TP-Link EAP653 AX3000 WiFi 6 Wireless Access Point, Dual Band Gigabit, PoE+ Powered, 160MHz Channel, Seamless Roaming, Ceiling Mount Wi-Fi Access points, Omada Mesh, Cloud Centralized Management

I got this for home use (can be used in any office small and large. First off it arrived in the branded box shown i have used TP link products in the past and i have found these better working the Sky Router than other brands. TPLink AP is a very cost effective option and simple to install with basic DIY and network knowledge. So right out box your meet with the access point which is light weight yet strangely stronger than you think. In the box you get the 1 Access Point 1 PoE Power adapter 1 mounting bracket Instructions No cables provided so you will need to order two cat 6 or above Ethernet cables one from router to PoE and one from PoE to the Access point Fitting was really simple and it honestly tuck me all of 20 mins once i knew where i was fitting. Once fitted i go to running cables around and through trunking to where my access point was. (I would recommend trying it before you mount it to ensure its working) You have two options for accessing the Access Point, first is the App available on apple and google stores or the second through your web browser both solutions are easy even for someone with little IT experience (however if you struggle there is loads of advice on YouTube or google) instructions provided are pretty good also. Once up and running and you have accessed you access point you can clone your main channel or you can do what i have done i have set up several access points for the family and guests as sadly with sky routers you can’t have a guest channel so everyone is connected. The best thing about setting up access for my kids is that i can very quickly disable their access to the internet at certain times (for example bed times etc) i have also set up channel for smart home cctv/ bulbs etc. when setting up access i would strongly recommend you have 2.4Gz and 5Gz running together this easier and allows older devices and new devices to run on same access point without issue. Now the wifi coverage has massively increased i can now get access at bottom of garden also when i pull up where i park car my phone connects straight to the house wifi. At £61.98 at time of review its most definitely worth the price. I have recommended this to my sister who has same issues with wifi in her house and im fitting it next week Highly recommend

Our house is quite long with internal stone walls which has meant problems in getting wifi to every room. Despite having ethernet cabling and sockets run to various rooms in the house when we had it rewired, I had continued to use powerline adaptors which increasingly suffered from dropouts. I purchased one of these access points along with a Netgear POE switch and two weeks later the difference is huge. The setup couldn't be more straightforward: ethernet cable from BT Hub4 to Netgear POE switch, ethernet cable from switch to wall socket and then ethernet cable from distant socket to the access point. Connect Netgear switch to mains and then download the TP-Link app onto iPad. Connect the iPad to the access point in iPad settings (as if connecting to a new wifi network) using SSID and password printed on the access point and the TP-Link app then finds the access point allowing the user to set first of all a user name and password and then the SSID and wireless key of the BT Hub. I could also have turned off the LED on the unit via the app but after all my previous problems with the powerline adaptors I left it on to glow reassuringly. After a week of flawless performance I bought a second unit which was just as easy to set up and which works just as well. We now have reliable dual band wifi throughout the house with seamless roaming between both access points and the BT Hub. If your house is cabled for ethernet (or if you can run ethernet cabling unobtrusively) this is by far the best way to bring wifi to all rooms in your house. Highly recommend. PS the access point comes with a mains adaptor so you don't have to use a POE switch but it looks much neater to have just the one cable going the access point so it's worth the small extra cost IMO.

This works incredibly well. Was fairly easy to set up BUT it is not in any way wireless it requires an ethernet cable and when its plugged in the cord is short so, for example,.you cant place it further than half way ish up the wall if your.plugs are in normal places Some of the images and adverts have it on the cieling- unless you are rewiring it it, this is not possible It does work well though and, touch wood, has provided me strong signal- just as good as the main WiFi in the house Ive been running a tv, laptop and phone off it at points and its been absolutely fine I think overall a good solid 4 stars is my honest opinion based on the wire situation really It isnt ugly and is a nice size so isnt that noticeable once up..its quite sleek. It is reliable It is funcional It does its job Its a good product Thanks

I was looking to upgrade wifi zone in my house. I live it not a big house but other devices i tried struggled with walls and other things. This one is just goes. I have no problem with wifi signal strength at any part of my house. All works perfectly. Every single room, every single corner and even back of my back-garden is covered with Wifi6 signal. Highly recommend this product. App allows you to setup security, access and other important wifi setup options. This item is just perfect for what i need.

I have been a satisfied user of TP-Link products, and the TP-Link AC1750 Wireless Access Point has once again impressed me with its outstanding performance and reliability. As a previous owner of the EAP 245, I decided to keep using these Wi-Fi 5 models, and I am delighted with my decision. Firstly, I must note that I received the EAP 265HD v1 version instead of the v2, but it still exceeded my expectations. Setting up the access point was a breeze, thanks to the seamless provisioning and adoption process through the Omada software controller. The controller's analytics feature has proven to be valuable, providing me with useful insights into my network's performance. One of the standout features of this access point is its ability to facilitate smooth multi-AP roaming. I have multiple access points installed in my home, and I have not experienced any noticeable disruptions or drop-offs when moving between different areas. The transition is seamless, allowing me to enjoy uninterrupted connectivity on all my devices. In terms of speed, this access point has consistently delivered impressive results. Even when located approximately 10 meters away with some obstructions in the way, I have achieved speeds consistently exceeding 500Mbps, with a mere 5ms ping. This level of performance is particularly remarkable considering my gigabit fiber-backed network. Overall, I am thoroughly satisfied with the TP-Link AC1750 Wireless Access Point. It has proven to be a reliable and high-performing device, surpassing my expectations. The seamless roaming, easy setup through the Omada software controller, and impressive speed capabilities make this access point an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable and robust wireless network solution. I highly recommend it.

Easy to set up. Very effective

Bought this as part of an upgrade to my house WiFi because it's wired and frankly better than a mesh type system which does it's job but can't compete with a more pro-setup such as this which, is designed for offices, hotels and workplaces. Firstly to backtrack. I renovated my house back to bare walls a few years ago and as part of that I ran in Cat6 everywhere. As an engineer I still liked the idea of being able to use wiring for data because bottom line it's faster. At the time I had the usual WiFi router for through the air stuff and in each room the ability to use Cat6. However thanks to my foresight of using foil backed plasterboard to help with energy I also when I finished realised that I'd basically created a bit of a Faraday cage and thus my WiFi was never fantastic. So, when better systems rocked up I used them and currently have five BT mesh units scattered around which, work but the range is a bit low. And then this system came to my attention via my son who was asked to install an AP system during a house rewiring he was doing. Bit of research and I have finally found the perfect system for me. A wired AP network that means I don't have to rely on passthrough or mesh for WiFi around my house and garden. Oh yes, garden as well because TP Link make outside AP's which I've also bought. I have a bunch of hedgehogs around and I've got WiFi cameras to catch them bumbling around at night which my wife and I really like to see. So here we are. A ceiling mounted unit which is neat, works superbly well and is POE - kind of. First off the TP Link system makes a big thing of POE which this is but not quite like the fully POE units that cost a bit more. I bought in total a controller, POE network switch and four AP's thinking that they would all just run off the POE switch which, they don't. Two of the AP's do - the more expensive ones - but this one has a powered adaptor. Basically, you run a LAN cable to the POE adaptor which is plugged in and then run the Cat5 or 6 to this WiFi AP. Not the end of the world but I do need a couple more which, I will spend more on so I can forget the powered adaptor that this uses. Once connected and powered up, using the Omada app and/or the control module you log in and look for the unit. Once found - which is automatic - give it a name and it's on your system which you will have already set up with SSID and password of your choice. The unit itself is well made and mounts primarily on a ceiling but could go on a wall as well. The Cat 5 or 6 cable entry is at the back and designed so that you don't see the cable which, will presumably have been fed through a hole predrilled. This is the one downside to this system for many. You need to run cat5 or 6 to where it's located and whilst in my opinion a far better way of setting up a full house WiFi does mean some work. I was lucky in that entirely by chance I'd decided years ago to run in loads of the stuff before plastering and painting means for me it's not a big job. However if you do need to run in cable then if you can't do it yourself then that will cost you. And cost. In reality this system excluding cable and fitting is cheaper than the BT mesh system. And way, way better. If you really do want great WiFi everywhere and the means to easily control access in in idiot proof way then this is the way forward. Yes, you need to run cable but the end result is a far better system.

Excellent product ideal for the job
