It is not much of an issue here …. my walls are comprised of 1/2’ of drywall, 5.5’ of fibreglass bat, and 3/4’ of plywood … they offer slightly less wifi resistance than a meter of rock and mortar … they are also way less cool.
Hi guys, might be worth putting a small drain hole in the bottom of the plastic enclosure, the Wifi point will get warm and create condensation in the cold months and this will create moisture. Water will just sit in the box. Good Luck!
I think given your existing network setup, you literally chose the best option. I have similar issues in my house because downstairs the walls are all double block to support the concrete floors above it, but i made do with a mesh node at a window to reach a garage (not the prettiest nor fastest but it works). Ideally as you say you'd want to run ethernet backhaul if your device supports it then you never need to worry about node to node signal strength.
When I watch videos like this where people are diy'ing their home network, I often cringe because most people don't know what the #$%#&^$% they are doing. I wouldn't have done what you ultimately decided on as there are better outdoor solutions both for your property and the garage, but I didn't cringe on your video. I believe that you chose a solution that is good enough, and will support your needs wonderfully. Good enough is all any of us want anyways. :) Can't wait for further improvement videos! Thanks!
Anyone else struggle with outdoor/garden WiFi? This might be a solution! 😃

I can't even get a signal from the lounge to the conservatory after the bedrooms. Only a 3 bedroom detached bungalow at that.

Thanks for the tip!
And a drip loop on the wires to make sure moisture doesn’t go into the WiFi box

Congrats on finding a nice simple solution. Thanks for the video
Loved the last laugh line!
Was pleasantly surprised at how good my Eeros actually were with linking up to each other & not losing speed. Best of luck on the house!
Thank you. 😊
I thought this was the Jen Lewis channel.
I’m a guest presenter…tough luck 😂
I was also hoping to hear more/close to all from Jen.
@@MarkLewisfitness In which case I was surprised to not see you standing on a podium.
@@johnmartin690 I don't put these together...I just pop up in them 😂
1:35 love the views around the new home. ❤
Nice!!
ero 6+ ooks amazing, im gonna buy one today
So the previous owners didn't have internet?
How do you get 200MBs at all? Star link seems to average at 100Mbps for most people. What are other people's experiences with their speeds?
We get 300 next to the router!

'Good enough' is very much our new goal for all jobs. 😃
What are better outdoor solutions that you would recommend for areas with no data signal?
The TP-Link EAP225 is only £70 easy to setup and is designed to live outside
Thanks for the suggestion.😊 We wanted to expand the mesh system rather than an an AP.
Mark is looking 10 years younger, new skin care routine?
Don’t make his ego any bigger! 🙈😂
