i get tired of writing glowing reviews for Ubiquiti products, but here we are again......
The U7 Pro Max works as expected. I plugged them into my network via POE, adopted them within the console, and waited for updates. No issues. FYI, real-world coverage is closer to 1000 sq ft versus 1500.
Much easier than the older aluminum WiFi antenna arrays that are bulky and difficult to mount on tall metal towers. Much easier to interface to your main internet provider, access point and/or DSL modem. (Shielded Ethernet cable not included) The software is very easy to use and setup. The TP-LINK customer service techs are very knowledgeable and helpful, also; if needed.
I was pleasantly surprised with the performance for this price point. The small size and aesthetics are great as well. Wireless coverage is excellent outdoors. I installed it in a very large open backyard in the country using a 150's white 28AWG solid CAT6 cable and highly recommend this unit.
Crazy easy setupWireless coverage and performance
- Easy to setup - Small physical foot print - Feels very durable - Easy to adopt into the UniFi controller software
I have a TP-Link Omada router and I added this TL-WA3001 as my primary access point. I have to say in my 25 years of struggling through a couple hundred network hook-ups using every brand you can think of... the setup of this TL-WA3001 was the easiest by far and most satisfying ever. Strangely I was saddened when I reached the end of the 4-step AP setup, I wanted it to go on longer. I have never experienced that emotion on setting up an access point, switch, router, extender. It was very moving. I actually teared up when I hit the SAVE button on finishing. The TL-WA3001 ships with a PO injector. During setup I elected to enable the auto-select function for selecting which 2.4/5 signal to deliver to my 5 connected wireless devices and it works perfectly. In the first 48 hours there was zero interruptions/blackouts. I like that in a wireless AP. Set it up and forget about it.
- Software is intuitive and easy, makes setup a breeze (even fun!) - Functionality is excellent. I have an old brick house with loads of plaster and 2 of these cover the whole thing. Getting at least 1 more for the outside.
Seller shipped this wi-fi range extender extremely quickly. I got a sale price but would have paid more as my phones and tablets all receive solid signals now. This device really boosted my wi-fi range!
