Need a low speed and price connection over great distance?
Then this is the way to go. If you already have a Ubiquiti Dream machine this can even function without a wired connection. I have it set up in a test environment where I am shooting towards a workshop (and another of these devices) which has security cameras and the connection on my house side is connected to my house wifi6 AP through wireless.I believe this requires a UDM or UDM-Pro, and would absolutely be better if it was plugged in to ethernet, but it functions. This would make it possible to set up a wireless dewline of sorts, but if you're looking for high capacity wireless links you're absolutely doing it wrong.Bottom line:It's cheap, effective, long range and easy to set up. Cons are It's FA (yep 100 meg even plugged in) and the top end wifi standard it supports is N. Yeah 802.11n so don't go expecting you're going to get high def video at ultra high fps. 1080p at 30 frames from a single device will stress it if you're using wireless backhaul.

Wonderful Product
Bought a set of two devices for a campground in which we have a permanent site for. Our camper is approximately 3/4 of a mile from the clubhouse. We pretty much gave up on any possibility of Internet that far out. However, being in IT, and knowing this product's brand name in the field, we decided to give it a shot. After consulting with the owner of the campground, and getting his permission, I set up the first station in the office pointing towards our camper. Then setup the other station on a tree maybe 25 feet away from our camper. The setup seemed confusing at first, but ended up being a breeze. Once those were done, I was able to get Internet via the wire from the station. Because I wanted wireless, I used an old all-in-one router I had laying around at home to broadcast my own SSID. This link works so good, I was able to stream to my Roku device with minimal buffer time at the beginning, and no interruptions for a movie night. Just a word of advice: these need line of sight in order to work. Small interruptions aren't generally an issue, but clear line of sight works best. Throughput on this setup was nearing 60Mbps over the distance. Absolutely wonderful product that has been working wonderfully for almost two months. If you have any issues with setup, there are plenty of step by step instructional videos on YouTube. Would recommend this product to anyone looking for Internet over a longer distance.

Great brand, but pick the right model!
EDIT: See update at bottom of review.Ubiquiti products are great because they are extremely reliable (no need to reset AP periodically), extremely powerful (some of the most powerful radios you can buy, with output power up to the max allowable by law of 1000mw (1 watt), at least in the USA, and they are highly programmable. However, they traditionally have been designed for the networking professional, and are missing a few features most consumer specific brands often have (D-Link, Linksys, Buffalo, Netgear, etc.), such as the ability to create multiple SSIDs (the name advertised by the access point), and a push-button setup procedure... to name two. But if you have the know-how to manually set an IP address on your computer you are a candidate for these fine products.Having said that, the trick is to pick the correct Ubiquiti model for your needs. For example the Nanostation LOCO M2 is great, but what is not revealed in the Amazon specifications is the coverage area. The built in antenna is NOT an omni (360 degree coverage). Rather, it is a 60 degree antenna (vertically and horizontally. That is coverage roughly equivalent to a fat slice of mom's apple pie. If you need to cover such an area this unit will shoot a signal hundreds of feet. And the Nanostation is weather resistant, so it can be mounted outside for a better reach. NOTE: Amazon is terrible about allowing external links in a review but if you go to ubnt com website you can see a pictogram of the coverage area.If you need a different coverage area (either wider or narrower), consider the Picostation M2-HP (see my general review of the Picostation line here:Ubiquiti Networks PICO2 2.4GHz 802.11bg). This model has the same power, but has a detachable omni antenna. You can use the omni or attach whatever antenna suits your needs. The downside to the Picostation is that is only has one antenna (MIMO 1x1), so speed maxes out at 150mb/s. The Nanostation maxes at 300 mb/s thanx to two internal antennas (MIMO 2x2). If you need the higher speed AND the external antennas, you need to look at another brand.Configuration tip: Unless you are connecting to a large numbers of other Ubiquiti devices with an "M" in the model number, turn off "airMAX" in the configuration, and also set the Channel Width in the wireless settings to "20MHz". This will give you the best compatibility, especially if using the Nanostation (or Picostation) as an AP for laptops and handheld devices to connect to.UPDATE 11-2015: Regarding the comment about looking elsewhere if greater than 300mb/s throughput is required PLUS external antennas... Ubiquiti now markets the "ac" series such as the Rocket ac, which passes up to 500+ mb/s (Ubiquiti Rocket AC Wireless Access Point (R5AC-LITE)).Ubiquiti also offers some very serious sector antennas that fit the Rocket, which allow not only extremely long distance links between two Rockets (for back haul), but also applications such as using a single Rocket as a Wireless Access Point to get a good WiFi signal to consumer devices that may be hundreds of feet away. The Ubiquiti antennas are really good "listeners", so the signal from the relatively low powered consumer devices transmitted over what would normally be a deal breaking distance can be picked up by the rocket.

Worked perfectly!
I needed this for a 3rd Party digital sign for my business, it’s an old school one And even though this transaction was perfectly executed, & priced perfectly, That does not change the fact that this is my third one (not from this co, First one was given to me at the sale, the other was off eBay)& while everything else was Satisfactory this product is and always has been complete CRAP!!!! Made extremely cheap so One wrong move, whether its crushing the hard reset button with a PIN, trying to reset and Get the sign to recognize the connection, a slight bump from somebody in the building, OR Electric shorting out from a bad storm……..this is a product that Is necessary for updating your digital signs, You absolutely cannot connect without it….. And even if you were extra careful & make sure none of those things happen Within six months of use, you will have to get closer and closer To your sign in order for it to recognize the connection path. LOL!!!! BUT It is not the sellers fault!!!!! Transactionally it was perfect, quick delivery, cheaper than USED ON EBAY! and worked perfectly out of the box……but I Already have to go outside in all weather to Pick up a signal, So I can promise you I will be back to buy another dozen of these!
