EnGenius ENSTATION5-AC

Overview

The EnGenius ENSTATION5-AC is a wireless outdoor bridge designed to connect multiple locations over the 5 GHz frequency band without the need for physical cables. It features a 19 dBi directional antenna that enables stable connections at distances up to five miles, making it suitable for linking campus buildings, remote security cameras, or outbuildings like barns. The device supports wireless speeds up to 867 Mbps and uses MU-MIMO technology to efficiently handle multiple devices competing for bandwidth.

Its compact, weather-resistant enclosure with an IP55 rating protects against rain, dust, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring reliable operation in outdoor environments. The included Power over Ethernet (PoE) adapter allows for convenient installation on poles or rooftops without requiring a nearby power outlet. Flexible firmware options let the unit operate as an Access Point, Client Bridge, or WDS node, supporting both point-to-point and multipoint network configurations.

Connectivity and compatibility

The ENSTATION5-AC connects via Ethernet cable that carries both data and power through the included PoE adapter, allowing flexible placement without the need for a separate power source. Its 5 GHz operation avoids the crowded 2.4 GHz band, reducing interference and improving link stability. The device supports point-to-point and multipoint wireless bridging, making it compatible with various network topologies commonly used in outdoor and industrial environments.

Installation and setup

Installation is streamlined with the included hardware kit and adjustable mounting bracket, which allow for secure attachment to poles or walls and precise antenna alignment. The PoE adapter simplifies wiring by combining power and data into a single cable, reducing clutter and installation time. Firmware options provide flexibility to configure the device according to the network’s needs, whether as a central hub or a client station.

Ideal uses and environments

This wireless bridge is well suited for environments requiring reliable long-range outdoor connectivity, such as connecting buildings on a campus, extending network access to remote security cameras, or linking agricultural outbuildings to a main residence. Its robust weatherproof design and high-gain antenna make it a strong choice for farms, schools, warehouses, and construction sites where wired connections are impractical or costly.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
