Omada WiFi 7 Wireless Access Point | BE11000 Tri-Band | 10G Port | Business Standard | Seamless Roaming | Easy Setup | 5-Year Warranty | Omada Remote Managed(EAP773)

I had an older TP-Link WiFi 6 device mounted on the ceiling using PoE. After several years (and a nearby lightning strike which also took out the router it was connected to) it failed to power up so I bought the newer model. The BE11000 is a significant improvement. Signal strength is very good, on the 5GHz and 6GHz channels I easily get 1Gbps speeds until I go to the far sides of the house and even there it's usually around 500 to 600Mbps. The 2.4GHz is slower, but all of my IoT devices connect to it and work just fine. I use the standalone web interface to configure it, it works great and is easy to use. I have separate SSIDs for guests and my IoT devices. By the way, I found that the older device, a TP-Link EAP660 HD, works if I plug in the power supply (instead of using PoE), so I now have that in my office area where I don't need to use the PoE.

This access point completely transformed my network. The performance improvement was immediate — faster speeds, lower latency, and much more stable connections across all devices. Coverage is excellent, even in areas that used to have weak signal. With WiFi 7, everything just feels smoother and more responsive. If you’re serious about your network, this is absolutely worth it. It took my setup to a whole different level.

The TP-Link Omada WiFi 7 BE11000 Access Point is great. I upgraded from WiFi 5 and the difference is night and day. The speeds are incredibly fast and consistent across all my devices, even when multiple people are streaming or gaming at the same time. Setup through the Omada controller was simple, and integration with the rest of my network was seamless. The build quality feels decent. I’m also impressed with the range one access point easily covers most of my house with strong, stable signal. Highly recommend for anyone who wants top tier speed and reliability.

Easy to install and provides very quick WiFi 7 speed. Very good range and value with no dropouts in my house. Would recommend.

After having this AP for eight months, it is now disconnecting frequently from the switch and router. If you do not have other Omada network equipment, this is not for you.

During long operation it DOES feel hot, but i haven't noticed any performance issues, so guess it's engineered to work under those conditions. One user who opened it saw there was no fan, so it's passively cooled. I came from a Ubiquiti ecosystem for managing unifi ap. So i wasn't sure what to expect for Omada. But i'm glad to report it worked quite well. I self host the omada controller via docker container on truenas via jailmaker. Works fine on the latest beta. The mobile app is also handy. You can manage this ap a few ways. Stand alone without any sort of controller, basically it's accessed via a webui in browser and also mobile app; Or cloud (which i'm not a fan of); or via controller (either hardware or self hosted software. i recommend the later). Out of these i recommend the controller because you get access fully to all options/features. 2nd recommandation is stand alone mode if you run a single ap and don't want to have any extra hardware running just to manage the ap. I couldn't test the wifi7. But wifi 6e and 6ghz works good. *update Samsung S24 Ultra now properly supports wifi7 6ghz channel band, 320mhz width. So i ran some tests. 5meters in direct line of sight, i got 1200-2000 Mbps @ 10-15meters with 1-2 walls between the ap and client device, it switches to 5ghz channel band. speeds were 300-350 mbps coverage using a single ap should be able to handle a small 2 story home. But if you are expecting 1000-2000 Mbps using wif7 6ghz, 320mhz, then you need - multiple aps to spread them out in different rooms for direct line of sight (maybe change the rssi to a lower setting to account for using multiple aps). set them in Mesh mode. - have a client device that supports 6ghz 320mhz (my Samsung s24 ultra smartphone does) If you want speeds exceeding 2000 Mbps, the EAP-873 might be able to. But if you want something for 1000-2000 Mbps that doesn't cost as much, then EAP-773 is fine as your entry point into wifi7.

I got the EAP773 (BE11000). It has a 10Gbps Ethernet port, and it does not come with a power adapter. And I also got the TP-Link TL-SX105 10Gb Ethernet Switch, to work with this Access Point EAP773. Well, the Switch does not supply power. So now I have to hunt down a 12V power adapter from a third party. You know how it can go: even if I get an adapter specifically for the EAP773, and it fries the Access Point, the adapter company is going to say: you should check your specs. And TP-Link could say: you should check with that company. Plus, the adapter won't get delivered until 7 days later, and the total cost would be $20 because there is a $6.50 delivery fee. That's like a 7 day delay in setting up my network. So I can't TP-Link will save $5 for the power adapter, leaving the customer hunting for a power adapter, when its Ethernet Switch doesn't supply the POE power.

If you have an Omada controller - either a VM/LXC or hardware device, super easy to adopt and get up and running. It is quite large - the size of a large dinner plate. It isn't small and discrete like some of the Aruba and Ubiquti devices that are out there, but other than that, it's been it's been great. If you just want a stand-alone Wifi 7 AP, you're better off going with a more consumer level product. If you want VLANs, and a powerful device that can support lots of devices, frequencies and SSIDs, then you can't go wrong with it. If I hadn't run the wire to my main floor closet but into the ceiling of my main floor, I'd be getting near gigabit speeds with unobstructed line of site.
