Review on Renewed TP-Link TL-WA901ND Wireless N450 Access Point, ๐Ÿ” 2.4Ghz 450Mbps, 802.11b/g/n, AP/Client/Bridge/Repeater, 3x 5dBi Antennas, Passive POE (TL-WA901ND) by Mateusz Biakowski แ Œ

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expectations were not met, average quality.

If it weren't for freezing, it would be an excellent access point. If you want to power it via PoE - the more there is an injector in the box (it seems to be 30 meters) . You can hang it anywhere, and stretch only a twisted pair there. In my case, it turned out to be very helpful. I hung it in the workshop under the ceiling - where the sockets are 220 and cannot be close. Setup for all options is described in the instructions. You can configure it as an access point, as a bridge and as a repeater. But stable freezes spoil all this beauty. The site hangs firmware from 03202222. I have hardware revision 2, I read somewhere that revision 3 solved the problem. It's hard to say about distance. I have it hanging in the center of a warehouse measuring 45x25 meters (i. E., the maximum radius is 21 m), and inside the connection breaks in some places. Of course, somewhere there are concrete walls (part of the warehouse is divided into rooms), products are displayed on the shelves, but still the maximum distance is only 21-23 meters . As you leave the warehouse (distance 15-20 m), then immediately after you no longer need to breathe like a wall, do not move, etc. Maybe in an open area the range will be normal. Only our people in the field do not work with WiFi.

Pros
  • There is PoE, and a PoE injector comes immediately in the kit (an injector is a device for transmitting power over a LAN cable, literally, PoE = Power over Ethernet). The web interface of the device is in 2022, and there is a 2022 help on every page. True, not everything will be clear to mere meters even with this 2022 help.
Cons
  • Hangs steadily. About a couple of times a month. You have to turn it off and on. Those. should not be put in positions of responsibility.
