C. Crane Long Range WiFi Bridge System (WBK): Your Solution for Long-Range Connectivity
Comes Configured and Wired - Easy Setup, High Value
The Long Range WiFi Bridge System is the best way to connect two locations to the same network wirelessly up to 3 miles away. This system is very simple to set up. It comes preconfigured and wired by C. Crane so there are no settings to adjust or software to install. Just attach the antennas (sold separately) to each half of the bridge, at each location, and plug them in. Use larger antennas like the Point-To-Point WiFi Antenna for long distances, or smaller antennas for shorter distances. Good line of sight without obstructions must be achieved between both antennas for best reception. LED lights on each bridging device make it easy to align your antennas with each other.
You will need to connect the first half of the WiFi Bridge, using the supplied 60" (5 foot) Ethernet cable, to an empty LAN port on your router. The Wireless Bridge then beams the encrypted Internet signal to your second location wirelessly. The second half of the system terminates with an Ethernet cable that provides Internet and network connectivity to one computer or other WiFi devices by using a WiFi router. You will need power at both locations to power the Bridge.
The signal between the two points of the WiFi Bridge System are heavily encrypted for security. The cost of the WiFi Bridge System is a fraction of the more expensive proprietary systems.
Up to 150 feet of regular low loss Cat-5e or Cat-6 Ethernet cable (not included) can be used to mount the antenna even further away on top of a tree or tower.
Please Note: C. Crane recommends the following antennas with the Long Range WiFi Bridge System: Point to Point WiFi Antenna and High-Gain 8dBi 2.4GHz Outdoor WiFi Antenna. It is possible to use another company's antennas that use the N-female type connection however we do not recommend antennas with a higher gain than what we offer due to FCC restrictions.

C. Crane long range wifi bridge system review
by Jeff Hall
My shop is 325 feet from my house. Has a good line of sight "between" a few trees. Put all the parts together, plugged up all the power, aimed the antennas just by eyeball and instantly had wifi in my shop. The speed at my shop is as good or better than my home. This system cost about what 1 year of internet service would be if installed by my internet provider. So this system will pay for itself in a year. Very simple assembly and setup instructions with high quality components. I am very pleased with this system and would highly recommend it.
An inexpensive solution to get internet/wifi to a house far from a public road.

We needed a way to get internet/wifi to a home with a long private driveway too far & expensive to install by any local provider. Our home is 1/3 mile from this house with no obstructions. The C. CRANE LONG RANGE WIFI BRIDGE SYSTEM (WBK) was fairly easy to set up & install at each home & perhaps I was “lucky� in that I didn’t have to do any adjustments to each long range wifi antenna (sold separately) other than the initial installation, and just by lining each by eyesight. After installation/setup I checked wifi download speed at the client house on my iPhone and had 31Mbps! The manufacturers literature mentioned download speeds to 24Mbps, so needless to say we are pleased with this point to point wifi system!
