Access point Ubiquiti NanoStation  M2 has a significant range, which reaches 13 kilometers. The model with a prefix Loko, this figure is several times smaller. Ubiquiti access point NanoStation Loco  M2 provides a confident signal only within a radius of two kilometers. However, in fact, their differences completely end there, because otherwise they are almost identical. Also, they have nothing to do with the procedure for entering parameters in the interface, so using the guide below, you can configure Ubiquiti for both models.

Connection procedure

Obviously, before the NanoStation2 setup process is started, the device must be properly connected. To do this, use one wire to connect the router connected to the computer to the M2 NanoStation power supply, and connect the Main port to the POE socket of the unit with another wire, as shown in the image below.

Preparing the computer for work

For Ubiquiti NanoStation M2, the network card of the computer is configured in the same way as for the Loko model. The most reliable option for the configuration procedure is a wired connection, rather than by Weifai. Therefore, the variant of connecting via a router cable to a PC will be described below. The setup consists of the following sequential steps:

Entering settings for the access point

The sequential action algorithm consists of the following steps:

Note: If the name and password do not work, you will need to reset the device. To do this, you should use the special "Reset" button on the device case.

Press it and hold for about 15 seconds. After this procedure, the authorization parameters set by the device manufacturer will again apply.

Entering parameters for the Bridge mode

The following steps must be taken:

How do I find the "IP" of the home network station?

To do this, you need to install a special application "Device Discovery Tool" in the PC. Then, right after the program starts, it will automatically search for IP and display it on the monitor.

Access Point Security

Any adjustments to the parameters should only be available to the owner of the device, so you need to know how to change it. For this purpose, only a few steps need to be performed:

1. Login to the "System" section;
2. Go to the tab "Administrative Account", where you can print your own imaginary complex access code;
3. After that, click "Change" to save the corrections;
4. In the last box, click "Apply";
5. Done! Now network security is ensured, and the point functions normally.

Engineers of the company Ubiquiti Networks  are pleased to offer the most demanding consumer all-weather access point - Nanostation M2, made in a sealed plastic case. The device has a rich functionality and allows you to solve a wide variety of wireless access tasks.

Nanostation M2 access point  represents Wi-Fi  2.4Ghz a 600 milliwatt transmitter with an integrated sector MIMO 2 × 2 antenna with a gain of 11dBi: very impressive, especially considering more than a modest size and weight of just 400 grams. The access point is equipped with an Atheros MIPS 24KC processor with a clock speed of 400Mhz and random access memory  volume of 32MB. The device is equipped with PoE-injector, which will allow you to power Nanostation M2  using a twisted pair, and a screed for mounting on the pipe. Interesting option - under the lid in addition to the main LAN-port is one additional. Because it has PoE power support, it will be very convenient to connect to Nanostation M2  network IP camera.

Like other devices from the company Ubiquiti, Nanostation M2  Support, which allows to prevent collisions when wireless data transmission over a distance. Intelligent scheduler will give the opportunity to assign high priority to video and voice traffic, as well as assign priorities to individual clients. There are three main options for using a wireless access point Nanostation M2.

- As an access point Since the integrated antenna has a horizontal sector of 55 degrees, it will be very appropriate to apply Ubiquiti Nanostation M2  as an access point. This will enable you to connect wireless clients to it at a distance of up to 7 kilometers. The flexibility in tuning and the impressive power of the device will help build an entire network, as a Station using the same or their "little brothers" - access points. Such infrastructure will be applicable for the organization of wireless access in settlements or will allow to connect remote branches together with the central office.

- As a wireless client If the task is to connect to a remote access point several kilometers away, you can implement it using Nanostation M2. The compactness of the device, the ability to operate smoothly under different climatic conditions give a wide range of possibilities for its installation on the client side. Attractiveness in the financial aspect makes Nanostation M2  a very interesting contender for the role of an inexpensive and high-performance device for wireless access to the network.

- In "Point-to-point" mode Also Nanostation M2 is irreplaceable in the organization. What could be easier than using two such devices to connect to the Internet cottage in a small distance from the city. Also, this mode will be very useful for providers: if there are several clients in a small house that need to be connected to the network. With such an infrastructure, a bridge can be Nanostation M2and further communications within the building are carried out in a wired manner. In addition, stability and outdoor performance of the device will be decisive factors in the construction of backbone wireless channels.

Working Nanostation M2  governed by software product Air OS  - a flexible tool for configuring the access points of the company Ubiquiti. A user-friendly interface and convenient configuration help to quickly and efficiently solve wireless access tasks. Nanostation M2.

Engineers Ubiquiti  demonstrated how important it is nowadays to follow the balance of "price-quality" relentlessly. Access point Nanostation M2  combines a number of advantages - it has a powerful transmitter and a sensitive antenna with small dimensions, and is all-weather, which will be indispensable for residents of harsh climatic zones. The availability of the device in a financial aspect will also attract a lot of potential consumers.

Specifications Ubiquiti NanoStation M2

: 2.4 GHz. It is used to distribute the Internet to 30 subscribers or as a client on the same M2. With the help of it you can, for example, deploy a network over a small city in a very short time. The station itself is very well recommended, there is no negative feedback about it.

Setting up an access point for Ubiquiti Nanostation.

The point is delivered in a normal box. The manufacturer indicates that it can be used both inside the house and outside. Inside the box we find a small manual, a point directly, a power supply unit of a new sample (in new models there was a Reset button, which was sometimes very scarce), a 220 V power cable and clamps for mounting to a bracket.

For connection two cables, an injector are taken. The cable that is connected to the LAN connector is inserted in the network card  our computer. The second cable is inserted first into the POE connector, the second end to the point. On model M2 2 connectors, we insert into the main connector. If you have a Loca version, then the connector will be one.

If we power the point, the power indicator will light up. The LAN1 indicator does not light up until we connect the computer. Until we switched to the computer, say a few words about the point itself.

First, the power is supplied by twisted pair, which means that no additional power is needed to the point. Secondly, it is made of plastic, which allows using it in any weather. If you are going to distribute the Internet from it to the same points, then you will have the opportunity to use airMAX technology, which allows you to greatly improve your connection.

Customize

The point is connected, the computer is turned on. To begin with, we need to go into the control panel and register with IP pens. The default antenna is 192.168.1.20, DHCP is off. We must register the IP in the properties of our wired connection. For peace of mind, you can make sure that the point is pinged.

In the browser, type our address. The default login and password are ubnt and ubnt. In the Country column, select the Complance Test line. The language is English, we accept the terms of use and enter the control panel via the "Login" button. Why did we choose the Complance Test? The fact is that this mode allows you to select absolutely any channel, maximum power and any other parameters set by hand. In each country there are restrictions on the use of frequencies, we want to be free people. In versions from 5.5.8 removed Complance Test, so it is not worth bothering with it. Conversely, if your firmware is higher - you can flip to a lower one. Work on non-standard frequencies without Complance Test is impossible. Sooner or later, any channel is hammered, so depriving yourself of unnecessary frequencies is at least stupid.

We'll look at the various modes of operation, but first we'll deal with more general things. It's better to change the default user name and password to the admin area. Sometimes it's better to somehow generate passwords, if you put them from the bald, then sooner or later you will forget or lose the necessary data. Also change the network name, it will be useful in monitoring. Here you can swap the firmware or merge some configuration file, you can also specify latitude and longitude, but this is again for monitoring. The main thing is to change the default login and password, it's mandatory. Click Change and Aplly, then the settings are applied, and the antenna will reboot, it will take a minute to wait.

Ubiquiti Nanostation M2 router mode

Now we will not consider the situation when the connection is established, working from the provider. We consider that we are an ordinary user. Go to the Wireless tab. For the point to work as a router, you must select the mode of operation as an Access Point. You can specify a transparent mode so that there are no problems. SSID is the name of your access point. If you make a bridge, you better hide the name. Since we are doing public Wi-Fi, we will not hide it. We leave the country unchanged. Regarding the width of the channel: now most devices support a width of 40 MHz, but still there are such wonders of Chinese thought that do not support the fortieth, so it makes sense to reduce the bandwidth to 20 MHz. Network mode we leave B / G / N, most likely, it and can not be changed. You can select a channel. Here, of course, expanse. We have 13 channels in our country, which start at a frequency of 2401 Mhz. It is not recommended to use channels 12 and 13, because there are owners of apple equipment brought from the US in a gray manner. In the US, 11 channels, 11 and 12 simply do not work. The first channel is usually busy, the sixth channel is not bad: 2427 MHz, you can also just scan the air. We select the channel and the output power. In the open area can be twisted to the maximum. If you are not making a public point, then we put encryption: choose the type and set the password. Click Change.

Go to the Network tab. Choose the mode of the router. WAN Interface leave BRIDGE0. IP is obtained by DHCP. We will stick it into the home router and the IP to control the antenna it will receive by DHCP from the router. Enable DHCP, IP can be left the same or changed if it is. Let's see that NAT was enabled, in the screenshot there is an error. Click Change.

We disconnect the computer from the LAN connector and insert the cable with the Internet into it. We must see our network in the list of available. We connect to the network and make sure that the computer will receive IP by DHCP.

We go to the menu for controlling the antenna for the new IP. We are authorized with a new login and password. We see that the antenna is operating in the router mode, there is one connection - it's us. Perhaps the device will request an update of the firmware, but we do not want to lose the magnificent "country", so we ignore the messages.

Go to Main and watch what information is available for us. There is a speed schedule, connected clients, visible MAC, client signal is visible, distance usually lies, speed, connection time, last connected IP are visible. On the first six MAC signs you can find out the manufacturer of the computer or phone of this connected scoundrel. You can view all the information on it, how many picks up and takes at all.

Bridge access point

In this mode, the point will "flush" the connection and the IP will give out the provider's router or switch. This method is suitable if we want to sell Wi-Fi. In billing, you can write MAC addresses of our customers and collect money from them.

Customize. The mode is not router, but bridge. There is a situation like this, some people miss this: you need to make sure that after manipulating the antenna you can control it. If we use a router that will give IP to everyone, then install DHCP and nothing else. And if we want to sell the Internet, we have some kind of billing, then we need to drive the LAN address of our Ubiquiti, that is, register it in billing, issue a simple tariff, you can, in general, with an illegal Internet connection, if only an internal IP was issued in the network of the provider. We set the receipt of the controlling IP by DHCP. Let's Change, the settings for Wireless remain the same, Apply, wait until the point reboots.

We connect again to the point. We have already got another IP, but we do not know the manager of the IP. We go to the admin area of ​​our router and look at the clients. Find yourself and copy the IP. We go to the control panel under this address. Log in to the admin area, make sure that everything works. Now the IP address is managed by our home router.

Station

In Station mode, our Ubiquiti Nanostation M2 can not only transmit, but also receive the Internet. We set the station mode and scan the air. With our "country" scanning will be long. Why is this necessary? The station is very powerful, the signal can be received from ordinary Wi-Fi from a neighboring house, for example. Choose any available connection  from available and click Change. Delete the registered IP in the control panel, we get IP, you can go to the admin area from this address. Correct the IP inside the admin area, if there is no connection.
