    5 mile Range Wifi advice

    Thanks! Will check it out. Have done some of my homework and am aware of Fresnel zone but luckily the Fresnel Zone issue will probably be the least of the problems on this project. FLAT terrain with NO trees and 40' windmill towers on both ends.

    5 mile Range Wifi advice

    Working on design of a solar powered install with an ASUS RT-AC66U router and IP POE cameras. Two options are connecting via long range wifi antenna or Android phone connection. The location has good cell coverage but also has nearly 5 mile line-of-sight to an antenna tower that will have...

    Windows 10 Pro, Dell Optiplex computer, an RT-AC66-U, 2 RT-AC68U's, and just bought an RT-AC86U.

    Getting invalid IP address message trying to set DNS using ASUSCOMM.com from AC66U tethered to android cell

    Getting invalid IP address message trying to set DNS using ASUSCOMM.com from AC66U tethered to android cell

    Unfortunately :( you are exactly correct! Thanks for confirming what I suspected, just didn't know the specific reasons. Was hoping to be able to connect to view/download security camera footage from 250 miles away. My internet connection is cell phone over ASUS router on both ends. Thanks again

    Getting invalid IP address message trying to set DNS using ASUSCOMM.com from AC66U tethered to android cell

    No it isn't. Would the IP shown by canyouseeme be the IP of the cell phone? Should I be trying to ping the IP address shown in the router for the WAN IP? Thanks for the help!!

    Getting invalid IP address message trying to set DNS using ASUSCOMM.com from AC66U tethered to android cell

    It looks like the "How To" has already been fixed for me, or more of my ignorance is showing ;). CanYouSeeMe.org gives me an IP address that pings, should I be able to ping port 21 that I have forwarded?

    Newbie at FTP. Is it even possible to setup FTP from AC66U when using USB tethering of cell phone to provide internet? Thanks
