Need bridge from comm modules in solar inverters to a wireless router in house 160 ft away. This product or another?

With that close of distance you can actually use the Nanostation also but this will work too. The best thing is to use one at each location.

I am using them to shoot an internet signal about 2 miles... through an old fiberglass garage door and some trees. It works wonderfully. It may be overkill for what you are doing though. I wish I could be of more help, I'm pretty green at the wireless stuff.

You probably could but the reception will not be very good i had one in the basement about 50 feet from my router returned it to costco, I would try a powerlink adapter set if your garage is wired to the house....

That depends on alot of factors, brick, wood, etc. I have wood walls and can pick up a strong signal 70 feet away. FCC limits the transmission power to 1000 mw, so this puts out the maximum power. It is stronger than other routers that I have, but the real magic of this router is the meshing capability and band width monitoring and control capability. If you only need one router and don't need multiple guest control then just get a regular wireless router. This is a wireless switch and needs a router to connect to before your modem.

Thank you for such a quick reply! I currently have a Cyberpower 450va and the computer, monitor, and WiFi router are plugged into the battery backup section. It works fine. I recently had FIOS installed, and got the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) without the battery backup. I was thinking of buying the larger CyberPower 850 to be sure it could handle everything (for a couple of minutes until our generator starts), especially since I have no clue how many watts the ONT uses. Thanks again for your response.

Since the extender depends on the signal from the router, most likely this unit will not connect at 1000 feet. For that distance you would need to use the Pro Series devices and establish a wireless bridge between both locations.

You need a professional license to transmit over the 1 watt consumer user power limit. You need to create a wireless link with a repeater in the middle say at mile 15. AP > repeater > client. You need at least 5 watts of power at each site. You are looking in the thousands of dollars for commercial grade equipment. Not worth it. This low power equipment will not work. And if it does it will be extremely slow and intermittent at best.

Not possible with my router (WNR3500 which is 2.4Ghz) . Needs to be 5Ghz. I'm returning the bridge and getting the bundle which is two of them.

Just need to run a cat 5 cable from your router to the AP and install the controller on your PC. No outlet needed outside because of the POE feature. Will not work as a wireless bridge from your Netgear. There are however several companies that have wireless repeaters and they work pretty well.

I too live in a semi rural area, closest neighbor is about 150 yards away, I can get full signal on his wireless router. If you run Linux you can increase the power and it will go even further.

Depends on the router. If your router is too far away, then you can always purchase a linksys plwk400 powerline wi-fi access point kit to extend wi-fi to area of home where the wemo and other wi-fi devices need better wi-fi signal. Here is link on amazon for the linksys plwk400 product pageLinksys Powerline AV Wireless Network Extender (PLWK400)

It is possible to install wireless ethernet bridge that should allow you to bypass the need to run ethernet wire to the individual handsets. There are multiple available options, including those that run through ethernet communications through your power lines. I would avoid power line bridges if possible, but those are useful if you can't get the signal through the walls or the distance in you facilities. Western Digital WDBMRD0000NBL is completely wireless bridge and one of my favorites. NOTE: I did not try this approach for the purpose of communicating with the this particular system.

You don't give enough information to answer your question. You need to know the voltage and the distance. If you download the catalog from Backwoods Solar.com. It's free, it has a wire chart on page 51 so you can figure out the right wire for your site. This catalog has a lot of good information. You should have it. That's a lot of wattage for that controller. You might double check that. Dan

If you have the know how; you can take an old router and possibly turn it into a wireless bridge which may work better.

In theory it could work, but I wouldn't mess around with trying. If you're trying to create a wireless link as a bridge, buy two and set it up that way. It's simple to do and works. I've never been very successful getting stable bridges built using cross-vendor products.

FYI - a cheaper solution is to buy a cheap used wireless router and set it up as a wireless bridge. I purchased one used for $29.99 . I now have my bd-p1600 hardwired to the bridge and it works great.. I am using dd-wrt on both..

Really depends on how far the RF signal needs to go to get into your Insteon network. I carried mine as far as I could away from any dual-mode switches and my controller, which was about 25 feet, and it still worked for me. If the RF reception occurred near your garage, I bet it would work. It is a nice little controller. The ability to recharge it with a MicroUSB cord instead of having to deal with swapping out batteries is really nice.
