Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M5
I just started using this little neat device, as an access point for providing 5 GHz wifi to my macbook pro’s at home.
The first time I got to work with Ubiquiti equipment, was at the Peace and Love Festival 2011, and since then I have been reading and looking into all of their products, which indeed are very interesting – good performance and low-cost!
I believe that Ubiquiti Networks has started of with really nice solutions.
Even though the antenna is fairly directional, I get a very good reception all over my house when it’s just hanging in the corner of one of the rooms here.
Streaming 1080p video (matroska, xvid, mpeg4) from my NAS over SMB works without problems.
The only real drawback is the 100 mbps RJ45 port, which limits the wireless speed of 300 mbps. Currently my macbook is connected with a transmit rate of 216 mbps, and I’m even on another floor in the opposite corner.
