Hello

I am wondering an idea of the maximum distance between two of these devices in bridge mode at line of sight. I am looking for an application of 3.72 Miles (6 KM).

Thank you!

Drew

Believe me, you should choose CPE510.
5GHz is always better than 2.4GHz for outdoor communication of long distance when line of sight is ensured.

I have two CPE510 working as a point to point link at a distance of about 13 Km. So far so good.

And never choose TL-WA5210G for >2Km, you can see others' comments on this model in this forum.

Hello ZETM,
Good to know that you have made a link of 13Km between CPE-510 pair at LOS. May I know whats the aggregate throughput you get? I set up a link of AP-Client mode with only 3.4Km but the other location is on a thick foliage, while the other location is 1500ft above ground, yet, I can only get a signal strenght of -88 to -89..very poor

That will be too low. The foliage and obstacles cause huge attenuation.


My link is pretty clear. The AP is 100 meters high on a hill, while the client is on a platform at the other side. They maintain very good line of sight, clean Fresnel zone, no obstruction in the way. I got SNR > 18db, although signal strength is -95dbm.

At the beginning I was using the old firmware, where the Ethernet aggregate throughput was > 35Mbps. Later the new firmware released which supports extra channels. The throughput is reaching 45Mbps when I pick up a out of band channel such as frequency 6000MHz.
