The TP-Link TL-WA901ND 450 Mbps Wireless Wireless-N450 Access Point is engineered to establish or expand a scalable high-speed wireless N network. It can also be used to connect multiple Ethernet enabled devices, such as game consoles, digital media adapters, printers or network attached storage devices to a wireless network. The APs provide support for a variety of different functions that make your wireless networking experience more versatile than ever. Now, you have the ability to enjoy a better Internet experience for downloading, gaming, video streaming or any other application you wish.
Employing IEEE 802.11n advanced MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) technology, the access point works simultaneously through 3 antennas to Tx and Rx, in order to overcome interference and signal degradation over long distances or through physical barriers in a small office or a large apartment. This results in an amazing improvement in the wireless performance, even in a steel-and-concrete building. Most importantly, you can easily pick up the wireless network during long-distance connection where legacy 11g products may not be able to do so.
The device supports AP Client, Bridge, Universal / WDS Repeater and AP operation modes to allow for various wireless applications, providing you with a more dynamic and comprehensive experience while using your AP. Multiple operating modes assist you in the building of a wireless network for tough-to-wire locations or in getting rid of wireless dead zones.
Compatible with WI-FI Protected Setup (WPS), TL-WA901ND features a Quick Security Setup that enables you to almost instantaneously set up your security–just by pressing the “QSS” button! This automatically establishes a WPA2 secure connection, which is known to be more secure than WEP encryptions. Not only is this faster than normal security setups, it’s more convenient in that there’s no need to remember a password! The device supports both Personal and Enterprise encryptions.
The TL-WA901ND is capable of being powered by an Ethernet cable to simultaneously send data and electricity to wherever your AP is located–even up to 100′ (30.5 m) away. This feature multiplies your options, enabling you to place the AP in the position that is most conducive to receiving the best signal, such as on the wall or ceiling of your office.

TL-WA901ND Falls Far Short of TP-Link Product Line. Having purchased multiple TP-Link products over the years, we were expecting the same quality and reliability. That was never met by these TL-WA901ND’s. In two small-office locations, these access points will work as intended until, inexplicably, they start dropping the WiFi signal, and all connections. Only rebooting each temporarily restores access for five or six minutes. Into the trash they go.

Installing several in our campus to have a broader coverage. Easy to install.

I was trying to use this AP to enhance wireless signal in larger apt. Set Up is pretty easy but the speed from wireless device to the actual AP is very slow. I noticed if the TL-WA901ND AP is connected to a router other then a TP LINK router it wont work that well. It works best when it is connected with a router that shares the same BIOS. It works best with a TP LINK router and not your usual home cable, DSL or Fios routers.
