Its a checkbox and I am a Nerd I love that type of attitude!

Funny enough, I do install things like this for a living. But tomorrow I'll install the Outdoor 7 for the first time and I didn't have a lot of time to take a look at it. So I appreciate watching someone install the thing. 🙂

What a fun video and what a beautiful landscape. Keep up the great videos.

That Google maps measure distance thing is awesome i had no idea about it

I bet the llamas are happy with their wifi7 now!

I believe the reason the U7 Outdoor lacks the 6 GHz radio is because 6 GHz isn't yet allowed for outdoor broadcast (at least in the US).

Holy Crap I love your farm! So jealous.

With that weather Station, MAKE SURE IT IS GROUNDED!!! My workplace had one with a metal post and the grounding cable got disconnected.. the lighting strike went all the way through the Ethernet cable into the network rack. We lost thousands worth of equipment. Also look into Rj45 surge protection, and if you are using shielded cable make sure that the ground between your post and your termination point are equalized.

Wondering why @ 4:17 you were testing and the speed was 365 but on the new AP it was only 80, were you able make adjustments to get back to a similar speed ??

Retest with E7 : ) Let's see how that does vs U7 outdoor

Hi, I'd like to install a unify u6 Mesh pro or u7 pro antenna to distribute wifi outside on a large terrace but the cabling can only be done under the roof at a height of about 6 meter. I was thinking of using a ubiquiti ub-am support to tilt the u6 antenna downwards.
questions: is this solution viable with a u6 or 7 antenna?
If I use a U7 in directional mode with a maximum angle of 90 degrees should the positioning be on the corner of the house to cover the terrace?
If cabling is only possible in the centre of the terrace, is it possible to position two terminals side by side to cover 180 degrees without interference problems?
Thanks for your advice.

You should have tested 2.4 at the 200m omni antenna? Sometimes it's not about bigger number but stable number.

[over-engineered]

For the omnidirectional antennas to function correctly they must be in free space, i.e. not against a pole or with other devices close to them. The AP should be on top of the mounting pole with the aerials completely in the clear.

Hi! Nice video :) You should set your 2.4GHz network channel width to 20MHz for better compatibility, and your 5GHz network to 160MHz or 240MHz for maximum speed :) (80MHz should work well if your APs are close to each other due to potential interference).

There’s a terrible sound that ends at 22:48, lasts for a min or two before. Was that the music? It was a super high pitched pulsing sound.

Otherwise great vid! Just an FYI incase you have a stock pile of music to use lol

[mattg]

It is because the omni directional antenna is made to be the one UBNT sells and it screws into those two ports on the top. If they aren't screwed in you risk damaging the unit. If you use something other than the UBNT ones that is when you use the custom option. Not well documented but that is how that works. Outside I would almost always use directional.

Oddly enough you get better speeds in the middle of a field than I am on a plane 😁.
Missed opportunity to bring my pixel 8 pro and test out your WiFi 7 🤦‍♂️🤣

[SLnCe]

4:30 how do you test the speed of the different segments? When I do the speed test I can only test the speed of my device to the internet. It's that because you are using unify devices?

[nellyandbert]

Would you be able to test each of the WiFi 7 devices to see how strong the signal range is please? I am interested in the u7 pro, in wall, or the pro max as a 2 ap set up indoors.

Does it come with poe injector or I buy it separate???
