AdaLov Gigabit Wireless Bridge with Mounts
Score: 68/100
Ubiquiti LOCO5AC
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Good Story bundle of Ubiquiti NanoStation LOCO5AC devices provides a compact 5 GHz bridge with a 13 dBi dual-polarized antenna, delivering 450+ Mbps over distances beyond 10 km using passive PoE. With only a single gigabit Ethernet port and varying power supply options, installation can be less straightforward. Best for installers needing a small-footprint, long-range PtP link.
AdaLov's Gigabit Wireless Bridge provides a 16 dBi directional antenna with one-key pairing, delivering up to 900 Mbps over distances up to 3 km and includes PoE and weatherproofing. Real-world throughput often falls short of the headline speed and initial setup can encounter glitches. It fits well for farms, warehouses, and remote outbuildings requiring cable-free Ethernet.

Professional reviewers commend the AdaLov bridge for its ultra-simple one-key pairing, robust long-range performance and ability to deliver ISP-grade speeds beyond a mile, effectively replacing trench-cable solutions. However, they caution that channel interference can reduce throughput and that the 900 Mbps headline speed is rarely reached in real-world conditions.
Everyday users love how quickly the bridge works out of the box and value its stable 3 km link for cameras and other devices, especially in outdoor or industrial settings. Recurring frustrations center on initial connection glitches and the need to fine-tune Wi-Fi channels to unlock higher speeds.
