Just getting started and I have 1 node up and running. I now want to add a second node on same pole so that I can get ~240 deg of coverage. Not sure on how to connect and what configuration settings to change. Using Ubiuiti NanoStation M2's flashed with AREDN software.

Thanks in advance for the help.

yep. It's kinda tough to do this on 2.4, since there's only one "good" channel there. but 5.8 gives quite a few channels to chose from.

Here is an array I put together:
