This thing is awesome. I have not had Internet in my steel building for years through the fact that the signal will not go through it just works. Highly recommended simple to set up. I was able to do it and I am not very good with that sort of thing.

YOU MUST HAVE LINE OF SIGHT. While it might work through a wall or trees over a VERY short distance, LINE OF SIGHT is always the preferred configuration and this recommendation is based SOLELY on a line of sight use case.The instructions could be a little better, but as far as actual setup and use, they work great. I've purchased three sets now and as far out as 500' they work perfectly.I have experience with larger systems that work over 1 mine, and while these have smaller physical antennas than the pro systems, the actual technology and transmitting power is the same, so, I believe they would be fine for any application out to 1000 yards with a good line of sight. The farther out you go, the more important (and difficult) the antenna alignment becomes.The more experience you've had playing with 1)networks and 2)radios, the more I can recommend this as a first system for setting up a simple bridge between two buildings.

It was super easy to setup, the settings are not very intuitive in regards to the signal strength when aligning, you only know after its paired and it kind of has a signal meter, I would not count on that to aim, it does not update in real time like a cell or a wifi meter does.So with it being 20 Meters or 600 Ft, with clear line of sight It shows on the device "full bars" so the link should be 900mbps according to the advertisement. The most I have seen this do is 300mbps both up and down, this is connected to a 2Gb fiber connection, though a Gigabit port. It seems like a rock solid connection thus far, its been 100F outside and its been though 2 rains and its still working fine!Just to note even while setting them up locally with them being just a few feet away from each other, I could not get near the 900Mbps advertised (the reason for 4 stars and not 5), I tried messing with the channels, power level etc, but still seems to be no more than 300Mbps both download and upload, don't get me wrong it works, but I may end up purchasing another brand that I have seen videos on showing the speeds getting at or neat 1Gbps, because since I have a 2Gb both up and down internet connection, I would like to be able to send 1Gb to the other house.I also played around with it to see how well it does though trees and buildings, it actually does quite well, I drove about a mile away and powered it up though an inverter in my Car and set up a tripod and was able to get a signal though the woods and a few houses a mile away. I would have tried further, but there was no place to drive that would be aiming at the device at my house.So for the cost its not bad, but I would prefer a gigabit connection, and either an actual signal meter on the item, or at least in the web interface. That reminds me, even inside the web interface, there is no signal meter to tell you anything like Ubiquity, which is the company that I will be getting my next set with. I will still use this one, but it may just end up being used to cover my property in wifi, since you can connect to this as an access point aswell, and it covers my entire property when I'm outside.

Just set this up a few days ago. Setup 1 master and 2 slaves about 150' and 400' away. Both had pretty clear line of sight but not perfect. Tested in a few areas and the Mbps goes down significantly when trying to go through a lot of trees. The pairing of these was easy as I just had all 3 of them on the table and followed the instructions. Getting into the interface is not straight forward if you're not an IT person but not sure you really need the interface. As was pointed out by others this needs to be treated as an ethernet cable so you need to make sure you set the IP's of the routers differently to avoid conflict. Had an issue with this at first so read a lot about ethernet cable bridging of routers and they went through the IP address issue and the need to turn off DHCP on the slave routers. The Kuwfi then bridged correctly without any settings changes and we are getting only slightly reduced MBPS in both locations. I was worried about the bridges dropping as was noted in some posts but I have not experienced anything negative and I have this connected to starlink (not starlink router) which drops out periodically. I will update this review if anything changes.

CPE 5.8 KuWFI BridgeI had Chinese instructions which I can’t read, so I jumped right in and hooked them up. I picked one for a Master AP and one for the slave and they worked with no fussing over instructions. There is a 4-digit readout inside the cover of each unit which show a letter and “149”. I guess I got lucky picking the slave or possibly it just doesn’t matter. If you don’t get a connection, swap them out. There was no indication on the device label as to which one was the Master AP.I have 100 x 10 service from Spectrum and I’ve seen 112 x 11 once today. Right now with my laptop connected via WIFI to the 5.8 radio I’m only getting 67 x 11. That’s in the house.I ran 40 ft of ethernet cable from a wall jack and tied the AP so that it was approx. 10 ft off the ground. This area on my back porch facies a space that included some trees, a pond and pastures. I made sure that I had a direct line back to the AP even with trees close by. The slave unit (mounted on a pole) would end up being about 7 ft high out of the sunroof of my car.. I would not consider either height is acceptable for a solid test of this bridge (15 to 25 ft would be better and without trees).My laptop was connected to the slave and I turned the unit towards the AP unit. I made several tests of throughput using Speedtest.net at 75 ft, 600 ft and 1100 ft as measured on Google maps. I made 4 speed test at each distanceMy first test, 75 ft away, was off to the side of the AP (in my yard) and I measured 56 x 11 mbps. The 2nd test was at 1100 ft and I was able to achieve 47 x 11 mbps. That’s pretty good!! The 3rd test was at 600 ft and I clocked the speed at 51 x 11 mbps.. I went further away and beyond the pasture area to 1700 ft where I didn’t have a clear view and it appeared there was a slight hill between the devices. I was able to get 19 x 11 mbps with trees and other obstructions.My major use for this bridge would be to connect IP cameras from 400 ft to 1800 ft. This KuWFi bridge also has WIFI available on the slave unit so that more cameras can be connected at the remote location.Long distance test::I finally had time to make a large scale test today. I placed the units on opposite sides of a nearby resort lake. The distance as measured on Google Maps was 1.39 miles. I was skeptical but the results were 22.4 mbps x 11.8 mbps. As with the previous test, the master was tied up on a post near the lake at a height of 11 feet and the slave in my car was 6-7 feet. Optimal for both ends would be 25-30 feet. Unfortunately I will not be able to supply the in-house wifi number. This house has current Spectrum service (likely 100x10) but their very old Linksys router just wouldn’t spit out more than 17x10 on Wifi. I am pleased to see 22x12 over that distance because I got all of the upload and that’s what I need for security cameras.
