Connecting Ubiquiti Litebeam link to Network Access Hub
Hi all, We are replacing our old ZTE cell modem with a new fibre connection using the Network Access hub. We currently have a Ubiquiti Litebeam AC5 link radio to our remote building for internet acc...
The WAN static IP on the router would likely have been the problem. The NH20 has a default subnet of 192.168.1.x. If you haven't changed that subnet on the NH20, either manually reserve a static IP for that router on the NH20, or change the WAN IP on the router itself manually and reboot everything.
The NH20 will not be able to assign any IPs to devices if you have a router on the far end as that router would be assigning IPs itself. Only exception would be if you have the router in bridged mode or as an access point only so that DHCP would be handled by the NH20.

Community Power UserCorrect me if I'm wrong but isn't the Litebeam AC5 just an access point and not a router? If that's the case, do NOT bridge any ports / DMZ on the fibre gateway because your connection is only allotted 2 IPs. The gateway has one. If they're both used, you won't get additional IPs assigned. That is likely why your devices aren't getting online. The ZTE cell modem didn't allow for bridging.
Yes the Litebeam can be configured as an AP but we are using 2 of them for a wireless link to the remote building's router, basically replaces 1km of wire the way I understand them to work as a link. It was working plugged into one of the ZTE cell modems ports.
