What This Product Does The TP-LINK Wireless N Access Point TL-WA801N is designed to establish or expand a scalable high-speed wireless N network or to connect multiple Ethernet-enabled devices such as game consoles, digital media adapters, printers, or network-attached storage devices to a wireless network. The AP supports a host of different functions that makes your wireless networking experience more flexible than ever before. Now, you can enjoy a better Internet experience when downloading, gaming, video streaming or any other applications that you may wish to use. Wireless N - Speed & Range Adopting IEEE 802.11n advanced MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) technology, it simultaneously works through two antennas to Tx and Rx to overcome the interference and signal degradation when traveling long distances or through physical barriers in a small office or a large apartment, resulting in an incredible improvement in the wireless performance, even in a steel-and-concrete building. Above all, you could easily pick up the wireless network during long-distance connection where legacy 11g products may not! Multiple Operating Modes - Easy to Build WLAN Supports multiple operation modes (Access Point, Multi-SSID, Client, Range Extender) to enable various wireless applications to give users a more dynamic and comprehensive experience when using their APs. Multiple operating modes also help you easily build wireless network for hard-to-wire locations or eliminating wireless dead zone. Passive PoE Supported - More Flexible Deployment The TL-WA801N is able to be powered using an Ethernet cable to simultaneously send data and electricity to wherever your AP may be located even up to 100 feet away. This feature multiplies your options allowing you to place the AP in a position that is most convenient to get the best signal possible, such as on the wall or on the ceiling of your office.
