Instructions for use
The nanostation M5 has a range of 10 km in theory with no obstacles but in real life things are different. Make sure there is no big obstacle between your sites and put the nanostation as high as possible (on radio tower i.e.) and no more than “5 km” away from each other. If you want the maximum bandwidth between your sites, upgrade to the latest firmware
