Works well, easy to install. It is connected a bit over 200' away and I speedtest 90Mbps, which is plenty good for what I need for my workshop. We sill see how it holds up this summer in the Texas heat. Fingers crossed.

Ok, I was freaking out at first and was getting rather frustrated because the darn antenna would not power on. I checked other PoE devices and they all worked. I reached out to tech support and when I went back to check on things, the antenna had powered up and came online. I guess I simply wasn't waiting long enough. It was easily 5 minutes on my first attempts, but it was over 7 minutes when it finally worked.So at least on the first boot up, be patient. It will come online if you just leave it be.Router to the included PoE injector (because it has special power needs it can't be driven by a PoE switch). Then the PoE injector to the antenna. It is that simple.We are able to send text and pictures from well over 250 feet away. After that it gets to be hit or miss. But it will grab a connection here and there from almost 400 feet away and any pending WhatsApp or Messenger messages will go at that time.All in all, very happy.

Ran it 300 ft. out and through the woods of my back yard.Works great!I have a tiny camp out in the woods. The cabin is only about 50 ft. from the antenna.So far I have my phone, a tablet, and a Roku hooked up to it! All work great with a strong 2.4 GHz signal! I have full bars on all those devices. Looking forward to hooking up a camera to it as well!Easy plug and play from a TP-Link 8 port switch. The switch is also ran through a 100 ft. CAT6 cable, from the main router in the house!Highly recommended if you want wifi anywhere you need it!

Ya a estas alturas con la evolución de las redes inalámbricas no es lo mejor, pero cumple con lo necesario al tener dos redes (2.4 y 5) claro que el precio es lo que lo hace atractivo de lo contrario con wifi 6, 6e o 7, sería mucho más elevado su costo. La distancia que abarca no es muy amplia pero si es mayor a la de un router. Su configuración el fácil y soporta bastante bien el sol y lluvia al dejarlo a la intemperie.

This is not a router, there is no DHCP server on this item. You need to connect it to a router for a network client to work properly. The WIFI relay component works great. I use the relay to control a raspberry pi robot/rover running outside my home from the 2nd floor of my house and I could get easily get 50 Meter of range for video, telemetry, video and control channels. This is a bandwidth intensive application. You can probably reach 100 Meter range for regular web surfing without obstruction. The Instructions are clear and the network setup is quite easy. All the physical hardware is functional and well built. Good product. As usual TP-Link provides good stuff a reasonable price. Thanks

Really good low cost AP that supports VLANs.Haven't done extensive testing of signal strength or speed, but my IP cam on the porch connected with decent signal and speed.I am not using their controller or Omada software - web configuration only.Tried installing the software, and all I get were endless errors about ports being closed - on the same subnet, and temporarily turned off the firewall on my desktop, but didn't help. Still wouldn't connect, so one star off for that and the needless complexity of using a Management VLAN, and possible log in issues.One word of caution: If you enable Management VLAN (I use VLAN 10), then it will *only* connect on the same subnet (e.g. mine is 192.168.10.x), you cannot access from another subnet no matter what rules you have set up in your router, unless you also check "Layer-3 Accessibility" under Web Server, *plus* you also must check "Layer-3 Accessibility" under SSH Server (but not SSH Login, unless you want that), if you want to connect to the web configuration using HTTPS. All seems very obvious once I found those settings, but it took me way too much time to figure out, assumed it was a firewall setting in my router that was allowing me to ping the EAP245 from other subnets, but not allowing me to connect to it over either HTTP or HTTPS. None of my other equipment - Ubiquiti, Engenius, Netgear - had this issue when I moved them to my management VLAN, so one star off for this needless complexity, with settings scattered over three locations, and *zero* documentation either on the web configuration screens or the user guide for setting this up. A simple two sentence caution on the Management VLAN screen would have been sufficient - or, here's a crazy idea: Why not put the settings there? Last time I checked, there's no law that says you can't duplicate the same settings in several places, so you have all the settings that logically go together for the same function grouped together, so you don't have to hunt all over the UI for a setting on a different page that might be affecting what you're trying to enable.Also, when I log in with HTTPS using Firefox, it keeps wanting to know if I want to save my password (it's already saved), but it shows the password as a string of numbers, not the actual password, so I have to wonder if HTTPS is actually implemented correctly on the EAP245, because it sure seems like maybe it's taking my password and using it to generate a key that it then sends in plaintext across the network. Again, none of my other network equipment generate this weird behavior with HTTPS log ins.Overall, a great value home / SOHO AP that supports VLANs, but one star off. Management VLAN works great across subnets once you enable L3 access. HTTPS, I'm not so sure.

I purchased two of these. I tried installing one in my new pre-wired smart home. I followed the simple set-up instructions -- all THREE versions of ways to set up the item, but nothing worked. I searched online and tried other setup instructions including the last-ditch-effort-this-one-always-works that required me to change the IP address on my computer and wire the AP directly to the computer and ... still nothing (and yes, I used the PoE Injector, so it was powered)! I contacted the support agent, and he talked me through the same steps and to humor him, I did them although I knew in advance the outcome, and once again, NOTHING! He began the process of exchanging it, but apparently that will take a while. He suggested I try the other unit, although I was skeptical and didn't want to open the box. I'm glad I did. I worked exactly like it was supposed to. I set it up in less than 5 minutes, and I LOVE it. It's as fast and simple as the packaging says!Now back to the broken one ... I decided it would be faster to exchange the broken item with Amazon rather than wait for TP-Link to go through all the steps they require to exchange it. I got the replacement in 4 days. Yay! But, when I opened it to install it ... same problems as the first one! DOA! So, back it goes to Amazon, and I will wait for TP-Link to make the first one right with an exchange.Long story made short, the one out of three that really worked is pretty great. But with two of the three I received being outright failures, I simply cannot endorse this product even as easy, blazing fast, and affordably priced the one working model actually was! By the way, I'm no computer genius, but I do hold a Master's Degree in Management Information Systems and a couple certifications in network security, so trust me, I shouldn't have had this much trouble installing these Access Points! I am very disappointed. I suspect you may be too. But on the possible chance you get one of the working ones, it may be worth the try .. if you have the time and the patience.
