Frequently Asked Questions
Which Australian carriers are compatible with the NE200?
The NE200 supports the 5G and 4G LTE bands used by Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone in Australia. Always verify your carrier's specific band requirements before purchasing.
Does the NE200 include a PoE injector?
Yes. A PoE injector is included in the box, so you can power the unit over a standard Ethernet cable run from indoors without needing a separate power outlet at the mounting point.
How far can the Ethernet cable run from the PoE injector to the NE200?
Standard PoE supports cable runs up to 100 metres using Cat5e or Cat6 cable, which is sufficient for most roof, eave, or pole mounting scenarios.
Can I use the NE200 as a standalone router, or do I need an additional router indoors?
The NE200 functions as a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) and outputs a wired Gigabit connection. For Wi-Fi distribution indoors, you will need to connect it to a separate Wi-Fi router or access point.
Is the NE200 compatible with the TP-Link Tether app?
Yes. The NE200 can be managed via the TP-Link Tether app (iOS and Android) or through its browser-based web interface for full configuration and monitoring.
What is the maximum download speed of the NE200?
The NE200 supports 5G NR with theoretical peak download speeds dependent on your carrier's network and local signal conditions. Real-world speeds will vary based on tower distance, congestion, and plan.
