TP-Link TL-WA730RE

details: 150Mbps Wireless Range Extender
hardware type: Wireless Range Extender
date added: 2011-07-30
updated: 2013-04-24
The TL-WA730RE is designed to establish an advanced wireless network with wider coverage and further range, building a wireless infrastructure instead of lots of wires. It provides Range Extender Mode as default wireless mode, working as a relay station to pick up wireless signals from a network's base router or access point, and repeat the signal flawlessly to previously unreachable or hard-to-wire areas.

Complying with the IEEE 802.11n standard, TL-WA730RE can establish a wireless network and get up to 9X the speed and 4X the range of legacy IEEE 802.11g products.

It can also work at the conventional AP mode, accessing the Internet via ADSL/Cable modem and linking the wireless and wired network together.

The device also comes with a CD with an Easy Setup Assistant that leads you through the setup process step-by-step, and even helps with wireless network settings and security configurations, which is convenient to the users, especially for novice users.
