NanoBeam AC Gen2 NBE-5AC-Gen2-US 5GHz airMAX CPE with Dedicated Management Radio Bridge (2 Pack)

Got to be a bit tech savvy to program and install but works great once it is setup. Was also able to power both items with the same power supply. The second beam is approximately 500 feet down the side of a cliff to my dad’s shop. Now he has ring alarm and internet TV with WiFi if needed.

I use these as ad hoc WAP's for film and television rigs. They work great. If you're looking at nanobeams you probably already know what they are and how they work. The included mounting accessories are useless to me but that's no fault of Ubiquiti's. Be careful that you get a US-spec device, though--I forwarded the same link I'd used for my own equipment to some other people and one of them received a bunch of EU spec nanobeams. You CAN NOT change them to north american spec, it's hardwired in, so pay attention to the box you receive to ensure it has a -US suffix at the end of the model number before you get too far.

NanoBeam works great to get internet out to a barn ~200' from house. ~650 MB. Have 3 POE cameras to monitor animals on inside and outside of barn as well as an AC-AP M POE access point so internet in barn. Pretty easy to setup, but be patient as sometimes take a few minutes after you save a config or such.

Great signal, speed and reliability.

After reading the reviews I was a little nervous about the setup process. But it took me about 20 minutes to get the settings right. Installed the radios on each house about a mile apart. Connected the cables and boom! I was able to share my media server with my mom’s house. No problem streaming 4K ultra HD video. 5 stars!

The actual product is superior as it is a very well designed wireless bridge. I would give it a 5 star review except the set up documentation was wholly insufficient. I was on the verge of returning the product due to being unable to configure the access source and receiver. Only you tube set up videos enabled me to be able to properly configure the product. Configuration was straightforward with the right guidance, but that was after a lot of internet searching and links from forums.

Why are you sending me the international version to California? Why are you sending me the international version when it clearly says -US in your description? Why are you sending me nanobeams that have clearly been opened before? It's time to start using TP Link bridges. I've setup many Ubiquiti bridges but that stops now. I still have 2 other international versions on the shelf that didn't make it back. I'm done with Ubiquiti. For anybody reading this, i'm a computer tech/network tech with 20 plus years experience. I've used many Ubiquiti devices over the years. Ubiquiti has gotten more expensive and stupid crap like this happens. I've setup TP Link routers, switches, extenders etc.. for clients many times, they've worked well and are reasonably priced. I'm confident their network bridges will serve me and my clients fine. From now on its TP Link for my clients.

On the plus, once it's working it works well. On the minus, the instructions to configure it are non-existent. They don't say much more then "install the app, and set the required options". They come with settings that basically mean they will not communicate with each other. The "Community Help" is (as normal with such things) is totally useless. If you do a factory reset they return to the "unconfigured, do nothing" state. On the plus, the "official" technical support responded very quickly.... I emailed them, went to bed, and by the time I got up the next day I had my solution. Overall, a nice product, that works fine when you figure out how to configure it.
