Need to ground your exterior or you’ll be resetting it every thunderstorm. You may even have to replace it. I use the same extender they work great. But had to replace one that’s when I figured out grounding it works a lot better. There is a screw next to the cat6 port it says ground on it you can simply put a small piece of wire on it and connect it to your mounting pole.

Wow this video is so informative I want to do this at my dad’s church to reach all the buildings at the church, thank you for all of this information.

thanks for taking the time to share this informative and excellent video!

Thank you. Very informative. Will be using it on our own farm!

Great video because you actually showed the physical isntallation. Most videos only show that you need to instal things but they dont show to instal to jsut extend the signal

Extremely informative, thanks for recording/editing/publishing.

thank you so much for doing your video, it helped me understand how to set it up physically which I was having trouble with understanding the wires, but now I do.

Thanks for making this video and putting the links in. I've only watched 10 videos on how to extend wifi and they are not clear or want to sell you their version. thanks for making it clear for us. nice land. subbed.

THANK YOU!!!! That's the one I'll get! I have half of that distance to cover in line of sight. I was worried about buying one that wouldn't reach, now I'll sleep with one less worry. Thank you again!!!!

Just found your channel. Subscribed. You're working through many of the same issues we are. Thanks for the info.

Nice video. The Wi-Fi signal will reach much further if mounted higher above the building on an extended post. Wi-Fi signals travel outward and downward, hence the higher it’s mounted the further it will travel.

You made a very helpful video we are trying to find a better wi-fi solution to cover the mini RV campground

Okay, I had the same problem. I build a 32x72 shop in 2007 which sits about 120 ft from my home. The construction consist of 2x6 framing, R30 insulation, aluminum bubble wrap radiant barrier and 12g steel siding. Needless to say, no radios or phones worked inside. ...leap forward to 2023. I'm now retired and decided to put a Ham radio room in said shop. Checked with some local Radio Shack & geek types and they said the only solution would be to have a "bridge" system installed. The two quotes I got from them were $750 and $900. Then I talked to one of my nephews who's a school IT guy and he suggested a WAVLINK-600. Did some research and ended up purchasing the WAVLINK-1200 for under $120. Mounted it just inside one of my shop windows and now have nearly 100Mps internet service inside my entire shop...

Thanks for you video from Russia!

Perfect, thanks.

OzarksGo is fantastic! We just moved and have it in the house but my 30x40 shop is all metal and I get nothing in there. I’ll have to try this for the shop! Thanks!

Probably overkill for my deck to get wifi haha, But this was a great video from a full unboxing to installation and testing. Thanks!

by far the most informative video out there on this wavlink product. question: do you have to have it hook into your router via cable?

I learned My plan wouldn't have worked, so thank you.

Excellent video my man! this is by far the most basic and detailed explanation of how it works and how it is installed. Thank you very much for an easy to understand DIY video brother. The only thing I didn't understand is, does it come with the cable to connect to your router? And what was that second "router type Gadget with all those Connection ports to the left? I thought you just connected it directly to your service Router.

Muito bom, só faltou o teste de banda!

Brow, você poderia ter colocado um prensa cabo no furo que fez para o cabo da antena, ficaria melhor o acabamento. Excelente vídeo, parabéns! God Bless.

Thank you!

It's not about how far your wifi can get but the max -DB loss (max signal loss is between 55-65db loss) is usable for you to surf w/o having lag and drops of wifi connections to your devices (phone, laptop, etc). At two bars signal, you're at the max distance with that you will still experience lag and drops.

Спасибо! Крутое видео ) собираюсь себе на стройку такую же взять!

Thanks you ❤❤

Nice video. Since you hooked the waylink directly to you router via cable you can purchase another one and connect it wirelessly out in your next building out there and probably get wifi throughout the entire perimeter of your property. Off point, but nice frame job inside your metal building 👀.

I am trying to get signal from the house to a metal 8x20' shipping container converted to a small shop100 feet away. I may try one of these mounted at the house and use a receiving antenna at the shipping container. Good video, lengthy but good.

you need to check that the flat cable is sealing as it goes into the foam as it has round hole , also you need to do the collar up much tighter to get the rubber seal to seal it seems tight but mine still had a gap i used a strap wrench gently to keep tightening it until there was no gap an it was definitely sealing

You can add a repeater and boost that even more, a small solar panel with power bank to supply the repeater

I would recommend that you get a cat6 a line from the barn to your house and then get an access point in your house or get a PtP bridge

Can you comment on 1. The effect if any the metal barn had as far as a reflector for the signal and 2. Why you went so high? How much advantage the extra height gives you as opposed to say 6' up. Thanks!!!

These work very well but the wind will blow down the two lower antennas ALL the time when you experience heavy winds… I had to eventually tape them and even add a little JB Weld (ugh) …. They just started selling a new version (same company) AX1800…. A major major upgrade to what you have …. Look it up 👍

Couple of your antennas are facing half sky half ground, if you want long range towards the horizon they should have the sides of the antennas aimed at the target area. A donut escaping in a ring from the sides of the antenna, follow that donut straight out perpendicularly and you'll see where the strongest signal is. With the stationary ones on top I would angle the secondary ones slightly more towards the ground, but not by much, then I would radially rotate the adjustable antennas each about 15-30 degress clockwise to give a varied and consistent throw and angle of reception which may help a bit with fighting through the trees as well. Just random thoughts, great video!

In my corner of the world (MI, OH, IN) we pay about $6 per foot for directional underground boring, $2.50 - $3.00 per foot for a 36" deep trench and $1.00 per foot for overhead on existing power poles. Our fiber company 'gave' us the first 2,000 feet of overhead service and we had to pay for the remaining 300 feet. Our bill was $350 including the fiber cable. The drop to the house and the interior fiber run was 'free'. At the $40 a foot they want I hope they were including free cable service for the life of your yet to be born great-grandchild!

More range at peak of building and Ethernet over power line to trailer would be an asset and most routers can be reconfigured for wireless extender and lan ports.Even the cellular type with sim removed works

nanostation m2 2.4ghz is one of the best outdoor wifi routers for long range distance up to 1 mile

Great video. I have been looking to an answer for the same issue on my land. Question please which mode did you use Extender, AP, or extender? Wish you had included the setup on laptop more the product videos offered on line are not as clear as your explanations.

I would have used a pole drilling to the rain water gutter. That would have given you 360 degrees on AC1200. You have restricted signal against the metal wall.

Lets do it again -- I'm now going to install my own long range access point/extender. What would you buy today if you could start fresh.

I linked through your account and purchased this unit. For initial configuration I hooked the wavlink directly to my computer just like you did but it keeps telling me it is not connected correctly. I then tried it wirelessly and the same thing. "you are not connected correctly" Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Very helpful, did you connect the ground from the unit to earth?

Great detailed video. I need the opposite of this. I need something to mount outside my shop. Like this. But I want it to receive the wifi signal from my home. Then run an ethernet cable from it to the wireless router inside my shop so I can have WiFi... Any suggestions? Thanks.

When I saw the part where you assembled the antenna I instantly thought "Plankton!"

I am currently building on 10 acres of land. Fiber optic is not going to be an option there, probably for many years. I am on the waiting list for Starlink right now, but I do have T-Mobile home Internet, which seems to be working great! I am not incredibly tech savvy… but I’m looking at your video because I need to have much more range for other buildings that are currently on the property or will be on the property. I’m ordering the Wi-Fi extender that you linked from and the mount. As far as the router, I’m just wondering if I can plug that right into the T-Mobile router or if I need an additional router? does that make sense?

Did you not have to get on your laptop to do the set up? I just got one and it is not as easy as you made it seem

Did you buy the 50ft cable separately? Been eyeballing one of these antennas to get wifi to my shop. I think you made my decision to pull the trigger

So if I bought this and set it up on the roof of my metal building as a repeater, could I plug into the LAN port and run and ethernet cable to another repeater inside. The building is made of thicker metal that is blocking the signal from our small repeater we currently have outside so I’m try to find a way to remedy that problem

Ok thanks

I am considering buying this AC1200 product. Do you think the wifi signal from this outdoor antenna will penetrate a building with Hardieboard exterior siding, insulated walls with OSB on the interior, metal insulated doors (with no glass) and LowE windows? My workshop was built using these materials and is about 200' from where I plan on installing the antenna. I currently get a very weak wireless signal inside my shop from my house. I have fiber optic 100mbps internet feeding a wifi6 router inside my house. Thanks!

can you put this on a suv or car to get your wifi from your provider instead of buying another plan

does it show up as the same wifi network as the indoor wifi network? i have indoor and outdoor cameras that need to be on the same network to provide notifications

Does it compatible with AIMesh from ASUS ? Is it with Gigabyte port or only 100 mbit/s

Do you have to plug it into the router or could you use it as a repeater only with the power over poe?

You're who I want to be when I grow up. I'm only 74 this year, so I think it's time to start learnin stuff.

You don't have an extra couple hours to come to Maui and put one up for me do you? Just subscribed. Good luck to you and the Mrs..

Can you point the antenna in another direction to boost the signal? or can it go up through concrete walls?

Good vid what download speed do you get cheers
