Long Range Wireless Bridge . I'm using this product to reach an open public access point 300-400 feet from my location. The signal from the public access point was so weak it wouldn't work with my laptop at half that distance but the Engenius works well using it's internal directional antenna achieving a signal to noise ratio of something like 35-40 db.
I did have one minor issue in that the first tech at Engenius I spoke with (who suggested this unit for my purpose) told me I'd be able to use the 2610 as a wireless repeater but after the installation I learned that this is only possible if the other end of the link (which I have no physical access to) is another 2610. As a result I had to connect the Ethernet cable from the 2610 to an inexpensive wireless access point to complete the repeater function and allow my laptop to connect wirelessly.

EnGenius EOC-2611P Outdoor High Power 600mW Access Point Reviews
Pleased with versitility and performance . Installed 3 EOC-2610's to extend wireless network to a house surrounded by live oaks on a Georgia seacoast island. Needed three (two access points and one client bridge) to zig zag around buildings and foliage.
Pros:
The latest firmware (V 1.2.4) seems stable and allows the device to be configured as an access point, client bridge, wds bridge, or client router, making it versatile.
Unit is relatively weatherproof when mounted vertically. I suspect it wouldn't survive a hurricane driven rain but would probably live through a typical thunderstorm.
Power Over Ethernet let us run a single ethernet cable to one device, which was mounted on a pole. Note that you do need to plug in a power supply for the injector but that can be in a protected location.
Built in antenna provided lots of signal between access point and client bridge and access point and rooms in a 3 story house.
Cons:
Documentation is out of date and doesn't match most recent firmware. Many settings are not explained. EnGenius knowledge base isn't much help either. Some of the information is simply wrong, such as a document entitled Universal Wireless Repeater that actually describes configuring a wireless repeater. (The EOC 2610 does not support universal wireless repeating so another EOC-2610 is required as the source access point.) Search the Wifithoughts forum to find better information than provided by EnGenius.
POE injector is 24 volts rather than the more typical 48 volts. This means that you cannot use a POE switch unless you can find one that injects 24 volts. As a result, you'll need to plug in a power supply for each device (which clutters up the installation).

EnGenius EOC-2611P Outdoor High Power 600mW Access Point Opinions
reliable and excellent performance at a reasonable price . I bought 2 of these units to set up a point to point between 2 buildings. One is set up as an access point, the other as a client bridge, shooting 500+ feet across a small lake (both units are pole mounted outside for LOS) The AP is connected to a older Linksys WRT54GL V1.1 router which serves DHCP for the small home network. Both are set up using WPA2-PSK/AES encryption and MAC filtering. Even across 500+ of water the link maintains -27dBm and a constant 54Mbps connection with a real world data rate averaging 18-20Mb. These have been up for over a year and gone through 2 winters with absolutely no problem. Both have been reset once, when doing a firmware upgrade. Bottom line - reliable and excellent performance at a very reasonable price.

Hint its all plastic . Since my last unit was all metal and lighting took it out I ordered this all plastic unit. I saw it being used at a boat marina and it works perfect for me!
Amazingly Simple and terrific results . I purchased two of these units to extend my wired network between two buildings in northern Maine. I had LOS of about 1000ft. I was pleased with how simple they were to set up. I'm not new to networking, but I'm by no means an expert. I know enough to get in trouble. Set up was easy. I set them in bridge mode, entered the MAC addresses in each units, assigned a static IP address for each unit, and presto, I was up and running. I'm using Lingo VOIP in the remote location, and it works flawlessly. There is no measurable difference with speed, latency or ping on either side of the bridge. I couldn't be happier with the product. The construction is great; attractive, unobtrusive in the wilderness, the POE was simple to use (I ran about 100ft using CAT6). I highly recommend this product for an inexpensive bridge.
AWESOME unit great for the price! . After reading some of these reviews, I was nervous about trying the EOC-2610 for my application but decided to give it a go anyway. It did take me a little while to figure out the right settings, but the Engenius tech support was extremely helpful and stayed on the line with me for over 30 minutes to get everything set up. The main thing I was doing wrong is that I set both units to "Client Bridge" mode but in fact one unit needs to be in "Access Point" mode while the other is in "Client Bridge" mode for a bridged connection.
I am using two of the EOC-2610 units to bridge the internet connection from my house over to a warehouse about 1/4 mile away on the other side of a busy freeway. I don't have direct line of site, but it's almost line of site. There is a corner of a building that protrudes 5-10 feet into the line of site between the two access points. I set up one unit inside a window of my house, and the other mounted to the top of the warehouse - with a 280 ft. ethernet cable going along the top of the warehouse and down to my wifi router that I use to re-broadcast the signal in the warehouse (the EOC-2610 can't be used as a router at the same time it's in bridge mode, so you need to supply another wifi router if you're looking to re-broadcast the signal you receive through the EOC-2610).
At my house I get about 15-20 Mbps download/upload speeds, and at the shop I'm consistently getting 5-7 Mbps download/upload speeds. Right now the signal strength on the receiving device in "Bridge Mode" shows medium - I assume most of this is because I don't have a direct line of site, I'm going through a window, and I didn't do anything special to aim the two devices at each other (just eye-balled it). The speeds I'm getting now are just fine, but in the future if I want better I'll try mounting the EOC-2610 at my house on the roof where I can get line of sight view to the warehouse roof and avoid going through the window. Hopefully that will bring me closer to the 15-20Mbps I'm getting plugged in at home! I had problems getting the Super G mode to work right - but since I have a good reliable connection in G mode I'm not too concerned about that. For the low price of these units, they exceeded my expectations!

Great unit... especially for 3rd party applications. . One of the most appealing aspects to this model is the flexibility for third party firmware. In my case I had originally started with DD-WRT which was promoted on a small sheet of paper located within the retail box. What the user has to understand is the fine print which basically says once you install another firmware... you cannot revert back to the factory firmware. A search on Google will actually show you how to revert back if needed.
DD-WRT is a good alternative firmware which gives you flexibility in controlling more of the unit. It does require a purchase of a license. But having such functions such as having the unit automatically reboot should it lose communication with a radio, or scheduled reboots. There are plenty of other functions but it would be best to simply check out their website @ dd.wrt.com
But recently another project has come into play utilizing OpenWRT and Ad-Hoc Mesh networking. Open-Mesh.com / www.blogin.it allows you to flash these units into a mesh type of network. Each radio then will configure itself to find the one gateway/radio to the internet and build a route. Should one radio drop out, the rest will automatically reroute and maintain the connection. PLUS! It will send a report to you through a dashboard utility. So for a coffee shop, or Bed & Breakfast. You can have a public network which can be throttled down and limited, and have a private encrypted network for your own needs. It is a real interesting project.
But back to the radio itself.
PRO's: 8 Meg Flash / 32 Meg RAM vs. 4/16 of the Ubiquiti Nanostation
24v Power over Ethernet injector allows greater distance to run.
600mw output gives you plenty of power.
Price.
Firmware alternatives are out there to bring different functionality.
CON's: Signal loss on external RP-SMA is noticeable. Most recommend to stick with the internal panel.
Inexperienced users may be intimidated by flashing, utilizing other applications.

Cons Review
Disappointing in multiple aspects. . I purchased a pair of the EnGenius EOC-2610's in order to wirelessly connect two buildings on our farm separated by 500 meters so both buildings could use the the same DSL access to the internet. The first unit installed easily as a workable "access point" to the LAN containing the DSL/router despite very poor documentation of how to do it and no schematics. This worked for two days and then the devices's electronics failed before I even had a chance to set up the 2nd unit of the pair for a stronger signal in the second building. I ended up replacing the first unit with the second as a simple "access point" in the main building so at least I could communicate with the second building's wireless enabled laptop.
I sent a detailed concise email to EnGenius explaining my troubles in simple non-accusatory language. They never responded. The device could not be returned to the vendor without the approval of Engenius so I never was able to get my money back before the 30 day grace period expired.
In summary my device failure rate was 50% in the first two days of operation, the instructions for a motivated non-network engineer are inadequate, and the support was nonexistent. I myself would not buy from EnGenius again.

EnGenius EOC-2610 is a poor product . In November, 2009, I purchased the EnGenius EOC-2610. By March, 2010, the device stopped working. The device would receive power, but I could not access the device. The cables and settings were tested and found to be in working order. I spoke to an Engenius technician and sent the device in for repair. Engenius indicated that the LAN port went bad on the EOC-2610 device and they had to replace it. Engenius did repair the device at no cost to me except for shipping the device to them for repair. By May, 2011, the device broke again same circumstance as before. I contacted Engenius and they indicated that since the device was out of warranty the only thing I could do is purchase a new device which they would give me $20 discount. Thanks you very much EnGenius. Please note: During the period from March 2010 to April 2011, I had used the device very little and the device was packed away carefully in storage. When I started using it again in April, 2011 it worked great until about June, 2011 when it broke again. I explained to Engenius I would never buy an their product again for the following reasons: 1) I didn't have the device 6 months before it initially broke, 2) when it broke, Engenius should have paid all costs associated with their defective product, and 3) the repaired device lasted a bit over a year before it broke again and that's even without much use during that time, 4) this wifi product should last longer without breaking down at all. I was very disappointed with Engenius and their product and would not recommend this product to anyone interested in a wifi system.

not for novice networkers . The instructions for this product are VERY vague to say the least and have discrepancies between the written instructions and the PDF file on the CD that comes with it! You won't get any decent help from the Techs of Engenius because they are just as vague as the instructions and treat you like an idiot. I have had this product since Christmas and it is still NOT UP AND RUNNING. I bought 2 of them in hopes to build a wireless network. I am out $150 if I can't find help from the Techs at Engenius otherwise I guess I can consider myself screwed! I have had schooling for networking so I am not stupid! But this product is incredibly hard to figure out the correct settings unless you can read between the lines. GOOD LUCK if you buy this is all I have to say!
