FAQ
What is the wireless standard and maximum speed of this access point?
This TRENDnet access point uses the IEEE 802.11n wireless standard, operating on the 2.4 GHz frequency band. It delivers a maximum theoretical data transmission speed of 300 Mbps, providing sufficient bandwidth for typical outdoor networking tasks like internet access, file transfers, and video streaming over point-to-point links.
Does this access point support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the TEW-740APBO includes a PoE PD (Powered Device) port. This allows it to receive both data and electrical power over a single Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE switch or injector. This feature greatly simplifies outdoor installation by eliminating the need for a separate AC power outlet at the mounting location.
What outdoor environmental ratings does this unit have?
The access point is built with an IPX6-rated enclosure, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets and can withstand heavy rain. It is also rated for operation in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F), making it suitable for year-round use in most climatic conditions without requiring a protective enclosure.
What wireless operating modes are supported?
This device supports several configurable wireless modes to adapt to different network roles. These include standard Access Point (AP) mode for providing Wi-Fi coverage, Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for bridging between access points, Client Bridge mode to connect wired devices to a wireless network, plus WISP, CPE, and Control AP modes for service provider and managed network scenarios.
How is the antenna designed, and what is its gain?
The TEW-740APBO features a built-in, fixed 10 dBi directional antenna. This antenna focuses the radio signal in a specific direction, which increases effective range and signal strength for point-to-point connections compared to omnidirectional antennas. The directional design is ideal for bridging applications where the target location is known.
What are the mounting options and physical dimensions?
The access point is designed for pole mounting or wall mounting, with integrated hardware points for secure attachment. Its dimensions are 10 inches in width, 21 inches in depth, and 3 inches in height (254 mm x 533.4 mm x 76.2 mm), with a weight of approximately 7.04 pounds (3.19 kg). This compact, low-profile form factor minimizes visual impact and wind resistance when installed outdoors.
