Ubiquiti Nanostation Setup - Step By Step
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- 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 ?

Thank you for the excellent tutorial! I viewed at least 3 other videos to help me setup my NanoBeam AC Gen2's without success. I followed your steps and it came up first time!!!
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
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!
This is how you explain things. Some other guys out there need to learn from this video. If you can't explain it you don't understand it.
Thank you.
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I upgraded my router and have been having a real time trying to get my Loco M2's to talk to each other again. I had been able to get them both online, but they wouldn't talk to one another.... I 'm not sure what step you had me change but viola they have signal!!! Now to just re install them on their respective buildings, re-connect the router in Building 2 and then update all the wi-fi devices. Again after two weeks you got me back on signal...Thank You.
This was an amazing tutorial. Thanks so much for not even missing a step!! So grateful !
Thank you so much! As a complete novice, I have been able to set up our cctv in our stables. Such clear and straightforward instructions. Thank you!
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
This is a great tutorial. Super clear and concise. You're a great teacher. Thanks for your help.
Thank you for going step by step in one continuous video tutorial. Watched several videos on this subject and yours helped me the most, much appreciated !
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Am so impressed. You took your time well to explain. You are a good and great teacher. Thank you very much.
You're very welcome!
Thank you!! This video did everything but get on the roof for me. Terrific!!!
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Great tutorial! Very informative and helpful for those of us that are not network tech experts.
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Again fantastic video. You explain, teach, instruct, exceedingly better than anyone in your videos. You make a great teacher.
Incredible video! You made the easiest to understand tutorial that I have come across. Excellent work. Thank you so much!
Superb job explaining step-by-step set up by an obvious professional. patient and thorough, thank you
Best setup video yet. No step missed. Great 👍 👌 👍 👌 👍 👌 👍 👌 👍 👌 👍 👌 👍 👌
Thanks
I still can't get mine to work
@@jlkkauffman7942 Which part you need help with ?
@@UbergeeksBiz thanks for your reply, I couldn't get them to prgram right I kept getting invalid ip configuration, but I finally got it but have slow speed and I just found out that some of my ethernet cables aren't making good connection so that was making it more confusing. I'm a farmer, not into IT at all so I had no clue, but I'm going to either get some new cables or try and put new ends on these.
@@jlkkauffman7942 Oh... this setup I did was actually for a farmer as well. He has acres of flat land and needed internet across the field. 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.
Can I tell you something?, You are a great teacher, even a dummy will understand you. Thanks a lot
Just ordered my new nanostations to get signal from my house to pole barn. Your detailed video will no doubt be much needed help to get things set up. Thank you!
Glad it helped
Thanks a lot for all the explanation. Very clear indeed. Help me a lot.
Glad it helped.
@@UbergeeksBiz Give small suggestion at 22:16, after select SSID better to activate Lock to AP (based on MAC Address). So, put in 68:72:51:7C:49:19 into Lock to AP. This process is to ensure that the station is connected to the correct and appropriate AP if there are multiple APs with the same name, namely PK-WiFi. What do you think ?
@@pipitkiswieantoro6753 Yes. You can do that AP lock the MAC address. Thanks for your great suggestion.
Lifesaver! This was exactly what we needed and made the setup super easy.
I'm glad it helped.
Great video! Very helpful and informative with the step-by-step directions thank you
What a phenomenal video. For the beginner, this is the best set up on RUclips. Could you do a video on how to set up to a UAP-AC-LITE/LR/PRO. Many thanks
Great suggestion! Will do more ubiquiti products
Good video for Sigle station setup. In most cases though one would want to setup an additional router connected to Building B. You should continue this video in that direction showing the setup on the new router.
Thanks for the info!
Wonderful video you are the only person that explained everything
This is absolutely the best video I've seen on how to hook up these units is it possible that you could do a point-to-multipoint video thank you
Okay, I'll try to do a video of point-to-multipoint
Very comprehensive and very clear explanations. Thank you very much.🎉
You are welcome!
Thank you,
Great JOB , EXCELLENT tutorial
Fantastic video, thanks for the help!
Amazing! This made my day. Was about to give up when I this video helped my. It works!!!
thank you, what i didnt understand is which particular setting makes the two see each other, connect to each other. AP and Station
Excellent work! very clear. Help me a lot
Very thorough and I am set up. Thanks for creating this!!
Thank you sir I'm very very happy & I'm from India
Thank you for the videos, they are very helpful and you are an excellent teacher.
You are welcome. Glad the video helped
Thank you sir! Nice video. Great explanation as well.
You are welcome
Hi and thanks for the tutorial. Once connection is established between the two units is it normal for the signal strength indicators to blink or should they always be on ?
thanks dear sir, it's crystal clear thanks again
You are welcome. Glad it helped.
Разжували прям до мелочей 👍
Thank you
Thanks for that detailed step by step
No problem 👍
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?
You are welcome. I'm glad the video helped.
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.
Very good. Thanks and Regards from Germany
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Followed step by step your setup instructions. Have connectivity between the two stations but cannot get Wi-Fi. Have good signal on cable coming from router but no internet at the station. What am I missing? Also cannot find the ubiquity network on my iPhone. I have the Unifi app on my iPhone and it does recognize the 2 devices.
u r the best Sir!!
Thank you !
Thank you so much for the video. My problem is : I forget the password to login the nanostation. How can I recovery it, bypass it or reconfigure it ?
Thank you!! Great video, very thorough instructions!!
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Very helpful. Thank you for this.
You are welcome
Excellent video, thanks for making this.
Good day everyone, I followed this tutorial and configure my radios, however I cannot access my camera on the switch attached to the station, I even tried to ping but in fact i couldn't ping anything on the station side.
Will the internet at the farthest point still have the same SSID name as my home router?
Perfect instructions!
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?
Can't nanostation from building A supply wireless internet to building B if the distance is short without nanostation in building B?
Does your computer have to be plugged directly into your router via ethernet cable when configuring your M2 or can it be connect via wifi?
this was a grate help! thank you
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
I love u man keep more coming please I want a video for full fibre installation and running of cables
Will do
Thanks so much for the knowledge.
Stay blessed
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Jobsaver! Big bro. You did it
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
What does it look like to have a combo router/switch/WIFi AP instead of just the PC?
what nano station do you recommend for the distance between 5-8 KM?
You rock!
I cant get mine to connect, was wondering in the video you put in 192.168.1.2 but in the browser you put in 192.168.1.20 does that matter ?
Добрый день!!! Пожалуйста подскажите: Почему при сканировании и поиске точки доступа "А" в списке найденных WiFi к некоторым точкам невозможно подключиться?
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?
thank you so much
Welcome 😊
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?
hello Please Quick question: Can they work independent of each other? say i just wanna use one as a wifi booster and i want a relative 1km away to just capture my home wifi. will that work?
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?
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.
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!
Great explanation!!
Glad it was helpful!
Very very good, thank you sensei
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Quite informitive
puedes exolicarme que dentrdo de advance de la natena nano loco m2 sale Antenna Settings: vertical y horizntal PARA QUE ES?
Am about to do a nano m2 p2p would I need help on it step by step again
It seems like you got these devises communicating with each other using two PCs. However, if you only had one computer, you would need to disconnect the one. so Im sure I follow how to do it with just one computer.
Very clear explanation
Glad you liked it
Does it gives you an IP conflicts if you set the same IP on both devices?
Thanks so much for the very detailed video. I'm having a problem accessing the app to configure the first nanostation. I've checked that the IP is correct but when using the Web browser the connection times out. Any ideas?
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.
Usefull video!!! Thank you so much
You are welcome
Thanks a lot,
Thank you for your great video. I had a question, I want building B to have WiFi without having to buy a router. Can I setup WiFi using the secondary LAN port on the nanostation m5 and buy a nanobeam and set it as an access point? Or what do I need in order to create that WiFi coverage in building B? If you can help recommend a ubiquiti model you use for it that would be helpful. Thank you again.
you can use the second port and connect an access point for your wifi.
You do not need to have second router in B building. You can have access point coming out of B building LAN port. Hope this access point ubiquiti help: amzn.to/354ndJN or amzn.to/2X5boPi
Lovely tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
thanks a lot....
Most welcome!
I dont know what I'm missing. I have this set up like the instructions said. I have tried setting the addresses to static and DHCP. I can see the AP and the station, but I cant get any internet when plugging my PC into the station.
Thank you for the video. I did the steps on the station and the signal lights blink 5 time then off a little; then blink again. What did I do wrong?
This is interesting, super detailed. I did all the steps but I am surprised I can't connect to the internet yet, it says "Denied access to the network" any help please
Thanks
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Muchas grasias amigo , thank you very much my friend
You are welcome
I cannot get this to work, I'm having issues and I litetally watched everything on youtube. I just can't seem to get it to ever work.
Which part you can't follow ?
@@UbergeeksBiz do you have an email ? I seriously need help
@@UbergeeksBiz I'm trying to do what you do. I have building A and the nanoAP is connected to my home 48port switch. The switch is connected to my router. Building B will have the nanoStation with a router connected to it followed by a 8port switch. I followed everything you did and watched many other videos on this subject and I just cannot get it to work. Both links are connected and super strong. I just cannot pass internet through the links. I have a CCNA so I somewhat know what I am doing, it's just I'm not savy with ubiquiti products like I am with Cisco. I'm sure it's something very small that I am doing wrong.
First, you need to configure Nano A and Nano B under 48port switch network to your main router. If you follow this video correctly, you should be getting internet from Nano B before installing it at Building B. Once you verified connection is working all under main router, you then move the Nano B to other side. And try again to see if connection still good. What I'm thinking is your Building B 8port switch and router is not talking to Nano B correctly.
@@UbergeeksBiz that is exactly the issue, thank you!
You are awesome and so is this video! A hundred times thumbs up!! As some others have commented, I am also using this to get wifi in B building. Do I need to also know the configuration settings to set up the access point for spreading the internet in B building?
Thank you for your comment. What you can do is to get any Router --> amzn.to/2M6zTtw and connect to Building B LAN port. Or access point --> amzn.to/3pskH8n and connect to Building B LAN port. Good luck !
@@UbergeeksBiz Thank you. I just ordered the router. I will let you know how the set up goes. Keep the videos coming. I haven't found anyone as thorough as you!! 😁And I loved the drawing!
@@nedthe3rd Thank you !
I set it up and it works great! I am getting up to 50 mbps across a 500 foot distance. I couldn't have done it without your help! Thank you, thank you!!🤗
@UberGeeks Please help! I can't log in to the nanostation now that it is set up. 192.168.1.20 says unable to reach even after setting that as a static IP adress.
Must the SSID/password combination used to configure the Nanostation units be the same SSID/password combination used in my home?
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.
What does this device do? I was asked by a relative to buy him this device because everytime i call him the call and the video quality is very poor and connection is bad! Does it help the speed? Is it like a modem or a mesh router? How can i send to Yemen through Amazon? Or if there's a better way to ship let me know. Thanks
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.
You can have 1 access point (A) and 2 stations (B)
Question
The wifi at my house is great. Strong signal. All good. My shop is 200ft away. Good signal outside shop but weak inside because it's a steel building. Do I just need one NanoStation Loco M2. Mount it outside shop. Power it up POE. Then run the ethernet from that to my wireless router in order to have WiFi in the shop?
You need two NanoStation Loco M2. From house (A) send signal to shop (B). From B, hardwire to a new router for WiFi in shop use only. amzn.to/3z0rNIy
thanks
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
How perfectly do they have to be aligned? Can one be higher than the other if say they are only 200 meters apart?
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!
Thanks for an amazing set up demo - my 1 question - does nanostation B require just the POE cable plugged in or does it require POE AND Lan?
I was wondering the same
Thanks a ton for taking the time and making this thorough video. I see a mode of AP repeater on Ubiquiti Nanostation device. If I configure Building B's nanostation Wireless mode as an AP repeater, would I be able to connect WiFi clients to this AP repeater using the same SSID that the two nanostations use to communicate to each other? I am trying to avoid having an additional access point in building B. Any thoughts?
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
@@UbergeeksBiz I'm getting a ssid broadcast but not able to connect devices refuse too. Any clue?
Excellent video! I used it last summer to bring internet from my home to a cottage on my property. Now I am hoping to do the same for another rental about 1/4 mile away. Problem is that it is up a hill in the forest. First question is do I need a clear sightline to get the signal and secondly, can I install two units in from one "building A"?
You are welcome. Glad the video helped. Best is to have clear sight. Yes, you can have two Access Point in Building A
