TP-Link 2.4GHz N300 Long Range Outdoor CPE for PtP and PtMP Transmission | Point to Point Wireless Bridge | 9dBi, 5km+ | Passive PoE Powered w/Free PoE Injector | Pharos Control (CPE210)

This CPE is great. I've used this in a setup for a family member to get internet out to their gazebo that is about 150ft from their house. Streaming video for watching NFL games, MLB games, movies etc works great without issue. It's an awesome setup! With that, I decided to get one myself to have internet in my detached shop. It's only about 50 feet from my house. I have this device configured as a client to my home wireless network and then running to a small WIFI router in my shop that is in AP mode. Standing in the same room about 20 feet from my home WIFI router it was getting about 75mbps download (2.4ghz band) and with my setup to my shop I get about 60mbps in my shop. So it's a solid connection. Here's the thing that some people MAY be overlooking if they are running a similar setup. I have a 1gbps internet connection. That's NOT the speed I can expect over wireless. If I were to use the 5ghz band I can get decent throughput but I'd have to be pretty close to the home router. Anyway, this CPE says 300mbps throughput in the 2.4 ghz band. IF you were to get that throughput that is ONLY to the CPE, NOT to anything that is using it to access the internet. The catch (for me) was the ethernet port. It's a 10/100mbps so that's where the bottleneck is in my scenario. The fastest I could hope to get is 100mbps. For me, there's nothing wrong with that and it will work great. I'm sure for a lot of people's needs this will work great. I just wanted to put it out there in case people had certain expectations. If ou really need the greater speeds, get the TP-Link CPE710 as it has the 10/100/1000mbps ethernet connection and the ethernet interface won't be the bottleneck any longer. Bottom line: Good, reliable, quality product. 100% recommend!

I got two of these to provide internet connection to my detached garage for security cameras. The distance is at least 200ft and the first 20-30 ft go through the attic of my condo and my neighbor's. The first one is in the attic as an AP (access point) (Ethernet to the router) pointing at the direction of the garage (the condo rules don't allow me to put it outside). Like I said, between my condo and the garage there is another condo. The second unit is also in the garage (cannot have it outside) as a repeater. My phone sees the AP from the condo but the Internet is not usable. If I use the second unit as a repeater, I get a solid 5 to 15 Mbps. Mind you I haven't optimized their placement yet, I just placed them quickly to check the connection. I should be able to raise both units a few more feet and potentially improve the signal/penetration a bit. The RF of the units seem very solid and I love their interface. Many parameters to configure and monitor the connection status. The units support as low as 5MHz BW which can help with very long distances, however, my phone wouldn't connect with anything less than 20 MHz (couldn't see the AP). I guess less than 20MHz can be used when one unit is AP and other one a client. Finally, this setup is less than 1/3 of the cost of another WIFI repeater system by CC Vector, it offers a better interface and actually works. The CC Vector gave me a 25% signal but no usable Internet. Update April 20th, 2019: Before mounting the units higher, occasionally the upload speed from the garage to the condo would be practically unusable. I suspect interference from one of the several other APs in the condo complex (the survey tool picked up 96 APs!). I was able to make the connection more stable by changing the channel, and limiting the max speed and bandwidth (again it is very nice to have these options). After that I got around to mount the units higher which helped to make the signal more stable and I didn't have problems since. In order to be able to use a bandwidth less than 20 Mhz and set the unit in the garage in the client mode, I bought a cheap router (TL-WR940N, about the same price as an AP only) that I connected to the client CPE210. Originally, the router was set as an AP but I ended up using it as a router for utilizing data filtering options that were not available at the AP mode. If I had a line-of-sight I would have used the 5GHz CPE units since the 5Ghz band is less crowded. I am pretty sure the 5Ghz signal wouldn't fair well going through multiple walls and roofs. Still, very pleased and I hope they last a long time.

I loved the price of this TP-Link 2.4GHz N300 Long Range Outdoor CPE for PtP and PtMP Transmission. It also includes the Power Over Ethernet adapter needed. Since most routers don't provide POE, it's a necessary item. It arrived quickly in excellent condition. Installation was easy, but the software setup was difficult. The power cord for the POE adapter is about 12" long. I had to use a power strip to get power to the adapter. The average person would have difficulty getting this CPE to work. They want you to give your computer a static IP of 192.168.0.10 which was difficult for me. When I set that static IP on my computer, I lost internet connection because I get DHCP through my provider and the router is 192.168.50.1. I'm pretty good with computers and software, but I had a lot of trouble with this. I finally got to the Pharos interface, and things were easier after that. The documentation that comes with the CPE and the support on the TP-Link website didn't really help me get it to work. Once set up, I now have my wifi extended a half mile to another residence. This device has many capabilities and functions, and can transmit the signal more than 20 miles line of sight. I would probably buy it again, but I wouldn't want someone to need professional assistance to have it installed and set up.

STRONG signal. It's an antenna, what else can be said? It's a big flaky to get setup, you'll need to have a basic understanding of IP addresses and how to temporarily adjust the adapter in your own computer to get through the initial configuration, but once that's done, it produces a very strong signal. I have both the CPE210 for a specific application, and the TP-Link EAP650 outdoor antenna. Both work very well and both produce robust signals.

جيد جدا يفضل استخدامه لمسافات قريبه والسرعه الفعليه 95 ميقا حد اقصي وبعد المسافه 300 متر

Compre 2 de estos para mandar señal de una casa a otra (Emisor+Receptor) que está a 100 metros de distancia, los configure adecuadamente, y la verdad funciona perfecto, no tengo ningún problema con la señal, es estable y a buena velocidad, los materiales son de excelente calidad, la instalación sencilla, el adaptador PoE es excelente para conectarlo desde dentro de la casa.

ITS WORK VERY GOOOD

Recently expanded the network on a farm to reach all outbuildings and create a wifi/cctv network where there is no phone signal. Excellent devices. The first two purchased have been in place for 18 months wto tith no need to reset and have braved snow and the longest hot summer. Very happy with TP-Link range and would recommend the EAP / CPE range to small business, mid size offices and cafes without hesitation. Awesome value.

Set this up for a neighbor trying to reach their shop about 200 yards away with line of sight. Used with Starlink and a simple TP Link router for the shop (client side), got roughly 90Mbps down 6Mbps up. Easy to set up for anyone that sets up and manages their own home router.
