cmon i know this is the middle of nowhere but surely i can get bether than that
>turn hotspot 90 degrees
>300-400kb/s
ok cool

FUCKING WHY
Live in a goddamn forest with internet over cell ($80 cdn for 200gb, which is a whole other thread to complain about)

Same here but I get 180kb/s and from wifi 4km away my home.
Before I had 3G and I would get faster speeds of 300kb/s or so but that was was limited to like 30GB months and then it was super slow shit like 20kb/s for the rest of the Month.
Not that bad, with my current set up I get around 2mbps and I can even play online games with good pings. pinging googe.com (216.58.193.46) I get in average 17ms of ping times.
like the location more than fast internet
next step is definitely some antennas outside on a pole (directional?) since the little dongs on the hotspot can screw off
I've got the same setup but the cell towers are in my neighbour's field, its actually the fastest connection I've ever had
only problem is I'm capped at 100GB and anything after that is $5/GB which is some serious horseshit
>like the location more than fast internet
well sorry, but that's just the price you pay for being innawoods unless you're loaded enough to have someone install a line or whatever
main reason I couldn't live out in bumblefuck. once you're used to decent cable or fibre internet you're ruined on that sketchy rural wireless and satellite shit
Yep, I have a wifi setup but I'm pretty sure you can have the same setup but with a cell network.
I have a directional antenna on my roof that is aimed at the Wifi access point kilometers away which is a big tower with antennas aimed at many directions since it servers at multiple users.
From the antenna on my roof an Ethernet wire come down that gets connected to a power brick like device that powers up the antenna on the roof (it gets plugged to a power socket) and another Ethernet wire comes out of the power block that goes into a TP-Link router that creates a new Wifi AP in my home for wireless devices and also has ethernet ports for wired devices like my desktop PC.
I forget to add the power brick.
Sure hope you're not delivering a 2.4ghz signal over some piece of shit cable all the way to your roof.
Do you even know what PIM is?
>9 gorrillion hours in paint
How would I do it then?
Not him but can't you just use the cable of a copper cat6?
That's what I use, it also powers up the antenna.
2.4ghz should not travel long distances through a cable unless you have a PIM tester and an accurate compression tool, PIM rated cables, and low PIM connectors.. and that'll cost you over 80 grand.
Your AP/bridge should be at the antenna. Use a weatherproof box for the radio and only up to 5 inches of properly insulated coax for the RF. Ubiquity has units specifically designed for this, but you have to use their POE injector as it draws more power. They'll do 15KM LOS.

Up to 20KM LOS *
Why isn't anyone asking about the halogen lamp making his Internet faster?
sounds like mumbo jumbo to trick idiots into buying all this shit.
>yfw you're a brainlet who can't afford an $80 bridge and need a complicated duct tape solution that works 20% of the time
Exactly I'm pretty sure that was the main point of the thread
I've been using this for 4 years, the only problem I ever encounter was when after a heavy lighting storm the antenna had to be replaced.
It didn't even died completely, it would just drop connection every 20 minutes or so until it was hard reset.
oh and this was while playing a youtube video on my second monitor.
Nice painting
google cell repeater. had to use one in my old rural cabin for reception.
I pay 25 euro's for unlimited 4g+ (120mbit Max) and minutes and shit.
