I bought two of these APs to work with my Peplink Balance 30 LTE router, largely to be able to set up VLANs. I ordered the AX to obtain wifi 6 capability, to help "future proof" our system. Prior to this, I simply used two Asus routers in AP mode. While I obtained the VLAN capability and the APs work reasonably well, they are no better than the Asus routers were in terms range, despite being set to max power. Peplink also doesn't do a great job of helping to prevent channel overlap between multiple APs. And finally, these APs (or the Balance 30 LTE) take a very long time for a configuration change to be picked up by the APs themselves, and often require a complete reboot of the AP for it to occur. That can't be done easily when you don't have physical access to the AP or router. So, overall, these are expensive APs that offer only marginal improvement over less expensive choice, with still retaining some the Peplink problems with AP Controller/Configuration. It works, but it's not great, and not worth the price charged, IMO.
