How are we going to do this?

Linus' parents are building a sweet new off-the-grid cabin miles offshore of the mainland here in British Columbia, and while they've figured out power, sewage, and water, they left one thing for me: the internet.

I legit was expecting linus to run a 6km ethernet cable underwater.

[gobbel]

Always great seeing houses in the middle of the forest have faster internet connection than me in the middle of a major city.

[hilmana.w.]

I was semi expecting Linus to just roll an entire spool and a half of cables across, but this feels more like a Linus Tech Tips video

[flyonwall]

This video showed up on my feed and it was like a blast from the past. Just a little over 20 years ago I worked for a small startup company that provided wireless internet in upstate NY. At first, we were using BreezeCom panel antennas, and then we switched to using a parabolic grid antenna. We provided a whopping 3 mbps. In those days, everyone was on dial-up or DSL. The equipment was similar to the technology I field tested when I was serving in the Army Signal Corp in the 80s. As soon as I saw the picture of the distance and the RJ45 connector, I knew right away how the problem could be solved. Awesome video.

Linus’ parents: so we are gonna move off the grid so we can be secluded and serene.

Linus: cool story boomers, let’s hook up the WiFi

[pedrosilvaproductions]

His parents in 2060: we flew 80million kms to mars to run away from him
Linus' video in 2060: WE MADE INTERNET CONNECTION TO MARS TO MY PARENTS HOUSE

[SirVnt]

Linus' Parents: **makes a house thats off the grid**
Linus: "...and I took that personally."

[MadMovieMakers]

Gotta love upgrading your parents' tech!

[Spo]

Just wanna say I love the kind of variety LTT has started to throw in on the channel in the last couple years. I love the straight up PC tech stuff, but seeing you branch out into crazy stuff like weird networking projects and home renovations is awesome.

[d-gab]

I love how that guy knows his boss so well that he set up the segue to the sponsor so quick

[lonewulf]

As someone who has watched the evolution of these long-range wireless solutions, that is just impressive. The fact that they were being bottlenecked because of the 1Gbs switch is hilarious.

[MrDaAsif]

I'd love to see a follow-up, especially for like

- how it holds up in weather (Cascadia certainly known for rain...)
- how often it needs to be readjusted (I would worry about little bits of entropy causing it to be just off enough to break the connection)

[why]

ISP: "Can you restart the modem please"
Linus' Parents: "Sure thing, just give us 20 minutes to boat over to it"

[technerd]

"Bent, shakes, wiggles." You literally described EVERY scissor lift more than 5 minutes old.

[Takeen]

As a cell tower technician I'm happy to see you guys went this route! Every single dish on a tower basically does the same thing. If you want to install a cell signal booster look into buying a yogi to slap on thier chimeney and then a booster somewhere in the house.

[upnorthlivin]

Casually getting better speeds then I do at my house

[DreeftYT]

I will never NOT love these types of videos where Linus takes adventures outside the office. Keep up the great work, Linus!

[tylershaller]

Boat: *goes by on lake*
Linus' Parents: "Dammit linus! Our Internet is down"

[Lawgamer]

Linus’s parents: wants to be off the grid

Linus: lol nah

[Duckhook]

I get if you are already using Ubiquiti products but if you are just trying to cheaply get a remote building up EnGenius makes a Wireless bridge and the Pair costs about $200. My boss has connected up a ski resort with these for years. Stuck a bunch of antennas on the top of a mountain and could hit one from anywhere on the property. I have used them on a Golf Resort to get up remote or temporary structures. Like I said if you are already using Ubiquiti makes sense to stick with the product line but we have never had issues with these cheaper options.
