Ubiquiti PTMP Setup And Configuration

[@seanw4739]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, the information provided by Ubiquiti is as clear as mud. You made the setup super easy to understand and without excessive information, you've earned my subscription!!

[@victorodhiambo4910]

I'm running a small wisp here in Kenya; ubiquiti airmax equipment has really helped alot. Rock and solid suit of equipment for outdoor long distance wireless links.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Ya they are really good and easy to configure

[@jpSimkins]

Thank you! I've been following your channel since I switched to Unifi a month ago. Thanks for the video, I had issues connecting my P2P connection and this video showed me what I was doing wrong.

[@davidhall6977]

This is just a initial setup and config video. You said in future video you would talk about all the settings and what they mean. There are lots of videos talking about the basic setup. We need real world configuration examples like what did you do on the job that this video was based?? Fine tuning TX power, frequencies, airOS tools, alignment, airview, etc... Please make video about details that will help.

[@tomshank433]

Thanks man. I was trying this setup with the exact same hardware and I wasn't getting it to work. Your video included the one setting I missed. You are the man!

[@ismailshaafiu9403]

Glad I found this channel. Thanks for the tutorial. right to the point without wasting time. Thumbs up!!!

[@rholtby]

Thanks for this a couple of steps I was missing with the base station and remote AP and I got it working! Thanks again for doing this video.

[@jamesdavis3116]

thanks for the info just configured some nbe-m5-16 and airocket prisim 5ac from your info i was stuck thanks again

[@ewhilton]

Thanks Cody, hopefully you get some video and follow up when it's all installed!

[@randyfoster4895]

I’m interested in any follow videos that you may have made that go into more detail of the various switches and settings that you didn’t go into o this video. I’m trying to set up a similar bridge like you have here but for now just one receiving antenna. I need to join this bridge to my current WiFi and have the bridge pass all my lan and VLAN networks I currently have so. Thanks for helping me locate your follow up videos.

[@Lunafilms12]

Thanks Cody! Another great video!

Another great, informative video Cody. Thanks

Thanks Cody ✅👍

[@declue1973]

Hello, great to the point video..thanks..can you leave all the radios as DHCP or are they required to be static?

[@lioneldagon6868]

Well done Cody

[@mmccall89]

Thanks for the video! I'm wondering if you may be able to help me out with two issues...I have a PrismStation 5AC that I want to connect to two Loco 5AC. Currently it's set to Access Point on, PtP mode on. It's connected to a one of the Loco 5ACs and works well. The 1st Loco is set to Access Point off and PtP on. But, I can't get the second one to connect even though it found the SSID. I'm assuming that this is because I need to change the PrismStation to PtP off? If that is the issue, do I then set both Locos to OFF for AP & PtP? Second issue is that I can't get the devices on the UISP Domain (says unreachable). I did make a domain and it did work until I changed the devices to 192.168.10.x instead of 192.168.1.x. Should they all be back on 1.x? Thanks in advance!

[@jazz596344]

Does it have to be directly line of site or could there be trees and one slightly angled wall in the way?

[@Walterz930]

Nice video hopefully one day you get to video you doing this on a job

[@regchan]

id like to know about the toggles switches ptp wondered if the 5ac g 2 will work broadcasting wifi to say a phone

[@PJBhm]

Hi Cody, I am in Montreal and I provide Wi-Fi for Outdoor festivals. I was thinking to use AirMax Nanobeam AC as Access Point and Stations. Would the airMAX LiteAP 5AC be a better choice for the access point in a PtmP environnement ? Is it omnidirectionnal ? Thanks for your videos !

[@silverwillowsportingclub]

Great video. Can a guy use the airMAX Rocket Prism AC 5 GHz Radio with the airMAX Lite AC AP, 5 GHz, GPS Access Point to help the signal?

[@MrDawnHU]

Is there any solution for a similar setup but with gigabit capable point to multipoint?

[@squeek-]

Hey Cody, quick question. The NanoBeam 5AC Gen 2 seems to be sold out in a lot of places or priced higher than its retail value. Are there any secondary products you can recommend that might have similar performance?

[@javiercamacho1673]

Great video to review how to configure an Ubiquiti PTMP network solution, thanks Cody. Because this is a combination of indoor and outdoor network installation, I was curious what you use to protect your client's equipment from lightning. Is the "Ubiquiti Ethernet Surge Protector" enough or there is something else?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

We use two Ubiquiti surge protectors one iniside and one outside and then we use UPS

[@samtechtips7923]

do i have to configure the VLAN for the remote one or it will have the configuration as MDF (UDM pro)?

[@fishermansnook3415]

Have you experience with a Wireless ISP PTP (airmax) interfering with WAP’s in homes that are in the Path of the PTP? The WAP’s and ISP PTP are all on the 5Ghz band. There are 7 PTP’s that are spread across the 5G band so there are no unused channels for the WAP’s. This covers a very large neighborhood with dozens of homes affected. The main ISP AP’s sit atop a 1000’ mountain overlooking the neighborhood and are used to provide service to homes miles away. The WAPs work ok (500Mbps up and down) until they stop broadcasting their SSID... change channels, or just slow service to ~20Mbps. Rendering use of the 5G Band unusable. My clients are all on 1Gbps FTTH and are expecting a better WiFi experience.

[@jeffobrien1836]

I’m looking to do this for my two barns but they are 2,500 feet away from my house. Will this setup handle the distance?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Hey I have to look at the specs . You can most definitely do it though just need the right radios

[@afrkabenkfarmrekankarya1830]

what distance can be connected with liteAp ?

[@andrepotts3898]

you are so fast , not even telling what you are busy with

[@MactelecomNetworks]

You can slow the video down also very old vid

[@jasonperry6046]

Where do you get your NanoBeam's from? Never mind, my nomenclature was off in my head. I was thinking of NanoStation. I am watching this video because I have 2 GigaBeam's on the way right now.

[@Try4Hard]

Do you upgrade for your all customers constantly the firmware of the ubiquiti/unifi products (maintenance etc.)? Or do you leave "auto updates" for all products enabled? Do you have access to the unifi controller?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

I never leave there stuff on auto always disable auto updates. I upgrade some customers that are hosted on my controller

[@TechJedi007]

Can I do this with 3 NS-5AC "nano station 5ac"?

[@ronald0122]

can i buy 2 Ubiquiti LiteAP AC and connect them for just 2 locations?

[@armandocorella975]

Hi Cody thanks for the video. I have an application to distribute wifi to three houses (PTMP) all on the same property. I purchased 3 LiteBeam AC. Can I use a router at the end of each bridge to distribute the wifi in each bridged house? Do you have a video to help. Thanks

[@emmanuelrampheri5603]

You can either use router/AP to use as wifi access point.

[@shamsahdahmad6740]

brother, i have 3 ubiquiti litebeam 5AC gen2 device. i want to make 2 access point and 1 client to connect both access point.is this possible. Actually i have 2 different location and 1 central location and i want to connect both our sites with center office. kindly help i want to make a intranet connection.

[@christucker3187]

Might be a very noon comment but if the LiteAP AC is broadcasting a SSID couldn't the clients connect directly to that or are they configured in such a way that they can only broadcast to the specific receiver. Also kind of weird the LiteAP and the Nanobeam dont show in the UDMP device list?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

They won’t broadcast the ssid (not that I could see anyways) also the liteAP and nanobeam are not apart of the unifi stack so they won’t show up

[@brothersnetworksolutions9545]

Can the same outcome be accomplished with the UniFi Mesh Access point UAP-AC-M-US over a short distance? Just to keep it within the unifi family without having to use the pricier building to building bridge?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

The Unifi mesh are pretty much the same price. They will also not give you the reliability and the speeds the same as the PTMP gear I have in this video

[@brothersnetworksolutions9545]

@@MactelecomNetworks Thanks Cody. That's what I thought. Well done and explained yet again.

[@craigcaillet4697]

Would airMAX NanoStation 5AC Loco's also work for this? What are the pros/cons of the NanoStation vs the NanoBeam?

[@emmanuelrampheri5603]

Nanostation loco is for short distance about 100 to 300 while nanobeam can go littlie further about 700.

[@Mouratidis]

in position of nanobeams ac gen2 can we use Ubiquiti LiteBeam AC Gen2?

[@emmanuelrampheri5603]

Yes you can considering the distance

does the wireless link between the ptmp connection not take the vlans and subnets?

You can add vlans. I don’t need it in this setup though
