thanks!

Rain should pay for such reviews because they are fucking useless

Thanks for the value!

thanks

Glad it was helpful!

@@ecologicaltime any chance there is someone we can contact who we can employ to assist with our installation?

Sir your wtsapp no plz?

thank you

thank you

Awesome! Thank you!

thanks. yes they block port forwarding.

? Sounds like he's from South Africa.

thank you, i posted two today.

I have upgraded to Rain 5G Premium from Rain 4G LTE. Installed the 5G Outdoor CPE N5368X router with IP 192.168.8.1 I still have 2 x Huawei B618 routers that I want to use as Access Points. The one B618 in the TV room, cable connected, works fine with the IP changed to 192.168.8.2 and DHCP disabled. The AC1200 in the passage, wireless connected, works fine WPS connected to the B618 access point in the TV room. The other B618 in the bed room, cable connected, does not want to work after setting IP to 192.168.8.3 and disabling the DHCP. I have tried various setups but can not get it running. Is there something I am missing?

@@stefannothnagel1363 Its not recommended to use routers as AP's

i have not tried that.

very good, thank you. This is true for all wifi connection to be separated in different bands to allow for more connections with minimal interference.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJqnac9hyNPafKs.html WIFI has limitations going through walls etc.

use wifi routers as gateways indoors. i use Huawei Honor Router 3's.

can use the pole for satellite dish

i would love to know as well

@@nthudzenimabidi8131 Hi, I've had the indoor router in my place for 5 months now, and have had no issues with connectivity and download speeds. The 5G tower is around 600m from my house. I'm on the standard package, R699.

yes, just point your gateway in your Dlink to the Rain router

yes but its always best to use Cat5e or 6 for longer runs as they are more immune to crosstalk owing to the twisting of the pairs.

you can try, the shorter wavelength is good for some applications and if you set up many networks, you can separate them in frequency. I prefer longer wavelengths

thanks. You can use high quality Ethernet cable minimum specification of Cat5e but preferably Cat6. If the cable runs undercover then normal copper is fine. If it runs in the sun, it needs to be UV resistant cable. Before running the cable, go to the site where you intend to do the install and do a test with your laptop to make sure you get the connectivity speed you need. Your other devices will be connected via the local switch/router. If your router is 100mbps then you may want to get a Gigabit switch for all your devises to connect to. If there is a power source closer tot he CPE device that is better but should still work from your apartment. I have not tested the CPE with such a long cable with the supplied power supply. You could test it by buying a 100m cable and testing it before you run the cable.

@@ecologicaltime hi, thanks for the feedback. I measured it more accurately and its a 48m long cable required. I was able to source Cat6A cable and this is probably a bit of an overkill. I have in the interim got a WIFI6 router with 4 x gigabit ports. I havent as yet installed the Rain 5G router to the top of the building. I have a question... at the moment when i do the OOKLA or Rain speed test from my balcony with the ethernet cable directly into my laptop i get 90-95 Mbps. When i run the ethernet cable into my new TP-Link Wifi 6 router, then the speeds go up to 160Mbps. How is this possible when i havent moved the Rain 5 router a mm and its still on my balcony?

its a flat building so its good. Better on the mast t6han in a cupboard as wifi signal reduces when going through walls. Roof tiles are thinner so better.

thanks. But did you pay for the home package or is your the premium. Did you see this video? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJqnac9hyNPafKs.html

On Premium package

do you mean for WIFI as an additional access point?

Think twice before you try them....service is pathetic.

Has it arrived yet?

@@BawlzOfuzz nope Service has dropped badly from the time they began

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJqnac9hyNPafKs.html For best results install outside and as high as possible. You can adjust the angle of the unit as well if you in a dip. If you get a switch, just make sure its gigabit per port and that every connection from the 5G router is gigabit to your gaming computer. If not possible, install a fast wifi access point but know there are limits with wifi.

i have not seen a way to do this on the CPE

@@ecologicaltime Thanks for the reply. I have found an article that indicated that you can go to the DHCP tab inside the LAN tab where the options are to change the device IP address etc. Then you can inspect the code and search for the primary DNS and secondary DNS fields which you will find to be hidden by a display: none CSS property. You can reveal it then and input your prefered setting. I have done that, but when I save it doesn't stick! So there's a way, but some default setting probably overrides it.

@@ecologicaltime Another thing I wanted to ask since you seem very clued up with this... I have had my 5G router outside on a 3-meter stand for about 3 weeks and consistently got speeds of about 250Mbps down and 45Mbps up. Yesterday I placed it on a mast on the roof like in your video (about 6 meters up) and now suddenly I am struggling to get more than 130Mbps down and 20Mbps up. What's up with that? I thought the extra high and clearance would help but it seems to have slowed down.

Your rain 5g signal "I'll be back"

wifi extender is fine - make sure it has link rate above 300mbps

i tried a Telkom sim card and it didnt work, however it may be because i dont know the Telkom settings. I think Rain use a VPN as their user IP addresses are private

"move it outside closer to the blue dot" - that's a joke by the way. Try putting it on a mast or stand on your roof and test it then see if its better

@@ecologicaltime i did it but 4g still not good

its IP rated and can handle outdoors. Best to mount high. Please do your testing with ethernet and not wifi as wifi may give you false results. Please check my video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJqnac9hyNPafKs.html

ecologicaltime Thank you for replying. I have put the router outside and high when i log in the rain website to optimize it keep on connecting on the antenna which is 1.2km away instead of the one at 0,75km. Using the huawei router website I am able to pick up all 5bars of the 5G and 4G but when I do speed test I am not reaching 100Mbps What I am doing wrong or which website must I use for the test?

Make sure you use the LAN/PWR cable for the power source and not the LAN cable, slight difference but big effect. LAN/PWR transmits both data and power whereas LAN only transmits data. Also ensure your cable click-locks into the socket

I’ve had the same issue since yesterday & rain isn’t responding to any of my query’s.

Also not responding to mine, not the greatest impression for a new customer

Experiencing a similar thing, my signal strength is good but the speed is 0.

I'm having the exact same issues

I have the same problem aswell.

not a big issue as the antenna is omnidirectional

Sim is inside the device, you'd have to unscrew the bottom panel to see it

not sure, sorry you would need to ask Rain. i dont see any reason why it wouldn't work. The sim card just allows you access to the network according to your profile.

i think you have the indoor CPE unit. Put it where it can have unrestricted access to line of site of the towers. Personally i prefer wireless radiating devises to be put outside.

did you hide the SSID?

i dont have a tutorial on that, sorry.
