If I want to use this as a "Reciver" from a near by AC66U running DD-WRT will it work without having a M5 on both ends?

If it is transmitting 5ghz then yes it should work, On the Ubiquiti site you can find a link to their company supported forum. There are many easy to follow instructions on settings for this device. I use a pair to transmit internet from a comcast modem to my boat router. It's 320' away and I get 41mps down with over 8 up. There are a lot of variables available in the settings. I'm sure you can configure it to do this.

There are tunnel protocols that may not function. These are able to pick up and configure to "extend" an existing link. I have a single unit working as an access point off a DLINK wrt and hadn't seen any problems.

Yes. I have two of this in an old computer i'm using as advanced router between 3 different networks. Both are working at 1000 full duplex, onboard interface just 100 full duplex.

The router is listed in the dd-wrt site, but I haven't tried flashing it. From what I can see, though, there's not much difference between the stock dd-wrt and the buffalo interface besides the branding. It didn't come broke, so as of now I have no need to fix it.

Yes. The router broadcasts at 2.4 and 5ghz. And it can do b/g/n on 2.4 and a/n/AC on 5ghz

Perfectly, getting ddwrt on it is a little tricky, but I have done it on two of these and they are both running for several months with no issues.

FYI to current customers: The current version is V3, and is not supported so far by openWRT/Gargoyle, and probably not DD-WRT.

No, they are not. This is a sore spot with me. I worked with tech support a long time and they finally told me it's NOT supported in AP mode, only router mode. I ended up hanging an old AP off the DMZ of my firewall port for guest access and use the AC66U as my main AP for the wireless devices in the home. Other than that, the device seems decent enough. I have a USB hard drive hanging off it to share DLNA stuff, but also do this via GoogleTV box too. Lots of options these days.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I have already returned the DIR 655. Secure Spot....Hmmmm. Not quite sure what that is. Unfortunate that when I contacted D-Link about the problem that they did not mention this. Seems odd that the router would work with all of the computers on the wireless network, but would not work with the BD 390. Oh well, guess I will purchase another router and try again.Thanks again

A nanobridge m5 is a 5.8 and a m2 is 2.4 so they won't connect with each other. The 2 you purchased should work just fine I've got some connected over 15 miles. Hard to aim. Set one as a access point the other as station. Make sure there both on the same frequency.

It did with my AC68U. I was able to get a usable signal outside my house whereas before these as could not.You'll see improvement with 2.4Ghz but not so much with 5Ghz.

No, you can connect the unit directly to a standard router or switch - hub. This will link both network environments.

Yes it would work with the DD-WRT firmware. You would use openvpn or pptp to connect externally.

That's a more difficult setup Walter. Reason being is that you need to decouple the wireless router piece from your current setup. This is done by calling up your service provider and inquiring about how to make it a modem only unit because you have a better wireless router. Once done, it's as simple as plugging a cable from the old modem/router into the internet port of the new r6250. It's not that you didn't grasp the instructions, they were not written for your all-in-one device! make sure you understand the steps from your service provider clearly before executing my proposed solution. Good luck!

Yes, under the default DD-WRT firmware you can setup a guest network pretty easily. Their support is pretty good at helping if you need it, although sometimes you get someone who is clueless, so you need to hang-up and call back.

Yes but its more of a directional improvement. The signal width is shorter on these but with the shorter width you get a stronger signal at a distance. They worked great on my Asus RT-AC66U. If you are running an Asus also look at Asuswrt-Merlin firmware. Just search for that online.

Not 100% sure but inclined to say yes. As I recall, all the necessary connections are there, and it is a powerful router. But I would make sure from the mfr. before buying.

Not true. All it does is listen for 802.11g a signals and rebroadcasts it. However, a better option would be to buy a Linksys WRT54GL and install the DD-WRT firmware on it. You can then configure it to operate in bridge, repeater, or router mode. See http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge. The result will cost less, but do more. :-)
