Wire

I take it as a good sign when the wire for the driveway light project has to come freight.

APs

APs

I added an AP on the outside of the house today with a directional antenna aimed down the driveway. I would like to have complete coverage all the way to the gate, and this gives me about 30% of that.

When the AP is still line of sight I get a reasonable ~450mbit (1 gig internet connection) at 5HGz, but once it is completely out of view even 2.4Ghz doesn’t fare that well.

Next up is to finishes the driveway power and get the fiber pulled to the gate. I can then add APs along the driveway to complete the coverage.

That is a lot of current sensors. I should have no problem keeping up with current events. Hahahhha.

I have my wiring plan for the driveway light power distribution. Thanks to Eric Rosenberry for the consult. Anything I missed?

I got one of my wire antennas up today and connected up. I still need to get my hf9v from the old house.
