The Wavlink antenna sits on the outside of the potato hut and picks up the Gasthof WiFi. This is wired via ethernet cable and PoE (Power over Ethernet adapter) to the Netgear router, which acts as a switch and wireless access point. DHCP is done by the antenna. The antenna should be wired to one of the black LAN ports on the router, not the yellow WAN port. The Wavlink antenna is set up in "Repeater" & "WISP" mode. This is the only device seen by the Gasthof WiFi as it performs NAT for devices connected to its network. A device must manually login to the Gasthof network every so often, which autheticates for all devices on our network. In the past there has been an automated login script, but this is currently broken. +

Wavlink Antenna

+

Wavlink AC600, provided by Wookey in 2025. The IP address of this device is 192.168.10.1 and the password for the admin panel is the usual cavey:beery password. In order to configure to connection to the Gasthof, the mode must be re-set from the "Advanced" tab. This has been done and shouldn't need repeating unless the device is wiped or the Gasthof network changes. +

Running cables outside

The ethernet cable to the outisde is run into the ceiling vent above the kitchen and then out of the wall vent above the sink outside the tatty hut. The antenna is mounted to a screw on the wall near there. In 2025 the download speed achieved from this setup was 50-60Mbps. The cable was crimped after running through in 2025, and may be more difficult to run with the connector head attached if it is removed in the future.
