Ubiquiti UniFi UBB-US IEEE 802.11ad 1.70 Gbit/s Wireless Bridge

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.

Used these two get internet to office about 300 ft from the house works perfectly. Easy to set up and align. Working great haven't seen any issues even in bad weather.

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.

Replaced an old Engenius wireless bridge. Easy install and got it connected to our Unifi AP controller. The WB signal passed through a large tree with full branches at 91% signal strength

These work very well to connect a building that is about 1/2 a mile away line-of-sight. Most of the time it is running at 5Ghz, but I've seen it at 60 too. Either way, it moves sufficient traffic for several cameras and internet at that location.The alignment feature with the lights is quite nice too. Love that feature.HOWEVER, this thing seems susceptible to electrical storms. We had one come through about 3 miles away (so not even close to a nearby hit) and one of the units failed. Yes, it is properly grounded and uses well insulated and shielded CAT6a. The worst part about it is that you can't get one replacement, you have to buy another pair. So I might just go back to the locom5.

I was trying to use this to go from my house to my metal shed then use a wireless router in the shed to disperse my internet. A cable works wonders but is in the way a lot. I got this to stop using the cable. However this is not worth buying as it is not the equivalent of a wireless cable unless it can actually be aligned. If I can't align it within 6ft, going to another building is impossible.0/10 wasted my money.

I was amazed at how easy these were to install and set up. The Unifi app instantly recognized them upon installing them, and they started working within seconds. Speeds are also faster than our wired connection. I was getting 300mbps with wire, but now I am getting over 800mbps.

Wow - Super Easy to install. Very fast network speeds. So small yet so very powerful.
