I use these to supply outdoor WiFi

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024

Verified Purchase

I have installed several of these in conjunction with NanoBeam 5AC CPE for friends that need remote Wi-Fi installs; one was 1/2 mile from the house to a generator installation. I use the NanoBeam 5 AC to transport the Internet over Ethernet signal to the remote location, then I install a Ubiquiti AC MESH router on the 2nd port of the NanoBeam 5AC. The last site I did this at was using Starlink in the country, and I was getting over 80Mbs download and 15Mbs upload 195 feet from the AC MESH router install in the backyard with trees in the surrounding area, but I clear path between the router and the test location (a remote gate opener with camera and intercom).

Works well and gets that precious Wi-Fi to you.

No problem with the install and the unit is extremely easy to out up and adopt into your system. I would recommend being careful how close these are to other units. Sometime they can bleed into areas you don't intended. This is almost always solved by turning down the power level. If this unit goes out I will 100% buy again.

Good product but some mechanical issues to be aware of

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2023

Verified Purchase

We added this product to an existing Ubiquiti AP environment at our church to serve an outdoor location recently constructed. Wanted to use the same configuration/management capabilities of the Unifi network controller (self-hosted on a computer at the church).

As others say, this is a good product and is working well. My comments relate to a few mechanical issues with the device that may be useful to understand:
1) it can be tricky to get the Ethernet cable connected - just enough room to accomodate the cable connector "shell"
2) there is a grommet to go around the cable to keep the unit waterproof but the grommet assumes the cable will be threaded through and then the RJ45 connector added. Instead, we cut the grommet to get it around the cable that already had the RJ45
3) the status light on the unit is not obvious at first glance (the light is inside with a "window"). And, if one is outside when the (white) light first comes on, it is very hard to see. Found the light by connecting temporarily inside where the light was less bright.
4) once the device is inserted in its mounting bracket, it cannot be removed without removing the whole bracket from the wall (and then still a bit tricky to disconnect the "fingers" that connect it to the mount).

On the plus side, there is a built-in level in the mount which is very helpful.

I am glad I had a fair amount of technical background when using the Unifi network controller software.

This thing is the best thing ever!

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

I wasn't too sure about this, 600 feet sounds excessive, but I went ahead and tried it out. Bought the antenna mount with it and put this on my (Abandoned by my old provider, not functional!) internet LOS dish on the top of my house. This was to get around the walls on my house which are up to 12 inches thick limestone block. This basically puts the AP at what I would consider the best possible placement for my property, and it works. However some things I noticed:

1. being up so high and only needing to penetrate my roof (which is NOT rock.. of course) allows this thing to embarrass my existing Orbi setup. Almost anywhere in my house if this doesn't match the power of the Orbis.. it exceeds them. Ouch. That's money flushed I suppose. Will upgrade them eventually with more Ubiquiti.

2. Yes it can.. reach at least 300 foot. With huge power. I've only found one area outside my house where the Orbis are generally (not all the time) beating this thing. Not a fair fight.. the Orbi has satellites!

3. The software control is wonky. If I connect to the network that this thing is on, I can't see it and the software immediately stops receiving heartbeats from it, and despite it working fine it claims it is dead, and stops interfacing with it. I am guessing there is a system or setting I am missing that allows it to do this though.

Overall I'd consider NOT buying this a mistake. It's not very expensive but it functions way out of the league by price. The control offered by it is great, and the power and coverage are second to none. I will be pairing this with a real AP controller sooner or later, and I have high expectations for it based on what I have.

Edit: This thing just survived a 30 year snow storm, totally exposed on my rooftop in a 11 degree blizzard followed by a ice rain storm. (2021 is already trying to to 2020!) Still works, though it seems the sheltered Orbis are now outperforming it near to the house, which is a bummer. Also getting some drops on cameras out at the edges of my property. Still given all the other carnage of the storm the fact that it works at all is pretty amazing!
