Alex's New Minimal Home Network Tour: Gigabit Solar WiFi!

You still need 2.4ghz for legacy products such as simple smart home devices

Please do the rack 🙏🏻, you have to have a rack! 😀

Great work Mr. Alex. You literally motivate me through your awesome videos. Thank you sir.

What type of Microphone do you use, are insane

why did you ditch the ubiquiti APs

Alex, what are the max temperatures that you get in your loft? I've been thinking of putting together my own networking setup in my own loft, but I'm worried about the operating temperatures since it can get rather high during summer.

Brilliant setup, fascinating watch. FYI you're pronouncing Ethernet wrong.

does solar work fine fully

I Alxs was looking forward to seeing if you had a Video out on the S24 ultra if not everyblessing to U

Wow, I'm really impressed with Alex's new minimal home network tour! The fact that it's powered by solar energy makes it even more intriguing. It's great to see people utilizing sustainable energy sources for their everyday needs.

And not to mention, the gigabit WiFi is definitely a game-changer! Having a fast and reliable internet connection is crucial in today's digital age, and it seems like Alex has nailed it with this setup.

Overall, this tour showcases how technology can be integrated seamlessly into our homes while minimizing clutter. Kudos to Alex for creating such an efficient and eco-friendly home network!

CAT8 Ethernet patch cable up to 2000MHz

I don’t see how you protect your antennas from lightning strikes or any power surges from inside the house.

have you tried starlink yet? and why alta instead if Ubqity wireless domes??

A wooden rack isn't that bad of an idea... I have a wooden shelf not used right now and have my switches and servers on another shelf nearby sitting horizontally on it but now this has me thinking of using this shelf as a rack instead of my actual 25U rack.

I've been watching you for years and will never get over how you pronounce Ethernet and router 😂

"Ghetto" while laughing in Ubiquiti

I hope this guy stays indoors when its windy outside..

Good video Alex I may have missed it. I take it the network is set up as a mesh network?

I know it is just the accent, but 'rooter' and 's-er-net' just kill me.

The cable mamagement is shocking. External cabling not cleated, solor panels loose, cables just hanging not tidy, comms unit drilled to wood. Bit of pride in your work, especially if its your property youd go the extra extra mile.

Think you’ll find it’s a 19th century house as it was built in the 1800’s 😉

The 'ghetto' part is not drilling the rack mounted gear in to wood, it's the shit cable management mate

Alex, where do you get your cable from?

Alex, what can you do to get fast internet if you can’t get bt or virgin to the hosue ? What’s the other option ? Starlink ? Or what else ? Hell @techflow

this guy is a meme

Has dual wan become less of a dumpster fire on UniFi lately? Last time i tried it you had to arse around with ssh to edit config files to make it work and couldn't use multiple external IPs

can you do a detailed video on your isp do you still have it?

100 Megabit in the Uplink just amazing,here in Germany i can max get 1 Gig Down and 50 Megabit in the Upload over Coax 😢

Bro I beg you tidy the cabling up

The loft is gonna get too hot for the equipment especially in the summer.... i would look at some kind of cooling up there

The only criticism I have on this DIY home network… 1) you should always broadcast 2.4 and 5ghz, printers and some older devices do not have the capability of 5ghz, same to say 5ghz does not broadcast as far as 2.4ghz. 2) running external cable outside the house is a no/no to me, weathering, could be cut by gardeners, or if your shed broken into they could have access to your home network (crazy to think but you never know) 4) you should always lock down those ports one each switch and allow specific IP’s and MAC addresses if there are switches dotted around outside, shed e.t.c. 5) please put equipment in a rack please, if anything goes wrong it should be easy for you to diagnose.

Hello, can I get a bit of help from anyone living in the UK?
My friend looking for a new internet provider and I found a lot of bad review about virgin media. What are your experience with them?

I wouldn't use the word 'Renewable'. Wrong choice of words.

Filmed on the one day each year when the sun comes out in the UK.

You can gear up your old alarm system to send notifications by adding it into home assistant. Ypu can also get an ethernet dongle to set it up to your internet for live monitoring from services online for like 3 bucks a month

How much battery backup does the solar power supply have built in and how long will it power the network without sun.

Love the wooden rack. Nice touch.

What you mean about mikrotik ?

What is Efffernet?

All that gear and valuables in the house! Only to have one of the worst alarm systems on the market 🤣

One question: why didn't you use ubiquiti's APs?

Drip loop on external cables!

Only thing I disagree is that you should only have 5ghz as some devices still only accept 2.4ghz like some wireless printers

Nice setup bud, you just need to put a drip loop in your outside cable..
