Review on πŸ“‘ LBE-5AC-GEN2-US Ubiquiti LiteBeam Wireless Bridge - 100Mb LAN, GigE, AirMax AC - White by Wesley Sharp

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I expected more signal gain from the shape

Nanobeam AC 19db received a better signal by 3db. In exactly the same position after alignment, my results were: Lightbeam (-69/-68) Nanobeam (-66/-65) This could be a good budget option for a CPE close to the tower, but no more than 4km. After that, the signal drops and the speed becomes obscenely low. After further research I found out that the light beam has a slower processor and less dRam than the nano beam. I was disappointed. I suspect that the poor performance is mainly due to the small size. I don't understand how they can get so much signal. This is MUCH smaller than the LR light beam version. LR is about 4 times larger. I am very happy with the LR lightbars and have one that goes 20km with no issues (-59/-61). It's still a good option for the price, but it just doesn't cut it for anything over 4km. Stick with Nanobeam Gen2, I'm very happy with them too

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
