TP-Link Omada AC1350 Wireless Ceiling Mount Access Point Seamless Roaming,1200 Mbps,Dual_Band, Gigabit, MU-Mimo, Beamforming, Poe Powered, Free PoE…

Works great on the 5 Ghz band, huge improvement over the 2.4 Ghz band. Getting close to 148 Mbps DL and UL on my 150 Mbps broadband line. Installed this device over on my CCTV system’s POE switch, but the product comes with a power adapter as well. Make sure you install it on a gigabit link to get the most out of this unit.

EAP225 1350Mb/s
For my home installation I used the supplied powered ethernet power supply, you may perhaps already have one.
I just logged into my router and found the IP address of the EAP225 then typed that into a browser window to log directly into the EAP225. It asks for the login password but I don’t think there is one until you create it so make sure you know what your login details are for future reference. I wrote it on the back of the device as no one else will be messing with it.
Once logged in I just changed the SSID and password to match my router for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
I do find my phone isn’t brilliant at swapping from a weak signal to a strong one but tapping the WiFi button on my phone to off, then on fixes that if it won’t switch over quickly.

Easy enough to wire up but in a year or two you could easily forget that you also need to use a flat edge screwdriver or similar to insert into a slot so it twists off the wall plate. I cut a strip off an old credit card and left it slotted in as I know I would forget where the slot was if I didn’t. There’s no possibility of it being accidently twisted off where I have it mounted.

Incidentally the log in address and passwords for your home router are usually on the back of the device or on a card supplied with it.

I’m very pleased with the EAP225 it works well.

Bon produit, placé à peu près au centre d’une maison de 240 m², la réception est bonne partout en 2.4GHz. En 5GHz c’est un peu compliqué mais ce n’est pas ce que je demandais au produit. En mode “Guest” les autres machines ne sont pas joignables. Le WIFI est stable pas de souci particulier. L’AP ne possède pas de serveur DHCP cependant fonctionne parfaitement derrière une box. La gestion multi SSID est simple à configurer ainsi que les différents paramètres. L’interface WEB de l’AP (je ne parle pas du soft de gestion) est simple et clair. Elle n’est pas joli au sens propre mais répond aux attentes. Il est possible de régler la puissance d’emission et le 2.4 ou 5GHz peu etre activé ou désactivé en fonction des attentes.
Je n’ai pas testé les paramètres avancés tels que le timeout, plage horaire et page d’accueil (comme dans les hotels ou restaurants).

Wi fi signal strength could be better…need to improve for 5 stars. Else it works as advertised. Easy to install

Processamento no wi-fi tanto 2.4 como 5 GHz é muito bom um dos melhores custo-benefício do mercado

Four and a half stars.

An impressive enterprise class product and a good price.

I keep burning through home WiFi routers. I get poor reception, but usually get twho ore three years out of them. My last TP-Link home WiFi router lasted three years, and is no longer made. So I needed to step up a little bit.

My work as a large combined WiFi access point enterprise network that works great. It is using Cisco hardware, which are pretty sleek and unobtrusive. This device is pretty large but when you mount it to the ceiling it won’t be a big sore thumb.

It comes with some great configuration software. It lets you setup a multi node WiFi access network using a bunch of these. In a business that is spread out in a big space, this is a great way to make it all ‘just work’ and let people roam around without having to know multiple access points on their devices just to get work done.

I bought this because it is an enterprise class product with a business oriented warranty. Most home gear comes with a one or two year warranty. TP-Link really wants the business community business and put this on a ‘limited lifetime’ warranty. So worth it in my book, especially at the $60.00 price point (as of 7/8/2017).

Please, please, please: buy yourself a PoE power injector for this. If you don’t know what this it, it is a little (relatively) power brick you place near your network router. Then you plug it and run your network cables through it. Now you have power to run this device, which is fully PoE (power over ethernet) compatible. Now you only have a single wire running to this and are not trying to figure out how to get power it this devices included ‘wall wart’ power pack. If you can run ethernet cables in your attic (at home) or have a suspended panels ceiling to run the cable through, then this thing just becomes a thing attached to your office ceiling with the cable hidden away.

Why only four and a half stars? Its just a wee bit too big. Not a bad thing and not ugly with sprouting antennas all over it. Just a wee bit ‘lumpish’. Again, not a bad thing. And who cares at this price?

Definitely recommended for a reduced cost business WiFi network, or even home use (like me). Go for it!
