How do I connect my NanoStation M5 to WiFi?
Connection
- Turn on Sphere PoE.
- Connect Sphere PoE jack to either NanoStation M5 Ethernet port (Primary or Secondary)
- Connect one of the remaining available Ethernet ports on the Sphere or the NanoStation to a local router / Internet-connected network.
Can you use NanoStation M5 as Accesspoint?
You’ll then need to log in with the default username and password of “ubnt”. The first step is to configure the wireless tab so the NanoStation acts as a WiFi Access Point. Change the settings according to the below picture. Be sure to set the device up with WPA2 security and an appropriate WiFi password here.
How does NanoStation M5 work?
We install a wireless device (either a Ubiquiti Nanostation M5 or Ubiquiti Nanostation Loco M5 depending on location) on the outside of your premises which then points to our network of repeater stations. This then passes the signal back to our core router, which then passes it to the internet.

What is WDS transparent bridge mode?
WDS(Wireless Distribution System) is a means to transparently bridge wireless APs. What exactly does transparent bridging mean? A transparent bridge is basically turning your wireless links into an ethernet cable. It takes anything put into one side and spits it out on the other.
Does NanoStation m5 support 2.4 Ghz?
Featuring 2×2 MIMO technology, the new NanoStation links significantly faster and farther than ever before. Next Gen Antenna Design: New antenna array designs featuring 16dBi dual-polarity gain at 5GHz and 11dBi dual-polarity 11dBi at 2.4GHz. Both with optimized cross-polarity isolation and in a compact form-factor.
What is a point to point wireless bridge?
In Wi-Fi networking, a point-to-point wireless bridge lets users wirelessly connect two or more locations together. This bridge enables users to share an Internet connection between two or more locations and to share files and other types of data across the network.
Is WDS same as repeater?
WDS may also be considered a repeater mode because it appears to bridge and accept wireless clients at the same time (unlike traditional bridging). However, with the repeater method, throughput is halved for all clients connected wirelessly.
What is the difference between Client bridge and WDS bridge?
When using WDS Station the device is effectively like a Client Bridge but maintains the integrity of a WDS link in terms MAC address transparency. (You can connect as many WDS Stations to a WDS AP as you require because you do not rely on the WDS Link Settings and simply do a Site Survey to connect to the WDS AP.)
How do I add a Ubiquiti access point to an existing network?
- Step 1a: connect the access point. Take the power cable and network cable for the access point.
- Step 1b: Connect with Power over Ethernet. Ubiquiti access points also all work via Power over Ethernet.
- Step 2: install the software. Open the download page of Ubiquiti in an internet browser.
- Step 3: set up the access point.
Can you use Ubiquiti access point with any router?
UniFi Wi-Fi access points are not routers, which is why you’ll need to use something else as your router. This is likely going to be what your Internet provider gave you, or whatever existing all-in-one Wi-Fi router you were using before. Yes, you will need something to deliver power to the access points.
