Title: Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5 AC Setup Tutorial
Video Description:
In this tutorial, Simon provides a step-by-step guide on setting up the Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5 AC for long-range wireless connectivity. This video is ideal for those looking to establish a reliable wireless link between two distant locations, such as different buildings.
Key Steps in the Video:
- Unboxing and Introduction:
- Simon unboxes two Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5 AC units (labeled as ‘A’ and ‘B’ for transmitter and receiver).
- He shows the components including the ball joint mount, injector (PoE), and Ethernet cables.
- Initial Setup:
- He connects the PoE injector to the ‘A’ unit (transmitter) and powers it on.
- An Ethernet cable from the PoE injector is connected to Simon’s desktop for configuration.
- Network Configuration on the Computer:
- Simon demonstrates setting a static IP (192.168.1.19) on his computer to communicate with the NanoBeam’s default IP (192.168.1.20).
- Accessing the Ubiquiti Interface:
- He accesses the NanoBeam’s web interface by entering 192.168.1.20 in a browser and logs in using the default credentials (ubnt/ubnt).
- Configuring the ‘A’ Unit:
- In the System settings, Simon sets a new password for the device.
- Under Wireless settings, he sets the mode to ‘Access Point’, chooses an SSID (e.g., internet_akf), sets channel width (40MHz), and sets power output (3).
- He enables WPA2 security and sets a Wi-Fi password.
- Configuring the ‘B’ Unit:
- Simon repeats similar steps for the ‘B’ unit (receiver) but sets the wireless mode to ‘Station’. He locks the SSID to the ‘A’ unit’s SSID.
- Finalizing and Testing the Setup:
- After applying the settings, Simon reconnects his computer to the router and restores its network settings to obtain an IP address automatically.
- He tests the internet connectivity to confirm the setup is successful.
- Conclusion:
- The tutorial concludes with Simon explaining the options for connecting the devices to a network and checking the connectivity lights on the NanoBeams for confirmation.
