The Bullet M2-HP: Your Specialist for Long-Distance WiFi
Imagine being able to get the weak WiFi signal from the harbor building or campsite office directly and stably into your boat or motorhome. That's exactly what the Ubiquiti Bullet M2-HP was developed for. It's not a toy, but a highly flexible outdoor wireless module that integrates seamlessly into your existing Network infrastructure. Mount it directly to an external Antenna, connect it via PoE, and configure it as a Client, Access Point, or as part of a powerful long-distance WiFi Bridge Set using the intuitive airOS interface. The integrated signal LEDs help you perfectly align the Antenna – for maximum signal quality.
Built to Last: Robustness Meets Performance
The Bullet M2-HP is designed for continuous outdoor use. Its UV-stabilized plastic housing withstands sun, rain, and extreme temperatures. The highlight is the integrated design: the module screws directly onto the N-connector of the Antenna. This not only eliminates cable clutter but, more importantly, the signal losses that are unavoidable with long, external Antenna Cables. This ensures that the full transmit power of up to 600 mW truly reaches where it's needed: in the air. Whether you want to Network a remote building or simply have reliable internet while traveling – the Ubiquiti Bullet M2-HP is the professional and cost-effective choice for setting it up as an Access Point for a campsite.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Extreme flexibility and modularity through direct connection to any passive Antenna with an N-connector.
- Pro: Excellent value for money for a powerful and robust outdoor wireless module.
- Pro: Integrated design without external RF cables minimizes signal losses and simplifies installation.
- Pro: High transmit power of up to 600 mW enables ranges of over 50 km (depending on the Antenna).
- Note: Uses older SISO technology (1x1), which limits the maximum throughput compared to modern MIMO systems.
- Note: The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port represents a bottleneck and limits the net data throughput to under 100 Mbps.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Ubiquiti Bullet M2-HP a complete outdoor WiFi Router?
No, it is a pure radio module. To function as a WiFi Access Point, it requires an external Antenna with an N-connector. For Router functions like IP address assignment (DHCP), it must either be configured in router mode or connected to a separate Router.
What Accessories are absolutely necessary for operation?
You will need at least three additional components: 1) A passive 2.4 GHz Antenna with an N-Type Female connector. 2) A passive 24V PoE Injector for Power Supply. 3) A shielded Ethernet Cable (Cat 5 or higher) for outdoor use.
What is the difference between the Bullet M2-HP and newer models like the Bullet AC?
The main difference lies in the supported technology. The M2-HP operates on the 2.4 GHz band with the 802.11n (SISO) standard. Newer models like the Bullet AC are Dual-Band capable (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), support the faster 802.11ac (MIMO) standard, and thus offer significantly higher data throughput.
Can I use the Bullet M2-HP to receive the WiFi signal from a campsite or harbor?
Yes, this is an ideal application scenario. The Ubiquiti Bullet M2-HP is mounted outdoors with a suitable Antenna and configured as a 'Station' (Client) to receive the remote WiFi signal. Via an Ethernet Cable, it is then connected to an internal WiFi Router, which builds its own local Network for your devices.
Does the 'airMAX' function always have to be activated?
No. The airMAX protocol is a proprietary Ubiquiti Networks technology that optimizes performance when only Ubiquiti devices communicate with each other. If standard WiFi devices like laptops or smartphones are to connect, airMAX must be deactivated so that the Bullet operates in standard WiFi mode.
How do I set up the Bullet M2-HP for the first time?
For the initial setup, you must connect a computer directly to the LAN port of the PoE Injector via an Ethernet Cable. The computer must be manually assigned a static IP address in the 192.168.1.x subnet (e.g., 192.168.1.10). Afterwards, you can access the Bullet's configuration interface via a web browser at the default IP 192.168.1.20.
