wi fi in shop

[Old Red]

I just installed the Orbi Wifi Mesh system made by nether. It is incredible. Check it out. Never could get wifi out to my garage and now I have it everywhere. I wold highly recommend anyone to investigate it.

$207.95 - not bad. I got two boosters for about $90 and got good wi-if coverage in the shop building and parts of my house where it was very spotty before.

Glad it worked out for you.

After trying extenders and antenna looking set ups that just didn't work, my wife went to the Verizon store and they sold her a Verizon Jet Pak for less than $100 and it works fine.I'm about as low tech a redneck as you will find and I have no trouble with it.Pretty much plug and play.

Listen to this guy, he know of what he speaks. Or you could listen to me as a former applications engineer for a telephone/data company for over 13 years and a telephone technician for over 21 years before that... either way you are going to get the same message. I engineered hundreds of wired and wireless solutions for business.

Both of these guys know what of they speak. As a network architect for way too long, and a former telco employee, you'd need a VERY special application to justify running a CAT5/6 cable or fiber to a barn today. Use PTP wireless (I like Ubiquti) and be done with it, more than enough speed for anything you're likely to do, reliable as ****, and you'll spend more on the cable to make the run (even if the labor is free AND you have all the right active hardware to terminate at both sides already). If you're **** bent on cable, I'd run single mode fiber, might as well overkill it all the **** way. But, this would be like a guy with a 1/4 acre lot asking for help selecting a 100HP tractor with a 15' batwing setup.

Reviving this thread for a few comments

<snip>Cell phones can get expensive quick (we use 500 gig of data a month, our cell phones allow for only 10.

I was in the "run fiber or cat 6" because of trees in the LOS.
Then along came Mobley, unlimited GB, 20Mb/s down, $20/month and travels with me.

I resemble that comment, I had a 1/4 acre lot and bought a 50HP Kubota
And before the Mobley I was ready to run single mode fiber!! Even though I'm only paying for 5Mbps over my landline ethernet.

But if your still reading can anyone share more experiences about running 900Mhz systems?

Nice for you.

Single mode fiber with predetermined lengths and passive optical splitters is the bomb for ruggedness, speed and security. Coop cam, greenhouse cams (helpful for spotting those rwaskelly rabbits, shop cams, front gate hd cam with 2-way communication are very useful.

Multimedia throughout the house and over to the shop...

How do I handle the internet when I'm outside working. Ha,ha - when I'm outside, the last thing on my mind is the dam internet. When outside - no internet, no cell phone - just me and Mother Nature. Holly creeping donkey dung - don't you guys ever get away from technology??
