HalowLink 2 specifications:<\/p>\n SoC \u2013 Mediatek MT7621<\/a> dual-core, quad-thread MIPS1004K processor @ up to 880MHz Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah)<\/a><\/p>\n AzureWave AW-HM677 module with Morse Micro MM8108<\/a> HaLow chipset supporting Wi-Fi HaLow, IEEE 802.11ah, Sub-GHz, 43.3 Mbps, ultra-low power, WPA3 Wi-Fi \u2013\u00a02.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11n) based on Mediatek MR7603E, 2\u00d72 MIMO via\u00a02x internal 2.4 GHz WiFi antennas 2x Gigabit Ethernet port (1x WAN, 1x LAN) USB \u2013 1x USB-C port for power and network access Mode button (Access point\/Extender selection) Power Supply \u2013 5V\/2A power via USB-C port The HaLowLink 2 can be connected to Wi-Fi HaLow-enabled devices (usually cameras) or standard 2.4 GHz WiFi devices. The solution can be used as a WiFi extender using two HalowLink 2 gateways, for example, to extend Internet connectivity between two buildings a few hundred meters away from each other, or connect a traditional WiFi camera that\u2019s too far away from your broadband router.<\/p>\n The operating system is based on OpenWrt 23.05 (source code on GitHub<\/a>), and the device supports WebUI and SSH\/CLI configuration, status dashboard, wizards for easy configuration, and OTA upgrades. Another difference compared to the HalowLink 1, which was supported in the USA, Canada, and Australia, is that the HalowLink 2 adds support for Europe (including the UK) and Japan. You should be able to use the device in other regions, but you\u2019d have to check compliance with local regulations.<\/p>\n The HalowLink 2 WiFI Halow access point and extender is sold for $129 on the GL.iNet store<\/a>, or $233.82 for two. You\u2019ll find more information and links to purchase in Europe, APAC (Japan only), Canada, and the UK on the product page<\/a> on the GL.iNet website.
