Description
The TP-Link TL-CPE210 is a 2.4GHz wireless access point designed for outdoor use. It’s classified as a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), which means it’s intended to be installed at a customer’s location to establish a wireless connection to a network, such as an internet service provider or a local network.
Features
Frequency Band: The CPE operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band. This frequency range is commonly used for Wi-Fi connections, offering a balance between coverage range and data transfer speeds.
Wireless Speed: The CPE supports wireless speeds of up to 300Mbps. This speed refers to the theoretical maximum data transfer rate it can achieve under optimal conditions.
Antenna: The CPE is equipped with a built-in 9dBi directional antenna. This type of antenna is designed to focus its signal in a specific direction, which is beneficial for creating long-range point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connections.
Outdoor Design: The CPE is designed to withstand outdoor conditions. It is built with weather-resistant housing to protect it from environmental elements such as rain, wind, and sunlight.
Ethernet Port: The CPE typically includes an Ethernet port for connecting to a wired network or a network device, such as a computer or router. This port is used to establish the connection to the wider network beyond the CPE.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support: Many outdoor devices, including CPEs, support PoE, which means the power for the device is delivered over the Ethernet cable along with the data. This can simplify installation as only a single cable is required for both power and data.
Configuration and Management: The CPE is likely to come with a web-based management interface, allowing users to configure various settings such as wireless security, network modes, and signal strength adjustments.
Use Cases: CPEs like the TL-CPE210 are commonly used in scenarios where it’s necessary to establish a wireless link between two points, such as connecting remote buildings, providing internet access to outdoor areas, or extending the reach of a Wi-Fi network beyond the capabilities of traditional indoor routers.
Security Features: The CPE should offer security features like encryption (WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, and possibly other security measures to protect the wireless connection and the network.
