Ubiquiti Networks NBE-5AC-Gen2-US 5GHz Nano-Beam airMax AC CPE Dedicated Management Radio

Easy to setup works great used it to wifi between two buildings 500 feet apart

These NanoBeams worked perfectly for my application. I needed to get internet to my daughters house about 100 feet away. My Unifi Access points just could not penetrate the brick exterior of both houses. I mounted the NanoBeams inside the attic of both houses at the highest peak. Other than the wood wall and the vinyl siding on the exterior of the attic on both houses, I did have a clear LOS. I installed them and pointed them at each other visually. The signal strength is full and the throughput is over 300Mps. The download and upload speed is identical in both houses.I setup both NanoBeams to Static IP addresses outside of the DHCP range of my network. This makes it very easy to log into them when needed. The setup is relatively straight forward but I did get some tips from videos. The GEN2 is fairly new, so there are no videos specifically for these that are helpful. Most of the setup tips for older versions apply to these.This was a cost effective solution for me as I did not want to run Cat6 cable all the way and I already had an available POE network port that was convenient to the location that I wanted to mount these. It took about an hour to set up the NanoBeams and about an hour to mount on J-poles in the attics. I also Mounted and wired a Unifi Ap-Ac Pro in the other house. Everything worked perfectly the first time.I highly recommend this and all Ubiquiti Products that I have used.

Very fast shipping! Excellent!

UPDATE: 10/2/2019I purchased 5 of these a while ago (2 different clients) and they all had the "XC" firmware (hardware) installed (we had been utilizing UBNT hardware from years earlier (zero issues), these were purchased as an upgrade...) - JUNK / and the hardware is JUNK. RETURN THEM - you ONLY want the NEW "WA" firmware - I have had ZERO of these work consistently using that junk "XC" - it is TERRIBLE!! I have had ZERO problems with the new hardware / current firmware "WA" - RETURN anything with "XC" hardware!! more technical - the XC hardware/firmware is all about drops - every 20 minutes, drop - and what is REALLY annoying is that it shows it is connected the entire time... and you can utilize the web interface of the remote antenna - it will simply not work on that end (nothing comes out of the LAN (but the antenna itself does connect)), but it will indicate it does... but it doesn't. swapping them out with the new WA (hardware (so it comes with different firmware) - everything is PERFECT! - I just did a backup / restore of XC settings and imported them into the new WA - the only thing I had to do manually was re-do the handshake (MAC address update). what UBNT should have done is call the "WA" hardware (since it utilizes a different radio chip) GEN 3 as opposed to them simply changing the actual hardware mid model and calling it the exact same.FIRMWARE "WA":WOW!! These rock!! super easy to setup - super fast!! very cool - EXTREMELY CONSISTENT!!!!

I have been using wireless bridges for almost as long as 802.11b has been around. But usually, they have been access points, with some form of bridge functionality that has been tacked on as an afterthought -- often not terribly reliable, always a pain to set up (with terrible documentation on how to do so). I have gone through ~3 different models over the years.Then along comes Ubiqity with the NanoBeam. Super easy to set up, with a *nice* GUI accessible both via web browser, and from an iPad app. Separate management IP address, so the IP address under which you set it up need not be on the same network as the one you are bridging (great if for some reason you do have to reset and reconfigure the unit). It actually passes through the MAC addresses of the devices on the other side of the bridge, as opposed to mapping them all to the MAC address of the "slave' bridge device. Passes through VLAN tags. Comes with mounting hardware and power-over-ethernet. There's an app to help you align the directional antenna for best signal strength -- but rather than just displaying signal strength on your computer, it has a "beep" mode where the pitch of the tone indicates signal strength: great when you have to adjust the thing with your head stuck in a place where you cannot look at your computer. It's almost like someone there has actually *used* their software, and takes pride in it.As for performance, I get solid 400Mb/sec over a distance of ~50 meters -- devices mounted indoors, so they have to shoot through glass and plastic (skylight dome), and there's a medium-sied tree in the middle of the line of sight.No downtime yet, and it has a mode where it periodically pings an IP address, and resets itself if there's no response in some time -- haven't turned it on yet, but that seems like another useful guard against problems.Overall, this is the first wireless bridge where I am totally happy. It just works, it works well, and the company seems to take pride in its products. Almost unheard of!
