My grandparents live in a rural area where their neighbors can get high speed internet, but they'e stuck on 1.5 mbps DSL. Long range wifi would fix this with minimal hassle and expense.

I would say you've already got this with 4G LTE and soon 5G microwave

 

These are set frequencies reserved for high speed internet

 

Check out some of these LTE routers

Would need to be uncapped LTE to do the job as my grandparents use Netflix instead of cable or satellite (albeit, at crap quality due to the slow DSL).

 

Edit: though my cell signal tends to be very poor there at best.

Some areas of the UK have had 5Ghz region allocated to mobile phone networks

 

Hence my concern

And

 

https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2017/07/ofcom-speeds-uk-wi-fi-networks-adding-5-8ghz-spectrum-

 

Fixed outdoor use in 5Ghz is banned 

 

Also this:

 

Says some equipment legal in the United States in 5Ghz region band C (5.8Ghz etc)

 

Is illegal in EU/UK without a licence

You can use 5.8ghz unlicensed indoors

 

Limited to 200mW power

 

But not fixed outdoors. Which you might be able to do in US/Canada.

 

Without a licence for UK

 

Also Linus sent his signal 12Km which implies he exceeded 200mW power at 5.8Ghz. As they say you can get 10km at 4W power.

 

I think what he did in Canada would be technically illegal in EU/UK unless it was in 2.4Ghz region.

 

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/manage-your-licence/radiocommunication-licences/fixed-wireless-access

 

Yup. Hence the whole "Consult your local authorities regarding public usable frequencies." statement .

 

Every country has different laws and the user must abide to them.

I'm in the UK and here the spectrum is heavily regulated. If you cause interference or use the spectrum allocated to others you can face two years in jail.

 

I realise wifi is technically 2.4ghz and 5ghz but it's also an offence to interfere with signals in the UK. So I was wondering if these would interfere with other people's wifi or radio.

First, my apologies. I did not have notifications enabled. So, I did not receive a notice of your reply to my post.

 

Just another reason I live where I do. Here, government interference is almost nil in our lives. In our particular area, we may be the only farm with proper internet access, outside of cell phones. 

 

I can't say for certain, whether they would interfere with other signals, or not. I would think not, though. In my case, one would be hard pressed to even find another signal in this area. I imagine, where you live, you probably cannot find many areas without coverage.

Regulation isn't "government interference"

 

Lack of regulation would mean my tv signal or worse yet ambulance and emergency service signals being interfered with.

 

Yes the UK is one of the most congested islands in the world.

 

From my rudimentary reading I could do what Linus did here in UK. But only in a specific area in a licence granted to me by Ofcom.

 

Which i would likely need to prove does not impact any one else.

 

I also could not use a fixed or permanent mounting. As of yet.

does anyone know how 100-200 meters connection throught those antennas would affect pings?

[TheTexasRAT]

There is a Wireless Bridging System (@ 900MHz) for non line of sight links up to 18 miles. Capable of link speeds of 150 megabits/second through some foliage and trees at moderate distances, heavy urban environments with wireless crowding, or any other line of sight obstructions that cause propagation issues with higher frequency 802.11A/B/G/N systems. It would be nice to see Linus Tech Tips do a video on this type of system please.

Can you give a bit more specific info about this? Like manufacturer and model number?

[bigmug]

I think this was the first LTT video I stumbled upon. And what a great start! Still one of my top five out of all!

In an epic 6 month saga we set out to beam WiFi over distances way farther than it was ever supposed to go.

 

 

 

 

Pretty old video

Point to point over long distances is easy.

It's all about the antenna.

Get a yagi, or heck, make a cantenna.
