Problems setting up Nanostation Loco M2

I’ve been trying to set up a Nanostation Loco M2, plus and Airgateway for use connecting to RV park Wifi. I’ve carefully followed the David Bott video, and I’ve followed a couple of other similar setup instructions. No joy.

My laptop can communicate with the Nanostation via Ethernet cable. It shows as being connected to our modem/router (Jeffers) here at home. All the lights on the Nanostation are lit up, further suggesting that it is communicating with our home router. But no internet access.

Our laptops both connect wirelessly to the Airgateway, but of course with the Nanostation not getting internet from our home router, it is not working.

I suppose something is not set correctly. I admit that I’ve run out of ideas. My suspicion is that it has something to do with security settings, but I am out of my league trying to sort that out. Here are screen shots of the present configuration:














I hope someone can point out which setting(s) I have wrong. I’ve tried repeatedly resetting and reconfiguring the Nanostation, and I can’t get it to send an internet signal through.

I usually have no problem with things like this, I'm beginning to think that I should have bought something that was already pre-configured.

Thanks for any help!

  • Don't know if this will help.
    On the WIRELESS tab click select. A list of sites will come up. From the list click on the circle to the left of the MAC address you want to select. Scroll to the bottom of the list and click Lock to AP (not Select).

    Back to the WIRELESS tab. The MAC address that you selected should be in the Lock to AP box just under the SSID box. On the bottom of the WIRELESS tab page click Change button. Now at the top of the WIRELESS tab page there will be an Apply button, click it. Wait about 30 seconds for the Nanostation to re-boot.

    Now go to the MAIN tab page to the right the AP MAC should be the one you locked to along with the signal strength.

    Hope this helps.
  • The only difference I could see between yours and mine was on the Wireless tab, the Lock to AP MAC: had some hexadecimal numbers on mine and on the Network tab my DHCP Fallback IP: had 192.168.10.1 whereas yours had 192.168.2.1

    I also used Dave's video and had no trouble whatsoever but you have to do everything exactly as he says! You may need to reset the nanostation and run through the video again.

    Thanks!

    I edited the first post again to change from trying to show images on this page to just giving a link to each individual photo. I hope this works.

    If not, I think I can dust off an unused Photobucket account and see about linking from there (assuming PB is even around these days).
