Ubiquiti LocoM5 X 2 Units Bridge Kit Complete Pre-Configured Nanostation Loco M5

There is some configuration to be dine. Several YouTube videos to assist. But this has been up and running ever since

I installed these to get internet from my house to my shop. After watching a few videos online I was able to set it up pretty easily. Have had it for several years now and have no compaints.

The product itself is excellent. I purchased the pair rather than 2 individual radios, because it said that they were already programmed. They we're NOT programmed. The IP addresses we're not as they we're supposed to be, the password was not what it was supposed to be. The mode in the radios we're left as default, as was all of the other settings. Please keep in mind I gave none of this info to the seller, so it's not a case of poor or conflicting instruction. This was their setup design -an AP, and a STATION that would get powered up and beam up passing data to one another. I fulley expecting to changs login, change the user &password, as well as my network name, that to be expected. From there I totally expected them to link up, and roll. Not the case. 2 days later, various trial and error elimination of issues, several you tube videos later, I got it up and running. If I had to do this again...when I have to do this again, I will purchased the default programmed device. All said, the product is a "10!" And the setup done by seller is a "1" thank you for giving me the opportunity to leave my feedback.

Had Radio bridge from another company in the past. It was supposed to be set up when received, it was not. I spent two weeks playing phone tag with the ONLY person on staff who could help me to get it working. That was last year. This year when it stopped working and so did phone tag. I found this product. I followed the directions included and within a minute my internet was up and running. No phone tag and no aggravation.

Not sure what "pre-configured" means. There is a detailed setup video on youtube that walks through the config, watch it! Next, actual install of equipment. There are a lot of things I wish I had known before starting. The biggest issue I encountered was running the ethernet cable. The head of the ethernet cable is quite large, therefore I could not use the existing conduit to run the wire with the head attached so I cut it off. I certainty could have drilled a new, larger hole thru the wall but did want to do that. Even with the head cut off it took 2 hours and great difficulty to get it to feed. My next problem was self induced, I bought a flat ethernet wire, BAD, BAD move. A flat ethernet wire, at least the one I bought, is nearly unrepairable. By that I mean, if you have to cut the plug off to get it to fit through, in my case conduit, or make a repair, good luck. Only the 4 solid color wires were identifiable. The 4 white wires with colored strips were missing the stripes. Next problem with the wires is they are so small, much smaller than the normal tiny wires in an ethernet cable you need an electron microscope to work with them. By the time I realized my wire problem I was in a pickle because all I had left to do was attach a new RJ45 plug. I ordered new wire and an ethernet RJ45 repair kit. Once the supplies arrived I decided to attempt the repair of the flat wire. Sitting on the broiling black roof for 90 minutes trying to line the wires up and guessing which white wire went in what order I finally crimped the plug. Keep in mind, my white wire order was all guess work and to my shock and utter disbelief my guess worked, I had done it. Based on my success I must have missed my calling as a vascular surgeon. The Loco M5 works great and I would buy it again.

I have installed several of these and they work great and are easy to configure. I have just installed two in the last week. They provide good coverage for short and long distances (i.e. over a 1/4 mile for the ones that I have used.)

These were very difficult to set up. Had to search internet for hours to find all the info I needed. IP addresses, subnet masks, IP4 setup just to connect to the units, etc. The instructions were totally incomplete. You tube helped some, but details (like what to set IP addresses to that would allow them to work with YOUR modem, etc). No excuse for having such poor instructions. I could actually write them now after all the digging I had to do. There are a couple of details that you need to know that unless you are a total nerd you will have a difficult time figuring out. Once I got them working they are great. Absolutely no loss in download speeds between my 2 buildings. Other downside is that after I finally got it working I felt like such a geek I wanted to binge on old episodes of star trek. 😊

Not immediately apparent in the picture, or description, the uplink to these units is required to be a wired one. These do not function without a wired uplink connection, and are incapable of connecting wirelessly. Upon requesting a refund, I was denied due to being out of the 30 day window.

Easy to install. Just aim and plug it in. Works very well.
