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.

I was confused to as which product to get for connecting my home and the office. After some research, I zeroed down on this product. The product came in with nice packaging and was new. I bought.2 N300 5GHz version, one for office and one for home. The distance between the two stations is 600m, and it shows full signal. The transmission speed is great, however, do note that the setup can be a bit complex, I had to tinker around in my (router, not CPE) settings for a few weeks to get it right. Now its working flawlessly.A few important pointers.1) Even though the maximum power on the label is 13 dbi, there is a work around to get it upto 25dbi, Just change your region to USA, and then back to India.2) The CPE ONLY supports 5GHz antennas, so incase you are buying only one, make sure the other CPE is 5GHz too. I repeat., There is no 2Ghz option.3) In case you are a beginner, Like I was, make sure to setup the routers connecting to CPE properly. Use Access point mode and give them a static IP. Can't stress this enough.4)The speed is incredible, I have a fiber connection at office and wanted to bring it at home. I always get 90-100mbps of download speed.5) Get a GST inovice, that will save you taxes.I am willing to help out if you have a dire problem and cant figure it out, I can be reached out at [email protected]: It has stopped working lately. I tried all the basic troubleshooting steps, didn't work so for. I have contacted TP link support, will update here.UPDATE 2: Essentially after calling 10s of times, everytime they promise a callback and never do.

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

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...

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
