Ubiquiti UniFi Building Bridge

I purchased a different brand originally from CCTV supplier at half the price of this kit, but they were unreliable and didn't pass VLAN traffic. In comparison, this P2P link / bridge was so easy to setup and passes VLAN traffic. I used a long screw through the middle of the mount as I could not find where to buy the original wall mount and this worked fine. Setup was really easy, I stressed about putting the two devices the right way round, but it does not matter and the cloud Key v2 picked them up, updated them and they just worked. I noticed after I had put my ladders away that they were not even really pointed at each other and there were parts of a bush growing in between but they still had a perfect and fast connection. However, being a perfectionist I corrected the direction and did what I could with the bush. The distance between them is 22M and I found that a good indicator that they are pointing at each other is if this is similarly detected in the config. After 2 months and not knowing if the gardener has chopped the bush as I requested, the link has stayed up without a single drop out even dropping to the lower speed link. After a couple of power cuts, the links have come back online quickly and without intervention. They are connected to an Arkanis managed POE+ switch so I can remotely power cycle the POE on the ports just in case there is a problem. Ubiquity does it again with a great product.

I replaced a pair of PowerBeam dishes with these. I did not need the range of the PowerBeams and they were old, causing problems with my Unifi network. The UBBs installed easily, had a great LED alignment system which allowed me to align both by myself, installed easily, and have performed reliably with good data speed. Not cheap, but worth the price.

Problème de adoption après un coupure de d'électricité l'appareil ne marchait plus. Je l'ai débrancher, reset et rebrancher pour adopter mais rien. J'ai essayé plusieurs fois pas de résultat positif. Il me demande de brancher la station alors je l'ai déjà branché. Je demandé de l'aide au forum de ubiquiti mais toujours pas de réponse. Je le déconseille.

Product is good although one POE Injector was faulty. I stopped trying to get a response from the vendor after several emails. Amazon pointed me to the vendors as by the time this materials was installed customer site the 30 days Amazon limit timed out.

Alles bestens!

I bought these bridges to replace a pair of Netgear Airbridges that had limited throughput. I was using them to beam the Internet from my house to my office about 90 feet away. My Comcast Business internet plan speed is 800 mbps download/35 mbps upload.. The best I could get in rural MA. The best the Airbridges allowed was 45 mbps download. I installed these Ubiquiti UBB units a few days ago. The Quickstart "instructions" were pretty useless because there were really no steps to follow. The part about using their Gateway Switch or CloudKey was confusing, since no alternative method was listed. I just wanted to plug into my cable modem/router (Technicolor rental). Anyway, that's what I did, replacing the existing PoE injectors from the two AirBridge's with the ones supplied by Ubiquiti, Lan to Lan, PoE to the units. I already had Cat8 shielded outdoor cables installed to the exterior mounts. I aimed them by eye as best I could and powered them up. The LED around the unit lit up in multicolors — red, green, blue. The Quickstart said something about all green meaning they are in alignment, so I adjusted them until they were green. To my eye, they were each pointed slightly downward. I downloaded the Network Administrator app from the AppStore to my iPhone, but it was just the useless Quickstart instructions. I also downloaded the Unifi app for my MacBook Pro. No connectivity. Took a break for a party. Later that evening, somehow I stumbled upon a Devices screen in the Unifi app which gave me the option to Adopt each device. Then a firmware update mysteriously happened. I looked outside, and the LEDs were now blue, meaning they were transmitting the signal. Can't say specifically how that all took place, but whew, glad it happened. Tests on Speedtest.net were now as fast as 801 mbps download and 41 mbps upload, depending upon the server. And the Unifi app says I have 100% connectivity. A huge improvement! That first day was after a rainstorm. We had a snowstorm yesterday and throughput was good. Today it was about 2 degrees F and still good throughput at around 750 mbps/38 mbps. A good investment and big improvement for my productivity. Just need to provide numbered setup instructions which include plugging into a cable modem/router. I turned off the blue LED ring on the edge of the units. I don't want neighbors to be aware of them.
