Well made and just what I was looking for at a great price.
The firmware apparently changed between the time the manual was written and my batch went out, since the manual described a menu similar to the 701N, leading to much confusion as I messed with updating firmware to the latest, scouring the web, and ultimately wasted an hour on hold for support, only to have them read the manual to me
Arrived on time, great product for a good price, is more than just a wireless router
East set-up, rock solid reliability along with a great price!
It's a simple and effective unit, but later I found a cheaper price locally, only pennies difference.

Works great as a bridge - easy to sync up - instructions were very clear.
Works great as an Ethernet bridge to connect a wired device to a wireless router in another room
Did not work in any mode as a bridge, universal or WDS repeater
I was able to set up the TP-Link TL-WA801ND as the main Access Point and the ASUS RT-N66U as the repeater/bridge (yeah sad, I know), but the TL-WA801ND would crashed repeatedly (sometimes several times a day) when in this configuration
Works great as a Bridge and repeater so long as you only have one device behind it

Then, within a few minutes, my wife and daughter both complained the wireless wasn't working
Without going into great detail, I have tried about 5 methods to get this to work, including enabling/disabling DHCP, using a static IP or getting IP from DHCP, setting AP to same SSID/Config, latest firmware, hard resets, nothing works.
i love it i am using it bout 2 blocks way from wifi router as a repeater and works great also as client works good
Never could get it to work over PoE but aside from that works great!
Works better than my netgear this only works in the 2.4Ghz which is good, because the 5GHz is mostly useless unless your sitting next to your wireless router or access point, 5GHZ is very short

This product has a simple and understandable interface, and works as advertised.

I'm very familiar using these types of access points for remote monitoring of our power equipment, as they do fail after a time and need replacing
Other than forcing a messy installation, the product is working as advertised.
However, after you get past that little issue, the AP works as advertised and has all the features you would expect.

great value, lots of built in functions, repeater, etc, difficult to find in other routers without hacking
My TP-LINK Access Point allows me the use of Netflix and other applications on my tv without any disruptions, as well as internet service to my PC and my tablets; it works as I had hoped
worked great excelent value for a great productthe ip address to access the settings is 192.168.0.254 upon initial powerup

The DHCP function on this WAP does not work as it should, at least IMO.

I finally decided to "do it right" and bought this product for use as a wireless access point, with a good hardwired router / firewall to manage the front-end network security.
Even my cheap Netgear router the ability to act as an access point without the need for DHCP.Next
Or the second router will simply lose the network and need to be restarted.
The router is also fast, so far I have only tested Comcast
After countless hours on with tech support both this and the router are failures

It's mind-boggling to me why TP-Link would continue to ship this product with clearly (in my opinion) defective firmware, when a freeware firmware exists that allows the product to do what it's advertised to do
I have tried everything but this thing refuses to play nice with my existing TP-Link router (TL-WR1043ND R)
Finally, after chasing many dead ends, I tried downgrading the firmware on the TP-LINK (to version "3.13.30 Build 130121 Rel.69318n", available on the TP-LINK site).
I have tried everything but this thing refuses to play nice with my existing TP-Link router (TL-WR1043ND R)
I downloaded the previous firmware, 130121 published 1/21/2013, and downgraded the firmware on the access point.

After a couple of hours trying every combination as a simple access point wired into a switch (dynamic address, static IP address, DHCP service enabled or not, etc.), I gave up on the TL-WA801ND and returned it to Amazon.

Doesn't support NAT (to split one IP address into multiple addresses), which basically means that if multiple devices are connected, only one of them can access the internet, for at least some of the internet providers (mine is Charter)

The combination units resulted in low signal strength, dropped connections, unusual routing problems or throttling on particular protocols, or whatever else.
It is well worth the cost and was an easy fix for an annoying problem.
great no problem
I would not recommend it for anything larger than a 10-person office or installations requiring more than a couple, because these freezes would become a problem after a while.
I needed something to solve an odd problem and this did the trick

Our devices would stay connected to the AP but the AP would loose internet connectivity
It would seem that occasionally this access point would loose its connectivity to the primary router in the room below where this access point was located

To be fair; I can't rule out the primary router as the issue or the electronics in the house as the culprit causing the intermittent connectivity issues

I bought this TP-LINK and hard wired it with a cable running outside to the other end of the house for an access point.
Both died within days with the same symptoms; would stop communicating by hard wire as wireless would work
Great if you have an existing hard wire network that you want to add wireless to (currently have a 100' ethernet run to a switch that this is plugged into) because it is

It is hard wired to my main router which is the source for my wireless internet in the house

A hard reset fixed the issue, but it had the issue every time.

If you happen to mess up, like I did, do a hard reset by holding the reset button for 10 seconds
but I'm not going to bother trying that because who wants a device that you have to hard reset and set up every two weeks

Comes with the POE adapter, so you can place in the optimal spot.
Now I have full coverage without any dead spots from end to end of my house
I plan on putting extenders throughout the rest of the house to pick up dead spots
I had a dead spot in my house that a WiFi extender would not work and I tried several.
My guess is that the AP and the wireless router used the same radio/antenna combination because even though the AP was placed in a better spot due to it using POE the coverage wasn't great, I had signal strength issues and signal quality issues every where

The one thing you should always do with a access point is give it a static ip address if you don't you could have problems
:Now punch into your browser the AP's current DHCP static IP address, it should bring you into the TP-Link config page
Tried the smart dhcp and static selected ip and no difference
