Campground and RV Friendly . I have been using the PICO2HP for our campground in the black hills of SD. Best decision we ever made.They handle the weather well and given the price I have 5 running on our 12 acre campground. Our wifi has been greatly improved.Campers and RVers have commented on how great our wifi is. The key is putting up many access points and having good antennas.These APs are easy to configure and have good power, even through the trees. The size and the POE is make deployment simple and robust.Come try our wifi at custerkoa.com.

Ubiquiti Networks PICO2HP 2.4GHz 802.11bg High Power Reviews
Patio wireless . Great for use as a wireless access point on a patio or deck. We put on our deck and it provides excellent coverage for a large part of our yard as well as the deck. The power over Ethernet capability made it easy to run and minimizes concerns over weather-related issues.

Ubiquiti Networks PICO2HP 2.4GHz 802.11bg High Power Opinions
It works extremely well . I have a large home and I always had poor WIFI coverage in some area of my house. I used two Routers and set one up as an access point and that helped. I purchased a Picostation2HP and set it up, removed one of the routers and it is great. I get full bars all over my one acre property and on all three floors of my home and in all locations. This is even with the unit mounted inside of the home. It was well worth the money. The documentation is nonexistent but the Web forum information is very good. Non-technical people may have problems setting this up but the product is excellent.

Connections up to 1/2 mile away . These high-powered units work great. I've used them to set up a wifi network that covers my entire condo complex. My Macbook Pro gets a good connection up to to 600 feet away (line of sight, outdoors). Of course buildings, trees etc reduce the range considerably. But the range is FAR greater than one will get with a conventional router. The units are also designed to be mounted outdoors (Power is supplied via the Ethernet cable.) So they are great for connecting between buildings. The documentation says they will run at up to 54 megabits per second. However I've never been able to get more than 12 megabits per second out of them. That's plenty for my use. So I haven't worried about it.
I most often use these units in conjunction with an external antenna such as such as the Alfa 1000mW 1W 802.11b/g USB Wireless WiFi Network Adapter With Original Alfa Screw-On Swivel 9dBi Rubber Antenna or a repeater such as the Amped Wireless High-Power Wireless-300N Smart Repeater (SR300) or a Cisco-Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router that has be upgraded with the DD-WRT firmware to make it work as a client or bridge unit.They are also configurable as "stations"(a.k.a. client or receiver units.) Using a pair of them gives truly impressive range. I configured a pair of these outdoors along an unobstructed line-of-sight. They connect at essentially full speed (about 12 megabits/sec) up to 0.3 miles apart. They connect at about half that speed at 0.5 miles apart which is the longest distance my test area provided. My guess is that that the bitrate will drop steadily with distances above 1/2 mile. Along an obstructed line with buildings, trees, etc. in the way, I've gotten them to work at full speed up to 400 feet apart and at about half speed up to 600 feet apart. This is a great solution if your router just doesn't have enough umpf!By the way, these are exactly the same hardware as the Ayrstone AyrMesh Hub but at a much lower price and with a much easier to configure interface. The Ayrmesh targets "meshed" setups and so it requires that you configure the unit via the Ayrmesh website and the units need to "contact the mother ship" at boot-time. I don't see any reason to pay the extra money unless one really wants to have a meshed configuration.One more point, these units come with the POE (power over ethernet) included. The Amazon page sometimes shows the POE being a "popular" combination. I don't know why anybody would bother to buy them together unless they were confused.

Cons Review
Think carefully before you buy. Virtually ZERO technical help available! . I advise caution before purchasing this product. If you are lucky enough to get a working item and do not need technical support you will be happy with it. I had mine working for one day and the range was at least 2,000 feet. Quite amazing. HOWEVER, if you should have ANY difficulty and need technical assistance YOU CAN FORGET IT. The unit stopped working. I went to the website indicated. You will find nearly ZERO information on the site unless you are told the "secret". The product is named something else on the site and no crossreference is given. FINALLY I found what was supposed to be installation help. It did not fix my problem of a dead system. I wrote three CONCISE and to the point questions and emailed them to the company. They did not phone as requested but answered with a CRYPTIC EMAIL that was essentially a canned response and told me NOTHING that I did not know before. Once they have your money it seems that their interest dies in the customer at that point. I seldom leave such a harsh evaluation of anything, but this company and their policies deserve my comments. Probably a great product, but if I cannot get it to function what good is it? They should be ashamed of their conduct and lack of resources.
