TP-LINK EAP215-Bridge KIT
The TP-Link Omada EAP215-Bridge KIT is a preconfigured 5 GHz wireless bridge kit designed to extend a Gigabit network between buildings, cameras, offices, parking areas, farms, construction sites, warehouses, and other remote locations without running a physical Ethernet or fiber cable between sites. The two included bridge units automatically pair for a straightforward point-to-point connection and support an advertised wireless transmission distance of up to 3.1 miles / 5 kilometers when properly aligned with clear line of sight.
EAP215-Bridge delivers up to 867 Mbps 5 GHz Wi-Fi 5 performance and uses high-gain directional antennas to focus the wireless link between locations. Each bridge provides three Gigabit Ethernet ports, flexible 802.3af PoE, 24V passive PoE, or 12VDC power options, IP65 weather protection, 6kV lightning protection, app-guided alignment, point-to-multipoint expansion, and standalone or centralized Omada management for professional long-range wireless deployments.

Compatibility & Buying Information
Exact Product: This page is for the TP-Link Omada EAP215-Bridge KIT, which is supplied as a matched two-bridge kit for creating a wireless Ethernet connection between two locations.
Preconfigured Pair: The two included bridges are designed to automatically pair when powered, reducing the setup required for a basic point-to-point installation.
Current Hardware Version: TP-Link currently lists EAP215-Bridge KIT V3.20 in the U.S. The specifications on this page follow that current hardware. Earlier V1 and V2 hardware uses a different enclosure and 11 dBi antenna specification, so verify the hardware revision on NTS inventory when version-specific dimensions or antenna specifications matter.
5 km / 3.1 mi Rating: The published transmission distance is based on TP-Link laboratory testing. Real-world link distance and throughput depend on line of sight, bridge alignment, interference, mounting height, terrain, weather, regulatory limits, and other environmental conditions.
Clear Line of Sight: Long-range wireless bridge performance is best when the two directional antennas have a clear and unobstructed line of sight. Buildings, trees, terrain, and other obstructions can significantly reduce performance.
Directional Alignment: Current hardware uses a 14 dBi directional antenna with a 43° horizontal and 18° vertical beamwidth. Proper physical alignment becomes increasingly important as link distance increases.
App-Guided Alignment: Current EAP215-Bridge hardware supports visualized alignment assistance and link-speed testing through the Omada App to help installers optimize long-distance links.
Three Gigabit Ports: Each bridge provides three Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, allowing multiple wired devices such as cameras, switches, recorders, or computers to connect at a remote location without necessarily adding a separate small Ethernet switch.
Point-to-Multipoint: In addition to a standard two-device point-to-point link, current EAP215-Bridge hardware supports one main bridge connecting with up to four remote bridges using the supported multi-bridge pairing feature.
Firmware for Multi-Bridge Pairing: TP-Link notes that the simplified multi-bridge auto-pairing function requires supported firmware. Keep bridge firmware current when using point-to-multipoint deployments.
Flexible Power: Current V3.20 hardware can be powered by standard IEEE 802.3af PoE, the included 24V passive PoE adapter, or a compatible 12VDC source. TP-Link also lists compatibility with applicable solar-power deployments using the 12VDC input.
Passive PoE Safety: The included 24V passive PoE adapter does not negotiate power in the same way as standards-based IEEE PoE. Use it only with equipment and cabling intended for the specified passive PoE connection.
Outdoor Deployment: The bridge enclosure is rated IP65 and designed for outdoor use, but the supplied passive PoE adapter is intended for dry indoor installation. Protect indoor power components and network connections accordingly.
Omada Management: EAP215-Bridge supports standalone configuration as well as centralized management through compatible Omada Hardware, Software, and Cloud-Based Controllers.
Non-Omada Wired Devices: Devices connected directly to the bridge's Ethernet ports can pass network traffic normally, but TP-Link notes that non-Omada devices connected directly to those LAN ports may not appear with full connection-status visibility in the Omada controller.
Best Fit: EAP215-Bridge KIT is well suited to professional deployments that need to extend Ethernet between buildings or remote locations without trenching new cable, especially for IP surveillance, farms, parking areas, detached buildings, construction sites, and other long-range outdoor network links.
