i have an old ubiquiti nanostaion5-Loc which seems to only support 802.11A and a tp-link w8960n router supporting b/g/n im sure the nanostation can be used as a wireless bridge but can i use it to connect to my tplink router?

No, they're not compatible.

  • 802.11a is for 5 GHz; 802.11b/g are for 2.4 GHz. (802.11n could be either.)
  • NanoStation 5 only works in the 5 GHz band. See datasheet.
  • TP-Link W8960N only works in the 2.4 GHz band. See datasheet.

This can be guessed from supported protocols:

  • For example, if a device supports a/b/g/n, that means it's dual-band.
  • But if it supports just a/n or just a, then it's certainly 5 GHz-only.
  • If it supports just b/g or b/g/n, it's 2.4 GHz-only.
