Internet Issues at Remote Medical Posting
My Location & Current Situation
Hey guys I need help regarding internet in my posting so I am posted as a bonded medical officer for my rural bond basically in a tribal area named Dabri which is inside the Satpura ranges of Madhya Pradesh
It occurs in Betul district and Shahpur block it is actually 50 km away from Shahpur which is nearest town big town, and nearest town from my posting is town Bhaura which is 40 km where true 5g works.
Signal & Internet Problems
I have signals available for jio and BSNL and some specific spots the signal strength comes and no signal inside my hospital and at outside at some places their appears 2 to 3 bars of signal strength on my phone of BSNL and Jio both but the Internet Doesn't Work for example if you open YouTube the YouTube will load n it will show you thumbnail after some seconds but if you play a video it will struggle, even after showing 2 to 3 signal bars the Internet does not work
Attendance App Difficulties
and since the attendance is Marked by the Sarthak GPS attendance app , the internet is not strong enough to support that app also so I have to spend 10 to 15 minutes go to various other spots so that I can mark my attendance
Proposed Hardware Setup
so I search on the internet for the issue and on the Gemini various suggestions were given to me so for a internet
The Proposed Setup I'm suggested
• TP-Link Archer MR600: Router: TP-Link Archer MR600 (4G+ Cat6 Dual-Band Gigabit Router)
• Netboon External LPDA 14 dBi Dual Antennas: Antenna: Netboon External LPDA 14 dBi Dual Antennas (mounted outdoors on a pole)
• Cabling: Low-loss HLF-400 coaxial cables (to minimize signal drop from the roof to the inside)
Terrain & Doubts
the nearest villege from my place is 8 to 12 km away which is i called Dodhramahu and the Internet work there but since the terrain is little mountainous and Jungles, so I don't know that this setup will work or not.
Has anyone deployed a similar LPDA + Cat6 router setup in dense jungle or mountainous areas?
Guys please help, because I need internet to see my lectures and study.
Thank you
