Your Reliable 2.4 GHz WiFi Bridge Sets for Outdoor Use
No more expensive excavation work or slow connections! With the Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M2, you can set up a stable Point-to-Point (PtP) or Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) connection in no time. Connect your office to the warehouse, provide your garden shed with fast internet, or set up an Outdoor WiFi Access Points for your IP Cameras. The Loco M2 is the proven and cost-effective solution for countless outdoor application scenarios, leveraging Ubiquiti technology.
Compact Design Meets Maximum Performance
Don't be fooled by its small size. Inside the Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco M2, a powerful Atheros MIPS processor works together with the intelligent airOS firmware to ensure a stable and reliable Network connection. The Enclosure is made of UV-stabilized plastic and designed for years of maintenance-free operation under the harshest weather conditions. Thanks to the included PoE Injectors / Power Supplies, installation becomes child's play, as power and data run over a single Ethernet Cable.
More Flexible Than Ever: WiFi Access Points, Client, or WiFi Bridge Sets
The true strength of the Loco M2 lies in its versatility. Configure it as a powerful Outdoor WiFi Access Points to provide WiFi to an outdoor area. Use it as a 'Station' (Client) to receive the signal from a distant base station. Or use two Loco M2 units to establish a transparent, wireless cable connection between two locations. The web-based airOS interface gives you full control over all professional Network settings, making it a key component for 2.4 GHz Components deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the NanoStation Loco M2 be used as a regular WiFi Repeater for my mobile phone?
Yes, that is possible. You can configure the Loco M2 in WiFi Access Point mode to receive the signal from a remote Network and broadcast it locally as a new WiFi hotspot. However, it is primarily optimized for fixed point-to-point connections.
What is the difference between the Loco M2 and the Loco M5?
The main difference is the frequency band. The Loco M2 operates in the 2.4 GHz Components band, which offers better penetration of obstacles but is more susceptible to interference. The Loco M5 operates in the 5 GHz Components band, which is generally less congested and allows for higher speeds, but is more sensitive to line-of-sight obstacles.
Do I need one or two NanoStations for a WiFi Bridge?
For a classic point-to-point WiFi Bridge Sets to connect two buildings, you always need two devices. One is configured as a WiFi Access Point and the other as a Station, both precisely aligned with each other.
How is the NanoStation Loco M2 powered?
Power is supplied exclusively via the included 24V Passive PoE Injectors / Power Supplies. This means that power and data are transmitted to the device via a single Ethernet Cable, which significantly simplifies outdoor installation.
Is technical expertise required for setup?
The basic setup of a point-to-point bridge is feasible with instructions, but requires a fundamental understanding of IP addresses and Network configuration. While the airOS user interface is web-based, it is aimed more at advanced users than absolute beginners.
Can I mount the NanoStation Loco M2 behind a window?
Mounting behind glass is technically possible but not recommended. Modern, energy-efficient windows may contain metallic coatings that severely attenuate the WiFi signal and significantly reduce performance. For optimal results, the device should always be mounted outdoors with a direct line of sight.
