TP-Link TL-WA801ND 300 Mbps Wireless N Access Point Router is a next-generation wireless device to connect multiple Ethernet-enabled devices such as game consoles and digital media adapters, printers, or network-attached storage devices to a wireless network. TP-Link TL-WA801ND router is powered by WiFi IEEE 802.11n advanced MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) technology, which 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.
The TL-WA801ND features Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) that allows users to instantly set up their security by pressing the “WPS” button, automatically establishing a WPA2 secure connection is more secure compared with WEP encryptions. Not only is this faster than normal security setups, but more convenient in that you don’t need to remember a password.
300Mbps wireless speed ideal for smooth HD video, voice streaming, and online gaming
Supports multiple operation modes: Access Point, Multi-SSID, Client, Universal/WDS Repeater, Bridge with AP
Easily setup a WPA encrypted secure connection at a push of the WPS button
Up to 30 meters (100 feet) of flexible deployment with included Passive Power over Ethernet Injector
