Henckel I just bought one of these for the AP side of a 3 mile wireless bridge (house to house) using 19 dbi directional panels. When I was finally able to get it configured it works super! I am using WPA2-PSK, which was easy to configure. However, the thing that really screwed me up was the Bullet M2 "AirMax" option is ENABLED by default -- and this makes the device INCOMPATIBLE with all other devices (Can you say stupid default?) Also the 40 MHz option is incompatible with most devices. Also I tried to configure the LAN-side of the M2 to use DHCP to get its IP, but that feature appears to be broken! I kept getting "Host unreachable" errors until I changed the M2 LAN IP to Static. Also it appears to be impossible to change the PASSWORD on this device. Fortunately you can change the userid to something obscure. Jeez, I think ubiquiti should do a bit more usability testing. I only recommend this device if you are a geek and you have a LOT of patience. 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great add on for the WifiRanger for use in an RV By BigV 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. 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. 1 of 4 people found the following review helpful.
