TP-Link CPE210 2.4GHz 300Mbps 9dBi Outdoor Access Point

TP-Link CPE210 2.4GHz 300Mbps 9dBi Outdoor Access Point specializes in bridging the gaps that traditional networking equipment can’t handle—connecting detached buildings, extending Wi-Fi across large properties, and creating reliable wireless links where running cables would be impossible or prohibitively expensive.

Real Solutions for Distance and Terrain Challenges

When “Move Closer to the Router” Isn’t an Option

The TP-Link CPE210 tackles connectivity problems that standard indoor equipment simply can’t solve. Whether you need to connect a workshop to your main building, extend internet to a guest house, or link facilities across a property, this outdoor access point creates dependable wireless connections up to 5 kilometers away.

2.4GHz: The Frequency That Actually Travels

While everyone talks about faster 5GHz networks, the CPE210’s 2.4GHz operation provides something more valuable for outdoor applications—real-world range and obstacle penetration. This frequency choice means:

• Better penetration through walls, trees, and terrain that would block higher frequencies
• Reliable connections over longer distances where 5GHz signals simply fade away
• Consistent performance in challenging environments with natural and man-made obstacles
• Stable connectivity through weather conditions that affect higher frequency signals

Built for the Great Outdoors

Weather Protection That Actually Works

The TP-Link CPE210 doesn’t just survive outdoors—it thrives there. Operating reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +70°C with IPX5 weatherproof certification, this access point handles:

• Year-round temperature extremes without performance degradation
• Rain, snow, and moisture exposure with complete protection
• Direct sunlight and UV radiation without material breakdown
• Dust, debris, and environmental contaminants that would damage indoor equipment
• Coastal salt air and industrial environments with corrosion-resistant construction

Protection Against Nature’s Surprises

Lightning and electrical surges are facts of life for outdoor equipment. The CPE210 includes 6KV lightning protection and 15KV ESD protection, safeguarding your investment against electrical threats that would destroy unprotected devices.
