TP-LinkCPE710 | 5GHz AC 867Mbps Long Range Gigabit Outdoor CPE for PtP and PtMP Transmission | Point to Point Wireless Bridge | 23dBi | Passive PoE Powered w/Free PoE Injector | Pharos Control

I purchased this to provide internet to our new Airbnb that is about 1/2 mile away from our home with a clear line of sight. I was hopeful this would save the extra expense of a second ISP and I was shocked at how well it worked. I set up one unit as the AP and the second as a Client. That process took less than 15 minutes. I mounted the AP unit on our home and took the second unit down the street. To my amazement and delight I began receiving an adequate signal inside the house! Once mounted outside I was able to stream video on three TVs perfectly. There was no drop off in speed from our home. I believe there may be some confusion in the negative reviews. You must purchase two units to send and receive.

I've been using this outdoor router for several months now, and it's worked well. The setup is a little more complicated than your typical router, but if yu're technically minded, you will not have any issues. The key to getting a stable internet connection is in the alignment of the antenna, luckily it comes with a built in feature that shows you the signal strength using a simple UI. I am using it in AP Client Router Mode, which allows me to connect to an access point, and provide to multiple devices, but appearing to that access point as a single device. The range is sufficient for my needs currently, but I suspect that it would be better if mounted higher. It's survived Arizona's mild winter, and temperatures up to 100 degrees F so far. My only concern is that I'd hpe it could survive the heat of the summer, where temperatures can approach the high 110's. I will update my review if I run into any issues

Outstanding method of extending wifi to out buildings. Easy set up. Excellent throughput.

I bought two of these to get a decent network connection to my out-building.My out-building is about 100' away, well within the advertised range of these bridges but there are a few trees in the way and another building well within the Fresnel Zone.Setup was easy, one needs to set one as an access point and the other as a client.Configuration was easy using industry standard terminology. It irritates me when other companies feel the urge to use creative non-standard terminology in what they mistakenly believe will make their products easier to install. Thank You TP-Link for using standard terminology.There is a 23dBi gain on the parabolic antennas to push the serviceable range out to several kilometers.Since I am running them so close, I was able to run the transmit power from 27 dBm down to 15 dBm and still maintain a 50 dB signal to noise ratio.I did not run an Iperf test yet so I'm not sure about the throughput. I do know they are faster than my 100 Mbps rural Internet though. When I get around to running an Iperf I will update this review.Physically they aren't as heavily built as Ubiquiti's bridges, but they are well made and should hold up well.I would buy them again.

I used this product to transport Wi-Fi about 1km to a second house location that only had poor quality DSL availability with speeds of 2 to 6 Meg. We now are enjoying 550 Meg service which now allows us to stream media and use our cell phones (Wi-Fi calling).Prep work: Removed some trees for clear line of sight, ran Cat 6 cable from the fiber source to the soffit of house one, purchase 25’ outdoor cat 6 cable for second house.Mounted the first device under the soffit of house one, pointed antenna to location of house two antenna location, set PC with static IP, connected and configured as access point (ap), used guided config. app. set Wi-Fi SSID name, and manually set distance. Set up second device as client, used app antenna tuning tool to optimize signal from ap. Returned to ap and adjusted antenna using antenna tuning in app, returned to client side and further adjusted antenna to maximize signal from ap. Final result was signal strength of -58/-58, SNR 50, noise -91. Connected client side to existing Google mesh device, power cycled all Google mesh devices, power cycled all Wi-Fi devices connected to the Google mesh network.Notes: My Wi-Fi speed increased when I reduced my manual distance setting from 7KM to closer to my actual distance of 1KM (leaving it on automatic the system was setting it at .5 KM). My initial signal strength was in the -70s, with antenna tuning I was able to get it down to about -58. I had to restart my Google devices a couple of times to get the full speed. Test your transmit speed with your pc hard wired at the cable plugging into the ap and the same at the client side to clearly understand your speeds. I was never able to connect my pc at the client side and tested the speed via the Google home app on the client side mesh network.

Se hicieron pruebas basicas de conectividad y funciona bien. Falta ponerlo en producción, con tráfico real y con los 20 usuarios que necesito conectar, para poder evaluar la velocidad de transmisión.
