Dude, I really want to thank you for this video. I've just set up these babies in a remote area, and there was nothing to guide me but the name of the device. I don't think I could have made it without you...
PTL for this detailed tutorial! The instructions included with these units left out some key details, like configure the units to communicate BEFORE mounting them up in the air 🤦🏼♂️
Thanks again for this! Very detailed and helpful.
Hi Chris, Fantastic video! I just bought these NanoStation locoM5s, for my in-laws, who live in the country. We are now able to send internet from the main house to the barn/shop, some 50 yards aways! I also placed a small NetGear router and gave them wi-fi! This was my first time doing these long antenna wi-fi devices and I'm blown away at how great they work! Many thanks!
How did you configure the remote router (is it also WIFI AP) to redistribute the signal to local clients in the guest building? Do you assign it a static IP or allow it to receive an IP under DHCP? does it need to mirror the SSID of the source network or have its own SSID? any other config settings? thanks
Thank you Chris am going to come back to you more on this as I need to setup my nano stations too
FINALLY!!!! someone who KNOWS what they are talking about and can explain it in simple easy to understand language! AND SHOW YOU STEP BY LITERAL STEP,,OMG. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!
gojoeyr I echo this man’s very aggressive comment. Thank you so much!
Very helpful video and it confirms that I was on the right path for selecting Ubiquiti hardware for a client solution. Thank you for taking the time to put this together! Thanks also for pointing out the need for a PoE switch as well as noting the window mount kit.
Our Ham radio club uses the Nanostation AC's on Field day to log remote stations 150 yards away to a central server logging station and they work beautifully with POE injectors and a 100gabit router.
This was a very good video. Exactly what I wanted when I searched. Thanks for the knowledge!
Thanks for watching!
Hello Chris, I just wanted to say a very big "thank you" to you for this video. The IT support firm we use were restricted from visiting my home during Covid and we have waited ages to have the Nanostations set up. I found your video and managed to do the whole job myself which they told me I would need their help for. If you live locally to me I would buy you a bottle of Scotch! Thanks again.
I just bought yesterday NanoStation locoM5 and I watch your video today. Now I clear how to setup wireless bridge using by pair. Your kind of explanations are very perfect and clear. You are the best, and thanks so much for your uploads.
Up till now after watching many videos finally I have someone who explains so amazing.
I would simply say Thank you very much sir for sharing your knowledge.
Today was my first PTP setup. I bought a pair of NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 dishes. I followed "your very easy to follow steps." It works perfectly. Thanks a bunch.
Simply majestic, what a spectacular way to explain clearly how to put these devices into operation. Thanks once again for these excellent lessons. You are the best teacher I have had in wireless networks.
Thanks for this! I just finished setting up a pair of NanoBeams to link two buildings today using this video as a guide. I love the Ubiquiti gear!
Hey Chris, Can you do a video on Traffic Shaping in airOS?
Can you set it up on the clients side?
Thankyou!!
Dude, thank you so much for going over this. Helps a ton!! Your whole YT channel is great thank you!
In lieu of these point to point wireless videos, can I request a short video describing the differences between all the "Airmax" products? Ubiquity's product page has a total of 30 "Airmax" branded devices. Obviously some are point to multi-point and some point to point but what about the other 20 devices? They seem a bit redundant with some of their offerings. Thanks for these videos!
Yup, same here. Trying to choose a pair to span 1.25 miles, from what I gather 2.4 GHz can travel further and through a couple tree tops? Goal is to get IP cameras at a remote location.
Thank you for posting!! Really helped me set everything up for work!
Hi Chris, in this video I see you enabled WDS on the AP but not in the station...is it the correct configuration? Thanks
That is not correct :)
Aloha Chris. Thanks for the video. I can get to the login screen of the M5, but when I put in the credentials, country, click the acknowledgement checkbox, and click the login button, the browser times out with an error that the address can't be reached. Any attempt to access the login page again fails unless the Nanostation is reset. I've tried this on Windows 10 with three different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, and Opera), with and with virus software (Avast) and Windows firewall, as well as on Ubuntu with Firefox. It's driving me nuts. Any ideas?
thanks so much for this video...it helped me tremendously...I was able to get my nanostations up and running with no problems..awesome video...very helpful...greatly appreciated
Hi Chris - I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you. I just successfully created a NS M5 Wireless Bridge. So excited. I need to get WiFi to the front gate of my property, no electricity there, which is 3/4 of a mile with a clear line of sight from my house. First step tested. Next an access point. Then a solar setup (those videos were great too). I think that this all might do the trick. Also, giving up on my current router. Have Ubiquity equipment on the way so that I can setup and manage a wireless mesh. Thanks again. Scott.
If possible, to explain how to connect CCTV in Point to Point
Excellent. This is still very applicable. Just set up an M5 wireless bridge using this today. could not have done without these well described instructions.
Thank you so much for a useful, simple to understand explanation!
Thank you for your fast respond, no one ever respond. You are the best, thanks again!!!
Excellent instructions got me up and running in no time at all thanks.
Great Video! In your experience, do the units have to 100% aligned to see each other or is there a bit of tolerance on the alignment?
Excellent video - keep up the great work. Couple things.. 1) do you use anything in particular to optimally angle the antennas to each other say they are at different elevations or you just kind of look and gauge it? 2) I notice you didn't set the Station to WDS was that an oversight or it doesn't make a difference?
Great video!!! Worked perfect. I was able to connect a remote dvr to my network that is about 1000' away. Is it possible to connect a second station to the same access point using the M5's? If so, would the configuration be the same just a different IP for the second station?
Thanks so much for the awesome instructions.
Hi, Chris, I hope you're doing fine. Thank you for so helpful videos as you always do. In this case I have two doubts.
1. when it says 15km range its linear range or its in every direction and the second one is.
terrain or area topography. Where I live is not 100% flat it has ups and downs, that affect in somehow signal strength or quality?
I'm planning to connect 6 surveillance cameras,once again Chris thankyou
great vid, looking to deploy at my nan's house and was getting confused as to what i might need, you're video hit the spot..thankyou....
Chris, as usual - I keep coming back to watch your educational video - THANK YOU!
Your video helped me deploy two of these for a job. Definitely enjoyed how clear your instructions were.
This is just awesome. Getting full knowledge in just few minutes. Thank you so much
Nice Info on the Setup
Thank you....
Hi. Great video. I’m in process of starting a security camera project that will require 25 IP cameras in a residential complex. The complex contain 15-17 buildings and there are trees in between the buildings. We’re planning to install a pole that is atleast 15-20 ft tall for the antennas. We were originally planning to install the ubiquiti Ns-5ac but after watching the video makes me want to change the design. What do you suggest? The cameras will be connected to a standard poe switch and up linked to the antenna on the roof. Would the m5 work? The main clubhouse where we will making it the primary location is located on one side and we want all the antennas to connect back to the clubhouse. Please let me know your professional opinion on this! Thank you
Hey Chris, Thanks for the Great video, However I am wondering whether this Nanostation M5 can be used as Wireless AP with two Different SSIDs. Thx
Excellent video, thank you. Way more detailed than anything on the Ubiquiti site...great job.
Chris this is the best illustration video on the internet nice and slow which is important for anyone who is configuring the nano station for the first time. thanking you Cathal. Mc Hugh
EXCELLENT! I got 2 of the M5 so I can setup security cameras in a 2nd building. What type of PoE switch is needed or does it matter? Can I use 2nd as a repeater does it have to be a station?
Great video. Should I disable DHCP or disable SSID on the router receiving the internet? This is where I'm configuring my first M5 as an access point
Have you had any issues with the system dropping WiFi? I’ve had this setup for a couple yrs now, your vid was awesome for helping me install. My WiFi in the house is always spot on, I’m slinging to my shop about 500 feet away. Had a Netgear Nighthawk router in shop that seemed to be dropping WiFi and had to be reset often, got a new Asus router and seems to be having similar issue today after being great for a couple weeks. Maybe my outside receiver antenna ? Sorry so long...
Been trying to set up these for about an hour, come on to RUclips and hey presto the easiest video to follow, thank you from the Wales (UK)
Great video sir!! I am going to grab a set of these to extend my network from my garage to a campsite across the road on another property we have and mount the receiver on my camper bus project. I now have a little more confidence on setting it up. Thanks, Tim
Great videos!!!!
I've used Ubiquiti since they first started offering consumer grade AP's(2004-2005)? And for the most part, they are fantastic.(Seem to get better after the years)
I've had a P2P setup on a site a couple years back, but this is my actual first go a setting up a P2P bridge myself, using two Nano M2's.
I've seen a couple of tutorials that lead you to turn off UBNT's AirMax proprietary protocol. And it has me wondering if, by doing that, not only would you have the P2P bridge, but would also shower that area in between Nano's, with a "WiFi" signal that could be used by mobiles?
I ask because my remote location is a full metal "shop" and my interior AP in the metal shop isn't going to do much good between the locations(only 300') .... I wonder if things such as mobile and VOIP phones can stay connected when walking from site to site?
Thanks again!!!!
You presentation does make a booster on the advancement on my beginner learning on IT
Oh man, thank you so much. I'd be totally lost without this video. 👌
I love the video just wish you had a little more about the aiming and more of a distance. I'm thinking of getting this because my rural WISP sucks and my friend has Cable only 8kms away. Thanks for posting what you have, best I've found so far and I've been looking for days.
Opened up my Nano's for my new barn and was like, I'm old and can't do this crap anymore....lol youtube and you to the rescue. I listened to you in 1.5x since this used to be my thing. Thank you!!
Thanks, Chris this is big talk, I had two access points that had lost configurations at the workplace.
no entiendo inglesh pero con el video me basta gracias ,me gustaria me hablaras mas sobre ubiquiti router lite
How do you find the default IP address if you dont know it already? I assume they dont all ship out as 192.168.1.20? I've also had customers who changed the IP address and want to change it again but cant remember what they changed it to. Is there a Ubiquiti app that find all their products on the network so you can find the IP address?
It turns out they do ship out as 192.168.1.20, and they default to that when you reset them.
Its a very old reply, but just came across your question. There may be a time when you don't want to default unit and are still looking for the ip address of the unit in question. Try downloading a free ip scanner to do this task for you, you will need to enter the range of ips you wish to scan eg. 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254 etc The more you wish to scan the longer it will take.
such a good video and explained very well .i have fiber optic cable in one building and on the other side around 200 meters away another building and fiber optic cable cant be run through the main highway . so i have plan to use the wireless system. my question is this that which kind of wireless system i can use alternate of fiber optic box ( ONT Ports). mean while how can i transfer my triple play package (telephone, internet and IPTV box) through wireless. please guid me in this situation . ???
I freaking love this dude ... made me look like a professional in front my customers... thanx brother
Exactly! Haha! Instead though, I hooked them up on tripods in my clients living room rather than outside to setup and demonstrate. Their outhouse was about 1/2 mile away, no LOS obstructions. It was a great day!
Hi Chris,
I appreciate your videos, they've been a huge help. I had a quick question, on the Nano you setup as an AP, did you enable or disable AirMax? I've heard conflicting info and did not see that covered in the video. Thank you!
+classicjag76 You have to disable AirMax - it is a proprietary Ubiquiti technology for when these bridges are talking to each other - not for non-Ubiquiti clients.
I need to set up an access point, to sent internet at a remote location, using two nanobridge M5, should I use the same exact procedure as described on this video?
Thank you! Would the NanoStation be used/useful with the CloudKey or does the NS allow you to remotely admin it on its own?
+jrmbtr NanoStation is not a UniFi device, so it can't be connected to the CloudKey.
Thank you for your reply on this! Greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the answer
May Master there is a way
I do not know the details
Perhaps using the device programming
Thanks for the great vid. I have two NSM5 stations which I'd like to to set up a private network for transfering video files to a number of devices.
I don't need any internet access. Can I do this without using a router and simply connect devices to the SSID of the stations? Do I need to use the router mode?
Thank You very much for a great video. You explain and show the setup so a layman as I can easily understand !
God Bless
Step by step and informative. Thank you for this video!!!
Hi Chris.
Love your tutorials. Easy to follow, in plain English!
I need some help or advice please.
I have tried to setup a p2p link using 2 Nanostation M2 devices.
I followed another tutorial as they were using the exact model. I did everything as shown in the tutorial however i am not getting any internet at my second site.
Also i want to add a switch at site 2.
I have a Netgear Wireless G router model WGR614v9.
Do I use the wan/internet port or disregard this altogether please?
Any advice or help would be much appreciated.
Hi
Great video!!! thx a lot
Can you tell me will it works roaming in an elevator shaft while broadcasting a security camera? Will i have amputations due to the elevator movement?
Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Mr Chris, great video. do have one question, once have the reciever programmed and hung in this case at my barn, it has to plug into power, and then the lan can plug into my computer out there is that correct?
Hey Chris, Thank you for your video and eyes on to how you put in the static ip address Your explaining is easy to understand , But now I need to figure out how to setup up a barn that has internet and shop that has hardwired internet, and a house wirelessly remote in line of site from barn.
hey Chris thanks for a great informative video, a question, are both of your switches P.O.E. In the diagram? If not where does the power come from? Thank you.
Perfect instruction video. Thank you
Thanks for your informative videos.. Helps a lot. Can an M5 Nanostation have more than one Station per Access Point? I'm trying to add a second station to my already working M5 in Access Point mode but the new station can't see the Access point. Is this possible to setup?
Hey, so I’m in a situation much like the first one you described (two buildings, apart). I already have one nanostation loco m5 so I would need two in order to get wifi out to my second building correct? Im just wondering where do I plug the actual units into when everything is configured and whatnot. Like where do I plug each nanostation in to, along with the expected power plug? Thanks in advance!
How about you read the user manual and setup guide... its rather easy and useful
Chris, GREAT VIDEO! thank you! However, who could I hire if I chose too? You mention what you would do for your customers. Who could/would do the installation?
Hi Chris, Thanks for the laymen's terms allowing us to understand. I am brand new to this so bare with me. ! I can get a location to install a modem to connect to the internet but it is 5,000-6,000 feet line of site to my house where i can not get service. What setup and equipment would you recommend so i can connect my laptop, phones etc wirelessly at the house end? Thanks william
Perfect thanks
Hi. Helpful video. Just wondering why does one need a ethernet cable run to the outside unit? Does that unit need POE? Thanks
Thank you Chris! A quick question though - Should WDS be enabled on the Station as well?
+Traci Walker I don't think WDS is used in a bridge scenario - that's more for a wireless mesh network. So - short answer - no.
Great video! I liked the in-depth demo format. Very nice. :-)
Your videos have been invaluable to me as someone who is new to the Ubiquiti line of products. I had been running Apple Airport networks for the last 8 years upgrading their products along the way. They worked fine until they didn't. Once I started getting all of "the internet of things" devices online, the network just started to fall flat on its face. As of two weeks ago, I'd never heard of Ubiquiti. Now I'm running a Unifi AC AP Pro, EdgeRouter POE-5, Unifi Switch 8-150W, and a NanoStation M5 Loco.
+Jason Young Very cool! Glad to help, and cheers!
Sweet!!!! You're the bomb!!!
Great video Chris! Greetings from Papua New Guinea. Thank you for sharing
Thanks heaps for your videos. I have setup my Hikvision secruity system with 2 remote cameras using the Ubiquiti aerials. Your explaination made it super simple and of course made it affordable for me to get a better quality setup. 👌
Thanks heaps. Your video is awesome. I have steup my M5's and they are communicating well, signal strength is very good. They are about 100ft apart. I have a Hikvision 16ch NVR and 6 cameras setup and working well on cables. I setup the M5's to add a camera remotely. I have no picture. I have the AP M5 plugged into the power injector POE port, the LAN port from the injector is plugged into Uplink on the switch and Port 1 from the switch runs to port 8 of the NVR. On the Station side I have the cable from the M5 running to the POE port of the injector, the LAN port to the switch (they say any port is fine for the TPlink TL-SF1005P) then the camera plugged in there as well. Any pointers would be appreciated. Cheers
Hey Chris, I have two Nanobeam AC's coming in the mail tomorrow and after watching your video I know it will be a breeze to setup!
I do have a couple questions though. The Nanobeam's each come with a POE injector and the units themselves only have one ethernet port. So, after everything is configured, should I still be using the POE injectors on both the Access Point and the Station?
I'm guessing it depends on how much power your switch or router has on whether or not you would need them? Would it hurt to use the POE injector if it wasn't needed? Thanks!
Hello Chris! I like your videos, they are awesome, good explaining for Ubiquiti products.
I have a question about Loco M2. It really annoys me the fact that i have good signal at the wi-fi router that i want to connect to, but i don't have the button to select it. Any suggestions? Other wi-fi signals that i pick, even with a lower signal that mine, i get the button to select them on the scan list, but not mine, and 2-3 other networks as well. Thank you in advance! I'm learning as i go, please sorry for my English and explanation of the problem.
This is a brilliant video - so clear and so helpful. Thank you very much
it helps me a lot and learning a lot with your videos, please keep them coming thank you.
Hey Chris, I know this is an old video, but it is still helping people. Do you have any videos that go in detail on the signal ratings on the dashboard, what they mean, and how to improve the link?
I have my link up and running, all seems fine, but I’m wondering if it could be better, optimized? Thanks from Oklahoma
great video! very detailed! Thanks a lot! i will be setting one up in the mountains...
Great video ... did anyone have issues when using an AT&T Uverse service ... seems it doesn't like the last step.
@13:09 for my reference. Use this vid infrequently so just need to make sure I don't miss anything. Appreciate the info.
thank you sir, this is very helpful lesson, i enjoyed it.
Will you see signal strength on the back of the station or just the access point? I have the power and lan light on the station, but have signal strength on the access point.
Hi Chris, Great video. I have a situation on a remote property where i need to set up a wireless bridge to two different areas, Do i set up the second station the same as you have done this video and say change its IP to 192.168.1.12 ?
THANK YOU Dear For that eassy free training specially its coming POE Adaptor going Faultiy when we intsall out side so within two month or some time unlimited power working if i change Poe power light is not coming complete even Adaptor is good ?
what is Problem Change airgrid ubnt or have some other Fault ?
Thanks Chris, you helped me a lot!
Thanks bro, you are the best!!
I want to
ask if it is possible on the station side to the secondary port nsm5 which so far
I do not use, connect an ip camera which will also use poe power supply (24V)
from the original poe injector supplied with nsm5. Possibly also with a recommendation
type of camera to the outdoor environment that would be compatible in this connection.
I want to monitor the surroundings of the house with a camera and I would like to monitor it through
application on mobile or pc. It would be enough to record on sd
card without using an NVR.
Hi thanks for your videos, really well made.
Just a simple question, can you just put the receiving NanoStation to act as a AP for wireless internet access with no lan on the other site?
Thanks
+Nuno Paulo Yes, you can do this. The NanoStations have an access point mode. BUT - I've never tried it (it's on my to-do list to make a video about this actually...I just haven't gotten to it yet). Thanks for watching!
good job to share knowledge for free
good job i actually feel a pro after watching this video.
