TP Link TL-WA801ND Access Point
Reviews for the the TP Link TL-WA801ND Access Point can be found by the plenty on Amazon and they are for the most part good. In fact out of 3000 or more reviews the WA801ND gets 4.5 out of 5.
It is not hard to see why. It is from a good manufacturer and it very cheap, for what it does. It can be used as a access point, or a repeater, or as a client, enabling a wired network device to connect to a wireless network. So its pretty handy.
There are few things that people buying this on Amazon bring up as bad things about this TP Link TL-WA801ND Access Point, and I will go over some of these here.
Quoting 300 Mbps WiFi but only 100 Mbps Ethernet Port
Hmmm. Yes the ethernet point is not gigabit. So this is a bit cheeky. But unless you are doing real heavy lifting with this access point you will not notice.
We can stream 2 HD TVs through this whilst surfing web, and listening to music on phones. So it is quite a powerful bit of kit.
As an access point the throughout would be capped at 100MPs, but as repeater it should handle 300MBPs. Although factoring two way traffic does this reduce to 150MBs effectively.
Difficult to Set up and Slow
No. Not my finding. The interface can be a little laggy, but you get that on a lot of networking equipment.
Some say that when they change the SIDD or login details they loose the connection. This happens on nearly all networking gear with these features.
Signal Strength
Not amazing, although 2 or 3 can be used to get wi-fi over large area. We have one that "shoots" wifi to a netgear repeater which then take wifi in to house.
Reliability
Occasional stuff breaks. I have had lots of networking gear of the years of all types and makes. Most has broken over time. Whether this is burnt out internals, or misdiagnosed problems passed down from other pieces of hardware (such as DHCP fault on router) who knows. Based on amazon reviews these have a 0.5% failure rate. And if you look at all the other wireless access point available, they all have failure issues too!
Conclusions
This is a very cost effective piece of kit. It has a few problems, but most of these are found in all access points.
