Adopting the advanced MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) IEEE 802.11n technology, it operates simultaneously through two antennas in Tx and Rx to overcome interference and signal degradation when moving over long distances or through physical barriers in a small office or a large apartment, resulting in improved wireless performance, even in a building with steel and concrete. Above all, you could easily find the wireless network when connecting over long distances, where older 11g products might not be possible.
Multiple Operating Modes
Supports multiple operating modes (Access Point, Multi-SSID, Client, Range Extender) to allow various wireless applications to provide users with a more dynamic and comprehensive experience when using their APs. Multiple operating modes also help you easily create a wireless network for locations where cables are not required or to eliminate wireless dead zones.
Passive PoE
The TL-WA801N can be powered using an Ethernet cable for simultaneous data and power transmission to any point it may be located, even up to 30 meters away. This feature multiplies your options by allowing you to place it in a position that is most convenient for the best possible signal, such as on the wall or ceiling of your office.

I use it to provide wifi to customers so that I don't have to give the password of my main connection. It works, but I'm concerned that it doesn't have a guest mode, so the user connecting to the access point gains access to all the devices on the network.
It is one of the biggest wastes of money for me, a USB adapter from the same company provides much more speed and stability than this one.
I bought it because the USB adapters often disconnect, and this one, even though it doesn't disconnect, has much worse performance than those. I use it as both a repeater and a client, and it has the same performance. It doesn't even reach half the speed of the central router in the house, which is 5 meters away.
This is the first product from this company that I rate low.
Stay away, get anything else for the same price, whether it's a USB adapter, another access point, or a network card for the computer.
Very bad access point, I bought it out of necessity and because the store I went to didn't have anything else, and in the end I was not justified. Tx power 15dbm is at least ridiculous, while in Greece we have a legal limit of 22. It is possible that the router provided by the provider has at least the same range. Don't expect more than a day without restarting for stability, especially if more than 2 devices are connected. Also, it is not supported by OpenWRT, so if you want custom firmware to solve these problems, forget it. Although it is cheap, with a little more money you have much better options, such as Xiaomi routers, so you can't even call it value for money. Don't make the same mistake
I bought it as a replacement for a Belkin solely because I thought the range would be better. Apart from the ease of connection and stable operation, it's not even a joke to cover distance between rooms. In short, I made a mistake... many times you search for something with good value for money and obviously this is not it...
Very easy installation, good range, what impressed me is that it doesn't lose much in speed. And to be more clear, I have 50 VDSL, with the provider's wired modem I get 50, with wireless I barely got 22 mbps. With other conventional access points, much lower speed. With this specific one, my wifi speed is at 42 mbps.
You just connect it and it works, now if you want to make some configurations, they are very easy to do from the menu.
I received it today and connected it immediately since I am not familiar with such technical issues.
As I see it, it is plug and play. The only thing initially needed is to connect it to your computer with an Ethernet cable in order to run the quick setup.
It asks for a password to create initially, to access the router... login.
You can choose how you want to work with it. It also shows you the password for the Wi-Fi at some point, and you're ready. Very easy... (literally telling you this by someone who is not familiar with it)
Then, you connect it with an Ethernet cable to your router. You plug it in. It turns on. And you're ready...
Now, I don't know the technical details to provide more information. As I said, I am not familiar with it.
I will investigate it. And if I learn how to configure it properly, I will come back. And if I encounter any malfunctions...
I believe it is worth it. It has a stronger signal than the main router. That's all for now. ...
I needed a WiFi repeater for my room (the router is in the living room, 10m away) to connect my provider's IP TV through Ethernet (I have ADSL connection) and also to have better WiFi, so I bought it. It does its job satisfactorily BUT I have noticed that the ping has increased slightly and the speed has decreased somewhat compared to before when I was directly connected to the provider's router. It gave me a little trouble during installation, but I managed to do it in the end...
I bought the product three days ago. The worst thing about it is the repeater!!!!! Constant disconnections. It works relatively well as an access point... but not with a long range.
I have the TP-LINK TL-WA801ND in my possession for about 5 months. After a considerable amount of time living with it, I can say that I have a complete opinion about the product.
Starting with the external design, it has a very beautiful box design, with small dimensions (181 × 125 × 36mm), with two detachable antennas of type RP-SMA connector and 5dBi power each. Of course, because they are detachable, they can be replaced with larger ones for greater coverage. It also has a power emission setting in 3 levels and, of course, wireless function deactivation through its web management environment.
It can be placed on flat surfaces or mounted on a wall as it has a support system.
As for its functionality, it supports the following modes: Access Point, Multi-SSID, Client, Universal/WDS Repeater, Bridge with AP. It can transmit up to 4 different SSIDs and supports WEP/WPA/WPA2, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK data encryption protocols during wireless communication.
The wireless communication protocols it works with are IEEE 802.11b (up to 11Mbps), IEEE 802.11g (up to 54Mbps), and IEEE 802.11n (up to 300Mbps).
Its management is done through a web environment that explains in detail each function and leaves no doubts even for beginners. It is supported by upgrades, but they are not automatic and require user intervention.
In its packaging, apart from the necessary accessories (quick installation guide, power adapter, CD, 2 antennas), it also includes a Passive PoE Power Injector to power it through a Cat5 cable up to 30 meters away, a very useful feature when there is no power supply where it will be placed.
Finally, the device works equally well on Microsoft Windows 98SE, NT, 2000, XP, Vista™, or Windows 7, MAC OS, NetWare, and UNIX or Linux.
Pros: Low price, multiple functions, abundance of settings, easy management with web environment, and detachable antennas.
Cons: Manual upgrades, when the bandwidth reaches the maximum capabilities of the device, it can freeze and require a reset. It heats up quite a bit during operation.
