Ubiquiti NSM5 Point to Multi Point

I'm setting up ubiquiti nanostation m5 for point to point Wifi or point to multi 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 ?

dBm is power level relative to 1 milliwatt. So 6 dBm is 4 milliwatts, 10 dBm is 10 milliwatts, 20 dBm is 100 milliwatts, etc. 26 dBm is 400 milliwatts.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Hi. Thanks for explaining. Does that also mean higher dBm has further range ? Or bandwidth?

[@DavidWitkowski]

@@UbergeeksBiz in a sense, both. Information (what is called "throughput") in a channel is a function of channel bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. Read up on Shannon-Hartley Theorem for details. More power improves signal-to-noise ratio, which in turn improves information/throughput. More power would allow you to cover more distance, but increased distance will reduce power. Read up on free-space path loss for details. I think it's admirable that you're reducing power for environmental benefit, but the amount of power saved will be very minimal. The tangible benefit of reducing power will be (a) reducing heat in the power amplifier (which will extend the life of the equipment) and (b) reducing errors in the receiver from signal overload.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

@@DavidWitkowski Thank you for explaining. I really appreciate it.

good thing about these is they can be used to connect to just about any other AP or wifi router that transmits dual band 2.4GHz and 5GHz or you can use the NSM2 model if the router only transmits 2.4GHz

Can you pair a station to another station? Or do they only connect to the main access point? I'm trying to daisy chain these antennas the first one is not in line of sight on the last 4. Is that possible with these?

This allows you point to multi point

In one station for example say B, can you connect to two routers one from secondary port in ubiquiti and another in the poe LAN?

Very educative video. Can I do this using the ubiquiti nanostation loco m2 , 100m apart? whats the difference if I set up the two stations as access point so they can produce wifi?

[@elfnetdesigns702]

Depending on where yoru host AP is located determines if you can do a point to multipoint with nanostations. if you have a point not in LoS of the host AP then you will not be able to do it this way and you will need to get a Rocket M5 with it's omnidirectional antenna to use as the host AP. You will be limited to 100 Mbps lan and 802.11N bandwidth throughput. The M series is EoL now replaced by the AC5 and Prisim series. NSAC5 Locos on ebay are cheap enough that it is worth just getting these later models to have gigabit lan and 802.11AC bandwidth throughput just be aware that the AC5's do not come with a poe injector so you will need to source some 24 volt gigabit lan injectors.

Great vidéo very informative, Can you do a video on latitude and longitude. (Location).

[@jakeeberle4260]

Great video! I do have a question. I've set up the point to multipoint and it's been working for about 3 years. AP-2 stations. Each station has a router. But recently, after upgrading the firmware of the NSM5, one of the routers stopped working. It's a TP Link Archer 5. After trying to work with it for a few hours, I called TP Link and they only thing they could figure out was to make the router an access point when previously, I had it set up with its own IP. The internet works from the NSM5 and the POE injector, but not through the ARCHER unless it's an AP. Any idea what happened here?

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Did you try to reset Tp Link Router ?

hello, connected Station B, the to thr router but the gadgets are connected to the wifi but without internet. Kindly help

[@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!

[@lindanishibe2456]

Great Video Sir May I please ask. While the NSM5 are communicating at 5GHz. With a dual band router sitting at B, can I also connect 2.4GHz devices?

Hi I have three locations to install IP cameras A B C, (200 feet appart) I have internet at point B. Installing cameras at A & C with no internet connection, A B C are on a straight line and B is in the middle, I cannot just use nanostation at all three locations because of the wide angle, can I use omni at B and 2 nanostations at A & C?
