How to Pointing Ubiquiti Rocket M2 Radio Devices

The following is a way to "point" or point a Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio to another Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio:

1. First, ensure that both Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radios are connected with ethernet cables to your network.


2. Next, open the AirOS software on both Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radios. You can access AirOS via a web browser by entering the IP address of the Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio (default is 192.168.1.20).


3. On the AirOS main page, select the "Wireless" menu. In this section, make sure that the SSID, mode, channel, and bandwidth configurations are set the same on both Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radios.


4. On the "Wireless" menu, select the "Wireless Security" tab and ensure that the security configuration is the same on both Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radios.


5. Return to the main AirOS page and select the "Wireless" menu again. In this section, ensure that "Wireless Mode" is set as "Access Point" on the Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio that will be the access point, and "Wireless Mode" is set as "Station" on the Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio that will be routed.


6. On the "Wireless" menu, select the "Site Survey" tab on the Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio to be routed. In this tab, select the SSID of the Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio that is the access point, and click the "Connect" button.


7. Once connected, return to the main AirOS page on the Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio that will be redirected and select the "Wireless" menu. In this section, ensure that "Wireless Mode" is set as "Station" and that the "SSID" is entered correctly.


8. On the "Wireless" menu, select the "Antenna Alignment" tab on the Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio to be oriented. In this tab, you will see two lines: "Current Signal Strength" and "Link Distance". In the "Current Signal Strength" line, pay attention to the value of the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) number. A higher RSSI value indicates a better connection. In the "Link Distance" line, make sure that the value shown corresponds to the distance between the two Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radios.


9. Slowly adjust the antenna position on both Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radios, while paying attention to the change in the RSSI value on the "Antenna Alignment" page. Keep adjusting the antenna position until the maximum RSSI value is obtained.


10. If the RSSI value is optimal, then click the "Lock Antenna" button on the "Antenna Alignment" page to lock the antenna position on both Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radios.


11. Finally, make sure that the two Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radios are connected and can communicate with each other by checking the connection status on the AirOS main page. If already connected, the "Link" in "Wireless Status" will change to "Established".

Check Internet Connection

• After setting up both Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radios, make sure the ethernet cable is connected to both devices. Also make sure that the internet network connection is stable.


• To check the connection, you can use a computer or laptop connected to the same network as the Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio. Open a web browser and try to access another website or online application. If the internet connection is running smoothly, then the settings you have made are successful.


• Furthermore, if you want to set up more about network configuration, such as setting the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway, you can access the "Network" page on AirOS. On this page, you can set the network configuration according to your needs.


• Finally, ensure that both Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radios are properly installed and protected from damage. Keep both devices in a safe place and protected from the weather and other physical damage. Also make sure that the ethernet cables connected to the two devices are properly plugged in and not easily detached.

By following the steps above, you can easily bookmark or point your Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio to another Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radio. Make sure that both devices are connected and the internet connection is running smoothly to get maximum results.
