to waveform who is a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":391.5,"end_s":398.16,"text":"retailer and they got back to me like within 10 minutes they were like oh yeah","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":396.06,"end_s":402.419,"text":"that sounds awesome I'm gonna have good cookies here we are cookie oh is it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":400.139,"end_s":408.419,"text":"actually a branded cookie holy crap that's a that's next level it literally","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":404.88,"end_s":411.0,"text":"is branded branded cookie okay last

after","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":414.06,"end_s":420.72,"text":"we install it so we got another coverage unit okay","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":417.78,"end_s":424.44,"text":"attack another coverage unit yeah so we should have four the original plan was","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":422.34,"end_s":427.62,"text":"to do one per floor but I also asked them to send a fourth one in case we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":425.759,"end_s":430.38,"text":"wanted to put it in the garage so we got our land in that's where our networking","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":429.12,"end_s":433.86,"text":"is going to come from the server room and then see you one two three four for","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":432.3,"end_s":438.84,"text":"each of the coverage units there's also a lan out maybe oh I think you can have","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":437.039,"end_s":443.52,"text":"multiple of these you can have like because all this land is doing is just","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":440.759,"end_s":446.88,"text":"the signal uh to the web panel to control it right","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":445.44,"end_s":453.0,"text":"um but like in a warehouse you might need a couple of these I guess that's fair yeah so what are we thinking","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":450.18,"end_s":457.68,"text":"aesthetically like we put a little shelf here maybe put actually maybe we can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":455.88,"end_s":461.759,"text":"just do a couple L brackets we do like a rack mount UPS this little yeah one","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":459.96,"end_s":466.08,"text":"power goes out thinking a rack mount ups with just one of those 2u sure wall rack","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":464.699,"end_s":470.46,"text":"things and then this boy could maybe just go like right here we'll just whoa","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":468.08,"end_s":474.06,"text":"Linus is the reason I have trust issues nope there you go so do we do we bother","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":472.68,"end_s":479.66,"text":"cutting these back or should we just terminate them where they are and just leave a spool on the wall just do one

however you want Jake apparently this is your","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":484.319,"end_s":492.68,"text":"project now the number of times I've been overridden on my own

things","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":501.36,"end_s":506.58,"text":"yet oh I don't need the antenna yet well you want the J pool first right yeah","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":504.66,"end_s":510.24,"text":"that makes sense and where does it go exactly I was thinking we'll just put it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":508.379,"end_s":513.899,"text":"on the siding up and then it'll just point that way kind of oh okay which","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":512.52,"end_s":517.68,"text":"wait which direction do you want to point that way that way roughly and this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":516.18,"end_s":522.12,"text":"corner would definitely get better then so we got our Hardware on basically you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":520.08,"end_s":526.56,"text":"can tighten these boys up when you're ready to lock it into place","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":523.8,"end_s":529.32,"text":"boom just like that I think we got to move the ladder I can't reach from here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":528.0,"end_s":533.58,"text":"you're not going there you're going on the white on the white yeah on the

I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":536.22,"end_s":545.36,"text":"don't want to put it on the floor no it doesn't even fit look put it the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":542.94,"end_s":551.399,"text":"other way then what like that no I'm not gonna have a dong or hanging","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":549.48,"end_s":556.76,"text":"off the side of my fascia board like that yeah you are no I'll put it on

side","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":569.1,"end_s":575.88,"text":"of things damn it buddy okay so it's gonna have to come down pretty low to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":573.72,"end_s":579.6,"text":"make room for that giant shark fin isn't it where do you know what the what thing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":577.86,"end_s":582.8,"text":"the shark fin how does the shark fin actually go on","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":581.7,"end_s":589.56,"text":"here like that yeah just like that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":586.8,"end_s":595.22,"text":"oh my God just get

there any other wrong though are there any other options","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":603.66,"end_s":611.279,"text":"like let me double check our bearing the cell tower is basically like there okay","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":608.88,"end_s":615.0,"text":"so either Corner either side is fine put it on the back so you don't have to see","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":612.48,"end_s":619.5,"text":"it so much but it's right under the light and I can see it anyway why don't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":617.279,"end_s":623.399,"text":"you put it on that side then yeah sure you want to do it all right","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":621.36,"end_s":628.5,"text":"yeah let's do it there let's all right cool all right screw

test I've done like four holy bananas here we go okay it's starting the test my ping is three quarters of a second and my Jitter is over one second despite spending more money than I'd like to admit renovating my new place into the Ultimate Dream Tech slash Smart House we've discovered a pretty big problem that I might even call a fatal flaw that no amount of new paint 10 gig Ethernet or smart controls can fix see this zero bars of reception the cell service at this place is so bad that I can't even complete a speed test and half the time I try to make a basic phone call it'll end up dropping now fortunately we've found what might be one of the most clever pieces of technology that I've played with for a while that will hopefully fix the cell reception in here for good you know what it won't fix though my corny Segways to our sponsors like see Sonic don't grown Prime TX 1000 watt power supply features an 80 plus titanium efficiency rating hybrid fan control and a 12 year warranty learn more at csonic.com or at the link in the video description and I'm complaining though it's time to do something about it now when we bought this house last year it's not like I didn't know the sell signal was going to be a problem if you've been keeping up with these videos you'll know that this house uses hydronic heating which basically means that there's a ton of tubes running through the floors filled with warm water that's what heats the house it's great because it's super efficient and relatively low maintenance but it's not great because those tubes need to be encased in concrete on each level of the house which heavily blocks cellular and Wi-Fi signals now Wi-Fi was easy to solve we just added more wireless access points but with cellular it's a bit tricky I didn't really think it was going to be a huge deal as long as we had good Wi-Fi but the problem is that not every cellular provider or phone supports Wi-Fi calling and that doesn't help with SMS which is really hit or miss in inside the walls but that is still something we can solve we just need a cell repeater like we have at the office which is essentially a Juiced up antenna that you install at the highest point and then aim at the nearest cell phone tower that is then connected to points inside the building that will boost the signal for your phone the problem with the cell computer industry though is that unlike many other areas of Technology there isn't really a big DIY community and most of the whole Home Solutions are sold directly through installers which means that there isn't a lot of reviewers or reviews in general and a lot of installers sell only one brand of repeater that they absolutely swear by there's no Linus cellular tips if you catch my drift to add insult to injury basically every manufacturer seems to think that their cell booster is just gosh darn the best so how on Earth do you know what to buy we tried talking to the company who's doing the renovation on our house shermar and they said that after installing several different systems over the years specked by the installers that they subcontracted basically none of them ever worked as described because you see 99 of the cell repeaters on the market are analog and therefore subject to signal loss so they typically work like this the donor cell signal from the nearby cell tower is picked up by the outdoor antenna then that signal travels along a coax cable to an amplifier which boosts it then it runs along another coax cable to your indoor antenna which broadcasts the signal to your phone that means that regardless of the fact that you are boosting the signal there's going to be loss between that outdoor antenna and the amplifier and again between the amplifier and the indoor antenna then when you're talking about something like a small house or an RV the cable runs end up being pretty short so it's not that big of a deal when you scale up to say 5 000 or 10 000 or 20 000 square foot house or facility those systems tend not to work so great then we stumbled upon something way a cooler this is the cell Phi quattra system and it's digital that means as soon as the signal gets to the main router thing they call it a network unit the signal gets digitized and can be sent hundreds of feet over PoE Ethernet or kilometers over fiber with no signal loss to what is essentially kind of like how an access point would behave in a wi-fi system they call it a coverage unit though not an access point the coverage unit itself then amplifies the digitized signal and broadcasts it this allows them to use the Quattro system to Boost cell signals in buildings in the hundreds of thousands of square feet range it also means that if there's a certain carrier that has way stronger signal than the others it doesn't just get boosted to Infinity the system can automatically balance them on each coverage unit the guys at waveform.com Who provided us with this gear had us walk around the house and do a series of signal tests to determine the best place to put the antenna and that ended up being right here above the garage the bad news is that it's a little bit too far are from the mechanical room to run the cable from the antenna on the roof to their Network unit they want to keep that within about 100 feet to avoid too much signal loss because that's still analog so instead we're going to put the network unit right here in the garage where it's a nice short run then we're going to run our Ethernet cables which go to each of the repeaters or what do they call them coverage units from here and you can see the network guys have actually already run those for us so we're pretty much ready to go ooh I got one of the coverage units here I do not uh I do not understand this ventilation hole pattern does it look cool it does look cool that's probably what they were going for oh I also said just send us a bunch of cable just in case wow look at how it's a lot of conductor this is probably the craziest coax I've ever seen so what we didn't mention earlier is I reached out to probably 20 different cell repeater manufacturers and I didn't even get as much as a reply from any of them it was the same one I was shopping for the office yeah but I reached out to waveform who is a retailer and they got back to me like within 10 minutes they were like oh yeah that sounds awesome I'm gonna have good cookies here we are cookie oh is it actually a branded cookie holy crap that's a that's next level it literally is branded branded cookie okay last box that's another yeah okay please read I'll do that after we'll read that after we install it so we got another coverage unit okay attack another coverage unit yeah so we should have four the original plan was to do one per floor but I also asked them to send a fourth one in case we wanted to put it in the garage so we got our land in that's where our networking is going to come from the server room and then see you one two three four for each of the coverage units there's also a lan out maybe oh I think you can have multiple of these you can have like because all this land is doing is just the signal uh to the web panel to control it right um but like in a warehouse you might need a couple of these I guess that's fair yeah so what are we thinking aesthetically like we put a little shelf here maybe put actually maybe we can just do a couple L brackets we do like a rack mount UPS this little yeah one power goes out thinking a rack mount ups with just one of those 2u sure wall rack things and then this boy could maybe just go like right here we'll just whoa Linus is the reason I have trust issues nope there you go so do we do we bother cutting these back or should we just terminate them where they are and just leave a spool on the wall just do one of those oh that's super you know what you can do it however you want Jake apparently this is your project now the number of times I've been overridden on my own house he's got a wife and a employee Jake this is your idea of getting the ladder ready yeah where am I climbing to Narnia Linus you don't need either of those things yet oh I don't need the antenna yet well you want the J pool first right yeah that makes sense and where does it go exactly I was thinking we'll just put it on the siding up and then it'll just point that way kind of oh okay which wait which direction do you want to point that way that way roughly and this corner would definitely get better then so we got our Hardware on basically you can tighten these boys up when you're ready to lock it into place boom just like that I think we got to move the ladder I can't reach from here you're not going there you're going on the white on the white yeah on the top it's going to be hideous that's what I was saying we should put it over here I don't want to put it on the floor no it doesn't even fit look put it the other way then what like that no I'm not gonna have a dong or hanging off the side of my fascia board like that yeah you are no I'll put it on the siding oh yeah that seems adjustable you look adjustable well you look adjustable oh dang it you were always good at the short side of things damn it buddy okay so it's gonna have to come down pretty low to make room for that giant shark fin isn't it where do you know what the what thing the shark fin how does the shark fin actually go on here like that yeah just like that oh my God just get it Fuller full erect it's gonna be right under the light too oh I'm gonna move around my shark fin ah so it sticks off that way roughly hold on are there any other wrong though are there any other options like let me double check our bearing the cell tower is basically like there okay so either Corner either side is fine put it on the back so you don't have to see it so much but it's right under the light and I can see it anyway why don't you put it on that side then yeah sure you want to do it all right yeah let's do it there let's all right cool all right screw me oh they're on top of the mantle oh oh really Jake Andy can you see the screws no wait I got the muffler without going on the mat yeah okay this is fine all right it's on wow looks kind of gross I've only done this once when we did that ubiquity thing he doesn't play with poles often not my favorite way to dance you know okay how's it look awful well yeah I mean but like foreign all right that's what I'm hoping all right time for this thick boy coax cable to go on oh yeah right so there's supposed to be a lightning surge protector doodad like right here and there will be once the professional electrician does all this but we're just testing for now it's a little discouraging is that it still shows this network unit is offline I think maybe it just doesn't turn online until there's a booster connected to it possible no stools at the new place but we do have extra spools of network cable left over so I'll use that so I'm just gonna Jam this up here I guess all right where's the uh indoor unit it's in there well you could have instead of standing there you could have gotten it yeah well this guy oh okay so maybe it just doesn't do stuff until it's plugged into stuff yeah maybe this was in the documentation that you like chucked aside at the beginning you can see the little Cloud's unhappy it's not connected and then if I click on the site the network unit also shows us not online still oh covered unit 2 connected enabled 2 in this system oh I can go plug it into two I guess no no I mean it doesn't matter like maybe it does matter but it's not doing anything port number two it says part two what hi so interestingly enough I moved the CO2 to just CO2 just so their match I think they're just named in here whatever yeah we're just calling this one cu2 it shows as link status connected let me just check cu1 which isn't connected and see if it also shows this connected or not oh it still shows us connected so that means nothing great we're nowhere like should I just call them and see yeah I think we should call them at this point um okay so what are you saying about once okay well I'm just gonna check it again now because something has changed we were just we were having issues getting the network unit to connect to the network I have four bars hold on I think it might be working let me go inside I turned off my Wi-Fi and it's time to go again here this is already better okay now we're talking no these are not the fastest speeds on the face of the Earth but wow is that ever an improvement over last time around that's awesome I don't even have that thing mounted correctly she messed with it it's off again Jake did you mess with it had four bars and then it dropped down to one okay super jankly connected right to the wreck let's see if it goes online my money is on this cable is bunk so we were just on the phone with the guys over at waveform because we were having some issues I think it's that there is a problem with this network cable because look at that active I mean this might have to update a sec but it shows the system is online we just plugged it in with a little shorty cable and now it's happy so Moment of Truth we tried the new connectors the ones that I brought from home but I had no trouble what it lit right up did it oh it did I couldn't see it from here let's see if it did it looks like it's doing though to clarify this is without even dialing in the antenna position Moment of Truth oh yeah my Jitter is literally a hundred times better wow whoa 10 you can actually like okay I know like 12 megabit is not something to be excited about but you had basically zero before yeah let's see if you can upload come on show me the upload what oh uh okay brother I don't know how the math works on that that's an Infinity increase yeah yeah pretty much lost zero percent does it work then yes I'm honestly perfectly happy with this this is good enough to have like a video call I'd be like 20 up 20 down good enough that's great I'm stoked to tell you about our sponsor thanks to freshbooks for sponsoring
