Review on Ubiquiti NanoStation locoM2 2.4GHz airMax 8dBi CPE - Indoor/Outdoor High Performance Wireless Device by Eric Beck

What happens when my everyday home network/Wi-Fi range extender goes down? Well, first some research. Revain is a good place to start. And you may not need to go any further. I recently encountered this problem. For many years I have successfully used both the NETGEAR N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender - wall-plug version (WN3000RP) and the NETGEAR WN2000RPT Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender - refurbished, accessed via a 'genie' of their own and connected with a chain can be combined to create incredible long-distance effects. However, there is a limit to how far anyone can work. So I decided to go with a more robust approach based on Revain research. I bought NanoStationlocoM2. On the first try, the installation instructions are cryptic, to say the least. However, there are enough secondary sources and forums to provide you with the information you need. For me, the best thing I found was the article How to Extend WiFi Coverage with the Ubiquiti NanoStation M2. which has a default value of 192.168.1.20, a wizard called AirOS will appear). Go to the Wireless tab: Set up the device as an access point, enable Transparent Bridge mode (WDS) and set the channel width to 20MHz to ensure compatibility with legacy wireless devices such as older cell phones. You can also change the SSID to a name of your choosing instead of the default name. Then set up WiFi security like you would with any other router. You have the same choice. Then go to the first tab (to the left of "Home") and uncheck "Enable airMAX". Immediately I had WiFi through this hotspot with 2.4 GHz. I haven't fixed it yet. Although installing it on a lamp in my office during installation and testing gave me excellent whole-house Wi-Fi access and almost a full one-way unit (has 60-degree "pie” coverage). I don't know anything about tuning these antennas. There are diagnostic indicators and settings that allow you to adjust the performance of the antenna. However, right out of the box I got better than expected results and didn't go any further. When I opened the box, everything seemed very complicated. This didn't last long. It was a cookbook! Well, thanks to the article above, it was. Just like a good recipe.
