always love when a content creator doesn't edit out the parts they struggled with. If you're struggling to put something in, probably means most people are and they at least want to know that other people have the problem or hopefully how it got resolved.
I've watched many many videos, looked at hundreds of products, dealt with misinformation and hearsay, but this video had solidly given me all the information I need to finally have reliable internet in my basically tiny house on the same property as our full-size home. THANK YOU
About 2 months ago I was searching for a way to extend internet to the shop. This was the first video I found and thought, "it doesn't look too difficult." Two weeks later when my items arrived, I struggled with the instructions, got frustrated attaching the transmitter and receiver to the buildings, and after it was all said and done, it didn't work. I troubleshooted it the next day and ordered a new router. Six weeks later, I unplugged all the connections, reset the units to factory settings and slowly walked myself through the process (while reading the directions) and hooked up the new router. IT WORKS! I made it much more difficult than it had to be and we now have working internet in the shop. Thank you so much for this video!!
David M. I’m thinking of using the same system. I’m in East Texas. Internet is balls around here. I’m not close to the toad so I need to connect closer. How can I be sure the distance won’t change my speed?
Chris Hockless In my own use, i’m only bridging about 200ft and it works well in that application. However, I highly recommend getting your own router and connecting it to the access point (wherever it is that you want internet access) after you set up the system. A prerequisite, as shown in the video, is that there is a good line of sight and the two modules are at or under 3 miles apart from each other. If your location satisfies this, i.e there is not trees or building that would block the connection and your connection is within 3 miles, this system should work just fine. Again though, the Tycon software that allows you to setup your own access point is trash, hence why i recommend instead buying a router of your choice to provide a wireless signal after you set up the bridge. In that case, you would have to ensure there is an established internet connection via connecting the ethernet of the receiving end of the bridge system to a device that could test the connection like a computer or game system. Once you know there is a connection, you simply plug in and set up your router as if you were setting up a regular one without the bridge. I went about 3 months without a router and I used the Tycon software to setup my own access point and it was horrible, so I highly recommend pairing the system with your own router to get a solid connection.
Sorry for zombie posting on a older vid but that cable is not uv rated and will get chewed up by the sun. Since the jacket is not uv rated, eventually the jacket will turn to dust and your conductors will short and if you are running POE you may short the switch or the radio and cause damage. You need a CMX shielded cat 6 that is rated for direct burial that is UV shielded and it will last for a long long time. It will take years, but that cable won't last and cause potential issues and/or damage later on. Just search on amazon for "CMX Cat6 Solid Copper". DO NOT RUN POE OVER CCA (Copper Cladded Aluminum) use only solid copper core. Great video looking to start a homestead with the family really enjoying the channel!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! for explaining so simply and with pictures! i needed this been struggling for 2years now n i’m not even as far as ur buildings 💙💙💙💙💙
Husband says what a great video--informative and entertaining!! Thank you so much for saving the day on a frustrating like situation. So very much appreciated!!!
If your in-laws' house and the barn you're living in are sharing the same electrical system (which is typical), you could have used a pair of network powerline adapter. With these, you are using the existing electrical cables to carry any ethernet data. I don't mind dealing with wireless bridges but I tend to avoid using them. Personally, I like to use the spectrum for wireless devices only. Whatever else that can be wired should be, especially if they are really closed by. Keep up your excellent work!
You are absolutely right!!!! I was one step away from spending megabucks! I already had a TP-link for my AT&T microcell (I live out in the sticks and need this for my cell phone to work) to connect up via my wireless router. I got to looking at it and it said these devices have a 300m range. I dragged it out to the barn, which as you say has common power lines to the house, hooked up my laptop to it and it worked just fine!!! Cleaner, with true plug and play connection. So all I need to do is get a TP-Link wifi range extender and I can actually work out in the barn using wifi, and don' t even need to hook up using a cat5 cable. Can buy those for $60 - $90 bucks depending upon the speeds you want. Just wanted to let folks know a bit more detail about this because it is definitely a money saver if your two buildings are powered with common lines.
This looks great in theory, my question is how does weather or other obstruction affect connection? So if its raining does it disrupt the connection at all? Im looking to set up a golf simulator in my garage and wonder if i wont be able to use it if the weather isn't good outside haha. Thanks for any replies!
Very clear explanation. I’m planning a bridge or mesh or whatever options to connect home internet to my studio on the property. This bridge would definitely be great line-of-sight for farms.
This is more a question than a reply,: if you have a router, why do you need to wire everything throughout your property? I thought routers were used to send wireless internet, to different points in a house, apartment or building etc... Sorry for not being computer savvy.
@@eddie-ed1959 to add to @4score’s reply, another thing with distance, metal buildings are tougher for WiFi to penetrate so having a router in the metal building is best(think of a dome reflection effect)
Your better off just buying a bulk box of cat6 or cat7 ethernet cable and running from the house to whatever building you want internet in. It's much more reliable and just add a second router if you want wifi connectivity. Otherwise just buy a switch and plug your network cable into it and then run individual cables from your switch to all your devices.
Great video y'all! I was just looking for a simple 'wifi extender wire-up how-to' video but instead got pulled into the tractor beam of you guys' homesteady life! You got a new subscriber here! 🤘 Keep rockin it! 🤜🤛
It seems like we all have been upgrading our systems/connections in one way or another this weekend. I added a new pc with 1 terabyte hard drive & windows 10. Spent day 1 just loading, registering, deleting one form of out of the box trial security to replace it with something far superior that my service provider uses to protect their equipment/services. I used that for 8 years previously with out any incidents on my older pc.
Great video could use this WiFI to my brothe's cottage 2 doors down with visual available. But, also looking to run next door, houses are 40 feet apart. Would you agree that I could just string CAT 7 underground. I would go router to router with no interuptions by using holes large to accept cable with fittings /plugs intact.
Worked Flawlessly. Just finished setting up mine tonight.If i could give you 10 stars i would. If you have time can you go into more detail on the benefit of setting up the secure Bridge.
On the apartment (metal building) side, is there an broadcasting antenna or anything inside the metal building or is the receiver act as the WiFi router? Just wondering if I had my reviewer mounted on the building side if the metal Siding would prevent signal from getting inside the building.
Just wondering, what were your speeds from the main building? Saying 160 dl and 18 up speeds doesn't really tell how much - if at all the connection speed dropped? Also did the ping increase. Thanks!
I’m with some viewers. That looked expensive and allot of work. I’m looking to bring internet to my garage that’s about half way of what you have. My best bet is definitely a bulk Cat5 cable.. but if it works for you, 👍👍👍👍👍
Will this work through two windows? I have a window in my shop and a window in my garage they are in line of sight of each other and about 80’ from each other.
Me = inter-web-net dummy! LOL This was very helpful and kind of you to do in the heat. The tip from Kyle about changing the router to bridge was “in-law saving!” Yay Kyle! LOL I have to admit I giggled when you were struggling to attach the piece to the bottom of the antenna. You were sweating 😓 up a storm all while Kyle, “the expert” stood back watching. 😂🤣😂 He then steps in and boom 💥 done! Hahahaha Honestly a great way for buddies to spend the afternoon and just rib each other. Making the task much less of a “task.” Plus you two are pretty much #twinning! Hahahaha I’m teasing ya a bit but again, thank you for sharing this. Very helpful!! God Bless ~Lisa Ps...the place looks really good. You guys have done a great job making a beautiful home.
Would a wired WIFI mesh network work too? They have a kit for like 3 and I kinda wanna try that instead because the setup it looks like it is less clutter. Plus they are not as big and keep the same name so u can walk around seamlessly?
Just wondering why not go the hard wire route ? Just a small slit in the ground. I had to run internet to my garage apartment around 160' from my wireless modem/router. I bought a premium 175' Ethernet cable from Ebay for 50 bucks and hardwired it 3 yrs ago. Never a problem and hardwired is the best.
Network powerline adapters work great if both ends are sharing the same electrical system (same metering). I've seen it working with transformers in between but I'd rather do a wireless bridge then.
So I can just buy some ethernet cable plug it in to my existing router.. and run it all the way to another wireless modem, (100ft distance) .. ? And should work fine?
Very slick. You missed one piece in your scenario with the exploding planet: when you upload a video, the router at your end sends data through the wire to your antenna back over to your in-law's antenna, through the wire to their router and out into the world. That is, both of the antennae send _and_ receive.
This is really eye-opening to my current internet situation. Will this work with a WiFi extender or do I need a proper router? I've got a Nighthawx X6S hooked up to a camper in the backyard of the main house but the internet quality can get questionable. I'll probably pick this setup up but need to know if I'll need to buy another router as well
Excellent video I had no idea these existed and being able to send INTERNET over long distances for 200 bucks who would’ve thunk it great job fellas!!!❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
I appreciate you doing this video. This is exactly what I want to do. I've used the Linksys system (bargain basement system). Worked great, for a while. Now I need something better.
There's only one thing I would do. You know when you were attaching the white boxes the the fence. I'd put them higher, up on the building for instance. RF doesn't like those fences, and it would be much stronger mounted on the building wall above the fence. That said you may have lots of signal with it mounted on the fence ? You've probably heard of "terrestrial" internet isp's ? Mine goes up to a 6000 ft mountain and antenna and comes down off the antenna to me on the other side ! Generally its much slower than yours.
You did most of the hard work getting the line out the house. Run a wire to your house and you gold up to 100 meters. This only seems logical from attic to attic so you don't have to run wires down your house. Curious on how stable it has been for you?
When i saw the small distance he was gonna cover with a lawn in between i thought: dude just dig a smal trench and run cable its 1 hour work and way cheaper and better.
would this work down in a storm shelter? i need a way to contact help if a tree happens to fall on the door and i cant get out after a tornado or bad storm ect.
my office is 100 feet from my home in a studio, and I was just offered a work at home job, but they require me to be plugged directly into the router in my home. I was dreading digging a 100 foot trench 18 inch deep, when I came across this. You think the signal will be the same, or worse, with a wifi bridge kit? To answer your question, a bridge kit means you don't have to spend an entire day digging a massive trench. I just wonder if the download/upload speeds would be the same. on wifi, I currently get 70 download, 10 upload, which is pretty good. I've never had an issue. but they still want me hardwired in to the router. any ideas why?
Wow my out building is 120 feet away, a roll of cat6 cost me less than 50 bucks some grey plastic pvc, a day digging small trench, and i have high speed cable from house to mancave same speed as is coming out of modem, like 2gb i think was new speed FOR HALF THE PRICE.
Great video! From my experience with this product, if you connect the LAN port of the side B antenna to the Internet/Data port on the router at the remote site, you would not need to disable DHCP. This way you still get to separate the remote side devices with the devices on the main site.
Can I bridge a cellular router from the house to a outbuilding also? So, the cell router in the house, this kit and then another router in the outbuilding?
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO!!!... BUT, I have a question. How much does this affect the broadband speeds to/from the source structure? If the source is 1Gmbs and I “bridge” to the guest house I have, literally just 16’ away, what would (an estimate, of course) the average speeds be for both structures?
Well, if your source is 1 Gbps, you won't get that kind of speed on the other side. According to their documentation, you will be able to achieve up to 100 Mbps which is still plenty for most cases. Still be able to stream up to 4k with no issues, downloads will be relatively quick, online gaming, etc. At your guest house, you probably will want to get a switch or an access point to distribute your network(internet). Be the easiest solution. You could use an old router if you want and turn it into an access point which was demostrated in the video.
And to add onto this as I didn't fully answer your question, there shouldn't be much impact on service quality at both locations depending on provider and of course how much usage the users are doing. So, of course, more devices accessing the internet or doing heavy downloads, you may see speeds slow down. That being said though, you will be fine for the most part I would say.
G1itch02, sounds awesome, thank you! We’re in a rural area that just (.... and I mean just) had fiber installed and about to be switched on, Altice by Suddenlink being the provider. They told us it’d be better to just setup an account for each structure. At $175 a month that’s a bit too steep for any of us here, even at a whopping 1 gig of mbps! I was hoping for closer to around 200mbs for the guest house, but 100 is still a lot better than the 3mbs the old cable cable DSL provided. Thanks for the reply!!
The only piece missing: at the receiving end you didn't mention what port do you plug the ethernet cable into on the router - does it go into the WAN port or into one of the 4 LAN ports?
I have purchased items through your link. Am able to get internet when I plug directly from POE into laptop....Hitting roadblock when it's connected to Netgear Router. Suggestions anyone? Thanks!!
A little late to reply but I may be able to assist. Are you still having issues? In the video, he had a router on the other side but that isn't always the best option. You could use a switch or purchase an access point which will serve what you need. You essentially need to turn your router into an access point.
Should have gotten outdoor rated Ethernet and run two physical connections. Way more reliable, faster and cheaper. Could have buried it or run it above.
Its less expensive AND more efficient to buy a camper as they are designed to be super efficient. This would allow you to more quickly be able to save for your land. Its still portable so you can move to your land eventually and live in it until you build your permanent home. Just a thought. Good luck. :-)
Sounds good, if you have a need for any of our other products, let us know and we might be able to work something out. I would like to send you my personal email.
This system looks fairly robust. I did a few searches after watching your video and found a couple of other products that look like they are not as robust but are only a third of the price. I am kind of curious from you or anybody else checking this video out what brought you to decide on this product over any other options.?
I just want to have internet in the backyard. I don't need a bridge, I want to extend the Wi-Fi by cord to the backyard so wouldn't one antenna be sufficient?
You should run a cable from your wireless router provided by the ISP to your back yard/porch or whatever, and then hookup a cheap secondary wireless "router." However, for the secondary "router" you will want to configure as an Access Point, since it's a wireless access point, it may be referred to as a WAP setting. Every company calls it something different, so read your friendly manual :) For a better walk-through google, "How to configure router in Access Point Mode."
Hi, great vid. Great humor and enjoyed vid. Just like to know,... is there a need to boost/level-up my internet speed from 300MBS to 1 Gig if I'm using wifi-extenders Netgear AC750 Dual-Band Range Extender, EX3700-100NAS from my main home to my detached-garage of 30-FT away? I'm a gamer and constant Smart TV Netflix in main house and outside garage unit will also be in constant internet use (Smart TVs and Cell phones). Thank you in advance :)
couldn't you just run ethernet cable from the router from the house to the building and bury it in conduit? this is something we are going to have to do as well...
You're right. Would have been much simpler. The heat and sun will ruin it in 2-3 years. Would have found a complete wireless system or buried the wire in small PVC.

I completely agree. When I was having trouble getting the bottom of the transmitter and receiver, I recalled that it was a difficult task.

how is it holding up? if you're in Texas, who is your provider if I may ask?

It seems like we all have been upgrading our systems/connections in one way or another this weekend. I added a new pc with 1 terabyte hard drive & windows 10.

I used that for 8 years previously with out any incidents on my older pc.
Question
You're getting like 80mbps down and 18 up with the bridged connection... but what's your original internet speed?
I’m assuming he probably only has 100 mbps. All of the equipment is hardwired, so not much WiFi speed will be lost.
Thank you thank you guys I have that issue, appreciate your help 🙏 😊
Saw your video and decided to use the wifi bridge for portable event internet. Works like a charm. Thanks.
@FATDADDY04 How much of your internet speed drop using the bridge compared to what you actually pay for?
Great video could use this WiFI to my brothe's cottage 2 doors down with visual available. But, also looking to run next door, houses are 40 feet apart.

You've probably heard of "terrestrial" internet isp's ? Mine goes up to a 6000 ft mountain and antenna and comes down off the antenna to me on the other side ! Generally its much slower than yours.
Do the transmitter and receiver need to be pointing directly at each other?
You did most of the hard work getting the line out the house. Run a wire to your house and you gold up to 100 meters. This only seems logical from attic to attic so you don't have to run wires down your house. Curious on how stable it has been for you?
When i saw the small distance he was gonna cover with a lawn in between i thought: dude just dig a smal trench and run cable its 1 hour work and way cheaper and better.
SNL and StarWars is looking for that check lol
I apologize if this was posted but I can not find the link for the brand of bridge extending kit you purchased...can you repost this?...thank you:)
would this work down in a storm shelter? i need a way to contact help if a tree happens to fall on the door and i cant get out after a tornado or bad storm ect.
i mean i dont see why not? unless the tree falls on the receiver
not if the power goes out.
@@screaminscott Cut the tree down first
Why not just bury weatherproof ethernet cable between the two buildings? As long as the buildings are less than 100 meters apart it should work.
my office is 100 feet from my home in a studio, and I was just offered a work at home job, but they require me to be plugged directly into the router in my home. I was dreading digging a 100 foot trench 18 inch deep, when I came across this. You think the signal will be the same, or worse, with a wifi bridge kit? To answer your question, a bridge kit means you don't have to spend an entire day digging a massive trench. I just wonder if the download/upload speeds would be the same. on wifi, I currently get 70 download, 10 upload, which is pretty good. I've never had an issue. but they still want me hardwired in to the router. any ideas why?
Wow my out building is 120 feet away, a roll of cat6 cost me less than 50 bucks some grey plastic pvc, a day digging small trench, and i have high speed cable from house to mancave same speed as is coming out of modem, like 2gb i think was new speed FOR HALF THE PRICE.
nice barn
Fun to watch. Looked like a good time.
does weather effect the connection much? Ice, snow, heavy rain?
Whats the maximum distance this will work. We have a 2nd home on our property that's about 150 yards away. Thank you.
According to the company A far as line of sight
So good
Great video! From my experience with this product, if you connect the LAN port of the side B antenna to the Internet/Data port on the router at the remote site, you would not need to disable DHCP. This way you still get to separate the remote side devices with the devices on the main site.
Kyle = One fine looking man! Thanks for sharing how to set up a bridge. ~Smile!
Good video. Thanks
Can I bridge a cellular router from the house to a outbuilding also? So, the cell router in the house, this kit and then another router in the outbuilding?
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO!!!... BUT, I have a question. How much does this affect the broadband speeds to/from the source structure? If the source is 1Gmbs and I “bridge” to the guest house I have, literally just 16’ away, what would (an estimate, of course) the average speeds be for both structures?
Well, if your source is 1 Gbps, you won't get that kind of speed on the other side. According to their documentation, you will be able to achieve up to 100 Mbps which is still plenty for most cases. Still be able to stream up to 4k with no issues, downloads will be relatively quick, online gaming, etc.
At your guest house, you probably will want to get a switch or an access point to distribute your network(internet). Be the easiest solution. You could use an old router if you want and turn it into an access point which was demostrated in the video.
And to add onto this as I didn't fully answer your question, there shouldn't be much impact on service quality at both locations depending on provider and of course how much usage the users are doing. So, of course, more devices accessing the internet or doing heavy downloads, you may see speeds slow down. That being said though, you will be fine for the most part I would say.
G1itch02, sounds awesome, thank you! We’re in a rural area that just (.... and I mean just) had fiber installed and about to be switched on, Altice by Suddenlink being the provider. They told us it’d be better to just setup an account for each structure. At $175 a month that’s a bit too steep for any of us here, even at a whopping 1 gig of mbps! I was hoping for closer to around 200mbs for the guest house, but 100 is still a lot better than the 3mbs the old cable cable DSL provided. Thanks for the reply!!
@@errtex if you want faster internet I suppose the only other option would be to burry an Ethernet cable and get a mesh WiFi system.
The only piece missing: at the receiving end you didn't mention what port do you plug the ethernet cable into on the router - does it go into the WAN port or into one of the 4 LAN ports?
Did you run the wires under ground
You failed to post a link for the POE, or does that come with the antenna's?
Awesome. Yeah for WiFi wit a good upload time.
Thank you
I have purchased items through your link. Am able to get internet when I plug directly from POE into laptop....Hitting roadblock when it's connected to Netgear Router. Suggestions anyone? Thanks!!
A little late to reply but I may be able to assist. Are you still having issues?
In the video, he had a router on the other side but that isn't always the best option. You could use a switch or purchase an access point which will serve what you need. You essentially need to turn your router into an access point.
Great video guys thanks and I love the Star Wars references
The Force is strong with you
Should have gotten outdoor rated Ethernet and run two physical connections. Way more reliable, faster and cheaper. Could have buried it or run it above.
Thank you sooo much for this video. I'm saving for a tiny house, that will be parked next to my parents house. This video made it so easy for me.
Its less expensive AND more efficient to buy a camper as they are designed to be super efficient. This would allow you to more quickly be able to save for your land. Its still portable so you can move to your land eventually and live in it until you build your permanent home. Just a thought. Good luck. :-)
I need help on changing the router settings, any info or video . Thank yall.
So do the antennas need to be set up outside?
Great video thanks
Top show 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have used ubiquity antennas/radio beams that have sent Internet well over a mile with absolutely no data loss.
When you are all home and someone leaves the door open, do you say "shut the door! Do you think we live in a barn or something?" hahaha
Thank you for doing this.
Also, we do have a kit that comes with CAT5e cables.
I have sold many of these through this video. I monitor the links 👍 let me know if you would be interested in partnering in the future.
Sounds good, if you have a need for any of our other products, let us know and we might be able to work something out. I would like to send you my personal email.
We have a wifi repeater. $69 and we can catch wifi 15mi from the repeater antane
This system looks fairly robust. I did a few searches after watching your video and found a couple of other products that look like they are not as robust but are only a third of the price. I am kind of curious from you or anybody else checking this video out what brought you to decide on this product over any other options.?
Did you use this with a mesh system in the main house and an old router in the barn?
you never showed us how to configure the bridge settings.
Awesome! Can you then run it to another building?
You seem like your in a remote location? What type of internet do you have? If satellite do you like it?
Hello ho is that bridge still working for you?
At the distinction/target, after the poe which port to do use to feed the wifi router?
I just want to have internet in the backyard. I don't need a bridge, I want to extend the Wi-Fi by cord to the backyard so wouldn't one antenna be sufficient?
You should run a cable from your wireless router provided by the ISP to your back yard/porch or whatever, and then hookup a cheap secondary wireless "router." However, for the secondary "router" you will want to configure as an Access Point, since it's a wireless access point, it may be referred to as a WAP setting. Every company calls it something different, so read your friendly manual :) For a better walk-through google, "How to configure router in Access Point Mode."
Hi, great vid. Great humor and enjoyed vid. Just like to know,... is there a need to boost/level-up my internet speed from 300MBS to 1 Gig if I'm using wifi-extenders Netgear AC750 Dual-Band Range Extender, EX3700-100NAS from my main home to my detached-garage of 30-FT away? I'm a gamer and constant Smart TV Netflix in main house and outside garage unit will also be in constant internet use (Smart TVs and Cell phones). Thank you in advance :)
What you get at the house you get at the other end! It’s great!
@@Homesteadyshow :) Thank You for replying. Wish you well!
What happened if raining hard did wifi work ?
Did you have to use weatherproof ethernet cable?
couldn't you just run ethernet cable from the router from the house to the building and bury it in conduit? this is something we are going to have to do as well...
You're right. Would have been much simpler. The heat and sun will ruin it in 2-3 years. Would have found a complete wireless system or buried the wire in small PVC.
