TP-Link EAP235-Wall Omada AC1200 in-Wall Wireless Gigabit Access Point MU-MIMO & Beamforming PoE Powered Quick Installation SDN Integrated Cloud Access & Omada app White

Great access point and range for indoor use. The white status LED is not too bright at night and the 3 ports on the bottom are great for connecting additional devices if needed. Easy to mount to a standard single-gang electrical/data box. This was installed as part of an Omada deployment for a campground guest WiFi network that was replacing aging/outdated Ubiquiti equipment. Coupled with outdoor WiFi 6 EAP610s, these indoor units were used in trailers and campers that had weak signal from the outdoor units. Overall, these are great APs for short range needs like single rooms and small areas and works just fine. However, there is an overall flaw with all Omada APs regarding guest networking that was confirmed by TP-Link engineers that is important to note. TP-Link Omada access points of any flavor do not support Layer 2 client isolation. Even with guest network settings applied in the controller (or on the AP itself if using standalone), Layer 2 communication between clients still works despite not being able to ping those devices or reach any kind of a webpage or open port. While the guest settings do block the above types of client access, multicast packets still flow freely and everywhere. As such, our guest campground network let anyone anywhere wirelessly cast their screen via AirPlay, Google Cast, or Miracast to anyone's unsuspecting smart TV without warning. That is a huge security issue not to mention asking for problems to occur, so unfortunately I was left no choice but to return all of the Omada units and return to Ubiquiti equipment. With that being said, if that is not an issue for you, they work great in any other environment that does not require L2 isolation. they boot up incredibly quick, offer good signal and speed, and overall are a great product for the price. After escalating this issue with support, I was eventually put in touch with their engineering team running diagnostics with them and submitting Wireshark logs to get to the root of the problem. They said it would be added to a list for future firmware development, but I cannot wait for that to happen. It was upsetting to leave TP-Link because I know for a fact I would not get this kind of support with Ubiquiti (part of the reason I was trying to leave that ecosystem), but I didn't have much choice.

First, the minimal packaging was fantastic—eco-friendly and efficient. Installation and setup were a breeze, including the mesh configuration. The three Gigabit ports, including one PoE port, are a great feature. This AP solved my Wi-Fi issues without requiring an additional switch or PoE switch. Since I only needed to connect it to a Zigbee hub and a workstation, I replaced my five-port PoE switch with this AP. I simply moved the switch port to the PoE port to power the AP, and it worked perfectly.

I placed this upstairs to cover just the upstairs corner of my home. This thing puts out a wireless signal stronger than the enterprise equipment that it replaced. The enterprise equipment I had was a mixture of Cisco APs and Watchguard APs. I had them in use for a few years with adequate coverage and quality of the signal to all my devices. Eventually, the Cisco APs were starting to show their age and the Watchguard APs have built-in licenses that were set to expire. I placed this smaller device in that corner of the home to test it and it just took over the entire AP duty. I get complete coverage, more than I expected. That is in standalone mode. I purchased another one for the downstairs a couple of months later and still have not had the need to put that up because.. this thing is just rocking it. The setup was easy and all documentation is online and easy to find and understand. You can set these to be managed with an Omada controller which would help if you have multiple AP's to manage. The nice thing about the wall plate model I have is that it's slim low profile and that you can pass PoE on to nearby devices is pretty darn awesome to boot. Couple that with the abiltity to tap an ethernet jack in when needed for older devices. This is the AP most homes need.

This access point works well in a home setup. I got 3 units and a TP-Link 8-port switch (SG2008-PE with 4 POE+ ports) to power the devices. The form factor is excellent. I run a self hosted Omada software controller on a Linux VM. Did not sign-up for Omada cloud controller (even though it was offered for free, but might be an option for people who don't want to self host). Omada app on mobile is fluid. Under normal usage (AP power profile set to high) each unit consumes less than 5W. I would give it 4.5 stars because of the following reasons which are not deal breakers: - the AP performance degrades with multiple SSIDs (3 or more) configured - roaming between APs is not seamless even though the controller offers a couple of options to improve that

I don't have any .ax clients yet and I mounted both the UAP-IW-HD-US and 615 APs on the same wall box with the same network. The TP Link is 50 to 100Mbps faster to my Wifi 5 clients and has better antenna coverage to my far clients in a dense wifi area. I almost bought a second UAP-IW-HD-US until I started reading around and saw the 615 is like half the cost, so I bought two. I wound up installing both 615's but it's probably overkill in my case. One 615 was connecting fine to clients that the UAP-IW-HD-US could not. The UAP-IW-HD-US's antenna coverage doesn't seem to be very good at the edges. I wonder if the metal trim on the cover has a negative impact. A lot of people like the Ubiquiti console but there isn't a compact low cost stand alone console like the Omada system offers. I haven't tried Omada cloud yet, but it looks more straight forward. I don't need Omada Cloud or controller yet as the standalone mode with the app and logging into the AP's IP works perfectly for me. I set one to 5G and the other to 2.4G. If I ever need a new wired router I will try the Omada model and the controller unless the cloud is free. Currently, I use an Ubiquiti ER-X 5 port router with the HW routing enabled and it's a great little router. After that I connect the TP-Link TL-SG2008P for my cat5 outlets and to power the 615's. I just pulled 390Mbps over the air to my 2015 MacBook Pro. The next .ax version of the Ubiquiti should be faster, but until then there are better options, and even then the price premium for Ubiquiti doesn't seem worth it unless you need that ecosystem. The 615 is fast and great for a home application like mine - love having no router around the house taking up space. Before this upgrade I had a Nest Wifi and it was fine. The Nest wound up devolving to a state where it would be so slow and it wouldn't recover without a power cycle or for many hours. I'm pretty amazed how much faster the TP link 615's are.

This is my second EAP615-Wall. I already have Omada Controller and needed this access point to broadcast 4 different SSID's, each on its own VLAN. Omada App sees these on the network immediately and once you adopt, setting the AP is very easy. If you already have a similar device, you can even copy the configuration. These provide good coverage for one room, it does not provide signal to the upper floors like Omada ceiling units, but works great if you want to increase coverage into one room.

Great little device. I had a defunct outlet box from an old house fan speed controller right in the middle of the 2nd story hallway slightly high on the wall and went, "Hmm, I wonder if they make a hotspot that goes on a wall box." Boom, they do. It works great. I have the power dialed down slightly to where it pretty much stays within the walls of the house and works on all floors (including attic, inhabited). So, plenty of power.

My House has a lot of wall Obstructions, my Prior install had 2 TP-Link EAP225 installed 1 @ the middle of the house Up High & 1 @ the front Entry way, alothough they still work great, We have been having issues with Internet in General, So i decide its time to upgrade, I upgraded to all Cat-6 cable & newer equipment. I was trying out the newer All inone Wifi 7 Routers from TP-Link, they worked well, but due to the wall obstructions some areas of the huse still had weak signals. After alot of thought i decide to go with 4 TP-Link Wall Mount AP's, it looks more discrete and now i have Strong Signal @ all areas of my House. No Room left with a Weak Signal. Thanks TP-Link for making a Good Budget Friendly Product. Oh by way I did try like the Mesh System, and didn't work well as a wired Backhaul for my case use. TP-Link VPN ER605 is SOLID, just upgraded to the newer ER706w to add to the mix & decomishin my ER605. I wanted the upgrade to have the capabilties of the USB Storage, and now an Extra Wifi point that is built in.
