Review on ๐Ÿ“ถ Renewed TP-LINK CPE510 CPE/Access Point โ€“ Long Range High Power Outdoor 5GHz 300Mbps, 802.11n/a, Dual-Polarized 13dBi Directional Antenna, Passive POE by Wiktor Witold Skow แ Œ

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing ordinary, a normal product.

Not a bad CPE, it works like a clock, if you donโ€™t flatter the admin panel too many times, it can hang. It is strange that with its bipolar antenna it does not give out 100 Mbps. The imaginary MAXtream TDMA for me seemed to be nothing for small distances (you need to test for long distances). It costs more than Mikrotik. I advise those who want to organize a bridge to purchase Mikrotik SXT Lite 5 - it costs less, the bandwidth is higher and the OS is very flexible (albeit complicated).

Pros
  • Point is not bad, cheap replacement for Ubiquiti Nanostation M5 + Easy to set up +two Ethernet ports + Test mode (a la Compliance test) allows you to select any frequency (available on any firmware) + high quality
Cons
  • - Proprietary MAXtream TDMA protocol worse than Airmax -I could not forward the admin panel to the Internet - I just didnโ€™t try it, most likely a glitch in the firmware -Changed the parameters at the access point, the interface hung and it stopped working, I had to climb on the roof to reboot - at a distance of 500 meters I was able to squeeze out only 70 Mbps, which is very small, when compared with the Nanostation M5, it squeezes out 120 Mbps under the same conditions The lid is flimsy and doesn't even close.
