These are actually how we receive internet in my area. There is no ISP willing to run cable several miles from house to house so one guy on the edge of town got Gig internet and he just sells you internet for $40 a month and daisy chained a bunch of these together so we can get internet
Democritus86 if it's in a contract the it is legal. the law voids any contract that contradicts it. therefore if a contract can be written discussing the matter then the law is silent on the issue. either way it's not illegal for me to buy it or use it so until they shut his ass down I'm cashing in
sorry i ment its "illegal" on the ISP's perspective not on the law so preaty much worst thing it can happen is to void your contract,ofc the tax office might want his ass.
most likely because hes used to company speed internet which is usually always 1 gbp/s+ which is why for his old video which was about him "losing data" he complained and explained what he means by that

After 78 feet you generally need a permit to put up a tower depending on bylaws. and the larger towers require a pretty significant base and guide wires. i would imagine that they rent or lease the building they work out of further complicating the installation of a tower. More of a pain in the ass thing than a price thing in my opinion for them.

its capable of doing 25km without any problems if there is no obstruction between the signal or interference so its why they suggest to install it on a pole so there is less obstruction
The army has something similar called the CAISI, I guarantee the only difference is that the CAISI costs 10 times as much and works 1/10th as well. -_-
+Baruch Bacon it would actually be 14.2 because with Internet protocols there are generally 10 bits per byte. SATA also works in a similar way.

im an old satellite communications technician for the military. i loved messing with "line of sight" communications systems. this little dish setup is super cool, especially for the price
I've done 30-50km links with older Ibiquity hardware before here in South Africa. Works well. Ping does go up obviously. Linus do a proper example. Go climb a mountain or hill that has line of site to your office and show us the results. (alignment is a bitch when you and the other guy is sitting on 2 towers 50m up in the air.)
+Francois Botha Yeah they could at least have tested the range in a nice real world situation and not just 50m down the road with $300+ worth of kit, even though the principles are the same.
+Francois Botha The newer versions of Ubiquiti products have GPS based alignment, you can input the coordinates in both antennast and get the alignment done.
+Luiz Fernando Cavalcanti dos Santos Their GPS stuff sucks.. Go cambium if your gonna use GPS. Ubiquiti's gps based "titanium" systems failed horribly.
Luiz Fernando Cavalcanti dos Santos There's a reason even ubiquiti isn't continuing the titaninum line. Where to start? Costing wasn't good, they felt that the timed devices were worth more when they should have been focusing on making all their hardware support timing. Deployment? They had no central timing so the benefit of it was lost on them. I believe the edgeswitches tried to address this but chicken before the egg. Software was plagued with issues, Random reboots and session deauth's due to desync'ing. The only thing that they did well, is the units were sturdy as hell. Drop it 200ft off a tower? I'm sure its fine.. Ubiquiti has way better hardware (Power Bridges) and way more stability (normal rocket m5's) with better cpe options (nano bridge/beam?). Timing just doesn't work well with 802.11* it's not what the protocol's for. For PMP your better off using a proper TDD solution (Look at cambium, or mimosa) I can give you a few dozen RMA's and constant tickets with ubiquiti 'maybe we can fix that in another patch' if you want to give me your email, I have about 3k units deployed. I like Ubiquiti as a vendor, but there is a time and place for any tool and ubiquiti's is rather limited.
😊😊I already have this on my 250 year old house in a tiny little little village in North Yorkshire, UK. It's amazing!!!! a local company has used this technology to bring broadband to rural communities. the phone line offers 0.5mbps 👎👎👎 this puppy gives us 30mbps rock solid and we have got rid of the phone line all together. Great technology! means I can watch linus tech tips every day 😊
I use that kind of ubiquiti technology for more that 5 years. At distance of 1 km. It is great technology, that alow you to get internet connection in some kind of worlds ass:)
You can use iPerf3 to get an accurate bandwidth measurement of what the throughput of the antennas is. You would setup one side in the iperf server mode, in the "datacenter", and then use the iperf in client mode on your laptop. I'm a network engineer, we use this all the time, really good tool.
25 km... and my wifi can't even pass through the upper floors... (i will love you forever Linus/anybody if you can give me some tips or send me to a video for reference)
+TotalXPvideos well there is your problem, modems usually have shit Wifi with low range. Get a Wifi-AP. Linus has a video about how he improved the Wifi in a home while he was in Taiwan or somewhere in asia.
thanks, love you all, I will give these tips a shot, more suggestions are always welcome ofcourse (yes, the house is concrete, most houses in The Netherlands are)
Fantastic video proving a LOT of points - thank you very much to LTT I had my wifi cut off because I changed bank accounts and Talk Talk didn't even give me the chance to set up a new standing order - so I asked a neighbour if I could use their wifi from their Vodaphone service and they said yeah sure. My little Atom struggled with 2 bars of green on the connection but I did at least get a connection of sorts if I stood at the back door with it open. I was pretty angry with Talk Talk and had already made my mind up that having been a customer of theirs for 10 years or more without missing a payment that I would never go back to them so I did a lot of ebay research for prices and internet research for products which might help me. Luckily my neighbour is much closer than 25 kms (just 5 houses away in fact) I got a generic 802.11n dongle with an aerial attached to it (non directional) and a 10 metre extension cable (way too long - I needed much less but I didn't know at the time) - the dongle has the Realtek chipset in it, the booster cable has a capacitor in it When I got it I taped it to my kitchen back-door window, plugged the usb cable in to it, put the other end of the USB cable into the Atom, ran the software and bingo - from one or two low signal networks available there were literally dozens of 5 bar solid connections available (mostly with pre-shared keys of course so no use to me of course but they were there and thats the point) I now (pay and) share my neighbours wifi and he has a couple of other friends on it - he has a 72mb/s fibre optic - he has it set up so we all get around 15 mb/s each for permanent but the box he has is smart and will give as much throughput as available until another user contests it - clever stuff I have no clue how that works but the point is it is never slow, videos don'e end up buffering (except on facebook, go figure ? ) and if he hadn't told me I would have had absolutely no idea at all I was sharing with anyone else One of the connections is another friend of mine who lives about 800 yards as the crow flies and he is connected to regular (twisted pair) broadband and asked if i could attach to him to check the connection out, so I entered his password and bingo another available strong connection tested at around 12mb/s or roughly the same as he gets from his router to his laptop which is about 5 yards away. He is up the hill and it is pretty much obstruction (and houses) free Right - so the longest most folk would ever need a cable is about 5 meters - get one with the capacitor in it they are only about £1 more - I suggest rigging up some sort of hook system and attaching it with Gorilla tape on the windows where you might want to use the computer so its there right away without having to faff about with tape every time - or maybe even a little stand for it ? It's movable and that's important to remember. The reason I think this video is so great is that I am really angry with the amount of money that has been spent cabling Wales - it runs into many many £billions and proves the point that money was a complete waste. This money was paid by the public coffers - not the service supplier - what a complete and utter con that was eh ? Unforgivable especially as I had thought good RF type wifi would be achievable and made mention of it many times before all those £billions were spent. I couldn't afford one of those dish things to do a test with so this was really really a great experiment to share. Thanks again
According to an authorized Ubiquiti Networks reseller's site, the Ubiquiti PowerBeam® ac ( PBE-5AC-500) shown in this video costs US$159.00 _each_, not $150 for a pair as implied by the host. To get a link going may set you back $400, or more, depending on additional cables and antenna mounting gear. The prices aren't a whole lot better than what it cost to set up a homebrew Wi-Fi link 5 to 10 years go, although the package is slick and appears easier to set up.
I want to hide one of these in the middle of my city and give it a name like "(City) Free WiFi" and make it password protected. And watch people try and figure it out how to access it.
+CMDR S-Viper it would basically be a stripe of access across one radius of your city. The antennas are not omnidirectional, they have to be very finely aimed at what is supposed to be picking them up.
+Kevin de Bie just get a magnetron from a microwave oven do some tinkering do some beam focusing melt your face a few times in the process get brain cancer from the aforementioned face melting and there you have it a portable cooking beam or just skip the above and cook it in the microwave like a normal person
+MWB Gaming Actually the US army IS testing this concept as a nonlethal enforcement tool (or something like that, basically a weapon that doesn't kill people)....
I set these exact units up roughly a mile apart from each other (with trees in between) and get a steady throughput of 350Mbits. These things are pretty legit.
They're hitting the top portion of a pretty thick area of trees. I was able to use the web tools built in to dial in the speeds. I'm now getting 5 - 600Mbits. That being said, I cant image you not getting at least a few hundred Mbits going only a quarter mile, even through thick trees. I was extremely surprised by these things and I bet they'd work great for you.
Zachariah Zollo hi.. seems u have set one up pretty good.. im also planning to buy and set it up since none of the local providers here are willing to..so im planning to have the provider set it on the nearest site they can and plan to use this to transmit it towards the desired locaton which is about 25km.. so i need to buy 2 of this dish right and its all like user friendly when installing? hoping for your response..
Rory Mayores I bought mine on Amazon. And yes, pretty easy and user friendly to set up IF youre going a few miles distance. It comes with a little booklet for basic setup but there are a ton of thorough TH-cam videos on how to set it up. 25km is a long way though, there cannot be anything in the way if you're going to go that far- clear skies. 25km defitnely isn't going to be easy
Zachariah Zollo yeah i imagine setting up poles with those lighning rods im just hoping it would work as they were labeled to work up to 25k.. tnx.. great help
For a not free line of sight ( trees etc ) use the 900 Mhz radio transmitters from Ubiquiti I,am using them for years , working great The 5 , 3 and 2.7 GHZ are nice if you have a free line of sight Depending on the climate where you living in i advise ( humid climate ) gel filled shielded cat cable, standard cables are breathing and in time they are full of condense . Most important is keeping the Fresnel open en clean the first meters I,am living in the middle of the bush and have a wireless connection over 6 radio transmitters , passing mountains etc to a multi wan router, there are more than 50-clients on this system Have fun .
+Jason Baldwin A combination of Google maps, proper maps with the general direction outlined, and a lot of luck. I used to work on a WiMAX network and alignment was a bitch even at one kilometer. Doing it at 20 was incredibly frustrating, but possible with patience.
+Pandonaut Productions Don't want to sound like a know it all however, I must interject. Speedtest.net is not best benchmark at all because it uses port 8080, by default. ISP's have started boosting this as a result, the port has something to do with DSL or dial-up. Testmy.net is a much better and more accurate speed test. It's more relevant because it uses port 80, which is HTTP/web traffic. Also testmy.net lets you do long term testing. EDIT: TIL: testmy.net is not the way to go, the consensus is to just go with speedtest.net
+Lucas Klauser testmy.net is even worse imo. It's saying I get 42 Mb/s even though when I download anything I get 12 MB/s which is 96 Mb/s which is what speedtest says I roughly get.
Love this episode. I live in a rural part of San Diego and internet options are limited to dialup or bottom rung dsl. Recently a company started offering 10-15mb connections by using the ubiquiti dishes and its pretty awesome.
Incorrect. A properly setup ubiquiti with up to 50 people on a single access point can have ping times similar to DSL. If you understand any of that xD
So 50-60 is around the max for dsl. Theres an internet provider that kinda works that way its called Zip Spider. They use short wave radio waves i believe to provide internet.
You're counting the entire link. What matters is the last mile. It's usually several ms. The first hop of my ubiquiti access point takes about 1ms when entirely utilized, or 7ms when fully utilized. DSL's last mile latency is usually 2-15msec. VDSL is usually on the lower end of that.
+leon vdd No, the law limits the mount of *power* you can transmit with; your range depends on that plus other factors including how much of that power you get going in the direction you want instead of every which way. Also wifi uses the unlicensed ISM band, which is not considered to be amateur radio.
pulled a Nanobridge m5 off of a roof where I was working, and they said I could keep it! I have played around with it, and even connected to a normal access point about a half mile away. You can even get dd-wrt firmware for some if not most of the ubiquiti products. I ended up softbricking mine on the first dd-wrt flash attempt, but was able to recover with serial, and successfully use the firmware.
+oEx0duSo It will let you "bridge" two networks. So if one side had a gateway to the internet and the other side did not then yeah, one side would go to a switch router and as could the other. Think of it like a network wire running through the air, it has to plug into something.
Just modify a satellite dish. My house is literally 150 feet away from school but the penetration of the signal is bad ( bad cell signal in the school)
+LimPu people don't realize that some times it's a matter of distance from the ISP that is causing the low speeds, spending more on the fastest package might just end up with them paying for like 20Mbs, the ISP saying they can only deliver up to 15Mbs and them ending up with 12-10Mbs.... been there done that. and ofcourse the nest package deal is 10 or 5 lol. so yeah burn the house move to one with fiber already installed.
My ISP provides me internet via the same point to point WiFi connection. They have a receiver antenna mounted high up on my house. It works well even in bad weather. The transmitting antenna of the ISP is like 3 miles away with lots of trees and buildings in the middle.
I forgot if it was Detroit but citizens are using these to be provide internet to neighbourhoods that don’t have high speed internet. They were linking the dishes house to house to make a private internet network. So every new customer added a new structure to expand the network. They would also approach the tallest buildings and offer them internet in exchange for mounting dishes.
Also, for full beans, make sure you select these settings: - Wireless > Channel Width=80Mhz - Wireless > Aggregation Frames=64 - Output Power=(as high as needed) ...and probably some other tweaks I can't remember. All in all, great devices!
Looks very similar to what my ISP supplies me with. I am off grid and quite rural. Their system is 5Ghz, and I beam to their AP around 7 km away. Beats my neighbor's satellite internet service by leaps and bounds.
Makes me want to buy a cabin on a hill somewhere just to get one of these! I actually saw something that looked similar on a house down the street. They were probably beaming from one of the office buildings nearby to the house. Very cool.
That wifi antenna would be great for people who live on the coast and have their own fishing boats, especially if you set up an actuated gps tracking pivot, so that it is always pointed at you.
This is amazing, I can't believe it's so cheap! I was just yesterday trying to think of how to set up the wireless to cover the house better, since I have a pretty big house and it gets really bad in some areas. I think this might be really useful. And being able to cover the back yard would be awesome too. I will say that it would have been nice if you had had the technician come out so we could have seen the "right" way to set it up, rather than the "figure it out" way to set it up...
Now that I looked at the website, it seems like it might not be quite so cheap. But I probably just put a whole bunch of options I shouldn't have. I'll need to look into it a lot better.
I am a sysadmin for a historical sight where I have to get Internet access across a 10 mile field with no wires. Linus actually saved my job with this lol

Uranium hell no but his comment is funny asf. 😂
yes its legal. I once had a 78Mile ptp link between two mountains to service customers in a remote area. They call them WISP, or Wireless ISP's
its not legal for private connections to be distributed around.... its on your contract.. its even illigal to give it for free...
Democritus86 if it's in a contract the it is legal. the law voids any contract that contradicts it. therefore if a contract can be written discussing the matter then the law is silent on the issue.
either way it's not illegal for me to buy it or use it so until they shut his ass down I'm cashing in

Today on LTT Linus microwaves his face with WIFI XD
+Sunny Hill xddd
I use that kind of ubiquiti technology for more that 5 years. At distance of 1 km. It is great technology, that alow you to get internet connection in some kind of worlds ass:)
I run some Ubiquiti antennas my self.
Didn't expect much but i was really amazed.
Perfect signal / speed / uptime.
That little voice crack when he yelled "FLATTER" was so cute XD
No.
Linus, have you tried decaf?
If you had of bought that fire poll then you could have put it on that.
You can use iPerf3 to get an accurate bandwidth measurement of what the throughput of the antennas is. You would setup one side in the iperf server mode, in the "datacenter", and then use the iperf in client mode on your laptop. I'm a network engineer, we use this all the time, really good tool.
so i can buy this to use my home internet at school??
+Louis Cai how far is your house to your school
wow great thinking :D
if you wanna carry the freaking antenna dish to school :D
I though the same, but I'm not pretty sure if they would let me install it in school!?
Well if your school doesn't mind you setting up a giant network dish there
Now I can build the ultimate tree house.
+skylar15123 COOL
25 km... and my wifi can't even pass through the upper floors... (i will love you forever Linus/anybody if you can give me some tips or send me to a video for reference)
Get a better ducking router. So you love me now?
+Gavin Scherer (MLG DudeDudeDude) almost, got some suggestions (i'm Dutch, using the standard modem from my provider called kpn if that helps)
+TotalXPvideos well there is your problem, modems usually have shit Wifi with low range. Get a Wifi-AP. Linus has a video about how he improved the Wifi in a home while he was in Taiwan or somewhere in asia.
thanks, love you all, I will give these tips a shot, more suggestions are always welcome ofcourse (yes, the house is concrete, most houses in The Netherlands are)
+DIYEyal and how much will all of this cost? (i know it's a google search away but i'm here now so)
Fantastic video proving a LOT of points - thank you very much to LTT
I had my wifi cut off because I changed bank accounts and Talk Talk didn't even give me the chance to set up a new standing order - so I asked a neighbour if I could use their wifi from their Vodaphone service and they said yeah sure. My little Atom struggled with 2 bars of green on the connection but I did at least get a connection of sorts if I stood at the back door with it open.
I was pretty angry with Talk Talk and had already made my mind up that having been a customer of theirs for 10 years or more without missing a payment that I would never go back to them so I did a lot of ebay research for prices and internet research for products which might help me. Luckily my neighbour is much closer than 25 kms (just 5 houses away in fact)
I got a generic 802.11n dongle with an aerial attached to it (non directional) and a 10 metre extension cable (way too long - I needed much less but I didn't know at the time) - the dongle has the Realtek chipset in it, the booster cable has a capacitor in it
When I got it I taped it to my kitchen back-door window, plugged the usb cable in to it, put the other end of the USB cable into the Atom, ran the software and bingo - from one or two low signal networks available there were literally dozens of 5 bar solid connections available (mostly with pre-shared keys of course so no use to me of course but they were there and thats the point)
I now (pay and) share my neighbours wifi and he has a couple of other friends on it - he has a 72mb/s fibre optic - he has it set up so we all get around 15 mb/s each for permanent but the box he has is smart and will give as much throughput as available until another user contests it - clever stuff I have no clue how that works but the point is it is never slow, videos don'e end up buffering (except on facebook, go figure ? ) and if he hadn't told me I would have had absolutely no idea at all I was sharing with anyone else
One of the connections is another friend of mine who lives about 800 yards as the crow flies and he is connected to regular (twisted pair) broadband and asked if i could attach to him to check the connection out, so I entered his password and bingo another available strong connection tested at around 12mb/s or roughly the same as he gets from his router to his laptop which is about 5 yards away. He is up the hill and it is pretty much obstruction (and houses) free
Right - so the longest most folk would ever need a cable is about 5 meters - get one with the capacitor in it they are only about £1 more - I suggest rigging up some sort of hook system and attaching it with Gorilla tape on the windows where you might want to use the computer so its there right away without having to faff about with tape every time - or maybe even a little stand for it ? It's movable and that's important to remember.
The reason I think this video is so great is that I am really angry with the amount of money that has been spent cabling Wales - it runs into many many £billions and proves the point that money was a complete waste. This money was paid by the public coffers - not the service supplier - what a complete and utter con that was eh ? Unforgivable especially as I had thought good RF type wifi would be achievable and made mention of it many times before all those £billions were spent.
I couldn't afford one of those dish things to do a test with so this was really really a great experiment to share.
Thanks again
do anyone know what is the requirement for very long distance networking wirelessly...about 300-400km??
lol tf

Iskog Productions phone mean
Ashiqur Rahman use ur phone to get unlimited internet 😂
Daisy chain it maybe haha.
That's all I can come up with
I like this segment but I still want a SW season 4.

+Xavier Switzer y u lien for?
would be dope if you had an office in a sky scraper and lived kinda close
According to an authorized Ubiquiti Networks reseller's site, the Ubiquiti PowerBeam® ac (
PBE-5AC-500) shown in this video costs US$159.00 _each_, not $150 for a pair as implied by the host. To get a link going may set you back $400, or more, depending on additional cables and antenna mounting gear. The prices aren't a whole lot better than what it cost to set up a homebrew Wi-Fi link 5 to 10 years go, although the package is slick and appears easier to set up.
I want to hide one of these in the middle of my city and give it a name like "(City) Free WiFi" and make it password protected. And watch people try and figure it out how to access it.
+CMDR S-Viper How would you watch people try to access it?
Paul Omans MAGIC
+CMDR S-Viper it would basically be a stripe of access across one radius of your city. The antennas are not omnidirectional, they have to be very finely aimed at what is supposed to be picking them up.
+FracturedPixels Up from 14th street to central park vertically in 7th/8th ave. in manhatten. SUCKERS!
+CMDR S-Viper someone might know how to hack wifi signal

+Daus5095 More like a better headset.
Your attitude is absolutely garbage.
Fix ur ears mate
About to deploy these to do point to point across 4 acres. Your video was great to watch.
set it up as a malicious access point mUAHAHUEWHA *cough*
Now see if you can cook ramen with it :D
***** microwaves
+Kevin de Bie just get a magnetron from a microwave oven
do some tinkering
do some beam focusing
melt your face a few times in the process
get brain cancer from the aforementioned face melting
and there you have it
a portable cooking beam
or just skip the above and cook it in the microwave like a normal person
+MWB Gaming Actually the US army IS testing this concept as a nonlethal enforcement tool (or something like that, basically a weapon that doesn't kill people)....
that makes no sense since microwave energy is lethal even at low to medium exposure levels
+MWB Gaming No it's not. Remember: microwave ovens use it, wifi uses it, hell even Bluetooth uses it (not to mention satellite TVs)!
Could you do a long range test? I wonder how good LAN gaming would be on this?
+UR-S6 alright Thanks
I set these exact units up roughly a mile apart from each other (with trees in between) and get a steady throughput of 350Mbits. These things are pretty legit.
How thick of trees are we talking? I am looking to only do about a quarter mile, but it is heavy forest between the two cabins.
They're hitting the top portion of a pretty thick area of trees. I was able to use the web tools built in to dial in the speeds. I'm now getting 5 - 600Mbits. That being said, I cant image you not getting at least a few hundred Mbits going only a quarter mile, even through thick trees. I was extremely surprised by these things and I bet they'd work great for you.
Zachariah Zollo hi.. seems u have set one up pretty good.. im also planning to buy and set it up since none of the local providers here are willing to..so im planning to have the provider set it on the nearest site they can and plan to use this to transmit it towards the desired locaton which is about 25km.. so i need to buy 2 of this dish right and its all like user friendly when installing? hoping for your response..
Rory Mayores I bought mine on Amazon. And yes, pretty easy and user friendly to set up IF youre going a few miles distance. It comes with a little booklet for basic setup but there are a ton of thorough TH-cam videos on how to set it up. 25km is a long way though, there cannot be anything in the way if you're going to go that far- clear skies. 25km defitnely isn't going to be easy
Zachariah Zollo yeah i imagine setting up poles with those lighning rods im just hoping it would work as they were labeled to work up to 25k.. tnx.. great help
For a not free line of sight ( trees etc ) use the 900 Mhz radio transmitters from Ubiquiti
I,am using them for years , working great The 5 , 3 and 2.7 GHZ are nice if you have a free line of sight
Depending on the climate where you living in i advise ( humid climate ) gel filled shielded cat cable, standard cables are breathing and in time they are full of condense .
Most important is keeping the Fresnel open en clean the first meters
I,am living in the middle of the bush and have a wireless connection over 6 radio transmitters , passing mountains etc to a multi wan router, there are more than 50-clients on this system
Have fun .
So how would u alin thwm at 20km.
compass
+Jason Baldwin A combination of Google maps, proper maps with the general direction outlined, and a lot of luck. I used to work on a WiMAX network and alignment was a bitch even at one kilometer. Doing it at 20 was incredibly frustrating, but possible with patience.
+Steve Sherman My brother uses the same process, study the alignment on Google Earth and then goes for real and installs everything.
carefully
a cheap handheld GPS with a built in compass,
"Because we dont have a pole"
Why not get a #firepole ?
What speed test website is that?
+Pandonaut Productions beta.speedtest.net/
Thanks
+Pandonaut Productions Don't want to sound like a know it all however, I must interject. Speedtest.net is not best benchmark at all because it uses port 8080, by default. ISP's have started boosting this as a result, the port has something to do with DSL or dial-up. Testmy.net is a much better and more accurate speed test. It's more relevant because it uses port 80, which is HTTP/web traffic. Also testmy.net lets you do long term testing. EDIT: TIL: testmy.net is not the way to go, the consensus is to just go with speedtest.net
+Lucas Klauser testmy.net is even worse imo. It's saying I get 42 Mb/s even though when I download anything I get 12 MB/s which is 96 Mb/s which is what speedtest says I roughly get.
+Jackal depends on what storage device u have
Love this episode. I live in a rural part of San Diego and internet options are limited to dialup or bottom rung dsl. Recently a company started offering 10-15mb connections by using the ubiquiti dishes and its pretty awesome.
can't wait to play pokemon go with big ass dish on my back.
how much does it affect your ping?
undoubtedly not csgo worthy. Probably at least 70-100 best conditions.
Incorrect. A properly setup ubiquiti with up to 50 people on a single access point can have ping times similar to DSL. If you understand any of that xD
So 50-60 is around the max for dsl. Theres an internet provider that kinda works that way its called Zip Spider. They use short wave radio waves i believe to provide internet.
Not at all. Thats satellite internet not WISP.
You're counting the entire link. What matters is the last mile. It's usually several ms. The first hop of my ubiquiti access point takes about 1ms when entirely utilized, or 7ms when fully utilized.
DSL's last mile latency is usually 2-15msec. VDSL is usually on the lower end of that.
even a cellphone tower doesnt reach 25miles
km
Yes but its illegal to have a amature radio wave that goes more than 500m
+leon vdd No, the law limits the mount of *power* you can transmit with; your range depends on that plus other factors including how much of that power you get going in the direction you want instead of every which way. Also wifi uses the unlicensed ISM band, which is not considered to be amateur radio.
+leon vdd could be because they are designed to handle more traffic at the same time rather than more distance?
+leon vdd depends on where you live, most of europe has a 125mW limitation with which you can get ~1km+ in good conditions
i used to work for a wireless broadband company and let me tell you, these arw awsome!!!! we used 5.4 ghz
and to think australia only just got 100Mbps speeds
What about my 20Mbps in France...
1gbps squad checking in
***** lol
+Fractured not in tamworth =/
+Fractured And if you're not on the NBN you could get 100 down but still only 2 up lol.
You get about 250mb speeds and my wifi caps out at less than 1mb
This comment is going to get likes for nothing.
Almost
Hmm, fail?
+Arnab Biswas Give it time. If it doesn't work in a week, then it's a fail.
+Viral Shift it works
+Maarten Weyns Your statement is invalid.
pulled a Nanobridge m5 off of a roof where I was working, and they said I could keep it! I have played around with it, and even connected to a normal access point about a half mile away. You can even get dd-wrt firmware for some if not most of the ubiquiti products. I ended up softbricking mine on the first dd-wrt flash attempt, but was able to recover with serial, and successfully use the firmware.
You forgot to hide your password man! I can clearly see that it is: ********
what speedtest is he using?
It's the beta speedtest. It doesn't use Flash
+xJochim beta.speedtest.net
lmao I paused it at 1:00 to go see how much it was.. Came back played it again and BAM he says how much it is.. lmao * *fail* *
+oEx0duSo So wait, do you need to have one hooked up to the pc you're wanting to use and another at the base station of the modem/router?
+oEx0duSo It will let you "bridge" two networks. So if one side had a gateway to the internet and the other side did not then yeah, one side would go to a switch router and as could the other. Think of it like a network wire running through the air, it has to plug into something.
Hooray!!! Please more Ubiquiti videos!
lol linus giving away his IPs on the internet. 192.168.1.10
+gremy0 Meh, nah...too obvious mate...too obvious.
+gremy0 thats a local ip, its useless to anyone not in the building :)
+KC woosh
Low quality bait right here
Bad bait
omg, if this works, i can have free internet at school 😍
Just modify a satellite dish. My house is literally 150 feet away from school but the penetration of the signal is bad ( bad cell signal in the school)
Where do I find satellite dishes or make one?
Craigslist or garage sales
+Melvin8D or a USAF base xD
You can put internet through a satellite dish?
What country are u in , Its REALLY GOOOD that you use KM and M instead of miles , they make no sense
He is in Canada
Most of the world uses the metric system.
A meter is basically a yard and a km is basically 2/3 of a mile (since Europeans are only 2/3 as awesome as we are 😎). Pretty easy to remember.
I had done something like this a few years ago using some cantennas. Was able to shoot a signal about a mile down the road to my uncle's!
you spend $17,000 for a huge battery but won't buy a measly 60 meter tower? everybody needs a 60 meter tower man
Hello . how can I make my Internet better ... :( my upload speed is like 2 mps :(
+Raul Gabriel Burn your house down and move to another area. EASY as that!!
+Raul Gabriel Sounds like you either need a better internet package from your ISP or your ISP just sucks.
+Raul Gabriel Spend more money for a faster connection and better hardware.
+Zack Butler yea pay em to upgrade their internet lines =)
+LimPu people don't realize that some times it's a matter of distance from the ISP that is causing the low speeds, spending more on the fastest package might just end up with them paying for like 20Mbs, the ISP saying they can only deliver up to 15Mbs and them ending up with 12-10Mbs.... been there done that. and ofcourse the nest package deal is 10 or 5 lol.
so yeah burn the house move to one with fiber already installed.
with 25 km range subscription cancer is free of charge.
John Besa you dobt get cancer from wifi
Survivalisbest unhackable Google vatican radio towers cancer.
I don't think that is a real form of cancer
My ISP provides me internet via the same point to point WiFi connection. They have a receiver antenna mounted high up on my house. It works well even in bad weather. The transmitting antenna of the ISP is like 3 miles away with lots of trees and buildings in the middle.
you know you could just get a separate router
I just read the title and thats a lot of kilometers. touché linus touché

I'm sure I can get an Ethernet cable loger than that. Pretty lame if you ask me.
An Ethernet cable is limited to 100m before it needs a repeater
+SillyNamesAreSilly You still only need 250.
+Sterling Ralph it's 25,000 m
+Sterling Ralph 250 × 100 equals 25,000. When I said you only need 250, I was referring to the number of repeaters.
+Sterling Ralph Yeah I'm being sarcastic, just making fun of people who only use Ethernet (me)!
Just checked on www.speedtest.net/ and my stats are: Ping- 1139ms, Download- 0.20Mbps, Upload- 0.18Mbps #JustAustralianThings
I forgot if it was Detroit but citizens are using these to be provide internet to neighbourhoods that don’t have high speed internet. They were linking the dishes house to house to make a private internet network. So every new customer added a new structure to expand the network. They would also approach the tallest buildings and offer them internet in exchange for mounting dishes.
Also, for full beans, make sure you select these settings:
- Wireless > Channel Width=80Mhz
- Wireless > Aggregation Frames=64
- Output Power=(as high as needed)
...and probably some other tweaks I can't remember. All in all, great devices!
Looks very similar to what my ISP supplies me with. I am off grid and quite rural. Their system is 5Ghz, and I beam to their AP around 7 km away. Beats my neighbor's satellite internet service by leaps and bounds.
Makes me want to buy a cabin on a hill somewhere just to get one of these! I actually saw something that looked similar on a house down the street. They were probably beaming from one of the office buildings nearby to the house. Very cool.
That wifi antenna would be great for people who live on the coast and have their own fishing boats, especially if you set up an actuated gps tracking pivot, so that it is always pointed at you.
I've always watch your video more interesting and learned more about configuration
This is amazing, I can't believe it's so cheap! I was just yesterday trying to think of how to set up the wireless to cover the house better, since I have a pretty big house and it gets really bad in some areas. I think this might be really useful. And being able to cover the back yard would be awesome too. I will say that it would have been nice if you had had the technician come out so we could have seen the "right" way to set it up, rather than the "figure it out" way to set it up...
Now that I looked at the website, it seems like it might not be quite so cheap. But I probably just put a whole bunch of options I shouldn't have. I'll need to look into it a lot better.
Linus your dedication is sky rocket. you are awesome 👍
I am a sysadmin for a historical sight where I have to get Internet access across a 10 mile field with no wires.
Linus actually saved my job with this lol
