Review on Ubiquiti NanoBeam ac Gen2: 🔧 Unleashing High-Performance airMAX ac Bridge (NBE-5AC-Gen2-US) by Michael Hawkins

After a year of battling Engenius junk hardware and firmware, I've shelved them for Ubiquiti Nanobeam (lack of tech support, firmware features not implemented or unimplemented). behave correctly, unstable hardware (system reboots several times a day, can't login over and over again.) There are some decent videos to watch BEFORE installing/configuring. Built-in tools and diagnostics are everything. Can't comment on the range but I have two devices, line of sight at about 200ft (house to barn) and at the lowest transmit power (-4dBm) the receive power on both devices is stable at -48dBm. with aligned antennas. Completely transparent to my network. I get maximum AC performance through a pair (Dashboard reports 655.2 Mbps on both sides). My only gripe: I was a little nervous that the Walmount kit wasn't included as a simple accessory. I used a 3-3/4" Tapcon screw through the mounting base and the blocks are super tight. It would have been more work with the Walmount kit and it didn't look as clean in the end (I went to Brick(House ) and metal/wood (woodshed) with tapcon.perfect solution) All in all, I regret that I spent a year messing around with Engenius junk, too many hours to count as troubleshooting and they fell far short of my minimum expectations to support ( as in ZERO support Ubuiquiti devices outperform Enstations in every way. Time will tell on reliability, but I'm very happy with installation, setup and out of the box performance.
