Ubiquiti Nanostation Setup - Step By Step
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2020
- 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.
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.
Superb job explaining step-by-step set up by an obvious professional. patient and thorough, thank you
Incredible video! You made the easiest to understand tutorial that I have come across. Excellent work. Thank you so much!
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.
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.
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.
I'm glad it helped.
Again fantastic video. You explain, teach, instruct, exceedingly better than anyone in your videos. You make a great teacher.
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!
This is a great tutorial. Super clear and concise. You're a great teacher. Thanks for your help.
Great tutorial! Very informative and helpful for those of us that are not network tech experts.
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Great video! Very helpful and informative with the step-by-step directions thank you
Very thorough and I am set up. Thanks for creating this!!
Amazing! This made my day. Was about to give up when I this video helped my. It works!!!
Thank you!! This video did everything but get on the roof for me. Terrific!!!
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Wonderful video you are the only person that explained everything
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
Very comprehensive and very clear explanations. Thank you very much.🎉
You are welcome!
Fantastic video, thanks for the help!
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.
Excellent video, thanks for making this.
Thank you!! Great video, very thorough instructions!!
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
Excellent work! very clear. Help me a lot
Thank you for the videos, they are very helpful and you are an excellent teacher.
You are welcome. Glad the video helped
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.
Thank you,
Great JOB , EXCELLENT tutorial
Thank you sir! Nice video. Great explanation as well.
You are welcome
Can I tell you something?, You are a great teacher, even a dummy will understand you. Thanks a lot
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 sir I'm very very happy & I'm from India
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
this was a grate help! thank you
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
What a phenomenal video. For the beginner, this is the best set up on UA-cam. 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!
thank you, what i didnt understand is which particular setting makes the two see each other, connect to each other. AP and Station
Thanks for that detailed step by step
No problem 👍
Very helpful. Thank you for this.
You are welcome
Perfect instructions!
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 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?
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?
Very good. Thanks and Regards from Germany
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
u r the best Sir!!
Thank you !
thanks dear sir, it's crystal clear thanks again
You are welcome. Glad it helped.
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?
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!
Must the SSID/password combination used to configure the Nanostation units be the same SSID/password combination used in my home?
Разжували прям до мелочей 👍
Thank you
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?
Usefull video!!! Thank you so much
You are welcome
How perfectly do they have to be aligned? Can one be higher than the other if say they are only 200 meters apart?
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?
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
Thanks so much for the knowledge.
Stay blessed
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
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.
Yes. You can absolutely connect POE IP camera and DHCP it. Will work perfect for you
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.
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.
Great explanation!!
Glad it was helpful!
So can these plug into a modem and then you have WiFi in building B for all your WiFi compatible devices?
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)
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.
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
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?
Very clear explanation
Glad you liked it
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
You rock!
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.
Hello and thank you for your very useful video. I have a question: I'm installing 2 nano Loco m2, it seems to be the same protocol as the nanostation, but I have an issue with the nano B (building), I can t select the nano A. It appears in the scan but there is no button to select it. What can be the cause? Thank you (sorry for my English I am French)
Make sure building B wireless mode is Station. And when you select the WiFi coming from building A, try scroll down and select Okay. Maybe your browser is too big font size and missing out the Okay button
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.
Does it gives you an IP conflicts if you set the same IP on both devices?
Are you sure there will not be address conflict on both router and AP ?
What does it look like to have a combo router/switch/WIFi AP instead of just the PC?
Jobsaver! Big bro. You did it
You are welcome. Glad the video helped.
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?
Very very good, thank you sensei
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
Lovely tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
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
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
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 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?
puedes exolicarme que dentrdo de advance de la natena nano loco m2 sale Antenna Settings: vertical y horizntal PARA QUE ES?
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?
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 ?
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?
Muchas grasias amigo , thank you very much my friend
You are welcome
thank you so much
Welcome 😊
Great tutorial! One question: how much latency in ms does this bridge add for the distance you have to cover?
15-25ms
Can't nanostation from building A supply wireless internet to building B if the distance is short without nanostation in building B?
Hi mate,
Thanks for your detailed video. I did a reset on my nanostation, and now i have lost access to it. Default IP would not work anymore. Have they become faulty? Please help.
Hi, try to reset again. But this time, press and hold longer than before. Also double check your PC IP address. You may need to setup static IP on your pc and relocate the Ubiquiti IP. Hope this helps
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.
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.
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
Hi guys. Would all of these settings remain the same on both the sending and receiving units if the receiving unit will have a WiFi router attached to it to broadcast in the remote location?
Thanks
yes
The setup I want to achieve is a little bit different.
I have internet at building A
I have a smart gate controller(connects by wifi no Ethernet port.) + cameras at my gate on my farm almost 1km away.
I also want to be able to connect to the wifi network when I am standing at the front gate from my smartphone or laptop.
Is this possible with 2 nano stations?
Yes. This setup will get what you need. In B station, get yourself a router for smartphone and laptop use
Am about to do a nano m2 p2p would I need help on it step by step again
Quite informitive
