218 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,900 This is so not a CAT 7 cable. 219 00:09:04,780 --> 00:09:06,680 Well, I guess it could be CAT 6. 220 00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:10,940 So what's the easiest way? 221 00:09:10,940 --> 00:09:13,500 Well, this door gets to be open a crack from now on. 222 00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:14,820 Is that gonna be a problem? 223 00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:21,310 That, my friend, is how it is gonna be to get good internet. 224 00:09:21,310 --> 00:09:25,860 Go right down here so we get a nice clean line. 225 00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:27,540 Okay, so I'm not sure about ideal. 226 00:09:27,540 --> 00:09:28,580 There's no location. 227 00:09:28,580 --> 00:09:31,920 Part of the problem is this structure is all concrete. 228 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,160 Concrete, concrete. 229 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,940 It doesn't look like I'm gonna have a choice. 230 00:09:35,940 --> 00:09:40,100 So either I think I'm gonna do that pillar on the second floor 231 00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:44,560 or I'm gonna run it to mount on this thing. 232 00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:46,380 What I might ask is, what's the priority? 233 00:09:46,380 --> 00:09:48,880 Because if the priority is the downstairs, 234 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:59,480 then I might be better off to go here. 235 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:06,020 That's what you get for having bad Wi-Fi. 236 00:10:06,020 --> 00:10:07,580 So one of the reasons we had to, 237 00:10:07,580 --> 00:10:12,900 spend so much on our access point was PoE, power over Ethernet, so that I don't have to run those 238 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:18,100 two wires. And what I like about the ubiquities anyway, is that they come with an injector in 239 00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:24,620 case you don't have a PoE switch. Do these two pronged ones work here? Oh, you have an adapter. 240 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:30,440 Oh, handy. All right. Did not count on that. So we might need to use some kind of adhesive backing 241 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:44,470 and I didn't get any extra. Oh yeah. I also need to steal one of your Ethernet cables. Okay. 242 00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:57,640 Now let's go plug this guy in. See if we got power. I might have to go switch those things 243 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:07,600 around. I always get it wrong. Any light? Oh, there it goes. All right. Now we got to get the 244 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:14,340 console fired up. Okay. So to configure the thing, we need to install the ubiquity controller 245 00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:21,390 software. So let's fire up this ancient Dell Optiplex 760. This is actually the computer 246 00:11:21,390 --> 00:11:26,630 I'll be upgrading and get it set up. Once we've got the controller set up, it doesn't actually 247 00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:33,370 ever need to interact with the controller. So I'm not worried about that. We just need to get it 248 00:11:33,370 --> 00:11:41,480 set up the first time. Who says text don't, you know, work out. No wonder they want this computer 249 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:50,980 upgraded. I can't even do anything in an internet browser. Even the mouse movement is slow. Oh my 250 00:11:50,980 --> 00:11:57,440 goodness. This computer needs more than just a new SSD and some RAM. The most up-to-date browser 251 00:11:59,540 --> 00:12:05,360 or something. All right. So per the usual, the ubiquity software is super easy to get set up. So 252 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,720 all we've got to do now is manually set up our channels, manually set up our widths. 253 00:12:11,260 --> 00:12:19,260 During the setup wizard, I was able to set up the SSID and everything. So what's left now then 254 00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:25,600 is to have a look at the surrounding area. And you can see that this is why I thought it was so 255 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,320 important to have five gigahertz. Cause actually from the, from the outside, 256 00:12:29,540 --> 00:12:35,920 from the backyard, there's a bunch of stuff in here. So stuff on channel six, seven, um, their 257 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:41,880 old Wi-Fi was on channel one, actually both the X, the repeater and the original access point were on 258 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:49,660 one. So they're just talking over each other, but on five gigahertz, basically empty. So actually, 259 00:12:49,660 --> 00:12:54,660 the only thing we can see right now is the one that I just put in. So we're going to go ahead 260 00:12:54,660 --> 00:12:58,560 and we're going to play around with positioning a little bit. We're going to make sure that from 261 00:12:58,560 --> 00:12:59,840 everywhere within the house, we've got a lot of stuff in here. So we're going to go ahead and 262 00:12:59,860 --> 00:13:07,820 set this baby up. All right. So here in the back corner, we can see there's a couple on channel 36 263 00:13:07,820 --> 00:13:15,660 from this neighbor, but our strength is still not that bad on five gigahertz. Naturally, this floor 264 00:13:15,660 --> 00:13:22,210 is all very good with the access point right in the middle. Even five gigahertz can punch through, 265 00:13:22,210 --> 00:13:29,280 you know, one concrete wall. Okay. Actually should be workable. All right. So way at the back is 266 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,260 actually quite a lot of work. So we're going to go ahead and set this baby up. All right. So here 267 00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:46,300 at the back, you can see what I was talking about with 2.4 gigahertz being completely congested and 268 00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:51,880 five gigahertz basically being our best bet to not be completely interfering with absolutely 269 00:13:51,880 --> 00:14:03,280 everything else. Yeah. You won't be FaceTiming back here. Ooh, Russian girls. So now that we've 270 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,520 determined the location we want, I'm just going to go ahead and set this baby up. All right. So 271 00:14:05,540 --> 00:14:11,940 I'm going to throw a little sticky note on here that has the admin password and all that good 272 00:14:11,940 --> 00:14:19,140 stuff. Actually, I'm going to put it on the mounting plate. Then I have double-sided adhesive. 273 00:14:19,740 --> 00:14:23,740 That's the best solution I was able to come up with. I got two different kinds. So I'm going 274 00:14:23,740 --> 00:14:31,200 to hedge my bets and I'm going to use half of each. While what I wanted to do to have it on 275 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:38,940 the bottom stair. Nope. Okay. This one. I'm going to apply pressure about 30 seconds. 276 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:51,840 Okay. Um, I do want to leave this like some kind of a knot here, actually. If the adhesive fails, 277 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,180 I don't want it to come crashing to the ground. So this is where my cable management tabs from 278 00:14:56,180 --> 00:15:02,160 upstairs come in. Straight lines are good. All right. How many times do I have left? Oh, nine. 279 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:21,600 So that is nine feet. Okay. So we're going to go every foot. Okay. Okay. So I think we're done now. 280 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:21,760 Okay. So I think we're done now. Our connectivity was pretty good to begin with. Now, this is all 281 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:21,780 because we're trying to figure out how to set up and put it back. The hardest part is getting everything 282 00:15:21,780 --> 00:15:21,800 All right. So that is nine feet. Okay. So we're going to go every foot. Okay. So I think we're done now. Our 283 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,500 Okay. So I think we're done now. Our connectivity was pretty good to begin with.
