The device supports Wi-Fi Protected Access standards, WPA and WPA2 across the 11 channels available. Otherwise, the Ubiquiti Nanostation M2 supports the standard wireless authentication levels. One of the major points to highlight is any devices that you require connecting to the device will need installing correctly, otherwise they simply won’t work. The LED display, within the box, displays the power status, WAN, LAN and signal status clearly. A mounting bracket and strap may also be purchased to support the device in aerial locations or what a mounting bracket is not already available however, these typically have to be purchased separately from the device itself. The device itself requires 8 Watts of power to function, which is amply provided through a PoE (Passive over Ethernet) system, removing the requirement to place equipment where there is a dedicated power supply. There are no protruding parts, as everything is contained within the protective plastic casing which can protect the inner cargo at extreme temperatures such as -30C to +80C. Give the matt white finish, the device is, to put it simply, aesthetically pleasing and modern looking. Measuring 29.4cm by 8cm and 3cm with and approximate weight 4kg, the Ubiquiti Nanostation M2 is a sleek and looking product which as previously highlighted, doesn’t look out of place irrespective of its environment. Apart from this the device also features two Ethernet ports with software to support the POE output. This device is an outdoors wireless g/n router which supports both the standard 802.11n and 802.11g on a 2.4GHz frequency range which can support connections for up to 15km from the tower providing a stable 150Mbps service. The M2 is the “non-international” sister of the M5.
