WEBVTT

00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:06.359
okay so my original plan for these yes these right here these are this is some

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:11.639
cool stuff that we got going on right here was to share the gigabit internet

00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:18.480
connection we have here at the office with my house which is about 20 km or

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:22.320
about 13 miles away unfortunately

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.119
Topography is a I would need a 60 M

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:32.119
antenna tower here at the office in order to achieve that so we are going

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:36.600
back to square one with this video and we are going to structure this as holy

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:43.800
episode four yes we are already on episode four of this segment and we're

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:43.800
calling this one longdistance

00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:58.160
Wi-Fi the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly make your

00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:01.000
midtower PC case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories check

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.479
check out the link in the video description to learn more so this is the

00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:10.040
power beam AC a device that I assumed would be a lot more expensive than it

00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:15.080
was I mean ubiquity sent it to us so I had to look up how much it costs it's

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:18.000
only about 150 bucks and with the kit

00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:25.200
you actually get a variety of things you get this uh weather resistant plastic

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:29.960
shell cover you get this metal dish you

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.960
get this pole mount right here

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:39.000
uhhuh you get this fastening rear housing doad you get this thing which is

00:01:37.399 --> 00:01:44.200
like a mount for the other mount to mount the other thing with degrees on it

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:48.719
and then right here you get the antenna feed this is where the action happens

00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:54.079
you also get a power over Ethernet adapter injector thing as well because

00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:57.759
it is powered using PoE so on the side of this guy you've got your power as

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:03.439
well as your link indicator and then four bars to indicate the of the link

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:08.360
and that's pretty much it oh wait except you get two of them because the point of

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:15.560
the power beam AC is to be able to handle a 450 megabit Link at up to

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:17.480
25 km now we are not going to be able to

00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.400
mount these puppies up high enough in order to test that maximum range but

00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:25.800
what we can do is we can at least do a limited test here in the parking lot and

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:30.319
find out if the objective was to share a network connection with someone quite

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:33.120
far away whether it's a shed or whether it's a neighbor or whether it's from

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:39.720
your office to your house if you happen to live somewhere flatter whether this technology looks

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:44.280
pretty promising okay so the assembly process is pretty straightforward you

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:51.640
take your antenna feed and you no wait oh shoot I forgot okay

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:54.040
uh right you start with this

00:02:51.640 --> 00:03:02.440
bracket you take this bad boy and pop it under here it only goes in one way

00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:04.599
then yeah you pop this into

00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:07.599
here until it

00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:14.599
clicks there we go then you take your

00:03:11.959 --> 00:03:19.920
pull mount stick it through the thing and finally optionally you can put

00:03:17.959 --> 00:03:24.000
on the weatherproofing mount something that I would definitely recommend please

00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:28.000
note and this was pointed out to me by my editor the last time around when we

00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:32.720
did this before our SD card died that this Arrow corresponds

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:40.200
to I was sure there was an arrow ah this Arrow right here if you want it to go on

00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:43.280
relatively easily now normally you'd have some kind of a pole mount here so

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:46.640
you'd go ahead you'd put that on the pole and then you'd tighten it in and it

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.879
would grip like that but because we don't have a pole at least not that kind

00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:56.640
of pole if you know what I mean we're just going to go ahead and clamp it to a

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:58.680
c for our initial testing okay so the PO

00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:02.079
adapter here is optional if you have a power over Ethernet switch but not

00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:09.480
everyone has one of those so we're going to show it using the adapter yes we have

00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:13.879
power then from there without dropping

00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:16.680
it you plug into the network Port of a

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:24.360
computer so we're configuring our Internet Protocol version for settings

00:04:20.840 --> 00:04:26.800
192.168.1 anything other than 20 or over

00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:30.080
254 or whatever it is so I'm going to go with 10 subnet mask we can leave as

00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:34.199
default when you click it on there and we're going to set our default gateway

00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:40.000
to 192168 1.20 and click okay and check it out

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:45.120
we're logged into ros7 so the first thing it tells you to do is change your

00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:47.280
password I wish that more companies did

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:52.400
this where they actually force you to change your password before you can do

00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:54.360
pretty much anything else but they don't

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:59.720
and such is life so now what we need to do is we have to configure it with a

00:04:56.280 --> 00:05:03.120
static IP address that is on the same

00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:06.080
subnet as the rest of our Network

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:11.800
so uh let's make it that and configuration mode is simple we

00:05:09.479 --> 00:05:15.919
actually have to change almost none of the settings on this bad boy to get it

00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:19.639
up and running which is very very cool okay so now that we've Recon jiggered

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:24.280
our network settings we can go ahead and plug into an Ethernet cable that is on

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:28.080
the rest of the network that we want to share and then I'm switching back to my

00:05:26.440 --> 00:05:32.560
Wi-Fi here because I'm going to use this direct attach cable to set up the other

00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:38.520
dish in a minute uh but now we should be able to navigate to it at the new

00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:41.400
address that I've set for it

00:05:38.520 --> 00:05:47.240
Wicked okay so now that this is set up we're going to go to wireless and we are

00:05:43.479 --> 00:05:50.160
going to set up the mode so this is

00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:54.160
going to be station point to point so it was actually already correct the SSID we

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:59.840
can make whatever we want this is kind of like just a normal wireless hotspot

00:05:57.400 --> 00:06:05.720
um for all intents and purposes here then I am going to turn our output power

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:08.720
way down because we're testing at very close range here and I'm going to leave

00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:13.960
pretty much everything else on auto except security so I'm just going to put

00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:21.000
a rudimentary password on here which is better than nothing and I'm going to

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:23.080
save my changes so as soon as this dish

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:28.599
here we go detects long range SSID with the correct

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:36.199
password it should connect to it and we should have a link first we need to hook

00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:40.440
up the other dish or configure it

00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:42.560
rather ow a damn that hurt it is highly

00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:48.160
recommended to configure these while you are still very close to them not after

00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:50.240
you have deployed them 25 km apart okay

00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:56.080
so we're logged into our second unit now what we're going to do is set up our

00:06:53.479 --> 00:07:03.000
network settings uh differently from the last one so instead of 64 we're going to

00:06:58.599 --> 00:07:06.879
go 66 so we have to go ahead and put

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:08.759
this one then onto the main Network here

00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:15.280
we are very close actually okay so we are on our last step

00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:19.879
now we go to wireless on the second unit

00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:22.680
this one is access point peer-to-peer so

00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:28.160
the SSID we used was long range okay leaving everything on auto

00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:30.400
turning the output power

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:34.360
way down okay so the further the distance the

00:07:32.520 --> 00:07:38.360
more important perfect alignment is but at this kind of distance it really

00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:44.639
doesn't matter much so I'm going to plug in my PoE injected powered thing so this

00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:50.560
guy gets power and then what you should see on that side if you go around the

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:54.159
side of the dish is in a moment here the

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:58.280
link indicator should light up hey there

00:07:54.159 --> 00:08:01.080
we go all right rock on so now we've got

00:07:58.280 --> 00:08:05.759
a link let's test it so okay so now what we do is we go back and change those

00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:12.639
custom network settings we go back to automatic everything blippity blop done

00:08:09.159 --> 00:08:14.879
I'm plugged from the laptop into my pee

00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:18.400
injector into the dish which is connected to the dish which is connected

00:08:16.919 --> 00:08:27.440
to the server room which is not disorienting at

00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:30.639
all from there we should be able to get

00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:34.159
an internet connection

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:36.360
boom yeah baby all right okay now speed

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:40.919
test isn't always a solid indicator for us around here I don't know what it is

00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:50.279
exactly but the good news is that we're seeing very consistent results here at

00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:53.279
least we were and while not 450 megabit

00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:56.440
per second and the wow the upload is

00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:58.200
going much better than the down link

00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:03.120
that's very interesting we are still seeing speeds that are pretty darn

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:06.279
reasonable looking for our uh our Dish Dish

00:09:04.040 --> 00:09:09.480
Wi-Fi what else we got in here oh they have other tests too so they have they

00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:14.440
have their own internal speed test so you can go ahead and go oh yeah I want

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:17.480
to use this one here's my username and

00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:21.160
password and start and this will tell

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:24.279
you the just raw receive and transmit

00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:27.600
speeds between the two units and we have

00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:30.200
a solution this right here is a portable

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:35.040
battery bank doesn't look exceptional there's where it charges

00:09:31.880 --> 00:09:37.440
boom AC outlet so we're going to use

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:40.399
that to power the dish at the other end of the parking lot now there is one more

00:09:39.160 --> 00:09:46.480
tool we're going to need that I didn't show you guys before this is really cool

00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.440
this is the Align antenna tool so you

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:53.600
can see right here what the signal levels are in real time so watch as I

00:09:51.640 --> 00:09:57.800
move the dishes so they Point more towards each other

00:09:55.720 --> 00:10:03.040
and the theoretic

00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.040
signal strength

00:10:03.640 --> 00:10:12.600
improves ah and there goes my battery Bank oh I hope that didn't

00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:15.079
break okay a

00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:18.600
crap this is a lot heavier than I had hoped maybe I should help you no no it's

00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:23.959
fine I got this I get it camera people Union can't

00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:30.360
actually lift a bloody finger to help me with anything

00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:33.519
okay sorry I got this i got this

00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:35.320
okay so I'm just going to start

00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:41.680
hiking okay so with poor alignment at the

00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:45.079
lowest possible strength we are still

00:10:41.680 --> 00:10:48.120
seeing about 200 megabit per second up

00:10:45.079 --> 00:10:49.360
and down and that's with Ed standing

00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:55.880
right in the way of the antenna way to go Ed actually it didn't go down

00:10:53.079 --> 00:11:00.120
much so inside the building you had to make pretty big

00:10:58.040 --> 00:11:07.760
changes to the dish Aline m in order to really affect this here I am barely even

00:11:03.560 --> 00:11:09.959
touching it so here we are way down the

00:11:07.760 --> 00:11:14.240
road still enjoying that was pretty much the same

00:11:12.079 --> 00:11:18.519
speed test we were doing on the down link

00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:22.760
and however confusing this might be it actually seems to be running a little

00:11:19.959 --> 00:11:27.079
bit faster on the Uplink so there you go you can interpret that

00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:31.279
however you want I'm sure with all some tuning we could actually get better

00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:34.560
needs out of it particularly down there's probably something where I don't

00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:37.560
really know what I'm doing but in spite of ubiquity offering to have one of

00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:40.880
their Engineers help me I was like ah I want to see if I can do it let's see

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:48.480
what kind of a result someone can get just following the most basic rudimentary guide and there you have it

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:51.200
holy long distance 5 GHz like beam

00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:56.240
access point point too thing going on here very freaking cool so guys if you

00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:59.560

past also linked in the video description I mean can you imagine that

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.560
okay so so you know there's street hockey right so everyone's all like car

00:12:20.760 --> 00:12:26.839
so you got your like Wi-Fi dish going across the road it's like you're in the

00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:33.279
middle of a like DOTA match it's like hold hold on everyone hold on my car

00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:37.160
car maybe that's less funny than I thought it was anyway the third way to

badge and I think that's pretty much it so if you're wondering what to watch next and you're thinking wow these guys

00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:52.360
make great videos how about checking out the last episode of holy [ __ ] the one

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:59.120
where we checked out a battery the size of

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:59.120
me watch out for that truck

00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.560
hey we're trying to internet here
