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!!!
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!
My company uses watchfire/ignite op and have been looking for a video like this from them and they don't have one. I feel you have explained it way better than the actual company. I just wanted to say 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.
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 !
Thank you so much for you humble explanation, you deserved million of appreciation from all your viewers. you have really help me today for my examination. am a South Sudanese living in Africa..(.Basketball country)
@@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.
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!
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.
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
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.
@@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 ?
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 ?
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.
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 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
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!
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.
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?
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"?
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.
Really helpful video. Simple question: so to get wireless wifi in building B (I note you still had a LAN cable connected for building b laptop), do you need a router in building b? Also, can you run two sets of nano if you have two buildings to beam to? On our property we have Starlink (wifi5) in our main house and need to extend this to a studio approx 40m away and a cottage approx 30m away. Is 2 x nano set up the best way to go or is there a better way to do it? Also, do Ubiquity products work on both wifi 5 and 6? As the Starlink modem only has one output, do I need a POE switch if running two nano set ups? (I already purchased the Starlink ethernet adapter). Thanks in advance!
Добрый день!!! Пожалуйста подскажите: Почему при сканировании и поиске точки доступа "А" в списке найденных WiFi к некоторым точкам невозможно подключиться?
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
@@UbergeeksBiz do I also need to buy their router or any router will do (I have Netgear router that is not in use). I’m planning to broadcast from starlink (building A). So I plug in the first one into starlink router. And broadcast to building b and connect it to another router there.
Your video was very helpful when followed step by step, thank you so much! One problem is that it isn't shown or explained how to configure the WIFI router in the recipient building to the station unit on that building. I plugged the LAN cable from the POE into the WAN port of my router but what are my settings on the router to pass through the connectivity? Thank you
Once you confirmed internet going thru Building B by using hard wired from LAN to PC, then you can use any router connect to LAN. Router will be DHCP from ubiquiti B
@@UbergeeksBiz thank you. Does the router have a unique SSID for clients in the guest building or do I need to mirror the SSID used in the source building?
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?
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?
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!
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.
POE and LAN. The LAN port is to connect to your device in Building B. Whether it be another computer, a router or switch(hub) depending on what you plan to use in that building.
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
This is a very helpful video. What should I do for configuration if the only computer I have to use is a macbook pro, which doesn't have the option to plug in the LAN cable? I will need to be setting this up using my current WiFi and this computer - I don't have access to anything else. Thanks!
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...
A can only talk to B. A cannot broadcast WiFi for devices (iPhone, iPad...etc). If you need better signal in A building, you need a separate Mesh WiFi system to broadcast WiFi for devices. Recommend Google Mesh WiFi = amzn.to/3kMdTl6
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
How many IP cameras can I connect to the station using a plug and play multi-port POE switch. The cameras are powered by the switch. Thanks for your videos.
Hello I recently bought this two antenas and this is the only tutorial that works for me, but I have a speed cap, the network is 500 Mbps but it only transfer 10 Mbps, is there any config that helps me to improve internet speed?
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
1) can I set up the two units with only one laptop? 2) What step made the "b" building a receiving unit and not the sender. 3) do you have a video on how to broadcast the signal through building "B?" Thanks, great video
1. Yes, you can setup with just one laptop. 2. "B" building as receiver because device is setup as "Station". 3. No, I do not. But once you have A and B talking and working with each other, you just need another router in B building to broadcast wifi
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?
You need to have a router in building B for WiFi. The building A (Access Point) broadcasting WiFi SSID - Only for B to connect. Not your iPad, or iPhone or...etc to join
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!
@@UbergeeksBiz No how do you log back into the antennas to change things later on say to update and stuff. Now that the DHCP auto assigns and IP address to it how do we find that and log into it
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.
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.
The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation 5AC Loco has a range of up to 15KM and has a throughput of up to 450Mbps. The M2 only has a throughput of up to 150Mbps. However depending on what is between the two buildings (eg: Trees, etc) that makes a big difference on what to use. If you have a clear line of sight between them then go with the 5AC. The M2 uses 2.4Ghz and can tolerate "some" obstructions where as the 5AC uses 5Ghz and for that it needs a direct "CLEAR" line of site. Good Luck!
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

Your video was very helpful when followed step by step, thank you so much! One problem is that it isn't shown or explained how to configure the WIFI router in the recipient building to the station unit on that building. I plugged the LAN cable from the POE into the WAN port of my router but what are my settings on the router to pass through the connectivity? Thank you
Once you confirmed internet going thru Building B by using hard wired from LAN to PC, then you can use any router connect to LAN. Router will be DHCP from ubiquiti B
@@UbergeeksBiz thank you. Does the router have a unique SSID for clients in the guest building or do I need to mirror the SSID used in the source building?
@@jdklein33 Yes, the router will have a new SSID and PW. You are not mirroring the SSID from building A
Fantastic video, thanks for the help!
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
Thank you sir! Nice video. Great explanation as well.
You are welcome
Thanks for that detailed step by step
No problem 👍
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?
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.
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
POE and LAN. The LAN port is to connect to your device in Building B. Whether it be another computer, a router or switch(hub) depending on what you plan to use in that building.
Will the internet at the farthest point still have the same SSID name as my home router?
Very good. Thanks and Regards from Germany
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
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
This is a very helpful video. What should I do for configuration if the only computer I have to use is a macbook pro, which doesn't have the option to plug in the LAN cable? I will need to be setting this up using my current WiFi and this computer - I don't have access to anything else. Thanks!
Hi, you need to have ethernet to configure. If you are using Macbook Pro. Maybe try this adapter: amzn.to/2OuTTGO
Great video. Am trying to set up a second receiver, repeating the same process. But it does not work. Is there something else that needs to be done ?
Second receiver ? Are you trying to have 1 A and 2 Bs ?
What does it look like to have a combo router/switch/WIFi AP instead of just the PC?
Thank you,
Great JOB , EXCELLENT tutorial
Great tutorial! One question: how much latency in ms does this bridge add for the distance you have to cover?
15-25ms
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...
A can only talk to B. A cannot broadcast WiFi for devices (iPhone, iPad...etc). If you need better signal in A building, you need a separate Mesh WiFi system to broadcast WiFi for devices. Recommend Google Mesh WiFi = amzn.to/3kMdTl6
great instructions - will this also work for the ubiquiti nanostation loco m900 ?
Yes. Same concept
Excellent work! very clear. Help me a lot
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
When the internet goes down, can you login to Nano M2 ? This is to determine which Nanostation is down.
I love u man keep more coming please I want a video for full fibre installation and running of cables
Will do
How many IP cameras can I connect to the station using a plug and play multi-port POE switch. The cameras are powered by the switch. Thanks for your videos.
As many as your multi-port POE switch can handle your IP cameras.
Hello I recently bought this two antenas and this is the only tutorial that works for me, but I have a speed cap, the network is 500 Mbps but it only transfer 10 Mbps, is there any config that helps me to improve internet speed?
thanks dear sir, it's crystal clear thanks again
You are welcome. Glad it helped.
Thank you!! Great video, very thorough instructions!!
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
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
Must the SSID/password combination used to configure the Nanostation units be the same SSID/password combination used in my home?
Can't nanostation from building A supply wireless internet to building B if the distance is short without nanostation in building B?
How perfectly do they have to be aligned? Can one be higher than the other if say they are only 200 meters apart?
1) can I set up the two units with only one laptop? 2) What step made the "b" building a receiving unit and not the sender. 3) do you have a video on how to broadcast the signal through building "B?" Thanks, great video
1. Yes, you can setup with just one laptop. 2. "B" building as receiver because device is setup as "Station". 3. No, I do not. But once you have A and B talking and working with each other, you just need another router in B building to broadcast wifi
@@UbergeeksBiz when you setup with one computer do you just unplug the the device and then start on the second one or does it need to stay powered up?
@@65052 You must keep the "A" stayed power. You need "B" to search for "A" to finish the setup.
puedes exolicarme que dentrdo de advance de la natena nano loco m2 sale Antenna Settings: vertical y horizntal PARA QUE ES?
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?
Excellent video, thank you. I purchased your recommended hardware. Setup complete, all lights on.
You need to have a router in building B for WiFi. The building A (Access Point) broadcasting WiFi SSID - Only for B to connect. Not your iPad, or iPhone or...etc to join
Are you sure there will not be address conflict on both router and AP ?
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!
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?
It's best to perform the configuration plugged directly into your computer just as the video shows.
Can you explain How logging back into the antennas will work after setting the IP4 back to auto and since they both will be running on DHCP
The wait time should not be more than 5 minutes
@@UbergeeksBiz No how do you log back into the antennas to change things later on say to update and stuff. Now that the DHCP auto assigns and IP address to it how do we find that and log into it
you can use the discovery utility tool of ubiquiti to determine the ip address.
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.
u r the best Sir!!
Thank you !
Excellent video, thanks for making this.
Jobsaver! Big bro. You did it
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
So can these plug into a modem and then you have WiFi in building B for all your WiFi compatible devices?
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.
what nano station do you recommend for the distance between 5-8 KM?
The Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation 5AC Loco has a range of up to 15KM and has a throughput of up to 450Mbps. The M2 only has a throughput of up to 150Mbps. However depending on what is between the two buildings (eg: Trees, etc) that makes a big difference on what to use. If you have a clear line of sight between them then go with the 5AC. The M2 uses 2.4Ghz and can tolerate "some" obstructions where as the 5AC uses 5Ghz and for that it needs a direct "CLEAR" line of site. Good Luck!
Am about to do a nano m2 p2p would I need help on it step by step again
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
Should the building B show a wireless network available on your devices? It would be the one setup in the nanostation.
B only catch WiFi signal coming from A. B cannot broadcast WiFi for you iPad, iPhone or laptop to connect.
Very helpful. Thank you for this.
You are welcome
