Vonets 5GHz Industrial WiFi Bridge Router VAP11S-5G

VONETS VAP11S-5G is a compact industrial 5GHz WiFi bridge, repeater and router that converts between Ethernet and wireless networks while using an intelligent cooling fan for stable continuous operation.

This small yet powerful unit is designed to bring high-speed 5GHz wireless connectivity to wired devices — or vice versa — in industrial, surveillance, and IoT settings. Supporting 802.11a/ac/n and an up-to-900 Mbps nominal rate, the VAP11S-5G adds two external antennas, adjustable transmit power, and MAC/IP layer transparent transmission modes to handle demanding network linkups where reliability matters.

How does the VAP11S-5G connect wired equipment to a WiFi network?

The VAP11S-5G can act as a WiFi-to-Ethernet bridge so devices with only an RJ45 port can access a wireless hotspot. It supports both IP-layer and MAC-layer transparent transmission to maintain original network behavior, and it can operate in router, repeater, bridge or AP modes depending on your topology.

• Converts Ethernet to WLAN or WLAN to Ethernet for legacy devices.
• Supports router mode with WiFi WAN uplink and WAN/LAN exchange.
• Transparent transmission preserves device addressing and protocols.
• Two adaptive 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces (RJ45 and cable).

What wireless performance and capacity can I expect?

This model runs on the 5GHz band with support for 802.11a/ac/n and a rated wireless throughput up to 900 Mbps under optimal conditions. Two external high-gain 5G antennas and adjustable transmit power (19dBm/23dBm) help improve range and stability while supporting simultaneous connections to over 20 client devices and remembering up to 100 hotspots for faster reconfiguration.

• Dual external 5GHz antennas for stronger, more stable reception.
• Adjustable transmit power for longer links or denser deployments.
• Supports 20+ simultaneous WiFi clients and stores 100 hotspots.
• Point-to-point reach up to ~200 m line-of-sight, reduced for video.

How does the device stay reliable in industrial use?

The VAP11S-5G is built for continuous operation: it accepts a wide DC voltage range (5–24V), includes two-stage overvoltage protection and an industrial DC connector, and houses an automatic smart cooling fan that only runs when needed. Status LEDs on the unit indicate Ethernet, WiFi and system state so you can monitor links at a glance.

• Wide voltage support and two-stage overvoltage protection for industrial power.
• Smart fan with automatic start/stop to prevent overheating during heavy use.
• Operating temperature from -20°C to 50°C for varied environments.
• LED indicators for Ethernet (yellow), WiFi (green) and system (blue).

Which devices and scenarios is this best for?

The VAP11S-5G is suitable wherever a stable wireless link must interface with wired equipment. Typical uses include CCTV/DVR systems, IP cameras, medical and industrial devices, PLCs, network printers, robots and IoT nodes that lack native WiFi or require dedicated wireless backhaul.

• Ideal for surveillance systems, DVR/NVR, and IP cameras needing WiFi access.
• Useful for industrial PLCs, AGVs, robots and factory IoT devices.
• Works for network printers, legacy Ethernet devices and video transmitters.
• Includes mounting kit for fixed installations and external antennas.

Who is this for: system integrators, installers and technicians who need a compact, versatile wireless bridge with industrial-grade input options and active cooling. If you operate video links, legacy Ethernet devices, or distributed IoT equipment and require a dependable 5GHz link with configurable transmission modes and robust power handling, the VONETS VAP11S-5G is built to bridge those networks without adding bulky infrastructure.
