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 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.
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
@@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
I really Love how you explain all this. It makes one understand so weel how this things works. Im soon starting ISP services here in Kenya, and I have been doing thorough research. Thanks for sucha wonderful video..
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
good day sir tnx in your vedio how to comfigure the ubnt ..my question sir how to control the speed of the station antenna or ho to config to assign the speeg lemet anothe station tnx and more power
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.
I have a network and need to expand it to other buildings. We are using fortiswitch. Can i connect both forti switches with mt5. And the ip address is assigned from fortigate firewall.
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?
@@cattlecreekphotographybyto8954 That's my point I agree that there is a giveaway angle for the nanostation but definately not 180 degrees, I still haven't figured this out and never got a good answer from anybody yet.
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?
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?
I have a question I have a nsm2us and have a locom2 coming. Didn’t realize I ordered two different models. Will these linkup ok ? If so is one better for ap/client. Thanks really appreciate your help.
Will this work on the Starlink system. I have the eithernet cable. Can I just follow ur instructions and plug the eithernet cable from the Starlink accordingly. B
will it work according to this scheme if the main point is A, house B will also be where you draw it, and house C will stand in the place where the word "point" is written in your scheme? distance 30-40 meters
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!
Can 2 building which mean as access point ( B & C ) send data to 1 building as a station sir ? in B i have one NVR within 30 ip camera cctv , same situation in C building like B building. I want to control / manage them in A Building. Thanks sir Sorry for my bad english
I have a doubt. Is it possible to access the station with two access point. Because I want to connect this with a remote Display from a crane. Now I am using with one access point and one station... Access point is on crane. When the crane swings to the opposite direction signal not connecting. So is it possible that when I connect the station with two access point. Is it possible?.
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?
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?
