TP‑Link CPE710 Outdoor CPE, 5GHz AC 867Mbps Wireless CPE, 23dBi Directional Antenna, Weatherproof IP65, Passive PoE, Pharos Control Management, Long-Range Outdoor Wi-Fi Networking

I used to use CPE510 devices for remote links but they are only 100Mb devices. These are the big brothers of these with 1Gb capability. If you already use CPE510s, these can operate together. Oh, the CPE710 is also cheaper too.

I upgraded from two CPE510 to two CPE710 a year or so ago as I needed faster ethernet ports. I've seen lots of reviews saying that they are difficult to assemble, difficult to configure and that the interface looks like something out of the1990s. The clue is in the name... "CPE" stands for "Customer Premises Equipment" - they are primary designed for network professionals to install and set up. It's not a basic plug-and-play bit of kit, like a range extender. And they are NOT designed to be used as outdoor access points - they are not great for that and Tp-link do not recommend them to be used as such in their documentation. Used in pairs to bridge one network segment to another they work amazing well. Mine beam over 600m, connecting two Cisco switches with negligible drop in speed, serving my office with 3 PCs, laser printer, CCTV, a Cisco access point, Raspberry Pi, weather station and goodness knows what else. RTFM and do some WiFi 101 research and you should be good to go.

As with many pro level network things, consumer level set up has been forgotten. so you will need to do the whole IP address set up thing and in todays world TP-Link that's really a dumb move, it should have some kind of network negotiation built in so that you can make the initial set up easier, so for this reason I've scored it down.This being said I'm using it as a long range access point to some battery operated cameras and result to date have been solid. its running on its minimal power settings and once configured seems to do its thing without issue.

I bought 2 of these to send gigabit broadband to my garden shed, approx 20mtrs. Pretty easy to set up but doesn't come with mounting poles. I referred to some pretty good tutorials on YT but pretty easy to sort. Set one as transmit and one as receive and hey prestro. 800mbps in my garden shed.Good value for money, easy to assemble, very fast Internet.

Bought 3 of these TP Link devices as we now have a 1gbps internet connection to our property…. We mostly get ~940mbps on ethernet both down and up. You can see in the pictures I’ve attached the speedtest and this doesn’t even reach the rated 876mbps these devices claim to handle up to 38km, we’re more 0.6km away for these devices. We have one main one at the business (internet fibre supply goes here), we then have this wireless device sending as an access point to the house and venue (client mode).I was expecting at this distance to get much closer to the 867 speeds. I have checked the signal strength and made sure these devices line up as perfectly as possible. The speedtest was done via my macbook by directly plugging it in via ethernet to the TP Link device. I always use CAT 7 cable too (re-done our whole office with CAT 7 as we have a local 10G network).

They work fine, but are an absolute nightmare to put together. The metal clips that hold the plastic middle together are not the right shape so you can not secure the thing properly. 2 of them took over an hour to make and required the use of a hammer. Then I had to screw one of the sides on as it's mounting knobs fell off.If I did not have a customer in an emergency I would have sent them back.Would have been 5 stars not 1 if they had been manufactured correctly.

I brought this to connect two houses together on the same farm. It works very well, very little loss of internet speed between the two. Even handles sharing a Sky Q box from the main house to a mini in the next with no lost of quality at all. It connects just like it was close by. Highly recomended for properties like farms where normal wifi signals suffer more.

Satellite Wi-fi is the best booster ever, my official on the back of the garden 100 feet long and before this has so many issues with a basic extender. Now I can watch 4K HD TV and no issue on Teams either losing connections. Definitely worth buying and easy to install
