Available at Editech Computers — FAQs for TP-Link CPE210

Q: Do I need two TP-Link CPE210 units to create a Point-to-Point bridge?

A: Yes. For a dedicated Point-to-Point (PtP) link between two separate locations, you need one unit set to Access Point (AP) mode at the source and a second unit set to Client mode at the destination.

Q: How far can the TP-Link CPE210 transmit a wireless signal?

A: Under clear line-of-sight conditions with minimal interference, the CPE210 can maintain reliable directional data links up to 5 kilometers.

Q: Does the TP-Link CPE210 require an electrician to install power outdoors?

A: No. It uses 24V Passive Power over Ethernet (PoE), meaning data and electrical power travel over a single outdoor-rated Cat5e/Cat6 network cable plugged into the indoors PoE adapter.
