BUILDING A HOME AND WANT A GREAT NETWORK?
We have some great resources for you:
We recommend running Ethernet cabling throughout your home during the building process to ensure you get cabling and Wi-Fi where you need it, but quite often there are things that overlooked. So you don't make the same mistakes, check out our free guide that gets you on the right track fro the start!

Finally, a tutorial that sets them up with the app and uses DHCP. Great Video and super helpful!
Oh great. Happy it helped you out.
Excellent step by step. Do exactly what he says and you are golden. THANKS!!!
Glad you found this helpful! Love the Point to Point systems. They work well.
@@ethernetblueprint So you don't have to have a cloud key or Unifi gateway?
Installed a few of these things... I love them, almost idiot proof.
Nice. I love them too. They work great.
You can just scan the QR code on the back of the unit with the UISP app and it will connect automatically and take you straight to the setup of the unit.
Never tried... I may have to try that!
Great Jo explaining it, works as a charm, thank you very Much!!
Awesome... Glad it helped!
Appreciate the video matey!! Made setting these up for the first time a doddle (I obviously tried without instruction first and failed! Haha)
Happy it helped. Hope your setup is working great.
I am assuming that you were the person this was setup for did you use a google wifi mesh? Did it work? I did not think there system would play well with a bridge? Thank you in advance.
P2P means "point 2 point" it does NOT mean point to multiple point (P2MP). P2P sends a straight shot signal from one end to the other where as AP (access point) broadcasts a signal for other devices to connect to (like a home router).
That’s a good call out. The units in this video can be in P2P Mode or P2MP mode. Maybe I didn’t make that clear. Sorry for that was the case.
do the devices connected to the receiving bridge (say a camera or other access point) show up in the Unifi network controller on the sending end?
As long as they are not behind another router, yes.
Those are not from Ubiquiti's UniFi line. Those are from the AirMax AC line for WISPs. Otherwise, good video 😊
Good call out. I should have done a better job on that.
I used to use these too, then i found that Microtik Wireless Wire KIT was better & cheaper. They also run in the 60g range.. BTW when you face them together like that in a close range, you overload the radio in them and can burn them out.
I like microtik as well.
What would be a safe distance to do the setup then.
Its perfectly fine to set them up that close for a short period to do the setup.. Ive done MANY of these over the years without a single problem.
since you using point to point, why did you limit it to a 20Mhz channel, you can get more bandwidth if you allow it a larger channel. What is the largest channel width it supports?
This video was just to show how to set it up and connect. Typically, we dive deeper in the settings based on the needs of the customer. PtMP goes up to 40Mhz and PtP supports up to 80Mhz.
@@ethernetblueprint Yes, but if this is setup, that is part of the initial setup, in my mind. but thanks for the clarification on the channel width possible.
@@SydW01 Sure thing. I may have to do a part 2 or something. It hard to remember everything when I do these videos.
sorry i'm a bit confused. the POE ethernet connection between the POE injector and the disc carries power and data ? No need for two ethernet cables to disc ???
It’s a different voltage unfortunately. Poe won’t power it.
@@ethernetblueprint
What do you mean POE won’t power it? Your video clearly shows only POE connection to the unit itself from the POE brick.
@@sjbill1793 From what I read, it is a different type of POE passive?? 24v vs 48v. I think you could use "Instant Outdoor PoE Adapter" instead of a PoE brick that it comes with. (Hopefully, that's what I am ordering at the moment.)
I currently have 2 m5 set up for PTP. I think a storm took out one of the antennae's. I am considering a nano beam two set that come preconfigured. IS that plug and play or will I still have to configure to my routers?
it should be pretty plug and play if you buy them as a preconfigured set.
Thanks for this. Ubiquiti's guide is useless. One noob question: Why don't you slect point to point on both?
You would select that to create a 1:1 only connection between the nanobeams. However they will work as a 1:many which is how I left mine setup. I hope that makes sense.
The best! Thanks!
Glad you like it! Cheers!!
Is it working if I use only one NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 device and if I walk away about 300 meters and I can make a wifi connection and surf a internet?
I don't think it works that way. They are not designed to be wifi APs... You could look at getting an outdoor AC Mesh Pro/U6 Mesh Pro access point. I have tested them at 300 Meters and was able to connect... Your speeds won't be lightning fast at that distance, but you could surf the web and maybe even stream....
thank you!
You bet!
Here’s a stupid question. I have a neighbor living upstairs who wants to use my Internet connection, but the floor/ceiling between the two levels is too thick to allow the wifi signal to passthrough reliably. Is there a bridging device pair that transmits data between each other within a shorter distance, but can go through a barrier better? Basically I would put one device against the ceiling and its partner immediately on the other side on the floor on the upper floor. These devices will transmit at a very high data rate through a distance of a few inches. This way, I get fast data transfer via the bridge without running a wire from my place to the upstairs. If the frequency used by these 2 devices is high like 60GHz, a lot of data can be travel between the two ends, but because they are so close together, the physical barrier does not block the transmission.
I’m not sure. I will say that I shoot a signal over to my neighbors house that is 800’ away and it shoots through another house that is in between us. It works fine. So maybe. Question? Is there coax cabling that runs up between the floors already? If so you could convert that cable to Ethernet and share that way.
@@ethernetblueprint I love the DIY community and info, but to publicly share info on actual theft of services is a shame.
My family of 6 pays $64/month for Verizon Fios. We are online constantly for purposes covering every aspect of our lives. The cost of this service is not out of balance with the benefits of it. I didn't use Jedi mind tricks, or super negotiator kung fu to get this price that we've had for at least 6 years. I don't understand the "steal first" - think never" approach.
This kind of thing is frustrating as I sit and watch important sectors of our society crumble to this mindset (eg, surgical practices all getting gobbled up by healthcare conglomerates because the gvt-insurance complex makes staying private nearly impossible without hokey "boutique" extraneous endeavors).
I know, I know - I sound like nothing but a "merit" whiner to the "I want more ... for free" mentality; I'll sound like a divine prophet to their progeny.
Does anyone know if I can use the ubiquiti "Instant Outdoor PoE Adapter" instead of the PoE bricks? Is it worth the extra $20?
If you are talking about the one on the UniFi site, (INS-8023af-O) it says it works with AirMax devices. So I’d think it should work.
Question on how to aim them better over a 500’ line of site, connecting to a ReoLink camera, we are not getting a very good reading, lots of lag time in the live video, thanks Btw, it’s a 2AC…
My initial guess is that with it being 2AC that you are getting some kind of interference. Is the signal between the two strong? How does the graph look? If you hook up a computer on the other end, do you get good communication?
Not a good reading, but we’re in the country, on a 200 acre farm…would it help to have my son climb up to one unit while I climb up to the other, so we can aim them better simultaneously?
Are there any hills or obstacles between the devices?
Nothing between them, a clear line of site. I guess I was thinking I might have to tilt them ever so slightly, one way or the other, assuming the bandwidth is not that wide and the AP could miss the Station over 500’…but I guess it’s not a thing, because I don’t see anyone messing with the angle of the discs other than setting them up in a very general position (opposite each other) initially. I’m using it at night to monitor a mare in her stall so I know when she goes into labor…
The AC2 unit have a meter on the back of them that tell you if you have them aimed right...Do you have access to one of them to see what that is showing?
6.47 minute mark in the video, the app recognizes the device. I am having an issue mine will not do that, using I phone. Any ideas?
So you connected to the wifi network that it broadcasts, but the app won't discover it? Have you tried hitting the + at the top to have it search for new devices?
Didn’t relise it sent 3 times.
Yes, it shows the device as detected. When I click on it it will only show info ip address,MAC address. Nothing selectable just a dead end
I have a TP Link Router and was thinking of installing the same setup from a home to a portable office 300ft away. will this work with my TP Link Router?
It should yes.
Throughput would be nice. 100m max?
It can do more than 100M. I push 300+ Mb through them all the time
Can that ubiquity send signals in like 2km.
If you are talking about distance, the Nanobeam 5AC can send signal up to 15Km with good line of sight and low noise environments
I just got these today and set them up. They are making a really loud sound that will not stop unless they stop talking to each other. Is that suppose to be normal? I did hear your antennas making that same sound. I'll add a video of the sound below.

You know, I have never noticed any sound... (but I am part deaf after my military days)
I am going to be refreshing this vidoe and have a brand new set to setup... I will listen for that. I found your post on Reddit too and you mentioned they were going back... where did you buy them from?
The should be extremely silent. If they are squeeling, seems like something wrong. I would replace.. it wont last long.
what a hassle
Oh its not so bad once you have set them up before!
you talk too much crap in between. just stay on point
I do talk alot... working on that.
wow... rude
He is trying to stretch the length just as YT "suggests".
