Re: low on budget middle of nowhere
said by newbiewisp  :i know im asking alot but please just think basic...low on budget middle of nowhere..thanks everyone. Feel free to use this...if you want.
It probably has virtually NO output power...which is something that you will need for reliability. Look at the spec sheet...it says that it is for extending to the patio...or garage. How far is that?
Not meaning to be "harsh and cruel"...but if you expect a "toy" to do the job...well, it just isn't going to cut it. I understand that the Deliberant is $180 but if you but if you use the Dlink and it doesn't work, then you have spent $101 for nothing.
The real truth is that you should be using a Smartbridges device for this task. Everyone will tell you that it is best to stick with the same brand equipment throughout a network, as "interoperability issues" are sometimes a problem. But that is even more money...
That being said...you came to the WISP forum looking for advice...we gave it to you. Feel free to try your solution. It might work. Regardless of whether or not it works, come back and tell us what you did and whether it worked on not. Feel free to prove us wrong...there are others in this forum that use Dlink and make it work. Our objective here is to help you make it work...regardless of what hardware you use.
Believe me, we have all tried these things before and we know better than most the "grind" that it can be to get things to work. The bottom line is that you have to stick to it and make it work...no matter what it takes.

| From the help of this forum i was able to put up a 40 feet tower on a top of a building using a 2" pipe with 12 cables for support.Set the airpoint xo and a 15 dBi antenna on the top of it.Mounted a satellite on the top of that building,while working,no safety nets ,no safety cables and it's about 45 degrees hot outside..connected 20 clients using only a pci wireless card using a 14 dBi backfire antenna.Being said all that...is because i like what John has just said..."The bottom line is that you have to stick to it and make it work...no matter what it takes."
Thanks John lol!!! |

You need to take a picture of this "arrangement" and post them here so we can see.
While I support the "do-it-yourself' way of doing things. I am concerned that you may be getting a bit ahead of the "power curve" here.
Forty feet of two-inch pipe falling down is NOT a trivial matter...I know this for a fact!
So POST!

| yes i would love to post some pics here...i'll show u some of the crazy things we tried to achieve hehe!!! oh did i mention while putting up that tower and all that cables...there are power lines around us  this kind of working conditions i can probably get sued in US if someone get hurt...but this is a third world country people don't mind get a shock of electricity sometimes in conclusion i think ill try to buy a repeater use a 15dBi omni, hopefully both side will be able to catch the signal...bytheway just to make u guys laugh a little...the repeater is going to be powered by a 2x20amp battery it will give us a few days to power it..since there is no power on the top of the hill,the battery needs to be replaced every few days by a newly charged battery..lol...no solar nor windpower(too expensive)
Always Live Life to the Fullest...Don't ever quit believing in yourself,
As long as you believe you can,
You will have reason for trying.
Thanks again guys. |
