TP-Link TL-WA801N

TP-Link TL-WA801N is a 300 Mbps Wireless-N access point designed to extend or create Wi-Fi coverage in homes and small offices. It operates on the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) standard with MIMO technology for improved range and connection reliability. This flexible device supports multiple modes—such as Access Point, Multi-SSID, Client, and Range Extender—to fit a range of wireless networking needs. It also supports Passive PoE (Power over Ethernet), letting you use a single cable for both power and data to simplify deployment up to about 30 m from the power injector.
