Excellent item delivered very quickly. Very easy to set up.
Proprio quello che cercavo, funziona molto bene, ha fatto gli aggiornamenti firmware appena collegato, supporta il multi ssid sia a 2,4 che a 5 ghz tramite vlan, ottimo per la sicurezza, unica pecca forse è che non si può impostare indirizzo ip statico. Soddisfatto
i've had 4 of these now. they are really easy to setup and they are very stable. i have one of their "big brothers" the higher priced one TP-Link TL-WA3001 and that thing drops connection constantly and slows down my internal lan. i've had 2 of those now. both are junk. my house is not wired for internet connectivity throughout. it is wifi only here. but a lot of my devices require to be plugged into a lan cable. so i have this configured as an ethernet bridge. wifi in, ethernet out. i set mine to auto reboot every morning. i configured connection watchdog so it will auto reboot if it loses connectivity to the outside world for 10 mins.
Works great. Easy to set up. Good range. Good price. Purchased to work with my new sprinkler controller that only works with 2.4 wireless Wi-Fi. I recommend as a baseline 2.4 wireless access point.
If your home has ethernet in it (or MOCA), don't bother with mesh wi-fi. Instead, get an access point like this one, and set it up in a dead zone, or a place where your wi-fi signal is weak, AND where you have an ethernet wire that runs back to your primary router/gateway. (Often called "wired backhaul").The instructions are unclear and missing a few steps. I followed them precisely but it wasn't setting up, so I took matters into my own hands. Here's how I did it, if you are trying to set this up in ACCESS POINT MODE (which they claim is the default mode):1. Plug the provided ethernet chord DIRECTLY into a PC that's already on your network (wired or wi-fi, doesn't matter), and plug the other end into the access point.2. Plug in the access point's power, and wait a minute or two for the lights on the front to light up and stay on.3. Go to your computer and log in to your EXISTING router/gateway (NOT the access point), and in there, you should see some sort of "discovery" or "show all devices on network" button somewhere. Every router/gateway is different, so that's about as specific as I can be.4. Once all connected devices are showing, you should see a new device, this access point - you can recognize it by its MAC address (12 characters, without the dashes or colons), listed on the decal on the bottom of the access point. Get the access point's IP address (usually starts with 192.168 or 10.0.0 depending on what type of network protocol you're running) and write it down. While you're in there, you can reserve an IP address for your access point so it never changes again if you want to, but I don't think it's necessary or anything. (I reserve IP address to anything I can log into, like this access point, but that's a personal preference).5. Next, log out of your existing router/gateway, and in Chrome (Edge didn't work for me, but Chrome did), type in the address you wrote above, and hit Enter. It should load a generic splash screen about logging into the access point, showing a field for a username, and a password. On the bottom of the gateway is a decal with the user name (usually "admin") and password to log into it. (I always take a picture of these labels with my phone in case I ever need them again).6. Once you're in, change the password and/or user ID so it's not the default, for security purposes. From here, what I did was I changed the default SSID and password to match my gateway (and the rest of my network), so that when the access point is set up, it matches. This way, your devices can roam about your house and will choose this access point if it's the strongest one, and if you roam back to where your gateway/router is strongest, it will hop off of the access point and join up with that one, all seamlessly in the background. You can still use different SSID and passwords on the access point if you want, but I find the "hop" between access points is faster if they all have the same SSID and password.7. Save everything and log out of the access point, unplug it, take out the ethernet cable, and now to go the ethernet jack where you want your access point set up permanently. Plug the access point into the ethernet jack and plug in the power brick and then test using a smartphone (I like the Android app "Wi-fi Man") that the access point is on and giving a signal. Mine worked on the first try.FYI, this thing also works with a MOCA setup (in case you can't run ethernet in your house, you can instead use existing cable coax as a "network"), but setting that up is its own set of instructions not relevant here.Hope this helps.
This piece is the BOMB !! TP-Link TL-WA-1201 I had let two different 'range extender' pieces drive me nuts, their software was hard to use, but once figured out it still didn't work, signal was lame and choppy. So drilled into web and learned superiority of Access Point. Thought I'd try a base monel to learn on. Trust me, TP-Link really knows what they're doing. Instructions were clear, everything I was sent to look for was there, the steps made sense, their website fed back reliably, and within a couple hours IT WORKED! And it waxs LOUD! Signal next to it 76%, outdoors 30-ft from unit is still 65%. Amazing, Software is brilliant, now that I did one, doing the next will take about ten minutes, it's a breeze to work with. BUY THIS, even if you don't need it. Yet. You will, it's a spoiler.
This is a great little unit — reliable, easy to set up, and performs well as a WiFi access point. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 due to one design limitation: although it supports passive PoE, it doesn’t work directly with a standard PoE switch. Instead, it requires its own included adapter, which you have to insert inline with the Ethernet cable and power separately using a dedicated power supply. That means two outlets are needed — one for the switch and one for the adapter — which adds a bit of clutter and complexity to the setup.Aside from that, it’s a solid performer and a good value for the price. Just be aware of the power setup if you're expecting true plug-and-play PoE.
a much cheaper product wr840n does a better job, same transmit power with additional AP capabilities, DHCP etc, just install it in a weather proof box and it becomes OUTDOOR
Werkt heel goed
J'ai acheté ce répétiteur pour avec la wifi en extérieur et également pour des caméras de surveillance extérieure.J'en suis très satisfait.
