The TP-Link CPE210 2.4GHz 300Mbps 9dBi Outdoor CPE excels as a high-performance wireless bridge for long-distance outdoor networking. Specifically designed for point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) applications, it suits rural connectivity, surveillance backhaul, or campus Wi-Fi extensions. Operating on the 2.4 GHz band with 802.11n and 2×2 MIMO technology, this device achieves speeds up to 300 Mbps, ensuring fast and stable connections over 5+ km in clear line-of-sight conditions.
Moreover, the CPE210 integrates a 9dBi dual-polarized directional antenna for enhanced signal strength and reduced interference. Powered by a Qualcomm Atheros 560 MHz CPU, it leverages Pharos MAXtream TDMA technology to optimize throughput, capacity, and latency in PtMP setups. Consequently, it delivers reliable performance even in high-density network environments.
Additionally, its IPX5-rated weatherproof enclosure withstands extreme temperatures (-30°C to 70°C), while 15kV ESD and 6kV lightning protection ensure durability in harsh outdoor conditions. The device supports multiple operation modes, including AP, client, bridge, and repeater, offering flexibility for various networking needs.
For seamless management, the CPE210 includes Pharos Control software and a user-friendly web GUI for device monitoring, firmware updates, and configuration. Passive PoE simplifies installation with up to 60 meters of Ethernet deployment. However, non-experts may find initial setup challenging, and crowded 2.4 GHz bands could cause interference. Backed by a 2-year warranty, the TP-Link CPE210 combines affordability and professional-grade performance.
