I have been knocked back for nbn wireless due to low signal strength.
My neighbor, some 100 metres away, in direct line of sight (we are rural), with nothing between us, may receive the signal and connect....he is awaiting his site survey.
If he used wireless when connected, and we shared the "network" via joint wep, would I seemingly be able to use it?
Is that distance too far to get it ( my laptop can receive my own adsl wireless signal from more than 300 metres away, I use a TP-Link extended 54m access point), or would speed drop dramatically with 2 users on line sharing?
Lastly, does anyone know if you can have two separate nbn connections on the one premise? If so, I could still get him to get a second installation, and I pay and wifi it to myself?
Thanks...

Look Here -> |
100 metres away is definately achievable as I shared mine across the canal at my place using Linksys product's WAP 54G are perfect.

Checkout out ubiquiti equipment, I have several wireless bridges up and running at over 5km Los with full speed, cheap to.

No problem at all using a wireless LAN, viewer.
The NBN (especially wireless) only provides a single service to a single residential address.
Shared apartment complexes, business centres etc, naturally have more access available.
Wireless NBN is planned on a finite number of 'users' on each tower, unlike a mobile phone/data network that permits anyone on the carrier's network to connect via any tower/base.
Yes, the more data used on a shared LAN may slow it down, depending on what plan speeds you have to begin with and the number of devices on that LAN and how intensive the data rate when all are in use simultaneously.... but it will work for you.
You just need to get on well with the person who's NBN network you are sharing.

The NBN does offer only one single service to a residential premises, but you can have more than one service via the ONT using the NBN:
UNI-D1 = Telstra
UNI-D2 = Exetel
UNI-D3 = IINet
UNI-D4 = Internode
I've done installs using the above mentioned ubiquiti units where there is 1 master and 3 clients, one of which is 400m away. The ubiquiti units are entirely weather proof and rock solid.
I'd sit down with the neighbour and discuss an unlimited 25mbps/5mbps fixed wireless plan and split the cost. This scenario is probably against the RSP's T&C's and if you are concerned about that then you could look at asking your neighbour if you can apply for your own connection via his ONT.

Thanks fellas...can you tell me what I would need if we wanted to do this?
I went to the site...
but don't really understand it all...does it need an antenna his end and a receiver my end? What would our lowest cost be?
At the moment, we can both "see" our own houses wifi's when we scan for each others wireless points, but naturally we are both encrypted/secure. Would more equipment really be needed?

You can get them a bit cheaper than that if you search around.
You'll need one at each house. They are an antenna with a built in router.
House with NBN = Router with WAN port (pppoe is a good option as some RSP's use this protocol), plug the LocoM2 into one of the LAN ports and point to your house.
Your house = LocoM2 connected to an access point or wireless router. You'll be on a different subnet which is good, so you aren't sharing LAN's.
If you get your own connection, your neighbour won't even need a router, as you could plug the Loco straight into UNI-D2, however most people would have routers installed.
The Locos run on POE and just need configuring, there are some really detailed manuals on the ubiquiti site.
You should get away with the whole set up for less than $250.
I wouldn't try and connect using standard wifi stuff that you have now. 100m is a huge ask for that gear.

I always buy my gear from city technology in Melbourne, great pieces of kit IMHO...

I use these guys, they are also good

Viewer, How weird is Radio when your only a 100 Metres apart that he MAY get a signal and you cant?
I shouldnt be surprised after my experiences when a 'Sweet Spot' was found to instal a TV antenna limiting it to a position between 1 and 3 metres from the ground and no more than a metre Left or Right of the mark.
The only freedom of movement is either towards or away from the transmitter so long as I stay in that 'Window'.
I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!
ncruthirdsshare (20-05-14),uahaleuamorg (19-05-14)
Not being technically smart, and reading this page/guide, and knowing nothing about this stuff, it seemed to me that only 1 unit is required, at the transmit end?
....is it something with an nbn wireless connection (if I was sharing his) that would necessitate us needing 2 units?
Thanks again...

That set up most likely wont work. While the nanostation will send out plenty of signal to your residential wifi unit, your unit won't be strong enough to send much at all back.
My laptop can pick up one of my nanostations 2km across town but can't connect to it.
