Ubiquiti NanoBeam ac Gen2
Score: 81/100
TP-Link CPE710
Score: 81/100Rankings
Ubiquiti's NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 combines a 19 dBi antenna with airMAX ac technology to offer up to 450 Mbps over long distances in a compact, weather-resistant package. It lacks newer Wi-Fi 6 support and may struggle in heavily obstructed environments. Suited for ISPs and enterprises needing reliable point-to-point backhaul.
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 commend the NanoBeam 5AC Gen2 for its innovative all-in-one design that packs a high-gain 19 dBi antenna and airMAX ac radio into a tiny enclosure, delivering up to 450 Mbps and exceptional noise immunity in RF-dense environments. They highlight the easy alignment via a 3-axis ball joint, low 8.5 W power draw for passive PoE, and the rugged construction rated for 200 km/h winds as strong points for outdoor deployments.
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.
