Review on Ubiquiti Networks LBE-M5-23-US Litebeam M5 Wireless Bridge with 10Mb/100Mb LAN, AirMax 802.11 N by Stephen Burgstaller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great, impressed with my results Near LOS

Works well. Both flashed to the latest official firmware and used for PtP between two houses 1.6 miles apart. There are "a few trees" along the way, and the quality of the connection ranges from 45% to 75%. I can easily watch Netflix in another house. I plan to find/build/buy a tower soon to get over the trees. One end of our link is already about 50 feet up, and the other end is only about 15 feet up. Raising the bottom end to a 40-50ft tower should give me a 100% clear Fresnel zone from my measurements and estimates of trees, height etc.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Speed
