Review on ๐Ÿ“ถ Hawking Tech Hi-Gain Outdoor Wireless-300N Access Point: Multi-Functional Bridge & Repeater (HOWABN1) by Jeffrey Nunes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The radio seems really good and it was able to repeat one of ours.

Works as advertised. The radio seems really good, and it was able to broadcast one of our office's wireless networks across the parking lot to the other side, and here and there where needed. Parking 4 rows, +2 row for entry/exit. There is one part of this setup that I give 1 or 2 stars for and that is the POE adapter. While the device itself is ideal for outdoor use and has survived a few rain showers at its current location, the POE adapter is clearly not designed for outdoor use. So far, wrapping it with tape around the pole that the repeater is mounted on seems to work. I think it's best if you already have the POE connector exposed where you will be using it. Otherwise you'll need to use an adapter and I know it won't last as long as the device itself.
