Build wireless network low

This device is a TL-WA801ND Access Point of the company TP-Link. This allows you to build in principle 300Mbps wireless high-speed networks to the specification N, expand or integrate devices into the network that have an Ethernet fixed connection. The signals can be encrypted with WPA2.

The TL-WA801ND can also be used to reinforce existing WLAN networks (repeater mode) or device without wireless connection via network cable (for TL-WA801ND) to the wireless network to connect (client mode), which, for example, for games consoles recommends.

I have a TL-WA801ND placed behind a network switch of the type TP-Link TL-SG1005D to connect a PC to the Internet, the whole two floors is about. The PC is equipped with a TP-Link TL-WN851N Wireless PCI Adapter (300 Mbps).

Result: The reception is in spite of two concrete slabs still very good, 4 out of 5 bars on the scale. The internet access works fine, the 300Mbps also leave much room for improvement. TP-Link says on the package of 5-fold range. That seems to be not quite out of thin air. ;-)

The device configuration can be done via an Ethernet cable via software or direct access via browser. For this must be changed at the PC before the network configuration on a given in the description of the TL-WA801ND IP address.

My opinion: Bargain, powerful device with excellent coverage. Has many features and is doing what it should. The switching power supply saves up on the older heavyweights quite a bit of power. 5 stars are angmessen at this low price. Why do you want to spend more money ???

Note: This device is not an Internet router, that is, it can not be connected directly in the splitter, the DSL modem or. However, you can use the TL-WA801ND connect to an Ethernet port on your Internet router to build a wireless network. With another TL-WA801ND Access Points (eg TL-WA801NDs on different floors) can be increased according to the manufacturer, the range of W-LANs.
