Network bridge TP‑Link Omada EAP100‑BRIDGE KIT — 300 Mbps, 2x2 internal antennas, Fast Ethernet

The TP‑Link Omada EAP100‑BRIDGE KIT is a compact outdoor network bridge kit that creates a point‑to‑point wireless link with up to 300 Mbps throughput (Wi‑Fi 4, 802.11n) and a maximum transmission distance of 1640 ft (500 m). It features an IP65 weatherproof enclosure, internal 2x2 antennas (up to 8 dBi), three Fast Ethernet ports, and flexible powering options including 802.3af PoE, 24V passive PoE and 12V DC.

Advantages

The kit arrives preconfigured for instant auto‑pairing so installation is simplified to powering the units and aligning them. Omada SmartBridging and App‑Guided Alignment support quick long‑distance setup and built‑in speed testing helps verify link performance. With a rugged IP65 design and an extended operating temperature range, the bridge is suitable for demanding outdoor use. Multiple power options and three Ethernet ports allow connecting additional cameras or devices without adding a separate switch.

Suitable for

• Extending a network link between buildings or sites up to 500 m
• Connecting remote LAN devices such as IP cameras, access controllers or POS terminals
• Temporary or rapid deployments where plug‑and‑play setup is required

When it may not be suitable

This bridge provides wireless throughput up to 300 Mbps (Wi‑Fi 4, 802.11n), which may be insufficient for high‑bandwidth applications such as multiple simultaneous 4K video streams or backbone links that require gigabit speeds. It is intended for point‑to‑point bridging rather than full site Wi‑Fi coverage; additional access points are needed to serve many concurrent users.

Key specifications

• Wireless standard: Wi‑Fi 4 (IEEE 802.11n), compatible with 802.11b/g
• Maximum wireless throughput: 300 Mbps
• Maximum transmission distance: up to 1640 ft (500 m)
• Antennas: internal 2x2 design, up to 8 dBi
• Ethernet: 3 × Fast Ethernet (RJ‑45)
• Power options: 802.3af PoE, 24V passive PoE, 12V DC
• Ingress protection: IP65 weatherproof enclosure
• Operating temperature range: -40°F to +158°F
• Colour: white

How to use

Mount the two bridge units on poles or walls facing each other, power them using PoE or 12V DC, then follow the preconfigured auto‑pairing process. Use the Omada app for visualized alignment and instant speed testing to fine‑tune the link. Connect local devices to the Fast Ethernet ports to extend a LAN over the wireless bridge. Choose standalone mode for simple setups or Omada SDN mode for centralized remote management via Web UI or app.

What to consider before purchase

• Required link distance — ensure the sites are within 500 m line‑of‑sight
• Bandwidth needs — 300 Mbps wireless throughput may limit very high‑bandwidth use cases
• Powering method availability — verify PoE or 12V DC options on site
• Mounting options — suitable for pole or wall mounting and outdoor installation

Recommendations

For best performance, ensure clear line‑of‑sight between units, use the app‑guided alignment during installation, and allow sufficient antenna clearance from obstructions. Use Omada SDN mode if you need centralized monitoring and configuration across multiple bridges and access points.
