R7500 router will not commuicate with UBNT NanoStation loco with static IP address
Hi I am new to this site, and don't always understand all of the terminolgy but I would like to get to the bottom of this issue. I have been working on setting up a pair of Ubiquiti NanoStation Loc...

Thank you netwrks, I believe I solved it. (well at least got it to work)
I did try to change my DHCP ranges, but with no further success. Un- reserved all IP’s. Set DHCP range from .2 – .199 . Set the static address on my radio’s to .201 and .202 and to make sure it was valid set a static IP on my printer at .219. Full unplug of LAN ports…. Powered off router and modem…… connected only the radio’s and my computer to the LAN and re- booted the modem….. waited….. and then rebooted the router. No success. (Maybe this contributed later in my set up, but not sure)
In watching the video again, I noticed that he had the IP aliasing button unchecked in his screens, but made no mention of them.

In a last ditch effort I went into my radio’s and unchecked IP aliasing.
My nighthawk router immediately picked up the AP. I can now log into the radio’s through my network and have internet in my garage
I decided to do some tests, and found that if I checked the enable WDS transparent bridge, I would lose connectivity to my radio’s through my network. As soon as I uncheck WDS again, I could hook up through my network.
Thank you for the link on IP Aliasing. It was some of the comments from people that said that they weren't sure what it does, but it seems to help to turn it off whe
Also thanks for the utube link. After hours of trying to get these to work, I cannot belive that it was as simple as that IP Aliasing check box that nobody mentioned.
I believe the issue is solved
Thank you for prompting me

Sorry I should have included that as well. I have also reserved the addresses but they do not show up. In the device list there are no other devices using those addresses

Sounds like it's time to reset the router to factory default and reconfigure from scratch. if you decide to do a reset, I would make sure the nano's and your desktop / laptop are the only device on the network.
Before doing a reset, try changing your DHCP pool size, (192.168.1.2-192.168.100) and configure the Nano's something like 101 and 102. See if that works. Get rid of the reservations first..

Ok will try in a Bit. Will have to kick some kids off first.
Thanks

By any chance do you have the Nano's set up as DHCP Servers? Ideally there should only be one DHCP Server in a network. Configure them to static..

They are set to static, and as a bridge ( never mind the IP, as I was trying different IP's incase I had a conflict)
