Great device. Does what is intended. Word of caution on throughput
This CPE is great. I've used this in a setup for a family member to get internet out to their gazebo that is about 150ft from their house. Streaming video for watching NFL games, MLB games, movies etc works great without issue. It's an awesome setup!With that, I decided to get one myself to have internet in my detached shop. It's only about 50 feet from my house. I have this device configured as a client to my home wireless network and then running to a small WIFI router in my shop that is in AP mode. Standing in the same room about 20 feet from my home WIFI router it was getting about 75mbps download (2.4ghz band) and with my setup to my shop I get about 60mbps in my shop. So it's a solid connection.Here's the thing that some people MAY be overlooking if they are running a similar setup. I have a 1gbps internet connection. That's NOT the speed I can expect over wireless. If I were to use the 5ghz band I can get decent throughput but I'd have to be pretty close to the home router. Anyway, this CPE says 300mbps throughput in the 2.4 ghz band. IF you were to get that throughput that is ONLY to the CPE, NOT to anything that is using it to access the internet. The catch (for me) was the ethernet port. It's a 10/100mbps so that's where the bottleneck is in my scenario. The fastest I could hope to get is 100mbps. For me, there's nothing wrong with that and it will work great. I'm sure for a lot of people's needs this will work great. I just wanted to put it out there in case people had certain expectations. If ou really need the greater speeds, get the TP-Link CPE710 as it has the 10/100/1000mbps ethernet connection and the ethernet interface won't be the bottleneck any longer.Bottom line: Good, reliable, quality product. 100% recommend!

Works great as a client on an existing wifi network to access Internet in metal building
Amazing product. Have it set as a client on my wifi at house and set up at barn. I have an AP connected to it inside and working very well. I can pull down about 100 Mbps and about 40 up.Setup was pretty straightforward and worked immediately.

Mostly reliable and works fine
We have installed this for over 1.5 years now so this review should be able to give the real user experience.1. Speed. We have 300 fiber, but this antenna only gives us about 10M, but it's probably due to our situation, we have 2 big trees in between and a big transformer, I imagine that interferes a lot; But 10M is more than enough for our use case;2. Range. Our setup is cross 300 feet (roughly 100 M), again we have lots of interference in between so this is still good;3. Functionality. As long as it works, it's super reliable and we didn't need to adjust anything or reset, basically set it and forget it;4. Durability. 6 months after it was put in service, the server (sending) side died, the light is still on, but there is no way to get into the web UI, contacted the TPLink CS but couldn't figure it out, it's bricked for no reason; eventually we bought a replacement and have had no issues ever since;5. Mountability. Super easy, a zip tie is all you need.6. Warranty. Warranty is generous, however customer needs to pay for the shipping which cost more than half of the unit price. We threw away the bricked unit instead of going through warranty claim because of that.Overall, it's a good product, as long as it works.

Solid performance
I got two of these to provide internet connection to my detached garage for security cameras. The distance is at least 200ft and the first 20-30 ft go through the attic of my condo and my neighbor's. The first one is in the attic as an AP (access point) (Ethernet to the router) pointing at the direction of the garage (the condo rules don't allow me to put it outside). Like I said, between my condo and the garage there is another condo. The second unit is also in the garage (cannot have it outside) as a repeater.My phone sees the AP from the condo but the Internet is not usable.If I use the second unit as a repeater, I get a solid 5 to 15 Mbps. Mind you I haven't optimized their placement yet, I just placed them quickly to check the connection. I should be able to raise both units a few more feet and potentially improve the signal/penetration a bit.The RF of the units seem very solid and I love their interface. Many parameters to configure and monitor the connection status.The units support as low as 5MHz BW which can help with very long distances, however, my phone wouldn't connect with anything less than 20 MHz (couldn't see the AP). I guess less than 20MHz can be used when one unit is AP and other one a client.Finally, this setup is less than 1/3 of the cost of another WIFI repeater system by CC Vector, it offers a better interface and actually works. The CC Vector gave me a 25% signal but no usable Internet.Update April 20th, 2019:Before mounting the units higher, occasionally the upload speed from the garage to the condo would be practically unusable. I suspect interference from one of the several other APs in the condo complex (the survey tool picked up 96 APs!). I was able to make the connection more stable by changing the channel, and limiting the max speed and bandwidth (again it is very nice to have these options). After that I got around to mount the units higher which helped to make the signal more stable and I didn't have problems since.In order to be able to use a bandwidth less than 20 Mhz and set the unit in the garage in the client mode, I bought a cheap router (TL-WR940N, about the same price as an AP only) that I connected to the client CPE210. Originally, the router was set as an AP but I ended up using it as a router for utilizing data filtering options that were not available at the AP mode.If I had a line-of-sight I would have used the 5GHz CPE units since the 5Ghz band is less crowded. I am pretty sure the 5Ghz signal wouldn't fair well going through multiple walls and roofs.Still, very pleased and I hope they last a long time.
