Question: Can anyone tell me if this product has a built in antenna or you are required to use an external antenna.
Document: I purchased this for use in a Motorhome connected to a WifiRanger Pro. The Ranger has a plug for their own version called the WFRBoost. The Bullet2-HP is higher powered and with a proper antenna can reach an access point MILES away.One caveat is that it is too powerful for close in connections. Dialing down the power settings does not really seem to help. If you try to use it to connect to an access point too close you will over power the access point and not only will it not connect but can cause interference with anyone else trying to connect.I mounted mine to an 8db omni directional antenna.
I used a 3bd Laird Antenna and I'm getting 80%+ signal strength on APs 1/2 mile away. I use these at work and I'm impressed.
This is a grest access point. I purchased it with its ethernet power supply and the eNgenius EAG-2408 antenna as a relatively high power HSMM node for amateur radio use. It took about 15 minutes to get working and is 20 dB more powerful than my previous Linksys system,It only has one ethernet port, so this appears to be perfect for mounting outside to form the mesh, with a Linksys unit inside to connect to the internet if needed and provide connections for the systems.Excellent unit!
That in turn was mounted to a telescoping flag pole with a mount that slides in the receiver hitch. That setup allowed me to connect to a public hotspot at a Marina while camped a couple of miles away on the beach.For a primary use in campgrounds and RV parks I would recommend the lower powered bullet2 and a 3db antenna.I dropped a star because to a novice it can be somewhat intimidating. The interface is intuitive if you have a networking background or are using something like the Ranger. A beginner will be very confused as to how to set one up.
What can you say Ubiquiti makes the best wifi gear hands down. These last twice as long as ANY Cisco product I've used. The software is awesome and works with Linux, Mac , and Windows. You can also use the web interface if you don't want or need to use the site management software. I have used these pint to point with 24 dbi Hyperlink Antennas for links over a mile. Just keep in mind Ubiquiti DOES NOT USE STANDARD POE!!! Please Ubiquiti fire the guy that came up with that really really dumb idea!
I highly recommend reading through the AirOS user guide available from ubiquiti's website to help ensure you take advantage of all this gizmo has to offer.Pro's - No other wifi access point in this price range comes close to the functionality of the bullet (with the exception of other Ubiquiti devices). Well suited to long range links.Cons - Requires intermediate networking experience to properly configure and utilize all built in features. Customer support is limited to the documentation and forum.Update - So far 4 months of unprotected outdoor use and no problems.
I currently am using two of these and 15db 30 degree directional antennas from radiolabs to blast a signal a quarter mile. the path is littered with foliage and attempts at using consumer grade equipment at twice the cost were not working out. With the Bullet you can use built in spectrum analysis to see exactly what channel is clearest. When using other AirOS devices together you can take advantage of non standard bandwidths (5 10 20 40mhz), and even straddle between standard wifi channels for extra security. Proprietary "AirMax" technology works as advertised, and i get a very stable 120mbps connection.
Initial setup took some searching because I didn't care to read the manual. This device is definitely not for a beginner. It's been a stable device.I wouldn't recommend this to anyone that doesn't have any networking experience. It took some manual configuration.
The unit is unable to remain stable, reboots itself often, very buggy and the support site poor.No telephone support, the on-line forum is full of self-serving, so called &#34;professionals&#34; who berate anyone who is not.We have several of these and we're replacing them all.
Item works great when paired with the proper antenna. You should add at the very least electrical tap over the seams an points of connection to prevent water damage.
Answer: This will work marginally without an antenna (e.g. testing password or settings while sitting near corresponding device on a desk) but for useful transmission you'll need an antenna (I suggest an 8dbi like engenius if you just need something basic).
