I needed to extend wireless to a shop behind house. I tried ethernet cable but I would have to bury 200feet of it. So I got two of these units. One I mounted on the home tv antenna mast outside, the other on a utility pole at the shop. The one at the house is about 35ft in the air and the one at the shop is about 25ft in the air. You are supposed to mount them at same height, but I thought I would try it anyway. It works wonderfully. Inside the attic I have the power supply. It has two jacks, one for the home LAN, the other jack is POE, or power over ethernet and combines the LAN signal with power for the device. Connected a 50ft cable from the power supply out the attic onto the antenna mast and plugeed into the CPE unit. The unit itself attaches with zip ties and only weighs about 2-3 lbs so not a lot needed. On laptop I set the device to AP mode and gave it the SSID, password I wanted to use. At the shop the same install process and I set the device to client mode , then had it scan for the other device and clicked join. Now all my devices in the shop have a trasnparent link to the home. Before this I tried ddwrt and routers but it is not a transparent link and you get odd things happening like mac address not working correctly. Netflix wouldn't work in the shop because of this double nat, now everything works. The units also can use tplinks maxstream to boost trhoughput. Only downside I can see is that the interface is only 100Mbit. I get 12MBytes/sec over the link so it is using all that 100Mbit can provide. Read full review

Good quality of plastic and finishing. Has many disconnecions, need to be restarted often (used as repeater) 5Km only if you use two of those items P2P. If Your device has regular -20dBm tx power you will get not much more then 100m. There is software restriction on tx power (-11dBm in Europe) It was too good to be true....

The CPE210 works as advertised. I have an RV (travel trailer) about 600ft from our office where the internet router is located. I attached the CPE210 to the network via ethernet cable and configured it using a PC on the local area network. I moved the CPE210 to a window and pointed to the RV poof it works. Before using the CPE210 I could not even see a WiFi signal. With the CPE210 I now get a decent signal in the RV.

Once I learned how to set up the system all is great.. I am using three of these devices to connect three wired LANs together for video surveillance at a farm where using wire would be difficult and would beg to be knocked out by lighting.. This allows the three groups of cameras to be electrically isolated from each other.. One of the three groups, including the NVR is running on 12v battery with a regulated charger so that when the power goes out that portion of the system continues to record..

I have a couple of these to catch faster business internets in my area after hours when they are closed.
