Ubiquiti Nanostation Setup - Step By Step
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I'm setting up ubiquiti nanostation m2 for point to point wifi.
This allows me to cover about 1 mile distance of sending the signal.
It's for outdoor and indoor use.
If you are using other nanostation model, the setup and process more or less the same.
Where can I buy the product ?

Incredible video! You made the easiest to understand tutorial that I have come across. Excellent work. Thank you so much!
Painted my house and accidentally reinstalled the station (receiver) upside down right before 7 days of RAIN. Yes, it filled with water. After drying out my station, I plugged it back and came back to your video...your same video has helped me set up initially, fix the whole system when I stupidly thought "resetting" it was the right answer and now, when I stupidly hung my receiver upside down in the rain. I was able to reconfigure my receiving station (leaving the dry one ALONE) and in no time, the system was up and running. This is the MOST helpful video out there regarding internet bridge configuration. You are a GEM! Thank you! BTW people out there reading this...don't give up if your station fills with rain. These things are built like tanks!
Lifesaver! This was exactly what we needed and made the setup super easy.

If you have slow internet connection, try to increase the Output Power 11:20 a little higher if your M2 are far apart. Also increase internet speed from your internet provider may help. Good luck with changing out the ethernet cable. CAT5E or CAT6 will do.

Great video! I have a pair of LocoM5’s (same setup as M2) I am losing approximately 50% bandwidth across wireless bridge. (120Mbps to 60Mbps) Are the Nano’s bidirectional, or does the ISP need to go into the AP Nano? I can’t seem to find the setting that is incorrect. Distance is about 600’, I would think there should be little to no loss. Thanks for any help!

Hi there, would just like to confirm, I see on both A & B station you connect POE to "Main" port on both stations. So I am assuming its not necessary to use Secondary port on either A/B Stations at all?
Followed your direction except that I used one PC and one Mac computer... but followed all the steps. Works perfectly. THANK YOU!!! :) Also, it didn't take long at all -- maybe 15 - 20 minutes in total?

Omg! This is where I’m currently stuck. I don’t have a connector for my surface pro so had to switch after setting up Building A & try and use our old Mac for the building B portion. Any tips? I tried looking up other videos that use Mac as a setup but the IP address they used was different and I have not succeeded yet. I can’t get past opening browser and typing in the IP. It doesn’t open anything says it’s not connected to server. Thanks for your help and seriously the best video I’ve ever seen I think I would have had no problem had I not needed to switch comps.
I have both m2 locos set up with the distance about one mile. Both units light up as you've shown so they seem to be talking to each other. However, in building B or Station, my Linksys router will not connect to the internet. Any ideas?

when configuring, must the two nanostations (access point and station) be at the same place? or with the configuration settings go through if the two devices are far apart, let say 1km
So I configured both building A and building B as per your video and they both talk to each other, the IPV4s have been changed to auto-connect at both building A and building B's computer, but when I plug Building B's ethernet cable from the POE into my computer, it does not say I have internet like it does in minute 28:00 of your video. Please help!
Great video, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! Question, in other comments you mention connecting an access point to the nano station at building B to set up a WiFi network at building B. If I want WiFi plus hard wired connections at building B (hard wired Ethernet to a TV), would I have to use a switch and the access point at building B?
@UbergeeksBiz
2 жыл бұрын
Once you have the A and B working, you just need to connect a new router to B. The new router will broadcast WiFi and LAN slots for other devices. Or expand to a network switch for more LAN ports.
Must the SSID/password combination used to configure the Nanostation units be the same SSID/password combination used in my home?
How perfectly do they have to be aligned? Can one be higher than the other if say they are only 200 meters apart?

Hiya great video was very informative. Buut... I have programmed both nano stations and mounted them in their respectful places. But now I am not getting internet in building b. I have a UniFi ap outdoor setup but is showing a steady orange. Do I need to reset and reprogramme the AP somehow? Do I need to go to building A to do this? I can get internet in building b through the Ethernet cord into my laptop but when I connect Ethernet back to the AP nothing happens. Please help.

Thank you for your very clear instructions. If I want to use the station to transmit cctv from my shed can I recieve the transmission in two locations? IE at my office and at my house which are all in close proximity. Do I need 2 stations and 1 access point or 1 station and 2 access points.

A brilliant setup video, thank you for sharing. Is this the best solution to transmit the video feed from a POE IP camera to an NVR which is in another room of the house? I have used a Wifi range extender but the connection drops several times a day thus the NVR gets a wonky video feed.

Finally set up what I though would be communication between the AP and Station BUT although the new 'Ubiquiti' wireless network is listed, the computer will not recognize it and I can not enter the password. Must the 'Ubiquiti' wireless network have the same SSID as my main wireless network or can it have a different SSID?
Hi thank you very much for these directions. They have worked wonderfully, twice. I was up and running for about 6weeks perfectly and then lost internet without explanation. My devices were connecting to my router but there was no internet being received. I reset to factory settings and followed instructions again and got my internet back at B building. Now it has happened again that I have lost my internet again after about 4weeks of working perfectly. Do you have any idea what is happening? The lights on both nano stations are lit properly the whole time. So it appears they are still communicating? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

So can these plug into a modem and then you have WiFi in building B for all your WiFi compatible devices?
I get a huge drop in speed both upload and download speed when I connect my B station to a router and connect my lab top to the router's network name. For testing purposes I have both AP and station in the house. Access point A is connected to my ISP through my home router and station B is connected to a separate router where I'm connecting to.
once you setup both M2's, and they are mounted to a building, does the M2 on Building B act as an access point or do i need to provide an access point to building B for a laptop to have a wireless connection?
Will the base station (connected to the router via LAN) be broadcasting as well (have an SSID that other devices can connect to)? I am only asking this because I have two houses... that one that has the router (say house A) has weak wifi throughout due to it being a concrete structure... I was wondering having the router at the back of the house (house A).... connecting to station installed at front of house A (beaming to house B). Will people sitting in from of house A able to connect to said device for better service...

No. You cannot set building B as AP. Building B is Station, looking to connect with building A (the AP). A & B only talks to themselves. They cannot talk to other client's devices (like iPhone, iPad, laptop...etc). What you need to have is building B wire LAN out to another Access Point amzn.to/3gCeAN9 this will provide WiFi to your client's devices
