Engenius company provides GREAT customer service :-)
Got these 2 devices to beam (Starlink satellite) internet signal from home to another building 500ft away. They work great, now that they are up&running. Was told it was "plug & play", easy to get going. Well, not for me, and I know computer stuff (but not networking, etc). I gave it a good effort on my own. The enclosed teeny-tiny sized 'user guide' was no help, as it assumed you knew some basics of this SSID, Channel, ip addresses environment. The app is kinda ok and includes a wizard setup but, ultimately I think you need to go to your url line and type in ip address for each device and config that way. I learned some stuff watching Youtube videos but really? I just need to know what to put where, in settings.A big shout-out to the Engenius company bc they provide AWESOME customer service! I got desperate and was looking for FAQs and support on their website. For the heck of it, I started a chat in chat-box. And was shocked to get personal assistance from a California-based rep! She ended up scheduling a support phone call with me the next day, and used AnyDesk to remotely config my system. And answer my questions along the way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND you take screenshots of your device setups and have those somewhere for future reference. We had bad lightening storm not long after getting these going, and the Access Point device stopped working. Was so glad I had screenshots.

Functions transparently like an ethernet cable in WDS Bridge mode.
I was looking for a way to expand my network from my home out to my shed in the back yard, but I didn't want to bury a cable and I didn't want another visible wifi network clogging the airways.I ordered a two-pack of these because they are rated at 867Mbps; and installation, deployment, and setup were a cinch!A few thoughts for those on the fence about this product:- The full 867Mbps transfer rate is what I regularly get, but there is <100 yd between the two points.- These will pass VLAN tags (and jumbo frames) just as if they were an ethernet cable directly connected at each end.- The management interface is a customized version of LuCI (similar to OpenWRT), so configuration is easy.- They are a 24V Passive PoE, and do not negotiate a PoE handshake with a PoE+ injector or switch. If your switch is capable of sending passive 24V, they will work. Otherwise, use the included injectors. They do not play well with 48v Passive. Ask me how I know...Overall, I give these a 10/10.

I first used these several years ago. The mental note I made for myself was that they are solid performers but a royal pain to set up.Today I got a reminder of what I initially said - a complete headache to setup.If you use their preassigned configuration it is nearly plug and play. But we can almost never use preassigned IPs and settings. If you change more than one setting on either of a paired devices, the device will not work. We saw this over and over. And we have decades of hardware experience here.Ultimately we had to change one setting on one device and do a backup of the configuration device so that if it crashed we could at least avoid having to start from zero. We still are struggling to get some settings to "take" and to work. Oh, and there is no simply undoing changes. If you make a change of any sort and then undo the change, it won't work. It could not be any more difficult to configure. Never seen anything like this.The problem is that the other antennas at this level are OK but the construction is super delicate. The plastic used is several times thinner so if it is used outdoors the sun will break it down much sooner. And we setup one of these cheaper pairs to have it not work in the field.I believe it is generally too much to expect a quality device at a reasonable price that is easy to configure and will work as expected for a reasonable amount of time. One can wish...

Works good
Works at the camp site. Easy to install watched a couple youtube videos on it and that was a great help.

1.1km, performance has been great, easy setup. Uses OpenWRT under the hood too!
I used these units to extend my network over a 1.1km distance from my home to my office. Despite many buildings in the signal's path there is a narrow line of sight, setup was straightforward. After testing the units 200' apart at home, I mounted them on poles on both roofs. Without any fine-tuning, they worked perfectly. Using iperf3 tests, I achieved a reliable 200mbps+ throughput with <5ms median latency, which meets my needs perfectly.
