   To Rod Speed and anyone who wants to set up a ubiquiti radio as a receiver   
   far from the house.   
      
   We had a half dozen spare Ubiquiti Rocket M2 radios on hand, because we   
   swapped them all out for Rocket M5 radios instead (for the lower noise).   
      
      
   So a bunch of us grabbed a few and set them up outside, a few hundred feet   
   from the house, pointing over the air back at the normal home SOHO routers.   
      
   At about 200 feet line of sight from the barn to the house, we got signal   
   strength of over minus 65 decibels, which is pretty good, and when we   
   tested speeds, they were asymmetric (even though all our feeds are   
   symmetric) at 43 Mbps down and 17 Mbps up, which is fine for what we're   
   doing (since we get our Internet over the air via WISP).   
      
   The key to set up the Ubiquiti radio as a receiver is "station" and   
   "bridge" for the two tabs, "wireless" and "network".   
      
   The configuration file has the radio set up with the following cfg file   
   which can be loaded into any Ubiquiti Rocket M2 (and probably other   
   Ubiquiti AirOS radios).
