802.11AG Outdoor High Power 600MW Client Bridge/access Point Reviews
The Perfect "Long Range" WiFi Solution . Hello,
I do all of the IT work for a very large RV park and we have had major problems with WiFi in the past, but I've got to tell you; ever since I installed this unit in the park our problems are now only a distant memory.
This pole mounted Engenius router (600MW Client Bridge/access Point), along with the right antenna, are absolutely the right choice for any of your long range WiFi needs. I paired this unit up with the "Hawking HI Gain Omni Directional Outdoor 15dBi Antenna" and set it up for a range of 2 kilometers. I set it at maximum power and I haven't had any problems bringing in a nearly full strength WiFi signal over a ? mile away since. After I installed this unit I jumped in my car and logged on, I started an online movie and started driving. I was nearly a 1/2 mile away before the movie had to pause to rebuffer. In short; I strongly recommend this unit. Let me put it this way, after installing the first one we've since installed three more, "I love it". (And all for right around $200 in parts.) Thanks for reading and Enjoy!!

802.11AG Outdoor High Power 600MW Client Bridge/access Point Opinions
Works Like a Charm (With Some Experimentation) . Despite bad reviews posted on Amazon, I decided to give EOC5611P a try. I linked two building that are approx 200 feet apart in bridged mode and am quite pleased with the performance.
Here are a couple of things you should know before you buy the product:
1. EOC5611P's internal antennas works only for 'A' operation. For 'G' operation you have to install external antennas otherwise range is going to be no more than couple hundred feet LOS.
2. It is not a regular router: If you think this product is going to let you access your Internet over WiFi connection up to 1 Mile (like a regular Linksys G Router), it ain't happening. Reason being EOC5611P requires External Antennas for 'G' Operation. Even with external antennas it won't work because laptop WiFi cards are not powerful enough to transmit signal 1 Mile. What you will experience is, laptop will 'see' the Access Point, but will not be able to 'talk' to it.
3. Network Bridge: What you CAN do with this product is, link two buildings that are in line of sight (means two devices should be able to see each other without major obstructions). In Bridged mode, you have to setup one device as Access Point and other as Client. What I did learn is, with factory loaded firmware if Access Point is setup to 'Auto Channel', things just don't work! I had to assign a channel manually and then everything worked like a charm.
Overall I am happy with the product. It is well constructed, looks quite durable and has plenty of pole or wall mounting options. Only con is software needs improvement on Engenius part (thats where I took one star off).

Cons Review
Highly disappointed . Having more than 13 years under my belt as a multi-certified IT consultant often engaging projects independently or as the technical lead for clients such as JPMorgan-Chase, Walt Disney's EPCOT Center, Orlando International Airport, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, and more, I should have known better than to think this low-priced unit with such high-performance claims was too good to be true... and I would have been right.
The goal was to bridge a network where the EOC-5611 and it's predecessor, the now discontinued EOC-5610, were 240 feet apart. With direct unobstructed line-of-sight, mounted atop a 25' mast, and fitted with high-quality ethernet cable, the signal began to fade at 100 feet and was completely degraded by 150 feet, regardless of band or antenna type used. The unit likewise performed as poorly when used as an access point. A good signal could be achieved between 80-100 feet, but dropped so significantly that a connection could not be made past 150 feet.
In my tests, this unit failed to produce more than 10mW using the internal panel antenna and no more than 13mW using a 9dBi external omni-directional antenna for both the 802.11a and 802.11b/g bands - nowhere near the company's 600mW claim and more akin to consumer-grade indoor access points in the sub-$50 price range offered by LinkSys, NetGear, or Belkin.
Interestingly, phone conversations with the technical support personnel at EnGenius revealed that the unit, when fitted with the external omni antenna mentioned above, could expect to reach only a maximum of 400mW and that the internal antenna was only for the 802.11a band... that an external antenna was necessary if one wished to use the 802.11b/g band. They suggested that I spend hundreds more per unit for a parabolic, yagi, or patch directional antenna to achieve a strong signal for the 240' distance I required. Amazing... the advertising boasts that this unit is "high-power" commercial-grade client premises equipment, easily capable of 1-30km transmission range. Yet, in reality, I can throw a baseball a greater distance than this unit can transmit a wireless signal!
Based on the information presented here, at Amazon, and information and data sheets obtained at the EnGenius web site, I recommended this product to a client with a low-budget for the client/bridge solution. What should have been a quick and easy install resulted in many hours of on-site configuration and troubleshooting, and ultimately caused a strained client relationship. Although I salvaged the client, it cost me an additional $1300 to replace these units with a pair of D-Link DWL-2700AP's to do so. They work flawlessly and I have never looked back.
If I could give Zero stars for this product, I would. Unless you love headaches, frustration, and losing clients... run away, run far away from the EOC-5610/EOC-5611.

Just use the Ubiquiti Nanostation M2 instead. . We have always used the Nanostation 2 or AirGrid M2. Since they were out of stock with those units we went with EnGenuis. That was the worst decision we could have made. These units do not get anywhere near the same distance, power, software, or professionalism as the Ubiquiti units that are the same price.
Do yourself a favor and just choose a Nanostation 2 or M2 instead. It will save a lot of time, money and headache.
