Review: Tips N Tricks - The Nano Loco 5AC is one of my personal favorite stations for ptmp and ptp as they work great for fairly long distances. A few things I noticed in other reviews that may be misleading are addressed below: You will need to buy at least 2 to do ptp and ptmp. These aren’t routers that will generate an ssid. They are more like wireless Ethernet with outputs to plug into a router or wireless access point. These do NOT come with POE (power over Ethernet) injectors, so if you don’t own a ubiquiti 24v Poe injector or UISP/edge switch/router, you won’t be able to even turn it on. These are super simple to setup, but require a few pre requisites. You first need to go to UISP.com, register a site (all of the setup steps are completely free, absolutely zero monthly payments), then plug in one the nano locos with an Ethernet cord to the Poe port located on the injector. The other port is to be plugged into the back of your router, switch, or dedicated permanent Ethernet run to the nano locos best point for line of sight. You can then either go to a desktop/laptop on the same network, go to your UISP site (myuispsite.UISP.com) then go to the device tab. A popup should appear asking you to adopt a device. A simpler route would be to download the UISP mobile app on your phone, then sign in to your site, hit the plus button, then setup your device. You shouldn’t have to change anything but the name, ssid, and password (further detailed instructions are included). You then take the second nano and plug it into Poe and your local internet, but instead tell it to link with your first loco. You then move it to your remote location, plug the injector into wall power and the other lan port to a router for the remote buildings WiFi. They aren’t super difficult, they are a great value, and they outperform all competition. Ubiquiti makes great products in not just the UISP line, but also the UniFi line ui.com
Review: Entry camera 1/2 mile from my home up and running in less than a day. - I installed a entry camera at my ranch used these Ubiquiti units. I am a rancher and NOT an electrical engineer. With my minimal knowledge and experience I was able to get the camera installed and running in less than two hours. It covers a distance of about 1/2 mile and the picture quality is great. I am using a PTZ camera with vehicle and human recognition and all systems work well Signal strength was not affected by the recent rain/snow storm and we maintained great connectivity throughout the storm and sub-freezing temperatures. The coverage from my access point will allow me to install additional cameras in the barn beyond the entrance camera. Very pleased with customer support, build quality, and ease of installation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can’t choose united states on set up, it is not an option. i chose canada, then i went in and updated it, but still no way to change it to us. help?**
A: You were scammed by the seller.  Multiple sellers are selling on this listing; some are legit, while others (like East Hub Ltd) are scammers fraudulently selling the cheaper international unit (Loco5AC) instead of the FCC registered unit (Loco5AC-US) clearly advertised on the listing and legally required for use in the US.  You will have to return the defective equipment and buy from a more reputable seller in the future to solve this problem.  I would strongly recommend finding out who the seller was in your case (it will say on your Amazon order invoice) and leaving negative seller feedback on their profile saying what they did.  This is the only way to protect future buyers.

**Q: Includes power adapter?**
A: No this is just the Radio, you will need a passive PoE supply to support the radio.

**Q: Are these authentic for use in US? I see comments they are not.**
A: Not sure what you mean by "authentic" but I use Ubiquiti equipment for many applications including the Ubiquiti NanoStation 5AC Loco, 5 GHz airMAX for Ethernet, Security, and CCTV applications all over DC, VA, MD, and PA area. It works great and is very dependable.
Hope this helps.

**Q: Does this work with a standard 802.3af PoE switch or does it require a proprietary power supply?**
A: This actually only works with a 24v passive PoE supply. 802.af is 48v
The non-loco version which is twice the price is one of the few Ubiquiti PtP radios that supports both 24 and 48v power. 
However, ubiquiti makes an adapter for $20 you can use to connect the Loco (or any 24v passive device) to 802.3af switches.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review from certified Ubiquiti technician
*by A***D on March 1, 2021*

I am a Ubiquiti certified technician. That means I am a glorified I.T. guy. I have been using Ubiquiti products for 10 years - they get better and better every year. This bridge set up is no exception. Please understand this before buying this product 1- It is NOT a wireless access point 2- It is NOT user friend to set up 3- You have to have 2 for them to work. 1 will not do anything for you. Think of these units as a simple wire between two points. They transmit a wireless link. They do not provide Wireless access unless you by an AP and attach to them I use them for my clients frequently when they need internet 100 feet away or 1000 feet away. I have used these little devices up to a mile before and they can actually go further. They come with a default IP address of 192.168.1.20. You can access the GUI (Graphical User Interface) from any web browser. The default IP user name is : ubnt The default password is : ubnt There are many videos that will show you how to set them up. Great little devices. I highly recommend Andrew Byrd Andrew Byrd Networks
