I have two of these that I'm going to get up and running as soon as I have time. Love the video!

I just took delivery of these units. Your review will sabe me time and help me a lot. Thanks!

Thanks for the video good job. I was hoping when you were showing the alignment tool that you physically turned the mic boom.

Very helpful video and simple to undestand. Thanks a lot

Nice to see final results at clients as well Tom. Oh yeah sux to be installing Sundays :)

Excellently, Awesomeness Video Bro!

Have a pair of these linking two of our top stations at work tem-permanently... They work great, we got a pair of gen 2's. They're indoors through 2 windows with moving carriers passing through the line of sight, and yet our VoIP phones are working just fine. Not ideal of course, but we had lightning blow up ( seriously, weld spatter on the metal enclosure) the buried cat 6 that someone decided to trench 8 years ago over fiber... Work great in sub optimal conditions, poor line of sight, 100+km/h blizzards going strong for 8 months now.

Thank you for the great videos. What’s the best equipments to use to transmit internet for a little over 1 mile away with mostly clear line of site, with few high trees in the way.

Great video thanks Question can use this point to point as access points for outside use and are they effective

Great review, thx

Yea that's very important to know as I'm hesitating to buy any of these cause I WANT the new version that has the POE Passthrough on the device! This guy posted his video in 2018 so he received an old version ugh.

Thanks for the video very informative

Could you use these as a separate network, say for instance using an Edgerouter x as a router and physically separating network and firewall rules to segment away from other networks?

I've been using two of these since beta, so about a year, to get internet out to the garage. Had one brick randomly, but Ubiquiti took care of the replacement. Not sure how you got your signal down to 40 dBm. Mine are ~20 feet apart and screaming at 30 dBm with everything turned down as low as it goes.

Super curious to the latency and especially jitter of the Gen 2.

Great video Tom, you mention documentation, what configuration information do you document

Added, outside of IP address, username and password, do you mean like which one is in which mode, just wondering I am setting these up for a client.

I did not hear you mention the surge arrestors - do you often use 2 per side? 1 on the mast and 1 at the entry to the building?

Would you get the same results in a four-unit Bridge that goes from one building to one building then to another building?

So you don't really need the wall mount kit when you want to screw it in place as you noted here @ 3:15 I'm hoping it holds well. I'm bolting to vinyl siding and wood.

Nice video! Keep up the good work! :D I have some questions to you because I want to setup a wireless radio link over a distance of 2.2km The problem is that there are 5-10 treetops between the two antennas. I am looking for the highest possible bandwidth on the link, but the most important thing is that it is stable and will work all the time. The mast the equipment are going to be installed on is around 20m high; therefore, low wind load is important. The two options I have found to be most suitable are: Ubiquiti NanoStation M2 2.4GHz or Ubiquiti NanoBeam AC GEN2. What do you think about it? Therefore, my question is really which antenna should I choose. As I see it, Ubiquiti NanoBeam AC GEN2 (5GHz) will have far better performance if it works with 5-10 tree peaks in between. Ubiquiti NanoStation M2 2.4GHz will probably work regardless of due to lower frequency, but at lower speed. Alternatively, is there any other alternatives I should take a look at? As the situation is now I don’t have internet access to my house….

Do I have to buy 2 or does IT work with a FritzBox (Router) as Transmitter and the NanoBeam as Reciever?

I just installed these yesterday, one on my barn (STation) and one on my house (Remote). I had to mount my Starlink Internet Dish on my barn as it has zero obstructions so it is my main location for the internet with the router installed in my tack room. These Ubiquiti units are now streaming my network and internet to my house on the 60Mhz setting at a 420Mbps link! I'm seeing a theoretical connection of about 250Mbps sustained easily! These sure did meet my expectations! My distance is buggy LOL..it's showing 0.00 inches or millimeters...whatever.

How much wildlife are you killing with this? You know they are not your usual 4 watt router. You are probably frying yourself, too. The only difference is that you deserve it. Too bad about any animals in the barn. Maybe you should get an emf meter and take a look. But that Starlink maybe will not be readable. I think they are probably frying your with 12 GHz or so. Fool.

Do trees mess with the signal What are the biggest issues with these units. on a large farm. I live in an area that is around 90 plus degrees during the day and up to 105 during the day. Does heavy rain cause issues. or high winds all the time.

can mobile devices connect to this access point or its for AirMax devices?

Will it go through trees about half a mile

I have these on 300meter link and can do max 210Mbps what do I do wrong. Must be the alignment for this perfect on such short range? I remember I set it on eye started with 40Mhz channel width and low power. Finished with high power and 80Mhz channel. My results are not very bad but I expected to reach 300-400mbps I see it is possible. But how? Many people struggle with speeds lower than me.

@techmaster170

It possibly could, but dont know how strong the signal would be. If you have to pass through some trees. I'd try looking into one that uses a lower frequency range. 5Ghz radio doesn't do a very good job at passing through objects. 2.4Ghz does an even better job at passing through objects. And if you are not looking for the absolute fastest speed, you can get these devices that operate in the 900Mhz range which will pass through objects rather well. I watched a video earlier where a guy used some that were 900Mhz and it was going through a bunch of trees and passing through his house as a test.

Great video! Would you be able to tell me why I cannot power the Nonobeam using my PoE+ switch (Linksys LGS116p)? It has an 80W power budget. The Nanobeam doesn't turn on unless I use the adapter.

What these people are not telling you is that these radios are for transmission lines and they have way more power that exposes you to excessive levels of radiofrequency/microwave radiation. Do not use these without getting an EMF meter to check your exposures. Wireless speed kills. Run the fiber.
