Tp Link Cpe510 Review
Check out below for TP-Link CPE610 Review, Specification, Price and other details: TP-Link CPE610 Product Description. TP-Link CPE610 is equipped with Pharos control centralized management software. The software helps the users to easily manage all their devices from a single PC. TP-LINK's 5GHz 300Mbps 13dBi Outdoor CPE, the CPE510 is dedicated to cost effective solutions for outdoor wireless networking applications. With its centralized management application, it is ideal for point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and outdoor Wi-Fi coverage applications.
Bought it in January 2017 and have been using it 24 x 7 since then. No problems whatsoever till date.Signal range is really good. Receiving it's signal up to more than 120 meters.
The processor and memory performance is great. Reaching transmission speeds of 5-6 Mbps is no big deal for it. It handles those speeds with just 2-3% of CPU usage and 54-55% of RAM usage. Couldn't test for greater speed as I was limited by my net connection package.
If you need to use it as an outdoor router for long distances, you may face an issue (explained below).
In the setup:
By selecting the 'Region' as 'India'; it limits the transmit power to 11 dBm.
You need to select some other region where you may go up to 27 dBm.

Cons: - Neweggs customer service / shipping was the worst. Was suppose to take 4-7 days to get here and took multiple trips all over the USA and took 11 days to get here. Contacted new egg multiple times, and they didn't seem to care 'NO BIG DEAL'
Overall Review: -Great experience with TPLINK, will probably be trying more of their products... :)
Pros: Excellent Directional Antenna. Nice hardware. Excellent Price.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Gives excellent wifi access for the Broodmaster equipment in my Apiary. Unit installed inside my house adjacent to main router and pointed toward the bee yard.
Pros: 1/2 watt radio travels at least 1000 feet here. Read my other comment below for explanation of how it works for me.
Follow the instructions 'exactly' and it is easy to setup. You must wait for your computer to complete connection to the CPE210 or login to the radio will fail. This may take several minutes.
Cons: If two are used as an access point and the second as a client or if one is used as a repeater, bandwidth is cut in half. It seems that it works this way with all repeater radios.
The CPE210 v1 had a Lan0 and a Lan1 pass through port but this CPE210 v2 only has the LAN0 port so you can not daisy chain the version radios.
Overall Review: First, I live in a rural area and the only internet available is either satellite or a local wisp provider. Satellite is faster but the wisp is unlimited data with no cap. If you use the internet very much you will hit the data cap on satellite well before the end of the month and the reset period. In order to get line of sight to connect to the wisp providers radio, my connection is 450 feet from my home. It is too far to connect with cat5 cable as it will only work up to about 330 feet. I have had one of the CPE210 v1 radios hooked up for over 2 years with an excellent signal strength up to at least 1000 feet away from the radio. Each desktop has a USB wireless N adapter (Powerlink PL-H5DN-3070) which is also a 1/2 watt radio. Most of the time laptops will connect alright but a USB adapter like on the desktops helps at long distance. Some tablets have a hard time connecting or staying connected. Remember, the CPE210 is 450 feet away. I hope how I have explained my system helps some of you out if you have a longer range connection problem with internet. If you are looking to use one as a repeater, see the 'con's' above. Once again, if you have problems setting this radio up, follow the directions exactly. You must wait for your computer to connect with the radio or it will continue to fail to login. Your password must be more than 8 letters or numbers or it will fail. You need wireless connection and wired connection to the radio to set it up or I had to. I think I covered everything except setting your computers ip address as required in the instructions. Any questions on how to do any of the setup, do an internet search.
Pros: Easy set up, weatherproof, low price, very versatile, great tech support
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: When used in conjunction with the TP-Link WR841N router you can easily share an internet connection from a willing neighbor using the AP Client Mode of the CPE210 and the default settings of both devices. I love it.
