Ubiquiti Nanostation 5AC Loco NS-5ACL

Very easy to use, very quick response time got good speed, but here is a catch, these POE devives do not follow standardise POE configurations so you will need to buy either a convertor from Ubiquiti POE to standand say 802.3af POE to work or just a Ubiquiti POE injector.

I've got two of these setup as an outdoor wifi bridge between two rural buildings. The configuration was a bit of a challenge but the resultant reliable 5GHz link was worth the effort. A great product!

Used a pair of those to "extend" wifi to a rural chalet. As the distance is only about 300m couldn't test the full range. If you want to minimise number of wires consider getting NS 5AC (non loco) with 2 PoE ports which allows to power remote camera off the 2nd PoE port.

Doesnt work with standard PoE

Nanostation loco is cheap for a reason. Ubiquiti will nickel and dime you for a wall mount and a power supply for the locos. They do NOT work with PoE nor PoE+ switches at all. You have to buy a separate passive injector (INS-3AF-I-G or INS-3AF-O-G) for an additional $19-$21 each. The Ubiquiti Quick-Mount to attach these locos to a wall are another $19 each. Youre lucky they threw in the one plastic tie wrap for free.

Excellent value, good product.

This device works well. I've tested it with a p2p connection at 200m and the internet is as fast at the access point end as it is at the home router.

Excellent value, rock solid reliability

I had a pair of these deployed across a 30 foot gap between buildings on my property and the connection was rock solid for the two years they were in service. The app used to set them up makes alignment a breeze. The PoE requirements require some accessories if your switches aren't capable of 24V POE, which mine werent, but these are inexpensive, as are the devices themselves. The throughput was enough for the two 4K and three HD cameras I have on the remote building to stream continuously, plus some spare bandwidth available for the computer and IOT devices to function just fine. Ultimately I upgraded to a 60 GHz gigabit link, but for the price you cannot do better if your throughput needs are met by this device.

Just does it & fast

I've been using ubiquiti kit now for years and it just does it!! Easy to deploy and cracking range. Can be set up in about 10 mins with an app on your phone then just plug it in! Works best with other air max kit as this is their standard.

Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation 5AC Loco Wireless Network Bridge LOCO5AC (NS-5ACL)

I used this kit to install 4G broadband, with an EE unlimited data sim powering the whole thing. It was easy to install, and everything has worked like clockwork ever since. Recommended!

Ubiquiti makes solid equipment at great prices.

Those of us in the business buy these for a reason. They are a great CPE if you have a router that already has POE out. If you are looking for mounts or power supplies, there are other products that Ubiquiti makes that are more suited for your needs. If all you need is a radio without the added cost of a POE, this is the one for you.

Won't work with an M capable access point

It's not well advertised, but these are NOT compatible with the M capable access points.
