BrosTrend 5GHz 867Mbps WiFi Bridge Point to Point Outdoor, 1KM Long Range

Used now for over a year and still works great

After setting the IP address, the units were installed to replace some dying Ubiquity nano stations. There were a couple times I had to reboot them the first few days. After making a few changes they have been fine. A few were: Pick a channel with the best signal to noise ratio(its not always external noise), turn power down, set speed to 300mbs, set distance to .1(160ft), set clock to manual and turn off watchdog. There a 4 cameras, an echo and some smart lights running thru the link with no problems.

First, I have been in IT for over 25 years. I generally use another brand that starts with Ub...., but the price and claim of 867Mbps in the title got me. I needed to point to point to go to an outbuilding I have so this looked like a great option. Well, it's not. The units use 24v POE versus 48/54 like most POE switches put out so you have to use their included injectors or plug in the power brick to the unit. Or, you could get some 48v to 24v converters which was my option. Well, that didn't work because one of the units won't work with the network cable only powering it, so I have to use the power brick plugged into the unit, which is not a possibility for most anyone. The other unit didn't work that way and worked as it should. So, I ran the power in a test situation to power everything up in their actual locations and the units wouldn't pair up. My run is about 2000 feet with a clear shot. So, I took the units and set them up next to each other and they still wouldn't link up. I tried resetting them, no go. I sure wish I could have got them working so I could test their 867Mbps speed claim, one which is impossible to achieve over the 100mbps network. There is no way to get over 100Mbps on a 100Mbps connection. So, in theory, this unit would be pretty slow in today's standards.

On a positive note, set up was way easier than I had anticipated. I followed the simple pictorial directions providing internet to my shop 150 feet away from my house. Had the system up and running in no time. Linked the bridge to the router and everything functioned flawlessly. Until it didn’t. I’m finding that the bridge receiver randomly stops receiving signal anywhere from roughly 16 hours to a few days after working well. Simple fix of disconnecting power and letting it reboot itself, but frustrating that I have to do this on such a regular basis. Not uncommon you have to do it daily.

We used this at a ranch where the garage is about 100 yards from the main house. We use starlink for our internet access and used this to extend our range. Works like a charm. We get about 60Mbps at the garage which is about 60 times what we used to get! Super easy setup. Worked on the 1st try. Be sure the antennas face one another as we found the bandwidth was significantly hampered by tilting the transmitter too high. We tried all sorts of other repeaters and mesh networks which were not nearly as effective as this and all the other stuff was more expensive. Definitely reccomend.

Not reliable. I have these setup between two buildings less than 100m apart with a clear line of site. Nearly everyday I have to reboot the ‘end point’. It works for a while, usually a day or so, then I Lose connection to the remote network. I have several other bridges from a different mfg that are 1,000m+ apart that work flawlessly. Pluses- easy to setup, small. I do not recommend. Spend a little more on more robust bridges.

Pretty easy to set up. Line of sight signal strength seems very good 200 feet away. Pleased with the price and has been very reliable for several months so far

I recently built a large workshop about 200-feet from our home and really didn’t want to run underground CAT cable out there. I am installing an old television in the shop primarily to use to stream instructional videos to help with projects I’ll be working on. Also, cell service is very marginal where we live, and I need to have my phone connected to wireless when I’m in there. That metal roof just about kills what little signal we get. The hardest part of using this is we have a lot of landscaping and quite a few large trees between the house and the building, so I had to get a little creative with placement of both units and the cabling from our router to the transmitter unit. While rated for outdoor use, it is not designed for full exposure where it will be subjected to repeated heavy rain. I ended up building an enclosure around both the transmitter and receiver to shield them completely except for a small window where the units could see each other. Operation is simple... pretty much plug and play. Speeds are adequate... to stream video reliably you really don’t need anything higher than this capable of. There is plenty of excess bandwidth to do other things if needed while streaming. We are out in the country, so I have no issues with signal congestion. For an inexpensive product, this does a nice job.

Best purchase ive ever made! I researched a lot before deciding what to buy for my farm. I decided i wanted to add wifi to the main farm building. I decided on this product and i am delighted at the quality and at how easy it was to set up. The wifi i get in the building is 100% fast and works perfectly, just like at the house where thw internet is actually connected. I 100% recommend this product to anyone wanting to expend wifi to another building or area on a big land.
