Purpose-built outdoor link

The TRENDnet TEW-740APBO is a 2.4 GHz wireless access point with a built-in 10 dBi directional antenna. It delivers N300 point-to-point connectivity and includes a proprietary PoE power adapter. The IPX6-rated housing ships with wall and pole mounting hardware for permanent outdoor installation.

Suits fixed wireless bridges.

This unit fits installers who need a single long-range link between two buildings or a remote camera and a central switch. It supports AP, WDS, Client Bridge + AP, WISP + AP, CPE + AP and CAP operating modes. Buyers who want omnidirectional coverage, mesh roaming or 5 GHz band operation should look at other products.

10 dBi directional antenna gain

The integrated 10 dBi antenna concentrates signal in one direction, which is the specification that determines whether this device can close the intended link. Two 10/100 Mbps ports are provided, one with PoE input for power and data over a single cable.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the TEW-740APBO for a single outdoor link or buy multiple units for a mesh?

The TEW-740APBO is designed for point-to-point networking on 2.4 GHz; each unit provides one 10 dBi directional antenna and supports WDS mode, so you need two units to form a single wireless bridge.

What does the N300 rating mean when the AP is mounted outside?

N300 indicates a maximum wireless signalling rate of 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band; real-world throughput will be lower due to distance, obstacles and interference typical of outdoor deployments.

Will the 10/100 PoE port limit the speed of my 300 Mbps wireless link?

The wired ports are 10/100 Mbps, so the Ethernet side caps at 100 Mbps full duplex; wireless clients can still associate at up to 300 Mbps, but traffic passing through the wire cannot exceed 100 Mbps.
