TP-Link Wireless N300 2T2R Access Point, 2.4Ghz 300Mbps, 802.11b/g/n, AP/Client/Bridge/Repeater, 2X 4dBi, Passive POE (TL-WA801ND),White

I was having some trouble with a wireless D-link security camera in my detached garage constantly dropping offline as my router is a good distance away. I configured the TL-WA801N in the wireless repeater mode and placed it in a storage shed which is located halfway between my house and garage -- instantly my security camera came back online and has stayed that way with a strong connection. I am not a computer expert so I was a bit confused when I first tried to configure this but a quick phone call to TP-Link support and they patiently walked me through the process which in reality is quite simple to do. This repeater has been working so well in the shed that I just added a second TP-link repeater in my kitchen which has always been a dead zone for my Wifi. The second time I had to configure this repeater it took all of one minute to complete and I am embarrassed when I think back that I even had to call TP-link support for the first router as it is ridiculously simple even for an amateur like me. Someone else has posted a review here with a long list of networking terms that he said you should be familiar with before trying to configure this repeater and that is nonsense - I have no trouble configuring this now without even needing to review the instructions. My Kindle, laptop, and iPhone now have great Wifi reception in the kitchen. Just remember one very important point that I am sure many of the people who posted a review claiming this had poor range, would not connect, or needed to be rebooted often just do not realize...You must manually refresh your Wifi setting on your wireless devices whenever you move to another part of your house as that does not automatically happen even if you are using the same network name and password as I am. This allows your tablet, laptop, or smart phone to find whichever wireless access point is offering the strongest signal in that part of your house and lock onto it. if you don't do this it is possible to be sitting right next to this repeater but your Wifi connection on your laptop or tablet will still be locked onto your original access point or router on the other side of your home. Also, remember that if you set this up too close to another device with a repeater or access point enabled you will get a congestion of radio waves which cause a feedback effect that will knock your devices off the network and require them to be rebooted often. This feedback effect is similar to when you put a microphone too close to your speakers which causes a loop of over-amplification - the same thing can happen with radio waves and causes devices to crash. I have even talked to tech people who were unaware of this problem but I have seen it happen again and again with my own home network that includes several IP security cameras with repeater modes - as soon as I disabled one or two of the repeater modes that were too close to each other, or moved them farther away from each other, the crashes quit happening. UPDATE: I am the type of person who just can't leave things alone even when they are going well so I recently took the TP-link repeater in my kitchen and reconfigured it as a wireless access point and hooked it to a network cable...WOW...As a wireless access point it puts out the same speed as the Gateway router I have it hooked to which is 60 MB per second so obviously this is the best configuration to go with if you don't mind running wires around your place. When the weather gets a bit warmer I plan to run a wire out to my shed and reconfigure the TP-link repeater there to the wireless access point mode and have high speed internet allover my backyard. For the price this is an amazing piece of home-networking hardware. And by the way, if you are having problems with this access point crashing often the fix is simple -- UPDATE TO THE LATEST FIRMWARE at http://www.tp-link.com/lk/products/details/?model=TL-WA801ND#down

New Update 3/10/17: I was having trouble as I described below in my previous update. I was going to return it for a replacement from TP-Link. i called their toll free number, and it turns out I spoke to a very knowledgeable tech ( In China), that the problem I was experiencing can happen if I had my WAP set to a channel that would compete with a neighbors router that was using the same channel. I have an App on my cell phone called WiFi Analyzer from Kevin Yuan (free) that showed me the channels being used nearby in the neighborhood and recommended which channel(s) would be best for me to use on my TP-Link WAP. I did just that and also as the tech recommended, changed the channel width to 20 Mbs and VOILA, no more problems. The only reason I know the tech I was speaking to was in China is because I asked her. She really knows her stuff and was SO polite and willing to help. GREAT tech support from TP-Link! I restored my rating to 5 Stars ================================================================================================= OK, here is an update: It is about 2 1/2 months since I set up and installed this unit. It did work fine for a while, but I noticed a few weeks ago that the signal from this unit keeps dropping out. It is too late to return it to Amazon for a refund (only a 30 day window), so I have to contact the manufacturer and request an RMA repair under warranty. Shipping will most like be at my expense and may not be worth it. I'll see. The TP 801 unit I bought in 2013 is still working fine, so there is something wrong with this one and I downgraded the review to 3 stars from 5 stars. ============================================================================================== I've tried several methods of extending my WIFI coverage in my house from my Netgear WNDR3700 Router which is in a room at one end of my house. WIFI Coverage was spotty when I tried to connect to it more than 25 feet away because of several walls the radio signal seemed to have trouble with. I purchased this item because it is really inexpensive and is flexible in what in can do. I hooked it up with an Ethernet cable and used the POE power injector this unit came with, but before I did that, I used my Laptop to connect to it wirelessly using the default IP address this unit came with: 192.168.0.254 and logged in as instructed in the little quick setup manual that came with it. I made sure it was configured as an Access Point (it was by default) I changed its IP address to be within my networks range and set it up with my WIFI SSID and Pass phrase. I am not an expert on this by any means, but I've been through this when I tried using other devices to accomplish what I needed. This device works perfectly for what I need it for: A wireless access point. I did not try to use it as a repeater or any other of the selections possible to set this unit up as. Bottom line is I found what I need for very cheap. I hope this lasts a long time, and that will make this thing PERFECT. It's only one day so far, lol.

Ótimo produto, atendeu minha necessidade de repetição do sinal com perfeição. Além de ter chegado com rapidez.

This is my two month review- Purchased this as a replacement after my 5 year old tp-link repeater (older model) stopped functioning. I am using this in the repeater/wireless bridge configuration to connect my two offices which are 40 meters apart. I have installed it in one of my offices to connect in total of five PC's wired and wireless Pros- 1. Excellent reception from my Dlink dsl-2750u modem-router. It extends the range of to my Dlink modem-router in one office to the entirety of my second office. 2. File access has improved considerably over my old repeater. Access times are excellent for files from my shared folders. 3. Excellent range despite 3 other offices and 4 walls and not to mention other wireless networks in between my two offices. 4. No connection drops Cons - 1. None so far. It works for my setup so no cons as far I can say. I haven't tried the other modes so can't help out there. Will keep posted in a years time.

Utilisé pour couvrir en Wi-Fi un hôtel en répétant ce produit nous donne pleine et entière satisfaction ! Simple à configurer en mode point d'accès ils sont opérationnels en moins de 5 minutes après avoir été reliés au réseau local.

Funciona muy bien. Lo he probado solo en modo repetidor, pues es el modo que necesito. La cobertura que ofrece es muy amplia. Fácil de configurar. Las instrucciones son claras. En ocasiones el móvil no obtiene la ip. Pero con apagar y encender el aparato, es suficiente. Me ha pasado solo con Mi Xperia Z2. No es nada grave ni tiene importancia. Otro fallo que tiene es la "estabilidad ", pues tiene a irse hacia atrás, por el peso de las antenas, pero es una incidencia poco importante. Y,como siempre, Amazon lo empaqueta a la perfección. Envío rápido. Información continua y con la app para Android te mantiene actualizado en todo momento.
