Review on πŸ“‘ TRENDnet TEW-455APBO: High Power Outdoor PoE Access Point with 14 dBi Wireless Capability by Prem Reyel

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works in extreme conditions

I bought 2 of these devices to set up WiFi in an apartment building in the mountains (3 floors with 5 apartments). Both units are mounted at opposite ends of the building on the upper floor (3rd floor). Setup was relatively easy (maybe not for a first timer). I had a question on Trendnet once (before purchasing) and their response was quick and helpful. The devices are connected to a DSL modem/router. Since we can only get 7MB of DSL service I have limited the number of access points to 11b. So I can't say anything about higher speeds. So far, all units report good service. In terms of price, these devices are hard to beat. Not as powerful as Cisco units but you can buy 2 (or more) for the same price. Note. The units were installed approximately 5 months ago in a residential home in the mountains of Colorado at approximately 9,000 feet. Blocks are assembled outdoors. The temperature range back then was 85 to -20 F. So far, so good.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
