TP-Link Pharos CPE710 Outdoor CPE - 5GHz, 867Mbps, 23dBi
The TP-Link Pharos CPE710 is a 5GHz outdoor CPE designed for long-distance wireless networking and point-to-point connectivity. Its 23 dBi directional antenna delivers 867 Mbps speeds with narrow beam coverage, making it suited to bridging gaps between buildings, extending range to remote locations, and replacing traditional wired connections where installation is impractical.
Why this product
867 Mbps on 5 GHz with 80 MHz bandwidth
Three times faster than 802.11n, achieving this speed through 256 QAM modulation and wide channel selection. Suitable for bandwidth-heavy applications over long distances.
23 dBi directional antenna with narrow beam
High-gain Cassegrain design with 9° azimuth and 7° elevation beamwidth focuses signal precisely, improving latency and noise immunity in point-to-point and point-to-multipoint setups.
IP65 weatherproof with lightning protection
15 kV ESD and 6 kV lightning protection paired with a sealed plastic enclosure ensure the device survives harsh outdoor conditions, salt spray, and electrical surges.
Passive PoE for simple deployment
Powered via Ethernet with 16–27 V DC input, eliminating the need for separate power wiring and reducing installation labour on poles or rooftops.
Centralized management via Pharos Control
Free software platform lets administrators discover devices, monitor status, upgrade firmware, and configure multiple units from a single PC without per-device logins.

- Works with 802.11a, 802.11n, and 802.11ac clients and access points on the 5 GHz band.
- Connects via standard 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN port; supports passive PoE input on the same port.
- Certified for use in CE, FCC, RoHS, and IC jurisdictions.
- Operates in AP, Client, Bridge, Repeater, AP Router, and AP Client Router (WISP) modes; mode choice depends on your network topology and role in the link.
- Requires line-of-sight to the distant endpoint; the narrow 9° azimuth and 7° elevation beamwidth mean precise aiming is critical and the device is not suited to non-directional or mobile use cases.
Best for
- Long-distance point-to-point bridging between buildings or campuses where buried fiber or leased lines are not available.
- Extending coverage to remote locations, towers, or rural sites where line-of-sight to a distant hub is achievable.
- Outdoor mesh backhaul in WISP networks serving multiple subscriber locations from a central access point.
- Environments where a tight, focused beam reduces interference and improves signal quality in congested or noisy 5 GHz spectrum.
Trade-offs
- Indoor or near-ground deployment. The 23 dBi directional antenna requires line-of-sight and precise aiming; it is not a general-purpose access point and will perform poorly in obstructed, urban, or indoor settings.
- Mobile or roaming clients. The narrow beam design is optimised for stationary endpoints; moving clients will lose signal and experience frequent disconnections.
- High-capacity local networks. At 867 Mbps theoretical maximum and real-world overhead, it is not a backbone for large LAN clusters or data-centre inter-connects requiring multi-gigabit throughput.
- Applications needing non-directional coverage. The narrow elevation and azimuth beamwidth make it unsuitable for covering a wide service area; a traditional omnidirectional access point is more appropriate.
256 QAM and an 80 MHz bandwidth boosts overall speeds up to 867 Mbps, 3× faster than 802.11n Wi-Fi.
With 23 dBi high-gain directional Cassegrain antenna and dedicated metal reflector, the CPE710 provides excellent beam directivity, improved latency, and noise immunity. Professional performance, coupled with user-friendly design, makes the 5 GHz 867 Mbps 23 dBi Outdoor CPE710 an ideal choice and cost-effective solution for outdoor long-distance wireless networking applications.
CPE710 comes equipped with Pharos Control centralized management software, helping users easily manage all devices in their network from a single PC. Functions include device discovery, status monitoring, firmware upgrading, and network maintenance. An intuitive web-based interface– PharOS - provides an alternative management method and allows professionals to access more detailed configurations.
- Innovative snap-lock parts make for fast assembly and a sturdy structural design keeps CPE710 stable even in strong winds
- Durable IP65 weatherproof enclosure along with 15kV ESD and 6kV lightning protection ensures all-weather suitability
- Pharos Control gives administrators a free, centralized management system
- Passive PoE supports to allow flexible deployment and convenient installation
