TP-Link TL-WA7210N
Region : UnitedStates
Model : TL-WA7210N
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version : 3.18 Build 13118 Rel 58328N
ISP : Cox Communications
I tried calling the TP-Link hotline and finally got in, only to reach someone I could not communicate with. Am new to TP-Link units and setup the unit outside under a walkway that connects three buildings and the entire complex is under a metal roof. The unit is connected to an indoor router/modem with a 100 ft ethernet cable. It is mounted approximately 10 feet high and aimed at a back building. I can receive 150 mbps while outside the back building, but when I go inside the signal drops to 30 mbps and very slow or none at all internet access. The back building has glass from about four feet above the floor to the ceiling and I can see the unit from inside (it is aimed directly at the building). I had it configured as an access point. Am I ever going to get a usable wireless signal inside the building or should I configure the unit as something other than an access point. Thanks in advance for your help.
