Highlights
Multiple Operation Modes
The TL-WA1801 supports multiple operation modes to meet diverse network needs:
- Access Point Mode (Default): Transforms an existing wired network into a wireless network.[Diagram Description: A wired network connection feeds into the TL-WA1801 access point, which then provides wireless connectivity to smart phones, tablets, and laptops.]
- Range Extender Mode: Extends existing wireless coverage by repeating the wireless signal.[Diagram Description: The TL-WA1801 receives a wireless signal from an existing network and rebroadcasts it to extend coverage to devices like desktops, smart phones, and tablets.]
- Client Mode: Acts as a "Wireless Adapter" to connect wired devices (e.g., Xbox/PS3) to a wireless network.[Diagram Description: The TL-WA1801 connects wirelessly to a network and provides a wired Ethernet connection for devices such as game consoles or IPTVs.]
- Multi-SSID Mode (VLAN Support): Simultaneously supports up to four separate SSIDs and VLANs on each band, ideal for offices where different departments require distinct access policies.[Diagram Description: A wired network connection to the TL-WA1801 enables the creation of multiple SSIDs (e.g., SSID 1 for Office 1, SSID 2 for Office 2, SSID 3 for Office 3), each potentially on a different VLAN.]
Captive Portal Marketing, Designed for Small Businesses
Captive Portal offers unique marketing opportunities for small businesses like cafes or pharmacies. It allows for a flexibly designed portal page that requires customers to view an advertisement or accept terms for internet access, thereby improving brand awareness or delivering marketing messages.
Passive PoE for More Flexible Deployment
The TL-WA1801 can be powered using an Ethernet cable via Passive PoE, allowing it to send both data and electricity simultaneously to wherever the Access Point is located, even up to 100 feet away. This simplifies installation and placement.

Vast Wi-Fi Coverage ?
Beamforming technology concentrates Wi-Fi signals towards devices to create stronger, more stable connections. Four external antennas deliver Wi-Fi to every corner of the coverage area.

Note: Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location. Use of MU-MIMO requires clients to also support MU-MIMO.
