Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) links are used routinely to serve up to 100 locations from a single Access Point (thanks to Ubiquiti's airMax technology).
There are many approaches to providing PtMP services. This example is the simplest, using a single Ubiquiti radio with an omnidirectional antenna to create a
bridged network. Even a simple IP addressing schema is included!
Clearly, a more complex approach is often desired; one that uses multiple Ubiquiti radios with sector antennas along with a fully routed (rather than bridged)
configuration. That however, is not this article. Most new users will benefit by starting with this simplified approach to become familiar with PtMP or to serve a
smaller, limited area.

FIRST: Install a router as shown above. Configure it as a DHCP server with an IP pool that is large enough to serve the number of customer devices (e.g. -
computers, printers, etc.) you need to serve. NOTE: The pool should not extend lower than 192.168.1.21. The instructions for doing this are different for each
router manufacturer. Please consult their FAQ for assistance if needed.
B. Choose the |Network| tab and change only the following values:
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Press the [Change] button

DONE with this radio (the AP), proceed to Customer Radios after repeating steps 1-4 above with them
Configure the radios labeled as 192.168.1.3 through .102 (the Customer Radios) above:
C. Choose the |Wireless| tab and change only the following values:
Wireless Mode: Station
WDS: [X] Enable
Press the [Change] button
D. Choose the |Network| tab and change only the following values:
IP Address: 192.168.1.3 (increment by x.x.x.+1 for each additional Customer Radio ... skipping 192.168.1.20)
Press the [Change] button
Press the [Apply] button
repeat the steps in this section for all Customer Radios
DONE
NOTES:
1 - Secure your installation - modify the default administration account
Select |System| tab > System Accounts
Administrative Username [change it from 'ubnt']
Hover over icon to the right, "Change Password" and change it

The isolation is a result of configuring your AP Router (the Gateway) to a different subnet (change from using 192.168.1.1 to
use 192.168.2.1 instead) and then associating the SOHO routers WAN port on it, then having the SOHO router serve IP
addresses to LAN customer devices within the 192.168.0.x subnet. This configuration makes the 192.168.1.x subnet invisible
to customer devices!
The diagram to the right shows this variation graphically. The table below describes the simplest IP plan that will work. Instructions below that describe how to
configure a Ubiquiti SOHO Router as described.
Begin by configuring your AP Router (Gateway) interface to 192.168.2.1. Because each router is different, please refer to your router manufacturers FAQ for
assistance.
