Ubiquiti Networks BULLET DUAL-BAND AC AIRMAX

Cumplió la necesidad, necesitaba realizar un enlace con una nanoloco y una M5 que superaban la cobertura de otras por los ángulos, la bullet con una antena omni de 11db funcionó perfecto con un excelente precio

I bought the Ubiquiti Bullet AC IP67 to use as a Wi-Fi client (to catch marina/hotel Wi-Fi). Unfortunately, out of the box, it runs 2WA firmware which only supports airMAX bridge modes — it cannot connect to regular hotspots. Ubiquiti support confirmed that only airMAX mode is available by default, but didn’t offer the correct firmware. However, the Bullet is fully capable of standard Wi-Fi client mode. The fix is to flash it with the WA (Wi-Fi-capable) firmware. This isn’t listed on the official download page, but you can find it via community archives like ubnt.su — I used the WA v8.7.1 build and it worked perfectly. Pros: Rugged IP67 design, great radios, good performance once configured. Cons: Ubiquiti doesn’t make it easy to use as a simple Wi-Fi client — you need to hunt down the right firmware. Bottom line: Great hardware for client use — once you’ve flashed WA firmware. Otherwise, out-of-the-box it’s locked to airMAX and doesn’t meet the standard Wi-Fi use case.

Dose what its designed to and more.

Awesome product for Wi-Fi coverage over difficult links. Easy to set up.

BEWARE when buying the Bullet AC. It only operates in AirMax mode. It is not possible to disable AirMax. Which means in bridge mode it will not connect to a non-AirMax hotspot. If you try to bridge to a Netgear, TP Link, or other non-ubiquiti wifi, it will not work. It also doesn't link to Ubiquiti hotspots that are not AirMax enabled. If bridging to other hotspots is your intention, then you want the Bullet M series device, not the AC. I didn't know if it should get 1 star or 5 stars. I guess 5 if you use AIrMax, 1 if you don't. I love the Bullet M and Rocket M series of devices, but this AC version is not as configurable.

Bought this unit as an upgrade to an old bullet M2 that I use for creating a small network for an office group. It was not compatible with any of the M2 or M5 Nano Station Locos. It is AC compatible only! This was not clearly indicated in any of the info so had to return it. No M2/M5 Dual option . . . . .

Ubiquiti is a good product, but their AC bullets are not for RV'S. Will only connect to their Airmax wifi's, not all campgrounds have Airmax. Regular M bullets let you turn off Airmax only.

AIRMAX!! Be aware this won't function like previous Bullet devices as part of a mobile access point client as deployed by many boaters and RV'ers. It will only connect to other Airmax devices. I had a lot of difficulty getting a browser to connect due to security certificate issues. Firefox refused to connect to the device as instructed, and IE kept popping up security warnings that prevented configuration. Very frustrating even for a computer geek. It's on its way back, just can't use it in my application. I'm sure in a PtP as it's intended it's fine.
