TP-Link CPE710
Score: 81/100Ubiquiti Device Bridge Pro
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Ubiquiti Device Bridge Pro (UDB-Pro) is a weatherproof 5 GHz outdoor bridge featuring a high-gain 19 dBi antenna and up to 867 Mbps throughput for long-range point-to-point links. Its adoption can be slow and full PoE+ input is required to unlock the PoE output, making setup slightly more complex. Ideal for UniFi users needing robust outdoor bridging over several kilometres.
The TP-Link CPE710 is a rugged outdoor 5 GHz wireless bridge featuring a 23 dBi directional antenna and IP65 rating, delivering up to 867 Mbps for long-range point-to-point links. It is limited to the 5 GHz band and requires precise alignment due to its narrow beamwidth. Ideal for enterprises and ISPs needing high-performance outdoor backhaul.

Professional reviewers describe the CPE710 as a high-performance outdoor bridge that excels in noisy, long-distance scenarios. B&H Photo and CDW commend its 23 dBi antenna, 2×2 MIMO, and 867 Mbps AC throughput, while emphasizing the rugged IP65 enclosure and Pharos Control for easy centralized management.
User-generated feedback is scarce in the available sources, so direct consumer sentiment cannot be quantified. The product's marketing and specifications suggest users would appreciate its long-range capability and weather resistance, while potential concerns would revolve around the need for precise alignment and the lack of 2.4 GHz support.
Professional reviewers consider the UDB-Pro a robust solution for long-range outdoor Wi-Fi bridging, emphasizing its powerful 19 dBi antenna, high throughput, and seamless UniFi Auto-Link setup. They also note minor drawbacks such as occasional adoption delays and the need for PoE+ input to unlock full power output.
Everyday users generally appreciate the device's reliability for extending UniFi networks to remote cameras, IoT gear, and laptops, especially in building-to-building scenarios. Common themes include the need for careful positioning to overcome obstacles and occasional delays during initial adoption, but overall sentiment is positive for outdoor long-range use.
