Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M2 is a
Customer WIFI ($ 80) for external use, is connected by network cable, RJ45 and a nozzle chips Koizumi as does Air Force One 2. Although it inherits the reputation and experience of its big brother the M NanoStation , this team is very poor antenna has 8 dBi (exactly half of NanoStation M) and thus the scope could be half and very poor reception (actually compared with Koizumi, the reception is bad) I were very impressed that raising the antenna 20 meters but not increase the reception and in the Koizumi.
For the size is almost a toy, has almost twice the width of the mast that supports it (it's a third of Koizumi) is only one client (although it appears can be used as AP), too expensive for what it is, has no extra connection, the configuration software is attractive and user accessed and password ubnt ubnt by the web browser, with the default web address or a static IP 192.168.1.20 to give you. Draws much attention LEDs on the back, but can not find the utility, rather than to see you're on and perhaps the intensity of the signal as it can be covered by the same mast.
I see it as a client short range in a very small area about 300 meters high hurdles, which connects a cable, configure it, find the access point and run, but do not seek or receive long reach many remote AP. If I have to say that has more experience than Koizumi, more stable and certainly more reliable equipment.
This equipment is NOT for those seeking to capture a lot of AP, AP and connect to remote, for that is her older brother NanoStation M (but very expensive! $ 130) and is the direct rival compared with the Air Force One 2 Kozumi v3, but this team is very cheap, $ 64, almost half the price!
I can say this because I am in possession of a Kozumi Air Force One 2 v3 and now just buy NanoStation Loco 2, and the first thing I noticed is that the reception of AP is very poor compared with Koizumi, which received 28 AP and NanoStation Loco 2 only 10 AP, all in the same conditions!.
So where is the problem, I bought the KOZUMI and ready?
Just when you buy the Kozumi found an article from someone who commented that Koizumi was damaged if used at times of lightning, so almost completely lost reception and that is exactly what I happened, so this is the highlight of ubiquitin
Ubiquiti teams have an immunity to noise and interference than other teams, is an efficient protection to the peaks that are generated in radio frequency and Ethernet + - 15000 Volts, when an electric shock and static currents , this would damage any integrated circuit that is not protected decent, here is my point, the price is high because they have enough experience to make equipment that support a deal in this type of weather conditions, apparently KOZUMI this is still not resolved. Although for many it goes unnoticed, it is extremely important to not be changing teams in each storm, but Ubiquiti this is posted on its website as important, but found no explanation as this protection, there is also a shielded cable and connectors that allow connection of ground wire, & # 160; special Ubiquiti but does not say whether they should be used for protection, or is an additional protection. Unfortunately
price and not finding enough information, I bought the Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M2, not that it is bad, it's more going great, but my needs were a strongest team and this is left short, so if you are to buy a home unit, albeit more expensive, choose the NanoStation M series, only with the photo you will notice the difference in size, that is the antenna that is twice, and this is much difference to receive and transmit functions in addition to AP, etc. ..
reset to factory settings from the Reset button
These devices by connecting POE (Ubiquiti, Koizumi, TP-Link, etc.) Have a huge drawback is that if you mess up in the settings but you can not access the setup menu of the device through the browser and it may be done again by pressing the Reset that has in its interior, so it should be up where the antenna is reset it, this is a grave error to design any resolved, incredible! could have used a pair of wires to make the Reset from the nozzle or something.
To access Ubiquiti setup menu is accessed through a browser web, introducing the default IP or fixed IP 192.168.1.20 that we've set ourselves, we must first be putting these values \u200b\u200bin manually configuring your network connection, after changing the configuration of Ubiquiti, we put configuration , AUTOMATIC network connection in order to give in to the web sites.
To reset, the device must be switched on (at least for 1 minute, to have finished booting) and then must hold the reset button for 8 seconds the lights just release them back and you're all settings factory as (in bridge mode without a valid AP, static IP 192.168.1.20, username: ubnt, password: ubnt)
A good option when you have an antenna broken equipment as I do and buy the BULLET 2.4 (80 U.S. $), much more powerful (600MW) and gives more scope (50 kilometers using a satellite dish, eye this can cost $ 200).
The Bullet can be connected to any WIFI antenna is the white tube that appears below the two antennas, and who have installed and use them told me they work very well !, but I found out too Later, he had compared the NanoStation Loco M2
The page is www.ubnt.com , nice to see your products to know to choose but for my taste there is little information.
