I bought one of these for the opposite end of my ranch-style house, since my router's wifi was weak at that distance. I like that it's POE, so I only had to run a CAT5e cable to it and hook it to my POE switch (although it comes with its own POE power injector which is a nice bonus). The setup was fairly straight forward using the app to get it set up initially, and later using the built-in web admin page through a browser for additional changes. It puts out a decent signal, but I was a bit disappointed in that it didn't quite make it from its location to my office, which is on the same level, but about 50 feet away with about 3 hollow (stud/drywall) walls between. My office seems to be somewhat of a dead zone in the house due to its layout, so I ended up buying another for near my office, creating a triangle around the perimeter of the house with my router and the two APs. When you're within 20-30 feet of the AP and no walls, it works very well and signal is quite strong. In my tests, it provided full throughput for my internet service, just make sure you connect it to a gigabit router and/or POE switch or it will only operate at the speed of the slowest link. My existing POE switch was only 100 mbps (for security cameras), so the switch was limited to that throughput, so I added a gigabit POE switch and connected the APs to that instead and they now show full throughput on internet speed tests. One feature I really liked was the ability to add additional SSIDs. During initial setup it asks for your 2.4GHz and 5GHz passwords, but I also have a 2.4GHz and 5GHz guest networks on my router. After the initial setup, I went into the browser interface and found a small "add" (+) button near the list of SSIDs and I was able to add the guest network SSIDs for each frequency. I was also able to select them as "Guest" networks in the AP configuration pages. I duplicated the SSIDs from my router and there doesn't seem to be any conflicts. Wirelress devices just seem to pick up their connection from the closest AP or the router depending on where they are in the house, which is how I hoped it would work. For installation, the mounting plate attaches to the ceiling, then you "twist" the device into to three "tabs" until it lock in place. This part was a bit tricky as the tabs seemed tight. Getting it to twist into the tabs is difficult to align as you place the AP over the bracket, and I really had to push the AP up and rotate it hard to get it to snap into the bracket. The "snapping" process on one of them took a lot of force and I thought I broke it when it finally locked in, but it was fine. It has a tab you can insert a paper clip into to release it from the bracket for removal. I think the mounting plate design could use a bit of a rework given my experience, but it's certainly not a reason to pass this by. Another inconvenience was the fact that updating the firmware causes all your settings to be lost. This happened with both devices. I hope future updates don't require a full reconfiguration of the device each time. I'm looking forward to great wifi throughout my house now. So far, the devices that were previously located in a "dead" or "weak" spot (for example, streaming boxes that could only able to get 1-3 mbps) now get 90+ mbps so it definitely solved those issues. Just be aware that depending on the size and layout of your home, you may need more than one. I didn't want this to be visible in the center of my living room ceiling (which is the center of my home), so I had to install them in hallways which are more on the perimeter of the home, thus needing more than one to get full coverage. For the price, this was an excellent choice for our home and I highly recommend it.

Shortly after setting up our WiFi in our new home, it became obvious that having our WiFi router in the basement where the cable modem is located wasn't going to cut it. The cement walls absorbed much of the WiFi signal and, even in our small home with a 40'x28' footprint, we had dead spots. I needed to move our WiFi access to the attic. I bought two TP-Link Omada access points, this Omada AC1350 dual-band router for my wife's and my phones, tablets, and laptops, plus an Omada N300 unit to support our Internet of Things (IoT) and guest WiFi users. Both units are powered by Power-over-Ethernet adapters in the basement connected to a new, Mikrotik hEX small-business router. Using a separate router allows me to segregate our guest users and IoT devices (smart home stuff, Kindles, Alexa speakers, and so on) onto their own, less-secure network and put our private computing resources where our financial and personal data resides. (Note: Our streaming devices, Roku TVs and the like, are connected to the same logical network as our IoT stuff, but have wired connections.) Both Omada access points have been champs. Located in our attic, they were easy to set up as stand-alone access points using TP-Link's Android app, and both provide a strong signal everywhere in our 3-level (basement, main level, and attic) home with an 1100 square foot footprint that extends into our front and back yard. We no longer have dead zones. (Yay!) I only ran into one problem with the Omada AC1350. It was a funny, if embarrassing, problem! The Omada N300 and AC1350 access points are slightly different sizes but have very similar-looking wall/ceiling mounting plates. I spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to figure out why the AC1350 wasn't connecting to its mounting plate before it dawned on me I was trying to hang it on the N300's base! Since then, everything has worked flawlessly, and I can recommend either solution. Pros for the TP-Link Omada AC1350 Access point: * Low cost. * Strong signal. * Plenty of bandwidth for most home users. Can easily support one to two dozen devices. * Very easy to configure as a stand-alone unit with TP-Link's Android app. (The IoS app is probably about the same.) * Comes with a Power-over-Ethernet injector. * Supports mesh WiFi if you add additional access points and a mesh controller. * Reasonably unobtrusive, about twice the size of a smoke detector. * The power indicator light can be turned off in software. Cons: * Great for home use, but probably underpowered for a business environment. I'd move up to an AC1750 access point for office use.

This items gives a good Wi-Fi signal up to 150 meters. It is very easy to install and set up.

On m'avais dit qu'il s'intégrait dans un réseau mesh. On avait oublié de préciser qu'il fallait un PC pour utiliser la fonction mesh. Donc avec mon Mac, je n'obtiens pas tout son potentiel. Très bonne antenne. Prix un peu élevé.

worked well. 2.4G travels further than 5G.

Morreu após menos de 1 ano de uso. Não estava exposto à chuva nem ao tempo. Simplesmente parou de funcionar. O RMA da TPLink não responde.

I was struggling to find a better access point which would give max speed and best coverage. I now have zero issues with WiFi. It’s as good as wired network. Go for it without doubt.
