Wifi repeaters and extenders are two different animals from what ive read in the past. I’m using Google mesh WiFi, but installing almost like an access points. I’m running CAT 5e to each mesh device that are the furthest away from my main router, then connecting another mesh, not hardwired, between each hardwired one, like a branch, so my wireless mesh is bouncing strong signals from the others. Essentially giving me a redundant, and strong WiFi signal all around the house, yard, garage etc

Great video and very helpful too. Just wanted to know what kind of speeds are you getting in all the different locations such as your work shop, garage, etc?

This is the BEST video I've seen on actual real life installing the Orbi system. How far is it from the Shop to the Orbi satellite you connected it to? AND, is the outdoor Orbi anything more than the normal router with a plastic box around it? Thanks, Rick

*Great Video! No one ever tells you if they can be chained for long distance or do they have to surround the router.*

Will the outdoor work with other brand mesh router? I’m wanting to get Wi-Fi signal inside my metal shop from house. I have signal with door open but loose it as soon as door is closed. We have gigaspire blast U6 in house.

Hi there. I looking at getting a RBS5OY. Is that what you use? I want to add it to my RBR20 router. Is that the same as you use?

Nice but what is the range they'll extend, my shop is 200 feet from my home main router and I have a barndominium 250 feet in another direction.

@user-md8im3zt7j 10 ай бұрын

Thank you for a Great video & description. Can you please clarify exactly what components you are using and how they are connected: Is your system = 1 Router with ethernet connection to your cable modem (?) + 3 Add-on Satellites wirelessly connected to your Router? I believe you have referred to your Satellites as "routers" and "extenders" but I think you mean Satellites? I have 4-Satellites in my 860 Mesh System, one wirelessly connected to the Router and the other 3 "daisy-chained"/"synched" to the one next closest and they work fine. However, I want to extend coverage by adding 2 more Satellites, but Netgear says 4 is the max you can add without degrading the wifi speed. Do you h ave any opinion/experience with adding more than 4? I believe you said one of your "satellites"? is 100' from the router? how far is your farthest away satellite from the router and is it "synched" to one of the other satellites??

Wonderful content that answered my many questions. Though only a minor thing, semantical but a point nonetheless, the cameras aren't security, they're surveillance. They can act as security, if the perps take heed and leave, but security is what you do when they don't.

@user-rb7lj1io3r 4 ай бұрын

The cameras are only surveillance if said perp isn’t wearing a deauthorizing watch or device.

@AnudeepDONDONDONRlol 2 жыл бұрын

Its a good idea however you can improve on those speeds by wiring your outdoor extender or your 1st floor extender to boost wifi performance, as the backhaul uses 5ghz which will interfere with speeds in your shed area. even having one more wired router improves performance a lot

I have a question. I had the nighthawk axe11000 router at 1st. Then I purchased the orbi ax 4200. They told me that I didn't need the nighthawk anymore. Should I have kept the nighthawk? And how would I benefit from keeping it?

5:36 I thought for sure the whitish chip on the left was on my phone screen. I was trying to scrape it off with my nail until I realized it was on your table .. SMH Interesting solution. I was thinking about using a $100 point to point solution to get to my buildings (which gets easily to a mile) and then add a mesh router to the buildings at the other end of each point to point. Should technically work, but didn't know if you had any experience there.

Hey Max, very helpful to me since I have a similar acreage and outbuilding. With the shop extender, are you actually traveling through 2 other extenders to get to your router or just one extender? Also, can you share your router speed vs your shop internet speed?

@maxirish 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Tom. Glad this was helpful! The shop extender is connected to the garage extender, which then connects to the primary router. So it's just going through one extender. Unfortunately my connection to the internet is via DSL out here, which only provides a max of 10Mbps down. I'm still waiting for Starlink dishy to show up. C'mon Elon! I get the full 10Mbps down when connected to the primary router. Out in the shop I'm getting an average of 8Mbps. So it's definitely slower out there. But still sufficient for my needs.

I am having a similar issue on my plot of land, I have to cover around 1200square meters of land with wi-fi signal. Could you tell me what the distance between the router mounted on the wall of the garage and the router mounted in the shop is?

@maxirish Жыл бұрын

I just went out and measured. The distance between the garage router and the shop router is almost exactly 100 feet (30.48 meters)

@YourLadVlad Жыл бұрын

@@maxirish thank you so much for your answer! That's almost exactly the distance in my situation as well. Are you happy with the loading times of KZbin videos in your shop? That's probably the most data consuming service I will use

Shop and Garage with Powerlines adapters would work better.

I’m working on getting Wi-Fi from my neighbor (Comcast wants $34,000 to run 850’ ) I bought the uuvee wireless bridge. I don’t have clear line of site. Working on clearing out the brush now. I’ve managed to get signal at least 400’ through it. I thought when you used routers as repeaters you lost half your signal each time it repeated. Cheers

I did it. Pretty proud of my self. Getting 30-50 mbps and not paying $65 a month for a mobile hotspot that was good for 4.8 mbps. Ubiquity msn2 nano station. Took some configuring. Uber geeks helped me remotely. In to it for about $400. Cheers

Hey guys I'm not trying to break the bank, I just searched for the stuff this guy has an Lord Have Mercy, this system isn't cheap. I'm just trying to cover my 5000 sq ft. I'm Not a gamer, I have the normal stuff going on like TV's laptops, Phones, and Now cameras, just trying to cover a 1 acre property with rea decent wifi strength. Can you all point me in the right direction with these mesh systems please. Thanks guys. And thanks for the upload bro I salute you on the coverage your getting. I just don't have the funds for all that orbi plus satellite equipment. Geeish.🤯

Those look extremely expensive, wouldn't a better solution is just a box of cat6 underground to a decent 80$ AP base for maximum full speed fiber access?

@maxirish 4 ай бұрын

These weren’t too expensive when I installed them. I think they have doubled in price since then, like so many other things. Running cat6 would save you money, but it would require a great deal more time and effort. Like anything, you can spend either money or time. 🙂
