The unit is big and designed to either plug directly into the mains or use Power Over Ethernet. the LED's can be scheduled to turn off at night which is a nice touch.

4ghz. The unit is supplied with white ties but I used my own black ones to match the downpipe. I used the recommended TP Link injector which is substantial and works well. On the downside I may have to paint it black!

This is a great device, with very good signal coverage and speeds. If you use POE then you either need a compatible POE switch (and not all POE switches are compatible) or a POE injector (not supplied). The same network ID is now available inside and out and switching from unit to unit is automatic. I bought this to extend WiFi coverage to our back garden.

Also it was larger than i expected. Performance in the garden is excellent and provides full video streaming performance up to 30m away - 500 Mb down and 100Mb up according to Ookla speed test even at the extremes of the garden. However the options to configure this device via the WebGUI are very limited.

Installation was straightforward having installed the Cat 6 weatherproof cable and mounted the unit to a downpipe with cable ties. For example you cannot have a 5ghz ssid and a different ssid for 2. In use the device was easy to install using the Deco app which detected it on my network and automatically integrated it with my existing three Deco units.
