Wireless Bridge Ubiquiti LOCO5AC PRE-CONFIGURED, Bundle of 2 Ubiquiti Nanostation LOCO 5AC, Point to Point Outdoor WiFi Bridge, Plugh and Play, 5GHz, 450+Mbps, 10+km Link Range, Network Bridge

Installation took right on an hour, setup was immediate. Very much plug and play. Running at 400mbps with a 1gbps feed so I'd say the device is maxed out at a distance of 1500 feet in my installation. Do remember the Fresnel effect when setting up your system. Super important. My stations are 25' off the ground and LOS without any trees or buildings. Just to test I lowered the units to 15 feet and the speed dropped off to 100 mbps. Back up to 25' they go. Also these worked well in the rain with no drop out.

I purchased a cheaper alternative to this a year ago to establish a connection to a remote camera and a gate with smart controls. This cheaper option gave me headache after headache.After getting this, setup was a breeze. Literally just plugged in on both sides, aimed the devices at eachother and they connected. I didn’t even clear the trees. My devices are about 500ft away from eachother and I haven’t had 1 issue since installing.I didn’t even clear purchase an access point to setup by my gate nd camera though. These devices only have 1 Ethernet output on them and as far as I know do not broadcast a signal from the far end for wireless devices to connect to. But simple enough I just put an access point at the far end plugged into this device and works perfectly.

This brand is great quality and works perfectly right out of the box. They also have an App that connects to the units for configuration and monitoring. Nine months and going strong in all types of extreme weather.

This is the second set of these I have installed. First set was not pre configured. Get the pre configured ones. I’ve had the first set for about 5 years for internet to my barn. They work great. This set was for a family member. Easy setup.

This device is just fantastic. It eliminates my cable that I was using cat6 or betterIt gives me the ability to access my ISP which is fiber and it gives me the ability to not have to have wires buried or running along the ground which I had previouslyI had a cable break and it was buried under the ground and I would have to pull it back through the conduit in order to replace itThis was easy to do. Easy to set up. It's range is fantastic. It's I can't say enough great things about this

TLDR:. These are configured with weak network securityHaving them preconfigured is a time saver, but it has its associated risk. They all ship with the same username and password. Sure, the chances of someone having a nanostation and wanting to snoop on you is extremely unlikely, but not zero. These broadcast an additional management wireless channel you can connect to like a regular wireless router. This is for configuring and managing the device, and it shuts off 8 hours after you first power it on. So to connect it needs power cycling (flip a breaker or after a power outage). Once you connect you are on the same lans you are bridging. Install malicious firmware, tunnel ports, run local DOS attacks. Snoop on traffic. Pivot to other network devices. Game over. With a randomly generated password s all these risks could be mitigated. At least warn users to set new passwords. I suspect the seller has paired a set themselves, and then simply cloned the config files for every other pair they sell. It’s a quick way to make some fast money.

Returned extenders to Amazon after 4 hours of effort to connect. Was not successful. User guide has insufficient detail. Required an app no longer available on Apple Store. Graphics of iPhone settings pages inaccurate. PoE step down device to 24V is finicky and requires extra purchases. For a product promoted as nearly plug-and -play, these require a lot of steps to set up. In the end, I gave up.

Great Wi-Fi solution getting signal out across long distance property where wiring was not available.
