Review on πŸ“Ά Renewed TP-LINK CPE510 CPE/Access Point – Long Range High Power Outdoor 5GHz 300Mbps, 802.11n/a, Dual-Polarized 13dBi Directional Antenna, Passive POE by Wiktor Jak ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

I set a window-window in the configuration, behind the glass, the distance is small, 100 meters, minor obstacles, the height from the ground is 5 meters. With a transmitter power of 10 dBi (out of a maximum of 13 available for 2022), I pumped a maximum of 92 Mbps one way by speedtest. net, given that the port is 100 Mbit - the result is excellent. Ping from one point to another 1-2 ms. The Wi-Fi connection was established at a speed of 150-180 Mbps. Of course, in order to be recommended for purchase, the point must work for at least a couple of years. So see for yourself. 12 months warranty -> if it pays off in 12 months, then you can buy it, if it breaks, fix it under warranty.

Pros
  • Performs the declared functions. It seems that there is an alternative OpenWRT firmware, in case of a lack of functions, you can try it, maybe it will work out . The signal strength indicators are located exactly on the side that I needed. Ubiquiti, which he considered as an alternative, has indicators on the back or on the opposite side.
Cons
  • There is no flexible VLAN configuration by ports (or did not figure it out). Given that the piece of iron has two ports, it would be great to separate them, then it would be possible to connect two separate grids with one bridge without the help of routers. No bridge mode, implemented via access point + client.
