TP-Link TL-WA901ND 300Mbps Wireless N Access Point (White/Grey)

Good setup. Do not forget to set a static IP before setup and you should be fine. Took me 40 seconds to set up as AP. Range is fine and no issues with performance.

1)The product delivered box was tampered(not sealed pack)2)poe power injector missing from the box3)quick installation guide missing

I am using this router purely as Access point and performance is not bad

A good router with user friendly setup, only problem I faced was that it did not have the range i expected it to. Using it as an outdoor router the signals would weaken very rapidly after 15-20 meters. Everything else was all cool.

Excellent Product...

Not working repeater mode and rage is very poor....only 30 meter covered and not continued tx data ..brack data and signal...

Excellent for Kids Bicycle.

awesome

I've been using this access point for at least 3 years, so it's about time I reviewed it. I ran a 40 metre ethernet cable from my home broadband hub to a Holiday Cottage in my Garden which I rent out.This lttle Gem gives me a full 5 bar signal at every corner of the 3 bedroom Cottage, I recently switched from vodafone to Sky broadband and added a multiroom Sky Q mini box to the Cottage, I had to connect the ethernet cable I was previously connecting to the TP link access point directly in to the Sky Q mini box to connect to the main box in my house, but as the Q mini box isn't wifi, I now had an issue with getting wifi to the guests, no problem, I attached the broadband cable to a TP Link 5 port dekstop switch attached an ethernet cable to Sky Q mini and another ethernet cable to the access point and hey presto 5 bar wifi signal is back.I highly reccommend this TP-Link access point, I've not had a single problem with it in the 3 years i've owned it. A great buy.

I've purchased two of these units. I live in a large (almost) bungalow, with all of my network gear in the basement areas of the house, so my wifi has a lot of work to do. I had a Virgin Superhub (huge misnomer) installed about a year ago and I struggled to get a good wifi signal in all but a couple of rooms, which lead me to install the first of these TP-Link devices at the other end of the property linked via ethernet. Great coverage inside the house, though it's worth noting that the TP-Link covers about 80% of the house with a decent signal, while the Virgin Supergrub covers only about 40% of the house with a decent signal.Anyhow, at long last the weather has changed and I've returned to sitting out in the garden with a glass of wine and my trusty iPad. Problem is that the TP-Link AP is at the opposite end of the house through several walls and the Supergrub, despite having to penetrate only 1 x 9" wall can't cut the mustard. Enter the 2nd TP-Link AP, now I have great coverage in both house and garden.I've had no issues with the first device, which I purchased some months ago, the second device has installed just as easily and I've had no issues so far, but I'll let you know. A classic case of 'does what it says on the tin'.

I bought this to extend the range of one of our two routers. We have two ISPs currently - and the cost of this router more than offsets the savings in download charges from BT - one of our two ISPs. Coverage is generally good, and we use this with a pair of TP-Link AV powerline adapters to extend the range from the router close to the entry point to our house.It does require a little configuration, and some knowledge of networks and subnetting is helpful. I have changed the IP address and SSID, and also changed the wireless channel to reduce conflicts with neighbours. It seems also to be necessary to ensure that the DNS is set up. Sometimes the settings need to be reset, which can be annoying, but mostly it's fine and reliable enough. It makes sense to write down any settings which work, in case they need to be put back in again.It has better coverage than the earlier TP Link WA701 access point. We have an early version of that one, but it has the merit of being considerably cheaper. This one is good for larger homes, and for us is worth the extra money. It only works in the 2.4GHz bands, so some Mac users might prefer to look for a dual band access point, though they may cost rather more.

Ok so I had had enough of my BT Home Hub3's crappy WiFi. Its insistence on disconnecting every connected device when it changed channel (which was occurring more and more frequently as the airwaves get all the more crowded), and the incredibly slow transfer rate which appeared to degrade over time forcing a manual reset of the hub every few days (much to the family's annoyance)Since I was planning to replace the router at some point with a dedicated device, I wanted to just replace the WiFi right now, hence this purchase.I cannot fault the unit. Not only does it look like its capable of rendering you sterile if you stand too close, but it has the obligatory flashing lights which signal STUFF IS HAPPENING!Features such as an adjustable power level allow you to increase the effective range to the size of the death star and make it far easier to penetrate walls, furniture, small animals, etc, or just to drown out the neighbours WiFi. The 3 antennas give a much more robust signal strength and can be positioned at various angles based on whether the unit is stood on a table top or wall mounted.It has various operating modes which allow for it to act as a repeater to an existing WiFi network to extend the range, as a client to connect a wired only device to an existing wireless network (e.g. smart TV with only an Ethernet port and no wireless), as a basic Access Point (this is how I have it configured), or as a wireless bridge between two networks. It's also capable of broadcasting upto 4 different SSIDs at once for segmenting your wireless network with VLANs (not that I have tried this out yet).On top of these features the pack comes supplied with a PoE converter box should you need to place the unit in a hard to power location (loft for instance) and can only run an Ethernet cable to it.Setup is simple and you'll be up and running in no time at all.

For the first couple of months, this worked really well - provided a good boost of wifi signal for my bedroom which is quite far away from the main modem.It was relatively straight forward to set up.The problem has only arisen recently... It suddenly became an absolute nightmare; for some reason it has started to block almost every single site on the internet and even some desktop applications that use the internet. I have never touched any settings on it so it is definitely something to do with the item itself. It brings up an error saying something along the lines of 'Error cannot open page; too many redirects'. The message changes on various browsers and when trying to open an internet based app it will suggest me to turn my firewall off as it is unable to access the internet.Some sites did work (google for example) however then the links from google would not open and bring this error up. It took me a while to realise it was this item causing the issues; after unplugging it, everything was absolutely fine - signal wasn't as good but I could actually go on the internet.So I left it off for a day, plugged it back in and it worked ok for about 30 mins... then the errors started reappearing.Basically, it's dead.I don't know how I could have avoided this; was kind of expecting it to last longer than it did but hey ho, that's modern technology for you! Not built to last.I'm just going to try and put up with poor signal for the time being, however my advice would be give this a go as for 40 quid it's actually not that bad - and yours may not break as quickly as mine did!
