## Questions & Answers

**Q: What distance do these work over?**
A: We have ours working over 70 metres or so, with clear site lines it should do a lot longer distance

**Q: Are they omni-directional or do they have to be lined up exactly?**
A: Beamwidth: 45° (H-pol) / 45° (V-pol) / 45° (Elevation)

**Q: It looks like I need to buy 2 of these M5s to establish an end to end connection, is that correct? Or is everything in the box to connect 2 sites?**
A: Yes you need two of these to make a point to point connection.

**Q: Do I need to convert my router to have static IP address to make this work?**
A: Your router is always the first IP address on your network (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) so no you do not need to convert it because it is already static.

*by T***I on 19 February 2020*

Quick and works reliable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incorrect plug?
*by J***T on 6 October 2020*

I have now bought six of theses excellent products, however the plug is an unfused two pin (European?) type. I'm told that electrical goods should not be sold in the UK without the correct plug and I'd be grateful for your comments

### ⭐ Shoddy, just shoddy...
*by B***K on 26 July 2020*

So how do you suggest I plug this into a UK wall socket? Not like I can even substitute an IEC lead as the power supply end is non-standard. A bit piss poor guys.... considering its law in the UK to provide everything with a UK plug !!
