@jacktherabit This is perfect and exactly what we need! Some of the other guys trying to join can really learn a thing or two from you!

This is what my LOS pics look like from the very top of my pole.

The red square is where i think you should be… Weird i don’t see any palm trees tho xD

I will get Solo to have a look and confirm that that is his site that you see!

But everything looks great so far!

Once solo has confirmed then you can go ahead and make the swap with @Gordon808 and get yourself one of these units to do all the routing and connecting the wug to your home network.

@Diabolix recommends this: https://scoop.co.za/mikrotik-rb750gr3-5-gigabit-port-soho-router.html

To get it at dealer prices you can use the CTWUG order form here: Ordering from Scoop - The full monty!

What do you think?

I agree with the recommendation made by @Diabolix, I own a 750gr3, Gigabit Ethernet ports and nice cpu :slight_smile:

yup thats me, you just see my roof no the right for that square. (however
dont want the pole up on that side as my cabinet is in the garage. which is
to the left ) if that all makes sense… lol.
but i think we will be able to get a good link going…

Need to check might have an old rb750 in a box here at work, think it had
one or 2 blown ports but other than that it was still good.

I would rather mount the mast where we can clearly see there is LOS, just lay a longer LAN cable. It shouldn’t be more than a 100meters. Just make sure you use proper outdoor cable with shielded connectors.

The RB750 sounds sketchy, if it was me I would rather buy a new Hex unit as it sounds like that unit might just give you (and the admins configuring your node) headaches in the future.

So heard back from Solo,

Circle is solo and square is voyager!

So this is great news and should be a really simple and easy link to setup!

I would definitely say this is all go from my side!

@jacktherabit We can make this happen!
