CLD Kevin Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Yes....everything (Nano's and controllers) on the same Network. It worked fine before. I was going to check to see if somehow it lost its configuration and went back to default but 3am was my cut off time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember what I showed you... I am old ya know.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLD Kevin Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I was able to login the receiver unit again today. But can not get past that point. Once the replace unit arrives, we'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLD Kevin Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 PROBLEM SOLVED. Replaced receiver unit tonight and works like a champ!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasmadrive Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 So It was the receiver unit after all.. How strange.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackwolfK9 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Just to understand, using the Ubiquiti devices precludes having to run cables to ethernet switches all over the place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasmadrive Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 It is like a single wireless cable for Ethernet. You still have to distribute the signal.. so you still need switches and so on.. but the Ubiquiti will allow you the same as a single cable run thousands of feet or shorter of course. I use one to get from my house eves to the front yard. I still have to put a switch in the yard to connect the other devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Just to understand, using the Ubiquiti devices precludes having to run cables to ethernet switches all over the place? To clarify a bit. Kevin needed to get ethernet about a quarter mile. This could have been done with multiple switches provided there was a cable route available (there was), and power and shelter (both from weather and security). The other viable alternative would be to use fiber optic cable. This would also require physical access for a cable route, but no intermediate switches. He is using a Ubiquiti 5 GHz microwave path (largely on my recommendation) from where the computer is to where the E1.31 controllers are. This is not a viable alternative for getting ethernet to multiple places in your yard - but would work to get across a street where yo have no ability to run a cable.

It is an expensive way to get a few feet, but sometimes that is the only way to cross certain areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Yes, it can be done, but it's a rather expensive way to accomplish what reasonably normal WiFi could have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasmadrive Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Jim, I had a problem with WiFi bridged.. worked well with only a router and an AP.. when I added another AP it would sometimes stop and play catch up. Was very annoying. But with only one AP.. worked pretty good.. and like you said, WAY less money.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLD Kevin Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Still working like a champ!! Purchased a couple more units as backup. Pushing 9000+ channels with no problem or lag. Thanks Jim for the suggestion and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLD Kevin Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I purchased my off Amazon, but saw them on eBay and other places. Ubiquiti Nanostation LOCO M5 Outdoor MIMO 11n 5GHz. locoM5 (2 pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HG1CTDW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_3GSpwbVMTJYF7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackwolfK9 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 So you are running E1.31 on Nano's.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackwolfK9 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 So the Ubiquiti products can be used to E1.31 controllers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viennaxmas Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 May be depending what Ubiquity. And how they are configured. I tried the Unify to stream E1.31 from my iPad - absolutely no luck. However I us d a dedicated SSID/VLAN and tracking it showed that the latency on the main SSID was around 3ms (acceptable) and on the second one was never below 60ms which makes multicast fail. I also noticed that they sometimes still show good signal but transfer absolutely no data. But that was on Unify. No experience with the Nano. What I heard they are a lot better. If you need real distance - how about monoxide fiber? You could go for miles... Also: as long as you have a switch every 300ft you can cascade several of them to get distance.
