creates a short-range wireless bridge

A Wireless Ethernet Connection

Internet Between Buildings Without Running Cable

The GNS-1163AC creates a dedicated point-to-point connection between two nearby locations. To your network, the link works much like an invisible Ethernet cable.

Use it to share Starlink, connect security cameras, extend internet to a detached garage, or bring network access to a shop, barn, gate, or small office.

Best for Short-Range Links

Clear line of sight is recommended. Trees, metal buildings, hills, and other obstructions can reduce performance. Send us the distance and a few photos if you are unsure.

Why Choose the GNS-1163AC?

1

Pre-Configured

The radios are paired and configured before shipment for a faster, easier installation.

5G

5 GHz Bridge

A dedicated outdoor wireless link for nearby buildings and remote network devices.

LED

Easy Alignment

External signal LEDs help you aim the antennas during installation.

PoE

Simple Power

Included 24V PoE injectors carry power and data over the Ethernet cable.

Common Applications

Built for Everyday Connectivity Projects

Starlink Sharing

Extend the Starlink connection from the main building to a nearby garage, shop, or outbuilding.

Security Cameras

Carry IP camera or NVR traffic across a dedicated bridge instead of relying on weak outdoor Wi-Fi.

Remote Buildings

Connect barns, workshops, offices, gates, maintenance buildings, and other nearby structures.

Straightforward Installation

How the Wireless Bridge Works

1

Main Location

Connect the first radio to your router, network switch, or Starlink Ethernet connection.

2

Frequently Asked Questions

How far will the GNS-1163AC work?

It is designed for short-range building-to-building links and performs best with clear line of sight. Contact GNS Wireless with your distance and site conditions for a specific recommendation.

Can I share Starlink with another building?

Yes. Connect one side of the bridge at the Starlink location and the other side at the remote building. Add a local router or access point when Wi-Fi is needed at the remote location.

Can the bridge connect security cameras?

Yes. It passes network traffic like an Ethernet cable, making it practical for IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and other remote network devices.

Is the kit already configured?

Yes. The two radios are paired and pre-configured before shipment for plug-and-play installation.

Is this better than a Wi-Fi extender?

For a separate building, generally yes. A wireless bridge creates a dedicated outdoor link, while a typical extender simply rebroadcasts an existing Wi-Fi signal.

Not Sure Which Wireless Bridge You Need?

Tell us the distance, whether trees or buildings are in the way, your internet provider, and what you need to connect. We will help match the right bridge to the project.
