Review: Running 3, setup and operation has been flawless! - I have read other reviews for these on desertcart stating power, range and setup problems. I did not experience any of these. I originally purchase one and installed it at the church where my wife works to provide internet access in the courtyard and the hall. I normally configure devices on a network manually, but this unit seemed to need the software that came with it for initial setup. After that I reconfigured it directly with no problem. It has been on line continuously for more than a year. Since then I purchased 2 additional units and have them installed and covering the entire church grounds. The coverage is terrific and they have been on line continuously for the last 6 months without a problem. I would like to address what I read in a couple of the 1 star reviews: "Unfortunately, they're range is very limited" - I don't know how the unit was mounted, but the 3 I configure have extremely strong signals as far as 50' away transmitting though multiple walls. I can connect to all 3 access points at 100'. "...mounted it about 10 feet above the ground. Inside my house 30' away the signal was so low I could not get a connection" - even on a completely flat property, 10' is not an adequate height for a wireless access point. Transmitting through walls is also an issue as every construction is different and contents of the walls (electrical wiring, cable, telephone...) as well as other factors (fluorescent lights, cordless phones, other access points...) will have varying effects on the signal. "When I hooked the ant up to the unit it shorted it to ground and burnt it up. Nowhere in the manual does it say that you cannot hook up an external antenna" - I changed out the antennas on the units for testing. I used several different antennas while attempting to cover difficult areas of the grounds. I did not have any issues due to these antennas. Shorting the antenna could have occurred due to the unit being powered up while removing/installing the antenna. As with any electronic device, the unit should be completely powered down before removing or connecting antennas. One review I read complained about the limited distance for the POE. I have one run that is 140' from the POE injector to the unit and have not had any issues with power. I would definitely purchase this again. Review: OK product for what I need - This is now the 4th of these devices I have installed. I am happy with the performance and the price. It is also nice that they can be used in multiple roles as an AP, Repeater or Bridge. I have used this device as an outdoor unit for a hotel that I administer and inside in a huge furniture store for mass coverage, so far so good. NEW EDIT! After using for quite some time, I have found that this product is constantly needing to be reset. It seems like this product loses internet connection more often than it should. I have replaced a couple of them with Ubiquiti products and they have a stronger signal and rarely if ever need to be reset. I have taken a star off the review because it is just an ok product. ## Features - High speed 300Mbps 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n wireless networking - Features multiple operating modes: Access Point, Bridge, Point to Point, Repeater - Setup utility allows for easy configuration of multiple outdoor access points - Heavy duty, weatherproof design and Power Over Ethernet supported,Power:48V, 0.5A Switching Power Adapter - 2 x external 5dBi omni-directional antennas ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0036VO394 | | Antenna Location | Home | | Antenna Type | Retractable | | Brand | Hawking Technology | | Built-In Media | Wall and Pole Mounting Kits | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | Ethernet, Wi-Fi | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Switch | | Coverage | Wireless Range Extension | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (91) | | Data Transfer Rate | 270 Megabits Per Second | | Frequency | 2.4 GHz | | Frequency Band Class | Single-Band | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00603992506873 | | Is Modem Compatible | No | | Item Weight | 1.06 Pounds | | LAN Port Bandwidth | 10/100 megabits_per_second | | Manufacturer | Hawking Technology | | Maximum Upstream Data Transfer Rate | 300 Megabits Per Second | | Mfr Part Number | HOWABN1 | | Model Name | HOWABN1 | | Model Number | HOWABN1 | | Number of Antennas | 2 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Power over Ethernet, Multiple Access Point Configuration, Multi-Mode Operation, Weatherproof Design | | Security Protocol | WPA2 | | UPC | 603992506873 804067332193 014445056522 504658021184 625286249129 151903046852 804904196933 808113015405 012304313557 809395429201 151903676554 191120045894 999992712711 755918567229 071030521261 763615883757 012300358330 041114202430 | | Voltage | 48 Volts | | Wireless Compability | 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n | ## Product Details - **Antenna Type:** Retractable - **Brand:** Hawking Technology - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Connectivity Technology:** Ethernet, Wi-Fi - **Frequency Band Class:** Single-Band - **Included Components:** Wall and Pole Mounting Kits - **Model Name:** HOWABN1 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Home - **Special Feature:** Power over Ethernet, Multiple Access Point Configuration, Multi-Mode Operation, Weatherproof Design - **Wireless Communication Standard:** 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n ## Images ![Hi-Gain Outdoor Wireless-300N Multifunction Access Point, Bridge, Repeater (HOWABN1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/412X1iV-6QL.jpg) ![Hi-Gain Outdoor Wireless-300N Multifunction Access Point, Bridge, Repeater (HOWABN1) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/017ssFiqwwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Running 3, setup and operation has been flawless! *by G***E on December 23, 2012* I have read other reviews for these on Amazon stating power, range and setup problems.

I am happy with the performance and the price. It is also nice that they can be used in multiple roles as an AP, Repeater or Bridge. I have used this device as an outdoor unit for a hotel that I administer and inside in a huge furniture store for mass coverage, so far so good. NEW EDIT!

I have taken a star off the review because it is just an ok product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great box for the price *by K***P on September 6, 2013* I didn't find the setup confusing at all but I have a lot of experience configuring routers. The CD takes you through each step. It even asks if what mode you want to put it in (access point/repeater/bridge). I gave it a name and setup the security options then I handed it to the maintenance guy who mounted it on the exterior wall of the local community center. We just had to run an Ethernet wire to a router inside the building. Since it had power-over-Ethernet there was just the one cable which made wiring easy. The community center sits behind the end-zone of a football field so once I connected my phone (Motorola Milestone3 with 802.11 b, g, n) to the WiFi I started walking across the football field to see when the signal ended. I was still able to browse the Internet from the opposite end-zone before I had to stop because I ran into a fence. The signal was weak, but stable/functional. Your distance may vary. If your phone/laptop only has 802.11g or if there are any obstructions or if the device isn't mounted high you might not get the same coverage. So far I am really pleased with this access point. If we have to set up another outdoor access point would purchase another one of these. EDIT: We had a county festival and mobile phone traffic was so high that I couldn't upload a single photo to Facebook. My friend was on a different phone network and she had no access either. However to connect to the access point from the street at the opposite end of the football field. So, the signal went from the building, across a stage area, across an entire football field (end zones and all), to the street. I was able to upload a half dozen pictures quickly. This device works great, and it is at a very nice price. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5591351-hi-gain-outdoor-wireless-300n-multifunction-access-point-bridge-repeater](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5591351-hi-gain-outdoor-wireless-300n-multifunction-access-point-bridge-repeater) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
