TP-Link CPE210 Outdoor CPE Access Point – 2.4GHz 300Mbps 9dBi Overview The TP-Link CPE210 is a purpose-built outdoor CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) access point designed for long-range wireless links across open areas, rural properties, and commercial sites. With a built-in 9dBi dual-polarised MIMO antenna and TP-Link's Pharos MAXtream TDMA technology, it delivers stable, high-throughput connectivity at distances exceeding 5km — making it a go-to choice for Australian installers and network integrators. Key Features Built-in 9dBi 2×2 dual-polarised directional MIMO antenna Adjustable TX power from 0 to 27dBm (500mW) for flexible deployment System-optimised for 5km+ long-range wireless transmission Pharos MAXtream TDMA technology for improved throughput, capacity, and latency in PTMP environments Six operation modes: AP / Client / Bridge / Repeater / AP Router / AP Client Router (WISP) Passive PoE adapter supports up to 60m cable runs with remote reset capability Centralised management via Pharos Control software 15KV ESD protection and 6KV lightning protection IPX5-rated weatherproof enclosure — built for Australian outdoor conditions Common Use Cases Point-to-multipoint (PTMP) networks — connect multiple remote sites to a central hub CCTV backhaul — wirelessly transmit IP camera feeds across large properties or construction sites Rural internet distribution — extend broadband to sheds, outbuildings, or neighbouring properties WISP deployments — last-mile wireless internet delivery for small ISPs Temporary site connectivity — fast-deploy wireless links for events, mining sites, or remote worksites Technical Specifications Processor Qualcomm Atheros 560MHz (MIPS 74Kc) Memory 64MB DDR2 RAM / 8MB Flash Wireless Standard IEEE 802.11b/g/n; Proprietary TDMA (Pharos MAXtream) Frequency 2.4 – 2.483GHz Wireless Speed Up to 300Mbps (40MHz) / 144.4Mbps (20MHz) / 72.2Mbps (10MHz) / 36.1Mbps (5MHz) TX Power 0 – 27dBm (500mW), adjustable Antenna Built-in 9dBi 2×2 Dual-polarised Directional; 65° H-Plane / 35° E-Plane beamwidth Ethernet Ports 2× 10/100Mbps Shielded (LAN0: Passive PoE in; LAN1: Passive PoE passthrough) Power Supply Passive PoE via LAN0 (+4,5 pins; −7,8 pins); 16–27VDC Power Consumption 10.5W max Dimensions 224 × 79 × 60mm Weight 0.7kg Protection 15KV ESD / 6KV Lightning Weatherproofing IPX5 / Outdoor ASA stabilised plastic Barcode (EAN) 6935364071677 SKU CPE210 Frequently Asked Questions Does the CPE210 work as both an access point and a client? Yes. The CPE210 supports six operation modes including AP, Client, Bridge, Repeater, AP Router, and AP Client Router (WISP), giving you full flexibility for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint deployments. What is Pharos MAXtream TDMA and why does it matter? Pharos MAXtream is TP-Link's proprietary Time-Division Multiple Access protocol. It significantly improves throughput, reduces latency, and increases the number of clients that can connect simultaneously — particularly useful in PTMP setups where multiple CPEs connect to a single base station. How far can the CPE210 transmit? TP-Link rates the CPE210 for links exceeding 5km under optimal line-of-sight conditions. Real-world range will vary based on terrain, interference, and antenna alignment. Does it require a special PoE injector? Yes — the CPE210 uses Passive PoE (not 802.3af/at). A compatible Passive PoE adapter is included in the box. Do not use active 802.3af/at PoE switches without a passive PoE adapter in between. Is the CPE210 suitable for Australian outdoor conditions? Yes. The enclosure is rated IPX5 for water resistance and is constructed from UV-stabilised ASA plastic, making it suitable for Australian sun, rain, and coastal environments. It also includes 6KV lightning protection for added peace of mind. Can I manage multiple CPE210 units centrally? Yes. TP-Link's free Pharos Control software allows centralised monitoring and management of multiple Pharos-series devices from a single interface.
