Excellent WiFi coverage with 4 antennas. I was facing issue for not getting signal after a wall. This AP solves the problem. Ordering again today.

very nice product i used it as a range extender to boost my wifi signal working very good

Open the box. 10 minutes all done. Super easy. Well done also to whom wrote the quick manual. Performace as stated in the description

Working well so far. Connection stays stable and strong

This product is very good for extending the WiFi power

توزيعه للشبكة ممتاز قوي وسهل في الإعداد وحتى الآن مفيش تقطيع بالشبكة

إشتريته من يومان فقط . سوفت وير منتهى الغباء . سوفت وير ليس به اداه تحكم نهائيا . لا انصح به

Werkt heel goed

I like this Access Point, it looks like a little alien space ship on top of my DVD tower. I have installed 3x APs in the past and a couple of them were very frustrating to setup. The most annoying requirement was to use an unusual I/P address e.g. 192.168.2.2 This requires re configuring your laptop/PC to match this unusual I/P. With this AP there are no such horrors, you can access the setup page from a PC using Ethernet or WiFi using a laptop or smart phone. it uses the addressing format used by most homes i.e. 192.168.0.XXX The ID and password are on the bottom of the device. Mine I/P was 192.168.0.160 Change these to suit but make sure you write the new details down. You need 2x sets of passwords 1. A user name and password to get back into the setup page. 2. An SSID and a password to enable encryption. The setup menu was very easy to use and worked without any issues. As well as SSID and password you can also select the channel to use for WiFi to avoid conflict with the router WiFi 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz can be separated and given unique SSIDs if necessary. There is also an option for a "Guest SSID" If you do forget the new passwords, reset with the button on the back and start again. Once set up connect the AP to the router via Ethernet cable and you are ready to go. The listing says that the AP supports passive PoE which I've never used and wasn't too worried about. I was pleasantly surprised to find that a tiny PoE injector was included. An Ethernet cable contains 8 wires forming 4x sets of twisted pairs. These are used to send and receive data simultaneously but not all of them are used. PoE sends power to the AP along 2 of the unused wires. This gives you 2 options. Plug the supplied PSU into the AP, the usual method. Plug the PSU into the small PoE adapter. Plug the Ethernet to Router cable into the socket marked "LAN" (Local Area Network) Then plug an Ethernet cable into the adapter socket marked PoE, the other end going into the AP. This made it very easy to mount my AP in the sky on top of a DVD tower with just one Ethernet cable. The supplied PSU lead was not long enough to reach that far. Very pleased with this Access Point 11/7/26 Update I use Powerline adapters to connect to this AP and out to my shed where another wireless AP manages 6-8 IP cameras. I also had temporarily 4 cameras connecting to this AP. I started to "loose" a camera but only when I was using my phone. Google search came up with some suggested changes to the AP settings. I did some changes to the AP settings as suggested by the AI. I normally access APs using my PC. After making some changes I was suddenly unable to access the AP anymore and left it for another day. A day or so later I realised that my phone had stopped connecting to the AP but rather oddly some cameras were still worked fine. I could not connect to the AP via ethernet using a PC, I tried 2 of them. I reset the AP 2 or 3 times no response. I then tried to connect using WiFi and it connected. What seems to have happened is the AP had got locked up mid change to the settings. I had an "allow items" list that contained a few things like my cameras but not the phone. The IP had been reset to none. I made the necessary changes to settings and now all works as it should. Very strange that the Reset button did not work. If you find yourself locked out via PC and Ethernet, try accessing by Wifi It uses the SSID to connect so no IP is not a problem to the AP.

Excellent item delivered very quickly. Very easy to set up.

TL;dr -- this AP is another case of good hardware, awful firmware. The OEM firmware makes this device unusable, but flashing OpenWRT makes it useful again. Full Review: I bought this access point to use as a wireless client bridge for a computer in my house that gets an extremely poor wireless signal. Initially, I was disappointed because I was limited to a 2.4GHz connection, as the 5GHz connection was too unstable to be used. I'd regularly run into issues watching YouTube videos, browsing the web, or making Zoom calls. The solution was to use the 2.4GHz radio instead. This meant that my connection was limited to ~45-60mbps, which pales in comparison to a typical 5GHz connection speed of ~250-300mbps. For reference, my iPhone 11 is able to pull ~560-620mbps when placed next to the hardwired access point. i initially considered returning the AP, but then I found someone online had ported OpenWRT to this access point. Although this may void the warranty, it solved my issue. No longer do I have stability issues with the 5GHz radio, which means that I have both a reliable and fast connection to the Internet again my home office. OpenWRT is great, although it's far more complicated of an interface than the default TP-Link one. I would not recommend using this device in this configuration unless you're familiar with more advanced networking concepts or are willing to learn. Pros: - Inexpensive - Supports wireless client bridge mode. - Supports PoE using the provided injector. This is extremely beneficial to my setup, since I can place the AP where I best receive a signal, even though I don't have a power outlet nearby. - The Qualcomm Atheros QCA9886 802.11acn wireless radio has excellent performance - Gigabit LAN port (to the reviewer claiming it doesn't have one, this is simply not the case; there's no way I'd be able to pull 300mbps if it had a 10/100 interface). - The default firmware supports bridge mode with DHCP & NAT disabled, which means that every device connected through this AP has its real Ethernet MAC address exposed. If you plan to use this on a college campus or want your connected device(s) to be bridged to the parent network, this is very useful. If you use this mode, you can still control the AP's settings using the assign IP address for the access point itself. Cons: - Default firmware means that the 5GHz radio is unstable. I also had problems with controlling the LEDs and updating settings. Bonus Pro-tip: I only used this device with one computer, but you could easily use an Ethernet switch with the single port on the back of this device to connect multiple computers/devices.

Good Quality!
