Tech Troubleshooting on the Outback: Fixing Wi-Fi Repeaters and More

[@NicholasRenyard]

Nice work on Landline. Got a heap of the same gear with over 10 wireless links supporting 70+ connected devices on our dairy farm. There are other farmers like me!!!

[@shaunkeating9989]

You obviously have to be multi talented to run the station. Welder, mechanic , pump tech, electronics tech, feral pest controller, pilot, husband, father, coach, driver and conservationist. Jack of all trades, master of any? 😂😂

[@DawesyD]

Ha ha. ‘Jack’ of all trades 😂… pun intended I assume ha ha.

[@arffadailey8055]

Just a typical Australia farmer.

[@gunner4544]

Dude, you are everything including an electrical engineer. Lol. May I suggest wiring up a remote pa speaker so you can yell at the camels that they are going to perish shortly? See if they understand English? Lol

[@acemannw]

Couple ideas with all of the heat you guys get on your equipment. 1. Could you add heat shielding to your equipment boxes? Some kinda the Styrofoam. 2. They make small fans that could increase the airflow in those boxes. When they get over 40C they could kick on. 3. You could try to mount the equipment box to the side of the water tank which would keep it cooler. 4. They make a aluminum foil bubble wrap you could skin the outside of the equipment boxes

Who really like to see more on how each site tech setup. Looking at something on a much smaller scale.

[@bw_merlin]

Really enjoyed seeing the networking side of the station's water point management.

[@intothenight1993]

Very interesting mate. Keen for the next ones on how you have your boxes set up.

[@Wyrm1701]

Carry a set of network plug crimping pliers with you, and if you have something that's a bit intermittent try giving the plug another press with the crimping pliers; you'd be surprised how often that sorts out dodgy connections. Second, try and make sure there's a bit of spare cable in the run, so if you have to chop off a plug and reconnect, you've got the spare length.

[@Sprinkles-r5y]

Love your work! Sharing the knowledge you have and showing how it can be done is gold. Keep the great content coming!

[@samvalentine3206]

Cool stuff - thanks for sharing. Glad you have it all under control!

[@wra64dashcamtruck]

Another great video. I didn’t know that there was so much in the running a property. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@RickJames-j6j]

Thanks for sharing your life and work in the Outback!

[@richardphelan8414]

Very interesting video ,I saw a hole open to the elements in the upper left corner of your Box this can't be good plug up with a dab of silicon

[@erichowarth364]

Another great video Jack , I'm interested in the upcoming video of whats in the box and how it's setup.

[@michaeldejong2320]

Totally agree would be super interesting

[@bruceyeoward6544]

Agree, in the bush you have to be multi skilled , cant ring up for help unless you have G5 , these skills can only be learnt from experience, you cant buy experience. That said IT skills have stopped all the old guys. Young man biz now running a station or farm.

[@danielrunkle815]

I’m always looking forward to your next video!

[@donfinch862]

Well done Jack!

[@unlivedlukeyb88]

It is completely possible that condensation can form inside the box. Best way to avoid and remove the risk is adding venting kit. Done regularly in commercial cctv/network installations.

[@yossarianbombardier6823]

Clear day....Is that the moon at 5:07....or a spot on the lens!?? Cheers from the East Coast!

[@dougmcfee8351]

After camels the next eradication project should be the fly’s

[@paulpaterson9844]

Hi mate, just wondering if you are earthing all your frames/antenna mounts to the ground. Even an earth grid around the structure? May help with lightning protection. All our comms equipment is well earthed to actual ground to provide some protection from lightning. You may be able to buy a raydome type cover for your launchers as well for some protection from the elements.

[@andrewgroom1806]

We run a Starlink but most interested to see what is in your system. We'd like to add cameras to our system also. Question for you. How high a temp do your Starlink modems cope with? I think I recall they mentioned 50C and wondered how you found them and where you place them. Great video btw - as they all are.

[@stevenslavicek9711]

Thanks.

[@SNS95]

Hi Jack, really like your content but I can't understand how far apart your water points are and where they are so can you please tell us about it so we can get a perspective of your farm I was looking on Google map to find your water points and only found two but now I don't know what are they called.

[@edwardhawkey5714]

Hi Jack, well, i am technologically disadvantaged so i will deal with the physical stuff and leave this to you!!!!!🤣🤣

[@michaelkaylor6770]

@jackouttheback do you have a pre-staged emergency kit, with the pepper style survival stuff, at each water point? Obviously, no answer here in public is secure but just a thought, Water, blanket, tarp, ammo, food, signal flare whatever?

[@pdzh]

dude, I invested about 3k to build my own network in the mountains to get wifi coverage where cell network does not cover. I did that for myself when I am doing security cameras as game cams, now I accidently became an ISP for few people that live behind hills without internet other than mine. so my system is slowly paying for itself by having 7 WIFI costumers paying monthly fees to me.

[@harryjones8952]

I would have thought the bar to keep the camels out would have been on the outside of the verticals. ?

[@brettadams9826]

Err there is a relese button on the powerbeam lol we run a Family ISP for rual customers so use a lot of Ubity stuff and the cmt about re ccrimpingg the lead is alway good idea

[@OpenThisGate87]

I wonder if there is a way to completely abandon the poe and run separate dc power leads to all the devices. Not because poe is a bad idea, but because trying to power so many devices all at once.

[@kyleweatherhead1571]

hey Jack, Have you guys had a look at the New 4cylinder, Auto 70 series Landcruiser wagon at all as a station service vehicle?

[@jimmyrecard6021]

good car but not worth 80k

[@markissboi3583]

Jack you shud have a burningman type bonfire build something out of logs & junk laying about Also do you have a drone ?

[@danvandertorre]

so trapped heat is the problem if the heat can not get out it will kill the unit venting.

Hello - I'm new to your channel. This may be a dumb question, but why do you kill camels? are they an invasive species? I cannot find on your channel the reason you need to remove them. Could you explain? Again, just an ignorant 60 year old !! Thank you!

[@RedDragon0353]

Yeah they're invasive species. They drink all the water for the cattle too so that needs to be protected

[@ML-yk9rx]

As pastoralists we are obliged under the terms of the least to remove/eradicate large feral herbivores (LFH) so this means camels,horses and donkeys

[@samvalentine3206]

Cool stuff - thanks for sharing. Glad you have it all under control!
