Review on πŸ“Ά Hawking Tech Hi-Gain Outdoor Wireless-300N Access Point: Multi-Functional Bridge & Repeater (HOWABN1) by Anthony Mayes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works perfectly! for networking products

I have a client who wanted me to install a WiFi signal between their barn and their main home. I have used their HW2R1 Smart Repeaters before and decided to try their outdoor unit. The product is very easy to install. It comes with external mounting brackets for wall or pole mounting. To install PoE I had to buy an ethernet cable (the customer wanted it mounted outside of their house on the 2nd floor). There are multiple modes, access point, bridge, etc., and there's even a universal repeater mode (which may come in handy when I want to build a large network). I used it in hotspot mode because the customer only needs wifi access around their property. The entire setup process took about 15 minutes (most of the time was running cables and installing an access point on the wall). Barn and main house In general I have no complaints.

Pros
  • Convenience
Cons
  • Vulgarity
