TP-Link CPE710 | 5GHz AC 867Mbps Long Range Gigabit Outdoor CPE for PtP and PtMP Transmission | Point to Point Wireless Bridge | 23dBi | Passive PoE Powered w/Free PoE Injector | Pharos Control

Worked better than hoped. I Purchased 3 of these to replace and old 2.4Ghz Tycon. I am using and a chain of intermediary routers and repeaters. Configured 1 as the AP and attached it to the roof. The was placed on the workshop some 350 feet away. Both directed at each other. I now get full line rate to the internet at some 360MB which is my rate through my provider.My third was placed as a client 450 feet away through some trees at a 110 degree agle from the way the AP is pointing at the Workshop. Slightly behind it to the right. The roof that the AP is mounted on cuts the line of site and the wood sheething under the shingles is foil wrapped. Surprisingly I get 135Mbits to this Client. Using the wavelink High gain routers to reach the old network I was only receiving about 4-5Mbits. Very pleased as this runs wifi for a remote wireless gate and a Wireless Camera.Just ordered a 4th to place in the barn around 275 feet away.Note: When first installed, I had stability issues. It was bouncing connection where the AP would be seen by the client for a bit then it would not. I decided to upgrade the firmware to the latest on the Client. The upload of the binary file completed but it appears I lost connection during the write. to flash. This corrupted the units software. The unit never came back.After investingations and using the third unit I had bought. I found the 100 ft Cat 6 cable was causing issues. Isolated out and put in a new cable and everything came up clean.The problem was the original CPE710 was corrupted during the image upgrade. I located a firmware upgrade procedure on the TPLINK website for the Pharos equipment and was able to do a reflash of the unit with the newest Binary file. It is revived configured and the unit is back working.Suggestion: TPLINK should add the short procedure to relash a unit if corrupted downloads to their manuals.

Works amazing! Been using for 4 months to shoot over wifi to another house, speed is great!

I bought two of these to get a decent network connection to my out-building.My out-building is about 100' away, well within the advertised range of these bridges but there are a few trees in the way and another building well within the Fresnel Zone.Setup was easy, one needs to set one as an access point and the other as a client.Configuration was easy using industry standard terminology. It irritates me when other companies feel the urge to use creative non-standard terminology in what they mistakenly believe will make their products easier to install. Thank You TP-Link for using standard terminology.There is a 23dBi gain on the parabolic antennas to push the serviceable range out to several kilometers.Since I am running them so close, I was able to run the transmit power from 27 dBm down to 15 dBm and still maintain a 50 dB signal to noise ratio.I did not run an Iperf test yet so I'm not sure about the throughput. I do know they are faster than my 100 Mbps rural Internet though. When I get around to running an Iperf I will update this review.Physically they aren't as heavily built as Ubiquiti's bridges, but they are well made and should hold up well.I would buy them again.

The product was received in perfect condition, the configuration process was a little complicated since the manual does not have all the configuration details, using help from YouTube it was possible to complete, and do several tests using the product in different ways as an access point and client + access point and finally as it was intended to be used as an access point and client to install a remote router, it is currently working correctly at its speed of 867mps at 1 km without complaints from customers.

Absolutely terrible reception strength. It can't get a steady connection on an AP even from a few hundred feet away with a direct LoS. My old CPE510 used to connect to the exact same AP from 800ft away pointed through a hill and still pulled down 100mbps. The CPE710 sometimes can connect, but will drop a few seconds later. Tried every network standard available on both client and AP, no improvement. Complete waste of money.

The media could not be loaded. This thing is a beast it’s bigger than I thought but I still really like it.I am able to now work on my PC at the community pool, which is about 300 feet away from my house. I am getting speeds of about 90 Mbita per second which is perfectly good for either streaming or video zoom calls for work.It was really easy to install. You do have to know your way around a bit of wiring for example power over ethernet, but it comes with all the parts you need.It really is quite simple to do. It doesn’t look too bad mounted on the side of the house and I’m really happy with the results.For the price, I think this works really well, I tried other devices, but none were as powerful as this over the distance I needed.I went for the option to have a new SSID, to be honest this doesn’t really matter because your device or laptop will automatically search for the strongest signal anyway, no issues.

It is truly a gem to have! I have tried many products (Amazon can attest to that with all the return devices) and none of them were as easy and TOPS as this BEAUTIFUL device! My barn is 3000ft away and this GORGEOUS device sends the signal WITH CLARITY so I get to listen to Alexa or just relax and watch TV!!!
