There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I aligned the dishes only by eyeball, across the 400 foot gap. The gap is not 100% clear. There are some minor obstructions within a foot or two of direct line of site. Might be a bit more obstructed as trees start to bloom.
I've only lightly tested so far, but wireless connections are providing 100Mbps up and down, which is probably as fast as the TPLink Wifi router and my older laptop can manage. I will follow up with a test via the network switch from the shed side, but I am expecting something between 200 and 400Mbps, based on other reviewers reports. Ping times are impressive. Sitting here at a hard wired desktop on the fiber router side, I can ping the distance LiteBeam unit and get an average response of 3ms.
Unless I see degraded performance during weather or during peak of leaf cover, I may not even bother with further tuning.
Setup was pretty easy. Watched one of the many Youtube videos, never even bothered with the phone app. Just connected to the Litebeams via browser/IP address, completed the needed settings, and was immediately rewarded with a working link. I have considerable networking experience: I recommend newbies follow the more conventional instructions or watch more videos.
EDIT: Finally got around to doing some tuning. Switching to a frequency with lower noise increased the throughput to 225mbps. Really impressed with these and thinking about adding more.
Before I bought these, I struggled to find much information or testimony from people who'd used these to establish a link through trees. In fact, nearly everyone I'd talked to (despite knowing the relatively short distance) insisted I wouldn't be able to establish a 5GHz link through trees. I figured the narrow beam pattern of these had a good chance at proving them wrong.. and for the price - I figured they were worth a try.
The hardware / setup: 2x LBE-5AC-GEN2 devices. One acting as "AP" and the other acting as "Station". Distance spanned is only ~400 feet, but it's blasting right through a bunch of trees.
The experience: Setup of these devices will likely prove tricky for anyone not familiar with IT. The built in Management Radio and Android/iOS "UMobile" app - once you figure it out - make the setup process very manageable (and frankly - frickin cool). I'd recommend configuring/syncing your setup before mounting (though it's not absolutely necessary).
The mobile app has a lot of nice features - most notably an aiming utility that tones intermittently to help indicate when you're getting the best signal. It also has a discovery, survey, ping/traceroute/point to point speed test utility.. and more.
Radio configuration: Took quite a bit of fiddling around, but ultimately I found its (mostly) best to let these things work their own magic. Ubiquiti has put a very impressive (and quite slick/visually appealing) set of tools and features into the AirOS software. Use AirMagic to identify a low-utilization part of the spectrum (preferably a DFS capable range), set your (Settings -> Wireless -> Advanced) "Target Signal" to a desired level (I target -59dBm), and tick on "Automatic Power Control" to have the devices automatically manage your transmit power depending on environmental situations (it will crank up transmit power in rain or snow to maintain your link quality). Beyond that - there's very little needed to get amazing performance out of these.
Conclusion: My home internet access has been completely reliant on these devices for nearly 2 months. I haven't had so much as a hiccup. Yes, these perform best with a clear line of sight, but they are fully capable of punching through some trees over short distances! Since the leaves fell off the trees, these Litebeams have adjusted their transmit power as low as they can and signal quality is still staying around -52 dBm which is SUPERB.
Ubiquiti puts out some amazing stuff, and if you need to establish a long-range PtP wireless setup - you came to the right place.
PS: Nanobeams are smaller/more subtle, though with a wider beam width - intended for 'shorter' distances (still capable of many km). Powerbeams are a step up from these Litebeams and can function out beyond 30km!

No step by step instructions have been found, but I have some experience - good or bad. Not as intuitive as Ubiquiti should be. Great for Hams & step by step info. AREDN MESH reigns.
Top reviews from other countries
I got a stable 300Mbps connection across a few hundred meters through a window without even needing to align anything. They should be good for a few KM when set up properly.
The management software (phone or browser) makes setup very easy. The ability to monitor signal strength and performance so granularly is what you'd expect if you'd spend 10x the cost.
Based on these, I'll be buying Ubiquiti across the board from now on...
I'm just under 2km apart.
Just above tree hieght, so when the leaves come out I may loose signal and have to go higher.
So far the Signal is great.
I'm getting almost full speed of my 25Mbs DSL service at my remote location.
I was not able to actually see my remote antenna but using the manufacturer website I was able to point them close enough to each other to get a signal. And then use the software to fine tune the alignment.
I'm not an IT person. And with some moderate searching was able to figure it out. But it basically works out the box.
I recommend hooking up the antennas in your house and getting all the networking details sorted out before mounting them outside. Then you know they will work once you get them pointed at each other.
They will not work through a forest of trees at that distance. But once I got them higher they connected automatically.
