Thank you! I also have 10 acres to cover but, unfortunately, also have more trees. You've given me an idea, though, to "jump" from house to office trailer to shop to RV area. I chatted with an Orbi rep but he never mentioned using multiple routers. Since I'm new to all this, it seemed like an impossible task. However, your step by step guidance has been fabulous. I cannot thank you enough. I will comment again when I set it all up - keeping fingers crossed!
Very helpful. I am researching how to cover a very large property, including outdoor spaces and security cameras and you just provided all the solutions. Thanks! Liked and subscribed.
GENIUS....THANKS FOR CLARIFYING AND ILLUSTRATING HOW YOU ACHIEVED COMPLETE MESH COVERAGE OF SO MANY SEPERATE STRUCTIURES/AREAS. THANKS AGAIN FOR TAKING THE TIME.
MY DUDE! Incredibly helpful, you have no idea! I have a large property that I am trying to cover and you answered all my questions! New subscriber, Cheers!
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?
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?
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
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
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 $100 point to point solution to get to my buildings (which gets easily to a mile) and then add a mesh router to the buildings at the other end of each point to point. Should technically work, but didn't know if you had any experience there.
@jondoles7116 Ubiquiti Nanobeam NBE-5AC still the best way to do a remote access point extended that far? Is there a way to search for the far wireless point stuff? Sorry,.been off grid for 10 years and it feels like a different world getting power and electronics again (had to get off farm job to help with costs going up and property taxes too, and needing internet to ship farm goods now...)
Thank you for a Great video & description. Can you please clarify exactly what components you are using and how they are connected: Is your system = 1 Router with ethernet connection to your cable modem (?) + 3 Add-on Satellites wirelessly connected to your Router? I believe you have referred to your Satellites as "routers" and "extenders" but I think you mean Satellites? I have 4-Satellites in my 860 Mesh System, one wirelessly connected to the Router and the other 3 "daisy-chained"/"synched" to the one next closest and they work fine. However, I want to extend coverage by adding 2 more Satellites, but Netgear says 4 is the max you can add without degrading the wifi speed. Do you h ave any opinion/experience with adding more than 4? I believe you said one of your "satellites"? is 100' from the router? how far is your farthest away satellite from the router and is it "synched" to one of the other satellites??
Wonderful content that answered my many questions. Though only a minor thing, semantical but a point nonetheless, the cameras aren't security, they're surveillance. They can act as security, if the perps take heed and leave, but security is what you do when they don't.
Those look extremely expensive, wouldn't a better solution is just a box of cat6 underground to a decent 80$ AP base for maximum full speed fiber access?
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. 🙂
Look into WiFi halow. Alpha makes an outdoor Poe model. Get yourself a 328 foot direct burial Ethernet cable and get it as close to the center as possible. Also regular WiFi should cover the whole outside if there are no trees or buildings in the way.
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.
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.🤯
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?
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 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 TH-cam videos in your shop? That's probably the most data consuming service I will use
If you get the Starlink ethernet adapter you could connect that to a Netgear Orbi Mesh system. More info here: www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/10kei1p/should_i_go_with_starlink_mesh_or_is_a_3rd_party/ However, I noticed that Starlink has it's own mesh routers which you can order from their shop. That might be an easier way to go in your situation. shop.starlink.com/
@maxirish I have the routers mesh system. But it can only go so far. I have it outside for maybe 100 feet. I have a metal building guest house thats about 3/4 down my 10 acres land. I want to send my signal out and inside the building. I can run an ethernet cable from my starlink router switch to the outside of my house and connect some typw AP or repeater to send signal down my property. But I want to pick up that signal and transfer it inside the downstream building.
Hi Mike. I expect this would be compatible with Starlink, but I don't know for sure. I'll let you know once my Starlink dishy finally arrives. I've been on the waiting list for over a year now.

I want to see more content. Very entertaining and educational to teach people that every problem has a solution :)
You are the man! This was so helpful. Interesting to know why you don’t have a weatherproof enclosure case for your outdoor satellite
Beautiful property, man!
Nice joint man. Good useful stuff too. Thanks
Great video and beautiful property too!😀
*Great Video! No one ever tells you if they can be chained for long distance or do they have to surround the router.*

Great idea. Will use to connect to my neighbour. Any info on how far you reached between two outdoor units?
My only question as you stated 2500 feet, is that from center out or a circle around a given point?

I'm afraid you were not the only one my friend. Lol
P2P Bridge systems work great! We use them for camera surveillance. You can get a pair of Ubiquiti NanoBeam NBE-5AC for around $200.

How many of those do think we need to cover up a space like New York City?
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.
Nice video expect one thing that a lot of people get snagged on. Wheres the power source to run it all?

Wifi directional antenna. It shoots a long direct beam in one specific area.
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.
The cameras are only surveillance if said perp isn’t wearing a deauthorizing watch or device.
How far and what walls did you go through to reach your Firepit and Garage. Did you place one near a window? I need to go through ICF Cement walls.
RBS50Yv2 is discontinued is their a new version? I don't see it?
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?

How FAR apart can the units be? 2,500.00 sqf is not telling DISTANCE?????
Can I use the router I have now then buy one outdoor satellite then an indoor satellite in my shop that is 120' from the house?
Look into WiFi halow. Alpha makes an outdoor Poe model. Get yourself a 328 foot direct burial Ethernet cable and get it as close to the center as possible. Also regular WiFi should cover the whole outside if there are no trees or buildings in the way.
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?
I have a orbi myself does it work on 2 separate electrical grid or does it have to be the same electrical grid?
What did all this cost you
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.
You need to get an Unifi access point.
I will look into this!
@@maxirishdid that help?
Nah no need for a unifi access point. He just wants wifi. He's a farmer not a geek. He would have been better with a mesh system. But whatever works
Yea mesh is good enough. The hardest part is finding a power source to keep it going

What's the cost for the wifi mesh routers?
The government loves your video and wants everyone to cover their property with WIFI! ;)
So how many routers do you have? Thats alot of DHCP servers.
How far away is your shop from the house?
Shop and Garage with Powerlines adapters would work better.
Thanks

buy one 14dBi Omni directional Antenna and get rid of all these junk.
it will give you up to 0.4 miles internet coverage 🦃
Can this work with StarLink?
Hi Mike. I expect this would be compatible with Starlink, but I don't know for sure. I'll let you know once my Starlink dishy finally arrives. I've been on the waiting list for over a year now.
I can't even get Wi-Fi on a 10,000 square property only in the house
Well I guess what sucks is your video is 2 years old and all the links to the products on Amazon are dead
Nice but far too expensive to build a system from that. Way better options, much cheaper.
Good feedback! Let me know if you have recommendations for cheaper options. Thanks for watching.
I hope you see this, as I would love a link to cheaper options that work!
Wds😊
It's ok if you got heaps of money to spend
Mannn, seriously … Get the names correct for what you’re referring to 🤦🏼♂️
i hate the design. i much prefer the router with antennas it looks more cool than ufo-shaped wifi mesh
🤡
🤥
Looks don't matter too me. I just want what has the best performance. I don't care if it's as big as one of those huge satellite dishes from 1980s.😂
