Ubiquiti NanoBeam ac Gen2
Score: 81/100
D-Link DWM-311
Score: 72/100Rankings
Ubiquiti's NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 combines a 19 dBi antenna with airMAX ac technology to offer up to 450 Mbps over long distances in a compact, weather-resistant package. It lacks newer Wi-Fi 6 support and may struggle in heavily obstructed environments. Suited for ISPs and enterprises needing reliable point-to-point backhaul.
The D-Link DWM-311-B1 is a compact, rugged 4G LTE Cat 4 modem that offers a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet bridge for M2M applications. Its lack of Wi-Fi, PoE and visual status indicators limits flexibility in deployments. Best suited for industrial kiosks, POS terminals and other wired remote equipment that need carrier flexibility.
