Reviews around device (5.00 of 5)

  • 1 device works as an access point and has farther range than any WiFi router I've seen
  • If it does not die like, tomorrow, this will be one of the best network WIFI devices I've purchased.
  • I actually love the device, the design the interface - except that it does not actually work
  • Very powerful little device that I would def use again.
  • The device works very well line-of-sight, especially when used without an attached omni-directional antenna

Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • For such a versatile piece of equipment, the price is simply perfect

Reviews around range (4.45 of 5)

  • works very well as my outdoor access point, incredible range , the price is good and its easy to setup
  • I’m sure if you were outside only the range would be amazing on this!
  • it is also highly misleading as it is constrained by the FCC guidelines for how much power it can put out by federal law
  • Great in repeater mode, 14 mile range in point to point (2 units) easy setup, well constructed, flawless performance
  • Works good, doesn't have the range as expected but we live in the mountains.

Reviews around coverage (4.37 of 5)

  • The device offers great directional coverage when used as an outdoor AP
  • over the 100 yard distance from the house deck to the water line we got great coverage.
  • I got good coverage in a wide area with no vegetation blocking the signal
  • Putting that aside, the coverage is pretty amazing, especially considering it hasn't been mounted on the exterior of the building yet
  • it is also highly misleading as it is constrained by the FCC guidelines for how much power it can put out by federal law

Reviews around work (4.16 of 5)

  • This works great! was used to broadcast wifi down to my dad's shop from their house

Reviews around unit (3.99 of 5)

  • Great in repeater mode, 14 mile range in point to point (2 units) easy setup, well constructed, flawless performance
  • This unit solved the problem of low signal in my shop, which is 100 yds away from my house
  • As for the downsides: the firmware lacks a few valuable features such as captive portal functionality and hostname configuration, the wired ports are only 10/100Base-T, and troubleshooting usually boils down to performing a factory reset and trying again

Reviews around performance (3.91 of 5)

  • it is also highly misleading as it is constrained by the FCC guidelines for how much power it can put out by federal law
  • To be fair, I did run about 150 feet of cat-5 to it with the omindirectional setup, but I found it to be pretty poor performance with that setup
  • The performance has been rock solid with one exception and it may have been due to a power blip.
  • Great in repeater mode, 14 mile range in point to point (2 units) easy setup, well constructed, flawless performance
  • Set up is pretty easy and performance has been pretty stable

  • No problems have been noted in maintaining a solid connection
  • I first tried a cheaper extender and it barely works but it loses connection often.
  • Took a little fiddling to get it working and a decent connection.

Reviews around tech support (3.61 of 5)

  • At this time I am not satisfied with TP-LINK's tech support.
  • The signal is sufficient to give me about 30mb/s -- enough to stream HD on Youtube without a problem
  • As for the downsides: the firmware lacks a few valuable features such as captive portal functionality and hostname configuration, the wired ports are only 10/100Base-T, and troubleshooting usually boils down to performing a factory reset and trying again
  • I had to call tech support to help me set it up correctly
  • For over two weeks shows an "authentication error"; the fix was uncheck the "maxstream", then phones and PCs got connected, but signal was very weak and both rokus can't get connected.(tech support told me about turn off Maxstream, but also recommended leave the channel selector on auto).The solution was set it on channel 11, then signal improved and rokus connected.

Reviews around ip (1.85 of 5)

  • The instructions are just okay: I had to figure out for myself how to correctly do the static IP config required for this device's initial setup
  • The firmware is too stupid to set a dynamic IP when plugged in and must be directly accessed the first time around
  • Range isn't as great as I though it would be
  • Directions out of the box were spot on (even pictures of how to set your static ip to do the initial configuration, my mom would have been able to do it!).
  • Setup took about an hour with most of it trying to figure out how to assign a static IP address to my laptop and not including "http://" in front of the IP address
