Ubiquity works great. That is what I use in all of my WISP systems connecting clients to have internet. 2.4 & 5.0 GHz. With no more trees you have I would say go with a airMAX LiteBeam 5AC Bridge. To get the max speed to the house.
My ISP uses ubiquity. They are connected to the backbone and provide service to numerous customers in several rural counties. I don't know what model dish I have, but it is pointed at an Access Point 2 miles across a lake and in the summer it's blocked by very thick maple leaves. The throughput is amazing. I don't notice degradation due to the tree, heavy rain, or snow. It's amazing technology.
They really do make a quality product! We have worked a fair bit with some of the unifi protect lineup (security cameras) and have found the ease of use, scalability and the fit and finish to be top of its class. We haven’t ran into an ISP that uses Ubiquiti products yet, only seen it in action on a smaller scale similar to this video just with a few more out buildings. Thanks for commenting Northwest Life.
@@AllMediaServices1 I live in Oregon and we have a few different small WISP's that use ubiquiti gear for all their customers, most of them are running sectors on the tower with a fiber back bone and then using airmax dish setups for customers, my in laws had a long shot of 15 miles to the tower.
Have always wanted to travel along the Oregon coast, it looks stunning out there. That’s great! Knowing Ubiquiti I am sure that has to be a more reliable connection on the customer side than some of the mass produced equipment larger companies use (at least in our experience). 15 miles is quite a distance! I wonder what the max is that they are truly capable of.. would be curious to find out.
Interesting! -- QUESTION -- How much faster would it be if you laid a 400 foot cable between the two houses? Say an Ethernet cable or Fiber optics cable??
I much prefer the fixed beam antennas from ubiquiti. The M2 style works, but the nanobeams do a much better job. I live in the country on the next road over from cable internet. Found a neighbor on the edge of town that would let me put a nanobeam at their house, so now I pump cable internet out to my house over about a 3,000 foot distance across some fields. Nothing I could get would be better.
@@AllMediaServices1 The longest I've done so far with the dish style antennas is 4 miles. The county garage was using a cell antenna for internet with no other option. Spotty coverage and data caps, etc. They had a huge radio tower to talk with their trucks. Put a ubiquiti dish on it, and one on top of the county courthouse where we had fiber. It was line of sight, but barely a few feet above the trees. 4 miles point to point and a throughput of about 250mbps. Ubiquiti equipment is the best.
So if I get a M5 and pointed at my Starlink dish, which is a new one all I need is 0:03 an ethernet cable and any router and I can transfer my Starlink signal to my second house thanks
You could have kept the dish, aimed it at your house and put the booster in it. That would boost the signal considerably! You would of course get the best result if you also installed a satellite dish on your house.
How did you connect this to the starlink internet? Through cables? I have starlink and i am looking for something to extend the wifi to a house i have less than 100 ft away from the router. How can i connect this to the router? I am not tech-savvy at all, i need help!
Thanks for responding on the Starlink Forum, I ended up over here tracking you down. M2 and M5 look interesting... not sure what you met by installing an M2 back in the first house.
Hello Bre, using one link worked well with 40-60 Mbps speeds, after installing the 2 links one at each house we were getting 90-110Mbps...so it is just to strengthen the signal and get better speeds. Will have that video out soon!
This is great! Does it mean that a WiFi signal is beaming across the property then? I have a similar home situation. A main house about 300ft from a cabin. In the main house we want to turn of wifi at night. In the cabin, they want 24/7 internet. I currently use a TP link router with satellite internet (our only option aside from starlink, but it's not that fast). It has a wifi on/off switch that we turn off at night to reduce EMF's while we sleep. I run a 300ft ethernet cable to the cabin so that they can use our dish but have their own account with satellite nbn (Australia). We want to get Starlink, but my Q is - can I still use my TP Link router to enable the same scenario - turn wifi off at night but share starlink with the cabin 300ft away via ethernet cable? Any knowledge you can share would be so much appreciated! Thanks!
They are pretty straight forward, setup in bridge mode with a static IP address and make sure they are both connected to the same network name, one will be the main broadcast and the other will station. Ubiquiti has some pretty good information on their site, always setup your devices on the desk before going into the field with them.
I never run off a router. They are not designed to work like that. Always run a dedicated ptp or ptmp. That setup do a ptp on a 20mhz channel and tune the output power to the mid 50's and the link should be maxed out at 144mb/144mb
Trying to share with a few other campers close to me. I've got a Ubiquity UAP-AC-M-Pro on a pole and it seems to work for one friend, but is spotting for another. Of course he's got an aluminum camper. We're going to try a UAP-AC-M outside his camper with an ethernet cable to a wifi router inside the camper. Any ideas for how to set this up? The UAP-AC-M can be set in mesh mode and I can point it to the UAP-AC-M-Pro for the link. I'm not sure if this is the best option.
Hi Openloopengineer, We haven’t personally worked with UAP-AC-M or the Pro. That being said if you can bridge the two together there shouldn’t be any reason you can’t utilize the gigabit Ethernet port that is built in to run a cat cable to a wireless router in your friends camper. With the Loco M series links once we have a bridge connection we can do exactly that. We have had a few cases where we ran an Ethernet cable from the link receiving the broadcasted internet into a switch as well, giving you multiple ports to work with. You will see some loss in overall speeds at the router but it’s not usually to significant. One thing you should do is login to the back end of the router that’s going in to your friends camper and disable the DHCP this will allow the router that is feeding the internet out to be the only device assigning IP addresses, default gateways and the like. That way the routers on either end of the bridge are not trying to fight each other. I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.
@@AllMediaServices1 It worked great once we manually assigned a static ip address in my friends Wifi Router WAN port. The UAP-AC-M comes up in mesh mode with the pro as the uplink. The UAP-AC-M and UAP-AC-M-Pro are about 80 feet apart.
I got starlink and want to get internet at another house 300 feet away. Do I need to get two boosters (one for original location and one for second location) and use existing router at second location?
The video mentions the idea of upgrading to M5 units for greater speeds, but wouldn't the M2 do a better job pushing the signal 400 feet and through the trees?
Your right Pete, the M2 does better at pushing signals through walls and brush and covering distance. The M5 if it has a good signal will make for a faster connection, using 2 M5’s as a point to point will also get through some materials, just no where near as good as the M2.
Do you have a link of the device shop or specs? I am planning to get starlink. I live in the remote are of the Philippines and i have to share my net to my neighbors that prolly 400-1000 meters away
Does having these 2 separate slow down the overall speed of the internet? We wanted to put an extension in my mom's shed for streaming but we don't want to slow down the speed of the devices in our home.
It can slow it down some yes. Depending on what you are using the internet for in the shed, it shouldn’t be to significant mind you. Starlink seems to be able to handle quite a few devices running at the same time from what we have seen. This video being a good example of sharing the bandwidth - one house had a couple in it and the other a family with kids and they haven’t had any complaints.
You can run an ethernet cord 328 ft it'll help you significantly running ethernet cord 328 ft hook it in with a little router put it in an outdoor rated weather box take another ethernet cord run it 200 ft it'll solve the issue
Would there be any way to contact you about asking a few questions? There’s no way I could hire you to do this because you’re way to far away, but I have a similar issue, slightly different but just wanted to ask a few questions
Hi i have a starlink bridged and i am using a ax5400 it gave us much better coverage around this house ,our second house is 90ft away we ran a eithernet cable to the second house from the back of the ax5400 into a eithernet switch box and ran two cables to our two tvs and it streams really well then we had a older net gear extender and hooked that up for our wifi we are drawing that signal right from the ax5400,s wifi,it works ok but we were hoping for a lot better now i want to put something that works better for our wifi could you recommend a better working product or a better working configuration, as you might be able to tell I'm not very knowledgeable any help i would appreciate
You said there’s a router in the second home. Aren’t you not supposed to have two routers on a network. Or did you mean access point. Also with as wide open as it is. Just run some direct burial cat6.
i have starlink, and other cabins, but u dont have de modem model with ethernet, only wifi, this can work only with wifi? or is neccesary haver ethernet?
Short answer is no you can’t wirelessly connect from the Starlink router to the Ubiquiti link if you are setting it up as a bridge to another house nearby. You can get different meshing routers to be used wirelessly for shorter distances and that will also give you access to Ethernet ports that can then be hardwired to the Ubiquiti links shown in this video. Or you can purchase an Ethernet adapter from Starlink and run a hardline from that to the link. Hope this helps.
I'm trying to pick it up in a camper on a laptop and cell phone freaking 10 feet away. I'm looking to use an old Windstream router to make it receivable is that possible ?
Hi Sam, That’s frustrating! You will more than likely have to pickup a meshing router in order to receive and rebroadcast the internet throughout your camper. An old windstream wouldn’t have that technology unfortunately. D-Link makes a good meshing router. We made a video using them for a customers business on a Starlink system. You can check it out here: m.th-cam.com/video/_MTGqYGjeJE/w-d-xo.html
@@AllMediaServices1 thank you very much I appreciate the info I'll look into it that's the same thing I'm trying to do I'm a blacksmith/gunsmith by trade and the camper is basically my office.
You’re quite welcome. At that short distance a mesh router should do the trick but there are other options if need be. So it’s definitely important to have a good connection in your office. Feel free to ask if any other questions arise.
Potentially.. How big is your business (employees/devices/etc)? I have seen an overhead door warehouse (rural) of about 10-15 employees using multiple computers for light duty work, smart phones for personal use, programs for a few CNC machines and wireless devices (google chromecasts) to a bunch of TVs (mostly for display purposes). The Starlink seemed to keep up fairly well for a satellite internet system. They have had it for over a year now and we haven’t heard any complaints.
Probably. But not contractually. So you need to be below the radar. If you are throughput ting Terrabytes they gonna call you out on contract. So technically yes, but need to be aware of rules / fair use. Certainly no issues for SOHO.
I have Starlink at my main house which is 125 ft away,I purchased a Nano loco M5 booster and a Netgear Nighthawk AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 router for my 2 nd house will this work to connecting or will I need something else
If you have just the one M5 booster it would go on the 2nd house and hardwire down to the Netgear router somewhere inside the house. You would then have to scan for your Starlink router and connect to its network (if it can see it). Once connected to the Starlink router you should (after some programming) have internet running down your hardline and in to the netgear router. Depending on the distances and obstacles between buildings you may need a 2nd M5 on the Starlink side to create a “bridge” connection. The M5 works kind of like a high powered router/extender.
You are probably right on that Jeremy Cooke. We hope to have a blog post on our website Starlinkcommunityforums.com coming soon regarding the programming and installation of the Ubiquiti M series products, as well as some more info in part 2 of this video (coming soon).

what if the second house has no router can you still use the m2 to pick up the starlink from house one?
You'll need a router...the antennas are not doing the networking, just beaming internet access.
