Ubiquiti NBE-M5-16 5GHz NanoBeam M5 16dBi Kit Complete Pre-Configured

Purchased in October 2020 and still runs well as of writing January 2024. Personally I’m not tech savy so couldn’t setup myself so my brother set it up for us. First few months did have problems keeping both antennas calibrated together and once every few weeks brother would have to come and reconnect them. He finally got them calibrated to continue using internet and also found out our router was contributing to connectivity issues. To this day we don’t really have any issues unless the power cuts off at one property or power surge or breaker trips.(doesn’t happen often) and have to physically unplug both antennas at the same time, and plug them in at the same time, in order for them to reconnect to each other. Would absolutely love it if the power blocks actually came with a reset button or switch so we could simply push the button instead of unplugging from the way. To this day we have no idea how to program them to automatically reconnect to each other if such power issues happen. Thankfully doesn’t happen often but is cumbersome when it does because have to make sure someone is at other property to be able to unplug and plug-in at the exact same time.(have to call each other and countdown and plug in at the exact same time or antennas won’t sync) overall good quality product, has worked magnificent in all sorts of weather.(heavy rains, strong winds, snow, -10 degree wrather, 110 degree days etc) very good internet speeds as well. My main source of internet is definitely higher speed but is fiber optic connected and getting 70-80+ on the antennas receiving end is still very good if you ask me

This “KIT” was NOT pre programmed and Neither unit was labeled Transmit or Receive.. I had to configure this myself.. Which was NOT ideal!

Excellent product! Very easy to set up! Easily gives wi-fi out to our pole barn! Highly recommend!

Tracking this product was easy.

Great product, perfect operation, 1750' distance from home base in our application and 98mb down and 38mb up with 2 ms more ping than homebase.

Product itself was fine as it was factory sealed. Because of that, they were not pre-configured as advertised.

This was easy to set up and it has worked for several months at a range of 350 feet.

We got these for telemetering data from a field station on a 350-foot line-of-sight run, and spent upwards of two hours trying to get them aligned in sub-zero conditions. Finally threw in the towel and took them into the office , where we found we had two receivers. So we had to reconfigure one of them to be the master, after looking at about thirty youtube videos. Once that was accomplished, we took them back into the field and they aligned to five-LEDs, full-strength, on the first go. Since then, the connection has been rock-solid. So, "pre-configured" isn't exactly true. "identically configured" is probably a more accurate description.
