The KuWFi Gigabit Wireless Bridge delivers 900 Mbps speed, gigabit Ethernet, and beamforming for reliable 2 km outdoor links. Its reliance on PoE and the need for unobstructed line-of-sight limit flexibility in dense or power-constrained sites. Best suited for farms or small businesses extending a gigabit network over short distances.
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.
The BrosTrend 5 GHz 867 Mbps WiFi Bridge offers high-speed point-to-point connectivity with a rugged IP65 enclosure and dual Gigabit ports. Its single-band operation and need for precise line-of-sight limit flexibility. Ideal for homeowners or small property owners needing a simple, budget-friendly link up to about 1 km.
The EnGenius EnStation6 is a rugged outdoor Wi-Fi 6 bridge delivering up to 1200 Mbps and 8 km point-to-point range with a 19 dBi antenna. Its reliance on a proprietary 54 V PoE injector and single-band operation limit flexibility and standard PoE integration. Best suited for campus-wide or rural point-to-point links where high throughput and weather resistance are paramount.
The KuWFi Outdoor Wireless Bridge provides easy LED-based setup and a high-gain 12 dBi antenna for reliable 3 km point-to-point links. Its 300 Mbps ceiling and single-band design limit bandwidth-intensive uses. Ideal for rural CCTV or simple Wi-Fi extensions where cost and quick deployment matter.
The UeeVii CPE452 is an outdoor 5.8 GHz bridge with a 14 dBi high-gain antenna and IP65 weatherproof housing. Its main trade-offs are a 100 Mbps wired limit and the need for clear line-of-sight. Best suited for farms, barns or garages where long-range point-to-point links are required.
The Tenda O3 is a budget outdoor CPE that provides 12 dBi gain and up to 5 km+ range on the 2.4 GHz band, protected by an IP64 case and lightning suppression. Its drawbacks are the single-band operation and modest 150 Mbps throughput. It fits well for low-cost, long-range point-to-point links in rural or off-grid settings.
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.
