TP-LINK TL-WA801N 300Mbps Wireless N Access Point

The TP-LINK TL-WA801N is a versatile 300Mbps wireless N access point designed to establish or expand high-speed wireless networks in offices and large apartments. With 2.4GHz frequency and IEEE 802.11n technology, this access point delivers reliable wireless connectivity ideal for HD video streaming, online gaming, and voice applications.

Advanced MIMO Technology for Extended Coverage

Equipped with IEEE 802.11n MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) technology, the TL-WA801N uses two fixed omni-directional antennas to transmit and receive data simultaneously. This configuration overcomes interference and signal degradation through walls and physical barriers, making it effective even in steel-and-concrete buildings where legacy 802.11g devices struggle to maintain connection.

Multiple Operating Modes for Flexible Deployment

The TL-WA801N supports four distinct operation modes to accommodate various networking scenarios:

• Access Point Mode: Creates a wireless network for multiple devices
• Multi-SSID Mode: Broadcasts multiple wireless networks from a single device
• Client Mode: Connects Ethernet-enabled devices to wireless networks
• Range Extender Mode: Eliminates wireless dead zones by extending existing network coverage

Passive Power over Ethernet Support

The included Passive PoE injector enables power and data transmission through a single Ethernet cable up to 30 meters (100 feet). This feature provides flexible mounting options, allowing installation on walls or ceilings without requiring nearby power outlets. The 10/100M Ethernet port ensures compatibility with standard network infrastructure.

Network Security and Management

Security features include WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WPA/WPA2-PSK encryption protocols to protect your wireless network. WPS button functionality enables quick, secure connections with compatible devices. The access point supports WMM Quality of Service for optimized bandwidth allocation and SNMP for network management. Additional wireless functions include AP isolation, wireless statistics, and throughput monitoring.

Technical Specifications

The TL-WA801N operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band with reception sensitivity ranging from -90dBm at 11g 6Mbps to -70dBm at 11n HT40 MC7. The compact design measures 181.6 x 129.5 x 36.2 mm and operates in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C with 10-90% humidity. The package includes the wireless access point, power adapter, Passive PoE power injector, RJ45 Ethernet cable, and quick installation guide, backed by a 3-year warranty.
