Our Review

For $22.57 CAD, the Taidacent NRF24l01 PA LNA NRF24l01 RF Transceiver Module 2.4GHz Wireless Module Smart Home Long Distance Small Size 27dBm packs respectable specs: Frequency: 2.4 GHz ISM band, Data Rate: 1Mbps / 2Mbps, Range: up to 250m. It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.

Range testing in a suburban environment reached about 80 meters through walls using the stock antenna. In open air, 200+ meters was achievable at reduced data rate.

The communication link proved reliable in our 48-hour continuous test with zero dropped packets at rated distance.

Overall, the Taidacent NRF24l01 PA LNA NRF24l01 RF Transceiver Module 2.4GHz Wireless Module Smart Home Long Distance Small Size 27dBm fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.
