Suitable for wifi extension, in our living room where sometimes 10 people are connected, some of them teleworking. Good value for money.
It's well written in the description, but I didn't notice. I would never have imagined that 100M routers could still be sold, and even less that they could do so by marking the box "WIFI 450M". It's astonishing. Even if I agree that there is no deception, I give it one star, because this product is just absurd in 2023.
It's a pity, because otherwise it meets my need well, which is to add a multi-ssid wifi to my ethernet network with vlan management (you can create up to 4 vlans). It tags packets well and works as expected connected to a managed switch on a trunk port. The only strange thing is that I can only manage it from a machine on the same subnet, not from another subnet (there is an "Allow remote" box, but it didn't help).
At first sight, I'd rather use the TL-WA1201, which seems to do everything the same, but with the ethernet in gigabit.
Being completely satisfied, a 5 star rating seems justified. Availability, price, delivery time: everything is ok!
The fact that this product can be configured as an access point or as a Wi-Fi amplifier was just what I needed.
Everything works perfectly and, on top of that, the configuration is very simple. Great job!
I've been using it for a while now, but it's a very basic product, but it's very versatile.
The installation and connection is very easy and fast thanks to the wizard (in less than 2min, I was connected).
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the phone in a different way, but I'm sure it's a good idea to use it in a different way, and I'm sure it's a good idea to use it in a different way.
Note that there is a cheaper but slower version of this device: TP-LINK TL-WA801N
In short, a product that I approve without hesitation.
