TP-Link CPE210 2.4GHz 300Mbps Wi-Fi Outdoor CPE, Dual-Polarized 9dBi Directional MIMO Antenna, Point-to-Multi-Point Connections, [White]

These units were a godsend solution for my ever nerve wrecking regular cable damage by snaps, heat damage or whenever a tree falls. Many hazards in india. A STABLE Wireless solution is the one for me so decided to experiment & bought the 2.4Ghz CPE 210 units to connect my Home (AP) & two office buildings (Client unit 1 & 2).P.S - I got these even as I knew that 2.4G band has a lot of interference. My area has less network congestion. Will post again when I compare with my future 5Ghz CPE units.CPE 210 has a Built-in 12dBi 2x2 dual-polarized directional MIMO antenna, Adjustable transmission power from 0 to 30dBm/1000mw, System-level optimizations for more than 13km long range wireless transmission, TP-LINK Pharos MAXtream TDMA (Time-Division-Multiple-Access) technology improves product performance in throughput, capacity and latency performance, ideal for PTMP applications. CPE210 is dedicated to cost effective solutions for outdoor wireless networking applications. With its centralized management application, it is flexible and ideal for point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and outdoor Wi-Fi coverage applications. Professional performance, coupled with user-friendly design, makes CPE210 an ideal choice for both business and home users.TP-Link's claim is 5km+ Wireless Data Transmission. I never tested that range. My 2 offices were 0.5 & 1.2 KM away from my home. No signal drops for me.TP-LINK MAXtream Tech - As network scale increases, wireless competition and collisions among CPEs and base stations will be so enormous that the real throughput of the network will drop, resulting in a serious impact on end-user experience. To mitigate these effects, the CPE210 uses MAXtream TDMA Technology. This, I really have no idea if it really works or it's just a marketing term. Still, my connections never dropped.Management tools include -• Antenna Alignment: We can use the antenna alignment tool to adjust the direction of the APs using a live signal strength meter to judge which direction is best making setup that much simpler.• Distance Setting: With the AP’s ACK timeout tool able to adjust the distance between two APs, it allows us to set a specific distance in order to establish the most robust wireless connection possible.• Ping Watch Dog: enables us to maintain the ping command to check the quality of the wireless link and can reboot the remote AP if the wireless signal becomes worse or disconnects.The 210 also comes device discovery, status monitoring.So far so good. Happy Purchase. Worked for my Home to my clinic Office LAN setup (1.2KM - One AP unit & one Client unit) installed in direct line of sight.Since these units have stable transmission speeds & connection, I've ordered the 5Ghz units. Will convert the 2.4G unit's use for my network cameras.A week later:I just realised that the 2.4Ghz band won't give me the full potential of my existing gigabit LAN with a 300mbps fiber WAN. my office LAN internet speeds never crossed 45mbps. But at home I'm getting 255-270mbps speeds. Since these 2 units are a successful experiment of mine, I ordered the 5ghz CPE710 867mbps 23dbi model units for the updrade. Then I'll repurpose the existing units for my office's network video recorder's video transmission to my home.

Easy to configure and use. Reliable product. I purchased 3 sets for our Lift CCTV cameras. They are working fine. I recommend to buy.

Comments:We tried many times to replace or return the item, but there is no effective support from both the Amazon and Tplink sides. The item not fulfilled the range of coverage, it's not working. Poor customer service experience from both the Amazon and Tplink. Very very worst experience

Nice

Not good

aside from getting used one i can return it but don't have time since the product working fine..I purchased 2 to install point to point in 5km distance getting 60mbps same as my plan...I recommend to absorb spectrum analysis to select the right frequency band to prevent from ping loss...

Supperb Speed

rock solid stable. using to connect to another place @ 0.3km away and getting full dignal strength + 60mbps from to point to point.I have 40Mibit Fiber internet and getting the same speed at the other end too, was skeptical initially to buy or not but it is working really very well...the front is glossy :( I put a plastic cover and a hole at the bottom to keep it clean outdoor, fixed to a pole.UPDATE: Ordered on 11 December 2016STILL ROCK SOLID.Tp-Link WR740n, DVR, PC, WiFi - > AP -------- Client <-router - 2x PC, 1 DVR, WiFiThinking to go to ubiquiti one but has no service, tp link much better than that in service and reliability. if PoE adapter dies, it is 24v and easily available to replace due to standard 24v, ubiqiti has 25v and many other issues too, cheap quality, breaking rings, etc, TP link has a solid installation base and I am using this since 2 months without any issue,
