This guide will walk you thorough how configure the WT5-ULB.
There are two configuration examples below. The first details a 1-to-1 setup with one access point and one station, this is the most common. The second setup is a 1-to-2 setup for when you have two locations (stations) to go back to a single point (access point). The same steps can be followed to add additional stations.
Setting up 1 Access Point and 1 Station
Before beginning, it is recommended to setup the devices first, before mounting them. A computer with a ethernet port will be required.
Access Point Setup
- Connect power to the included Ubiquiti PoE Injector, and connect the Ubiquiti antenna to the PoE port. Connect the LAN port to the ethernet port on the computer. Allow 2 minutes for the device to power up.
- Open Google Chrome, and enter the default IP address for the device, 192.168.1.20 (If you are unable to connect to the device, ensure your computer is in the same IP address range.)
- You may be prompted that the connection is not private, select the proceed option.
- Select your Country, and Language. Tick the agreement box, and select Continue.
- Enter a Username and Password. Record these details in a safe place for later use. Select Save.

- Turn on Access Point and PTP Mode. Enter a SSID, this can be anything, it will be the Wi-Fi network name. Enter a WPA2 Preshared Key, this will be the password for the Wi-Fi network you are creating. Select Save Changes. Record these details in a safe place for later use.
- Disconnect your computer from the Ubiqutii, leaving the Ubiquiti connected to the PoE injector.
