Help with Wireless Extender and Router

Hi All

I recently purchase a Ubquiti Nano loco M5 so its a 5GHz unit, I had a number of attempts to set it up using different configurations (researching from the web) I had problems connecting the Ubquity unit from my devices I could see the Ubiquity network in my devices but could not connect, I got IP failed issues and when I did manage to connect using it as a router and not a bridge I could not get internet.

After hours of unsuccessful attempts I thought the only possibility left would be to consider that trying to connect a 5GHz Nano unit to a 2.4GHz router is probably not going to work.

Can I get a second opinion from GeekZoners on that, I am thinking I need to purchase a router that is 5GHz.

Many thanks in advance.
