What ip you need to set in your pc to setup all that?
I need your help. Where and when can I use an omnidirectional antenna. I am starting my own WIPS I will also be selling IPTV service my server is in the cloud I have a service that I can also resell
what is the control program you use , for point to Multipoint ??? keep up the good work , your videos have taught me alot
Well done test – we are an Audio Video company in the Palm Springs, California area – and we are a Ubiquity dealer …. using their products "occasionally" on commercial installations …. always with XLNT results. Keep up the good work – enjoyed your video-review! ,……… dennis
Chris, I realize this video is 2 years old, but I'm curious if you ever tried the longer distance test shown here after assigning a specific low-band frequency to the AP rocket… that way, when you scan for an AP from the station, you can eliminate picking up all the other wifi signals between the 2 devices.
Good day sie Chris
What device you can suggest
Im planning for a ptp setuo
Through trees
My isp: 20mbps only..
how many meters do you think there will be an excellent signal with a line of sight
please conduct a test in line of sight, please, please
Chris, thank you for your time spent making these videos. Extremely helpful. I have some experience setting up PTP M2 and M5s. I recently set up a M2 PTP at my house for remote gate control and camera connectivity. When I enabled the M2 for PTP, my wife’s AirPods get real choppy when she’s inside the house where one of the M2s are located. Now, normally I can use this “choppy” signal to my advantage! When she calls me, I tell her I can’t hear her and I get to hang up!! However, this is not good for her business which requires her to be on her phone a lot at home (must be nice)! So either way I get an ear full. Do you have any experience with M2s interfering with AirPods? I’m running the lowest power settings and 20mhz spacing on the M2s. Thanks in advance.
3:22 illegal tx power at 28dbm, also overloading rf chip
Lots of very green vegetation, so no chance. Plus when it rains you can halve the range again.
Hello I have a question. I have 5Ghz radio and I'm about 3000ft away from my other 5Ghz radio. There is no line of sight, but the stuff in the ways only some tree limbs. It's Definitely not a forest but there's some limbs in the way. Would switching to 2.4Ghz radio be a good option instead of 5Ghz? Thank you
I've got nanostation m2 for years it works perfectly and today I've got the nanostation m5 but signal is much weaker than the m2 even I did a comparison by hanging them one next to another and the m2 is much better I'm already thinking they sold me some broken antenna or I can't set it up properly
Hi Chris of
Crosstalk Solutions
I am just wondering if the Nano Station M5 can operate Point to Point Bridge or point to point in non clear line of site at a distance of 300 meters and at least 15 meters on top of my roof?
Please help me out!
hello sir. can i use AMO 2G10 onmi antenna to my rocket 5ac lite (R5AC-LITE)? i am using this for ptmp. the maximum client distance is 2.5 kilometer,,
Hi I'm looking to build a long range, lightweight tripod mounted antenna (for RV use) for use to access open networks (such as libraries, stores, hotels and Xfinity open for account holders) , Key features must be LAN wired and directional (since I dont want to be irradiated by the microwaves) I could have a booster like maybe the bullet Ti but under 600 Mw. Either a mini dish or Biquad (but small enough to not catch the wind and topple though tripod has anchor pints) The way this would work would be to take the antenna and discretely place as much as 100 feet away from my computer aimed at the transmitting router. This distance will ensure that I will be safely out of harm's way. While line of sight is optimal thru trees and buildings is typical atleast a minimal 1000 feet. I would like to pickup a signal to carry me thru Youtube at atleast 720p and Counter Strike Source and maybe have some automatic mac changer (like Tmac v6 for stores that have a time out after say an hour.) Budget $500. (Plus any Cellular side accessories)
And alternate method would be to use a Wireless hotspot (like the Jetpack 8800) and either feed in power from the LAN maybe? (or I would just run an equal length of a 2 pin, maybe 22 Awg powering the device which would bring the amplified hotspot bubble up close and in the vicinity of the tripod [because tethering repeater extension cords to my knowledge at 100 ft dont support device charging well) up and out of harms way of my genitals and then have the antenna pickup the signal and transmit back to my laptop)
About a decade ago I had a flat panel 30dbi Canadian RaLink usb antenna (even had a popular video which I deleted entering seclusion partly protesting censorship and which someone stole just prior and here remains up to this day) but ensuring connectivity was sporadic especially with some routers and so seeking an updated version.
Just used what I learned in this video to connect 2 Nanobeam 2.4 AC through some pretty serious forest. The distance is about 100 yards. This is a rural location with virtually no other 2.4 nearby. The only option was a low install height of 6 feet. Getting about 50/50 which works for the application needed. Thanks for showing it could work.
Is there a detailed write up or video anywhere with how to set up the PtP or PtMP with the current software? I’m looking to deploy my first Airmax setup
Does cpe and wifi router channels interfere each other?
I’d love to see this test done using a raiseable mount (maybe something like a section of pipe set into the ground with a second section that could be raised with something like a light boat winch).
That way, you could try the test again at different levels. Maybe you could also have several WAPs running at different frequencies, all mounted at the top of the pole, and you could then test them all at the same time, and see which works best, and at which height.
I was also a little concerned at how the cables were exposed between the Prism unit ant the Antenna. In my part of the world, Parrots love chewing through exposed cables like this. Have you looked at ways to Bird-proof installations like this (e.g. installing wire mesh around the exposed cables, and maybe also extending the mesh down around the Prism unit as well. to protect it, or would wire mesh upset the signal at that point)?
Dear sir !
I have plain point to point nanostation m2, from 13km can do or not sir?
The testing is very interesting. Thank you for that. I want to setup a mutipoint ok n my property. How do I determine what I need before buying hardware? I assume you can't buy, test, and return.
Greetings. What is that beautiful temporary pole stand/mount you used on the nanostation side? I would love to get my hands on one for site surveys. Looked through your links, but couldn't find.
How if I use this 13dBi Omni Antenna with UAP-Outdoor+ in my wide back yard? I want to provide access to my guests (mobile phones) in my 200m x 200m back yard. Is it good to use this setup for directly connecting mobile users to this antenna and AP?
but how did u program the rocket as an ap
Hi Chris, you might have gotten this question before, but i'm new here – Can I use that omini directional antenna and connect it to my router and extend its range, or does it require the use of the Rocket AC prism? does the Prism provide any power to the antenna?
Hi, Chris… Is there a problem using the antenna in the station side? My setup is with an ap rocket m2 with stock antennas on a mobile robot at one side and a station rocket m2 with an amo 2g13 antenna on the other.
Is there smt wrong?
Thanks Chris, great info.
First off, THANK YOU CROSSTALK! You have earned a customer for life. I own a small business doing security and networking, and you have certainly earned a customer when I have a need for this type of equipment.
I used this video, and put everything together MOSTLY identical. Worked PERFECTLY. Two separate buildings, one ~200 feet away, very light obstructions. From R2AC with the 10 dbi, to a Nanostation M2. I chose the Nanostation M2 because of its secondary RJ-45 and pass through PoE capability. Single PoE injector pushing power to M2, and from secondary port on M2, to AC-Lite, and a free LAN port at the injector. consistent 80 mbps over wifi. Second leg was ~800 feet, absolutely NO LINE OF SIGHT. Same setup, consistent 55-60 mbps over wifi. I was getting good signal a quarter mile away, in my truck, with NLOS, while driving to the barn. Straight line from that point would bring me through horse pastures and trees, so my .25 mile was much different than his, mind you.
This was my first time using them, but Im sold on Ubiquiti, and Crosstalk will be getting my business when possible. His videos were SO incredibly helpful..
What device you tested best results even lot of trees Sir?
I know this is an old video… But, I'm trying to figure out if it would even be worth it to try but the trees here are just outragedly tall (Charleston, SC) …. But I have a building(s) and other structures that I manage their network so getting an antenna on the roof is not a problem But… I can get the signal over the trees most of the distance but, for the last few 100 feet or so it would be blasting trees and who knows what else…. And it's not really worth it to rent tower space here as the providers in this area are very much greedy and want 1000s or not 10's of 1000's for a small about of tower space…
Great video. Curious if a directional antenna at the AP would have enabled you to detect the signal at either of the 1/4 mile stations.
What about 900 mhz test?
good testing sir 👍
I have exactly the same setup. These antennas have a donwtilt angle. This one has 4'. So it has to be at a higher position for the nanostation to be in the sweatspot. Also the gain of the rocket2 can be adjusted. Did you have it at maximum? Thanks for the great videos. Interested to see what further experiments you will do with this setup.
This test was with an omni (possibly has a downtilt) and nano, would be interested to see this same test using 2 powerbeams.
Um, yeah. 1/4 mile through trees at 10ft….. not gonna get anything. lol
2.4 isnt that good..
Can you use a litebeam ac gen2 airmax on this system?
great info, thanks for posting it. sounds like 900 is the safer option, its almost guaranteed to work. even if 2.4 worked at the beginning, who knows what interference may pop up in future. thanks again –
Hi Chris. Assuming that the rocket is out up on a mask high enough and there is line of sight and it is paired to multiple nanostations (5). Can the rocket handle the traffic? We are talking about HD surveillance traffic from all directions.
iya itu karena loakasi di hutang , kalo di kota mungkin akanterjadi interpernt
frekuensi
Good day sir Cris, can I use this omni setup as a access point to connect smart phones and laptops? I'm here waiting for your generous reply. Thank you sir.
Would the 900 work at those distances?
Hello I need your opinion. With TP-Link CPE510 should it work with a 500m with a few trees blocking?
Hi. can you help me which equipment I should get. Distance is 1km have line of site just to connect my 2 houses. What is the best setup for me thanks
