I’m surprised how cheap the antennas are. Which is still pretty great and I’m grateful for the upgrade. I’m told the link is good to 25 Mbit/s but I’m being sold 12/2 Mbps.
Pointed at the same house but that far up we’re above the trees, clear line of sight. Sent a guy 70 feet up a tree with a Cambium ePMP 1000, a 5Ghz antenna. That’s 300 megabytes / hour, and it sucks. The max link speed is 2600kbits/s, and the product they sell me only bursts that fast before throttling me down to 1000kbit/s. It’s been pretty reliable the only time my point to point link has failed has been in heavy snow, and then only because snow accumulated on the antenna. Cambium Networks hardware running Canopy, which I think dates back to the old Motorola Canopy days. The key thing about 900 MHz is it works OK through tree cover, something higher frequencies has a harder time with. My link for the last couple of years has been a 900 MHz link through oak trees to a house 1.4 miles north of me. It works surprisingly well and reliably, the main limiting factor has been speeds and the challenges of getting clear line-of-sight in a hilly area covered with trees. My ISP is SmarterBroadband, a wireless ISP that works by establishing fixed wireless links from house to house to regional distribution point to central office and then down to fast fiber backhaul. AT&T and Comcast refuse to provide wired service to rural homes and PUC and the FCC are not regulating their monopolies effectively. And 2.4GHz wifi is particularly bad in San Francisco, between the crowding, the lack of distinct channels in 802.11a/b/g, and the faraday cages surrounding all our lathe-and-plaster rooms.īut in Grass Valley wireless is the only option. I don’t believe in wireless communications. Fixed wireless Internet: Cambium, Ubiquiti Also my browser link history is gone forever, I’d sort of hoped that would sync through Google too. I got all my Chrome extensions back but lost the extension configuration state.
Happy to report that logging back in to Chrome restored everything pretty well. I’d also logged Chrome out of Google and wiped all local state, for my security.

Had to set up a new IP assignment on my router for the MAC address of course. Time Machine also expressed concern but offered to “inherit” the backup I had, which seems to have worked. I had to re-log in to all Apple online services. Which changed my machine’s identity for various things. Nice of them.Īnyway, a new system board means a new CPU, a new ethernet MAC, and a bunch of other small things. At no charge! Despite the machine being a year+ out of warranty. (Reading between the lines, a cooling problem.) Once they got it on the testbench the tech decided to replace the system board as well because it tested faulty. I brought my 2011 iMac in for repair, to replace a video card under an extended warranty program specific to my hardware configuration.
