Review on 📶 TP-Link CPE210 2.4GHz N300 Long Range Outdoor CPE for PtP and PtMP Transmission with 9dBi Antenna, 5km+ Range, Passive PoE Powered, Free PoE Injector, Pharos Control - Point to Point Wireless Bridge by Luca Washington

I bought two 2.4GHz 9dBi antennas. I needed to send high-speed broadband internet to a family member's house that could only receive DSL. I've had them installed for a week now and am very happy with their performance. First, the installation is very easy. However, if you are confused, TP-Link has a great tutorial video on their website and YouTube. The main reason I chose this product over others was a review I read where the user was able to get a great signal in the woods. In my application I'm transmitting a little over 800 feet and mostly through dense forest between our two houses. I can reliably get a 60%-70% signal with zero data rate. Here are my testing and setup procedures for this system. First, I have 1000x40 gigabit internet service over Spectrum. Hard test right after the modem, I really get 860Mbps-900Mbps. I am using a Netgear Nighthawk R9000 router. As for the CPE connection, I don't have an ethernet cable running through my house, so on the send side I connect my router to the access point using a TP-Link AV2000 powerline adapter. They are advertised with a theoretical connection speed of 2000 Mbit/s. Realistically, I'm getting 436Mbps, as you can see in the utility screenshot. In a wired Internet speed test using a PLA connection, I get a download speed of 61 Mbps and an upload speed of 40 Mbps. On the receiving side, the client antenna had an Internet speed test of 61x40. This antenna is connected to another set of powerline adapters. This time I chose TP-Link AV1000 because of the built-in WiFi function. Checking the end speed of the WiFi connection is still 61x34, which impresses me a lot. I understand there is a huge reduction in speed compared to my 900Mbps connection, but what surprises me is that the bottleneck isn't THESE antennas broadcasting through the woods. That's why I give them such an excellent rating. In addition to providing a reliable point-to-point connection, these antennas also provide full signal Wi-Fi coverage of most of my 5 acre backyard. I understand they must be directional antennas, but the signal propagates outwards. I understand that some people don't like the idea of their WiFi signal being in range of their neighbors, but that's why you use a strong password. I personally like being able to connect to the internet with my phone 500 feet from my house.
