the 60Gx3 AP at the house is active or passive.

[@precisioncomponentllc1820]

Why not just use your trencher to run a conduit.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

How is that a “just”. Running conduit is not something you “just” do. I’ve done it multiple times here on the property, but it’s expensive and time-consuming and involves hazards. There are things between here and there that I could hit If you trench it to that location, then you can’t change your mind about where you want it It’s a good option, but sticking one of these up is something you just do real quick that doesn’t cost you much or take much time

[@OldSkoolDJ54]

It's pronounced "E" thernet.

lol I was trying lol

[@project.jericho]

Wifi bridges like this are absolutely unsafe long term. The amount of radiation they put off is overwhelming. Fact is, we've been able to demonstrate this for some time; hell, 4H kids have repeatedly made comparisons where two yards of plants were grown - one with a Wifi router broadcasting both 2.4 and 5GHz and one without. The one without grew normally while the one with didn't even sprout. There has never been an industrial safety study regarding our saturation with these radiation sources so while we can demonstrate it, there is no Federal data to conflict with the commercial sector from cellular radiation to Wifi. Are they short term damaging to humans and animals - for most not perceptibly, but long term? There is precisely zero reason to believe they are safe given what we can illustrate in regard to plants.

[@kencramer1697]

This makes me cringe. I see multiple problems in your future. To be fair, your not a network engineer and you are most likely not aware of the problems but they are there. The largest problem will be how much bandwidth these wi-fi cameras take. Going with a wired setup will not solve your problems either. What you are going to need once you get this up and running is network seperation. You are going to want your camera's on a seperate network from your other devices. One way of doing this is to have 2 access points at the far end of the bridge. One SSID for the cameras using channels w,x and the other access point with a seperate SSID using channels y,z for your regular devices. Now in your specific scenario this might not be needed, but if you are bridging wi-fi to a guest house or remote office you would wan't the camera's and regular traffic to be on seperate channels. There are to many variables in a network plan to dive into here in a you-tube comment but a general example may help. At my house I have network A for my home use. (Internet browsing, streaming, cell phones connect to it etc) and I have Network B for my camera's. In this case the camera's are wired but the concept is the same for wireless with a few extra hiccups. My wireless access point A on channels w and x is connected to Switch A and all home hardwired devices are connected to Switch A. All my hardwired camera's are connected to switch B and If I had wireless ones they would be connected to wireless access point B on channels y and z. (Think of the wireless channels like Radio stations home network stuff is on 98.6 FM and wireless camera's are on 106.1 FM) The only place that these two networks touch are at my router that connects to the internet. Kuddos to you on implementing your solution. Just know that you are most likely going down a rabbit hole to an entire new area of learning in order to make your solution perform the way you want it to. :)
