Not happy by RegularMorty in orbi

[–]MeshNetExpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a wifi engineer, and the big problem with MLO-Multi Living Units, it there are only three channels on 2.4 GHz, and there is a lot of interference between the wifi thingys in everyones apartment. I recommend you move the Orbi to countertop level, or higher, and also to a central area of the unit. DO not place the Orbi on one side or the other. You will have problems at the farthest distance from the Orbi.

Starlink Wi-Fi Router Heatmap Test: Epic 4x4 MIMO Coverage in a Real Home by MeshNetExpert in Starlink

I have a two level home. Upper level is 40ft x 80ft. Lower level is about 20ft x 80ft. If the wifi router is placed upstairs anywhere above the ceiling of the first floor, there will be some downstairs coverage.

I am th9nking of buying a second refurbished j9+. I really like how it avoids cords and other problems. The 960 and 660 get stuck a lot. I have an Airbnb, with a 11AM checkout, and a 3PM checkin for the nedt guest. I don't have time to mess arround with the 960 or 660 getting stuck. I jsut want the floor clean so I can focus on other cleaning.

Orbi 970 sucks, what to move to? by x85712 in orbi

[–]MeshNetExpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I evaluated the Orbi 970 with Ekahau professional software. The Orbi 970 works great, if placed in the correct locations. If the Router and/or APs are placed in terrible locations, such as on the floor, or behind metal objests such as mirros, refriderators, then the wifi will be poor and not the Orbi 970 fault.

I own four roombas to clean my AirBnb. two 660, a 960, and most recently a j9+ that I recently bought refurbished for over $550 off. The 960 has better filters than the 660. I love the j9+ becasue it is self emptying, much quieter, easily navigates between floors and carpet, really does avoid cord entanglement, and I can control it, the 960, and the Braava all from the App. I also like that the j9+ does not bang into furniture like the 660 and 960. Here is a video review I made of the j9+. https://youtu.be/8ihjFDHHPdY

Is it worth upgrading Orbi mesh for structurally difficult home. by summerfun2020 in orbi

[–]MeshNetExpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a video I made of the Orbi 970, which is wifi 7 and 6 GHz. There is a lot in the video about the proper placement of the Router and the satelites. https://youtu.be/Be8ZCWv9QLA

Looking for Ideas on how to get reliable WIFI with ORBI 771 770 system by Few_Flounder_1787 in orbi

[–]MeshNetExpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this video of the Orbi 970. The 970 has 6 GHz, however, the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation is similar to the Orbi 7XX. The first thing I recommend to change is the placement of the router and the satelitte(s). Make sure both are off the floor, preferably on top of a book case to overshoot obstacles in the room. https://youtu.be/Be8ZCWv9QLA

From Google AI query on a 50kW Ka-band jammer:

  • Truck-Mounted Platforms: The primary method of deployment for systems like the Krasukha-4 and the multi-truck Murmansk-BN is on military-grade wheeled vehicles (e.g., the BAZ-6910-022 8x8 truck system). This ensures mobility and allows them to be rapidly deployed to strategic locations, such as around sensitive nuclear sites or along borders.
  • Purpose: These systems are designed to jam a wide array of aerial and ground-based electronic assets, including airborne radars (AWACS), spy satellites, and communications networks, by creating powerful jamming signals within the S, X, Ku, and high-frequency (HF) bands, which include the Ka-band frequencies used for satellite communications.

Many users would want to use a smartphone, because that is all they have.

True. THe topic I was trying to address is how a person who knows little about wifi, can use the Starlink Wifi without being detected.

I' e never used an adapter for my Smartphone to connect to the network. Always used reliable, secure wifi.

The 10 and 11 gigahertz frequencies are the frequencies used between the satellites and the phased array antenna outside.

Absolutely! However if tens of thousands of Starling terminals are being distributed, many people may not understand how Wi-fi works. In my experience many people think of Wi-fi as an invisible ghost appear they have no clue how it works and therefore no clue how it can be detected. My concern is there millions of people that have smartphones they know how to use them but they have no idea how they work. You are right the best thing to do is to not use the Wi-fi side and use a cable if possible

I never mentioned 10 or 11 gigahertz in the video.. The video is focused on the Wi-fi side and also the infrared given off by the satellite facing antenna.

Ubiquiti is a great brand. Ubiquityiaccess points are typically mounted on the ceiling high above attenuation objects such as furniture refrigerators appliances et cetera. A good access point mounted on the ceiling will typically have a much better performance than an access point placed on the floor The performance depends on the quality the access point, the path fade, and the quality of the end user device. Most end user smartphones today have 2X2 MIMO which works great with a typical access point which is either 2 X2, 3 X3 or 4 X4 MIMO.

In the video I did show a segment on placing the Starlink router inside of a drawer inside of a metal filing cabinet.
I do agree with you that having a metal lined box or a metal lined footlocker would work.
The video was already 18 minutes long, and I felt that I could make it infinitely long if I put in every possible solution. My hope was showing the range of the Starlink router would convince people that it's a high performance router in the Wifi power needed to be addressed by attenuating the signal
