AREDN GEAR - What works and where to get it

2GHz

For user access, purchase a Ubiquiti Nanostation (XW) M2 (NSM2).   See the compatibility matrix https://www.arednmesh.org/content/supported-platform-matrix

3GHz

For user access, purchase a Ubiquiti Nanostation (XM) M3 (NSM3),  Be careful to order the 'NSM3  (international)' version only, NOT the NSM365.  These can be difficult to source and expensive.

5GHz

For user access, purchase a Ubiquiti Nanostation (XW) M5 (NSM5) or a Ubiquiti Powerbeam (PBE-M5-400).  For purchase links, see the compatibility matrix https://www.arednmesh.org/content/supported-platform-matrix.  You can also search (NSM5) or (PBE-M5-400) on Amazon.  These are the lowest cost, highest performance options for user access.

Making it work on AREDN

You will need to 'flash' the hardware option purchase above to make it work on AREDN.  This is an easy, well documented process that can be done on any computer.  For step-by-step guides:

We've had great success using the Grandstream GS-GXP1630 VoIP desk phone.  Go to Amazon and search for 'GS-GXP1630'.  To get an extension off the local area AREDN PBX, send Keith AI6BX an e-mail.
