Ubiquiti NSM5 Point to Multi Point

[@DavidWitkowski]

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.

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Pin you on top. lol

Also may be important to see wat the FCC (or other government authority) allows also

Watched 3 other You Tube versions of the Nano station M2 setup. Both other attempts failed. Only needed to hook up the AP and one as a receiver. Instructions were clear, easy to follow and RIGHT ON. Good job - THANK YOU

I think what gets most people is the setting your PC with a static IP to access the devices initially.

[@SoupTheChemist]

​@@UbergeeksBizI see this info is a yr old. My question : is the NS5 still a good system to go with, or is there an easy configuration good quality point to multi point set up you can recommend

Best tutorial ever!! You explain everything to the finest detail. Thank you

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@Elfnetdesigns]

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

[@pardonsamson4774]

[@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.

[@josfamily]

Very informative video. What is the maximum angle that stations can be connected? The spec says Beamwidth 43° (H-pol) / 41° (V-pol) / 15° (Elevation). Is that what I am looking for?

[@BNJMIN]

This answered so many of my questions, thank you very much. What a great video.

[@MrDarrell4444]

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

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!

[@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 ?
