How to setup UniFi Nanobeam 5AC Bridge 

Awesome... Glad it helped!

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.

Nice. I love them too. They work great.

Glad you like it! Cheers!!

it should be pretty plug and play if you buy them as a preconfigured set.

It should yes.

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.

Never tried... I may have to try that!

Good call out. I should have done a better job on that.

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.

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.

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 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....

It can do more than 100M. I push 300+ Mb through them all the time

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.

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.

If you are talking about distance, the Nanobeam 5AC can send signal up to 15Km with good line of sight and low noise environments

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?

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

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.

Oh its not so bad once you have set them up before!

I do talk alot... working on that.

wow... rude

He is trying to stretch the length just as YT "suggests".
