TP-Link EAP660 HD | Omada WiFi 6 AX3600 Wireless 2.5G Access Point for High-Density Deployment | OFDMA, Mesh, Seamless Roaming & MU-MIMO | SDN Integrated | Cloud Access & Omada App | PoE+ Powered

These are good small business raps and more affordable than the ubiquitous ubiquiti kits. Note they are larger and less attractive than the latter for home use. Fine to conceal in closets etc.

I have 2 different tp link access points. I love these.They come with a good deal of pro setup options and are still extremely easy to set up. They also offer free controller setup that can be run on a spare machine ( or in my case a raspbery pi ). Having the controller makes connecting more access points easy as can be. Honestly if someone was doing wide scale deployment a controller would by far be the best route.

Works well and was easy enough to set up. I wish it had the function that I could set it to stop broadcasting a signal at night.

I purchased this for my home. I am no stranger to network infrastructure as that is my profession so this was very easy to setup and get working. Plenty of options for tweaking where needed. The WiFi signal could be a big stronger, I have seen other models from TP link perform better through drywall than this device but setup in a proper mesh environment and there is no issues. One of the cons I can say is thag I do need to reboot this device about once a month because WiFi will just drop and come to a crawl but after reboot it works perfectly fine.

Update: 12-19-19 The EAP225 V3 is still going strong. But Ive added another Access Point (AP) to extend the range of my separate Smart Things network. This time I bought the N300, which is the EAP115. There are some major differences between the two and I listed them below. EAP115 (N300) - - This AP is Wireless N (n,b,g) only, so no 5GHz, it only has the 2.4GHz channel. For Smart Devices (IOT) its perfect. -The LAN port going in is 100Mbps instead of the 1,000Mbps (Gigabit) port on the 225 - It does NOT come with the PoE injector. This device will work with PoE (Power over Ethernet) but youd need your own injector or PoE switch - the 225 comes with said injector. Original Review of EAP 225 (AC1350) I use this AP mainly as my Smart Things Access Point but also to extend my 5ghz wifi for my phones etc. If you are somewhat tech savvy this is a no brainer. If you arent, then just read and watch some videos before purchasing and everything should still go smoothly. I struggle when it gets around the time I feel I need to buy and/or replace/upgrade my router. With new high end routers going for $400 - $600 I always end up going down the rabbit hole and stress about buying something at the wrong time, or worry about getting stuck with a new piece of tech that has a crap chip in it, or bad software. So I decided to just grab this AP during black Friday (for $45) and use it to hold me over. I was definitely not disappointed. You can install these anywhere you want, and even install them like a smoke detector (since it can run without an outlet, when using PoE). That is what I did at first and it worked great. It comes with an injector for PoE, so even if you dont have a PoE switch you are safe and wont have to spend any more money. For those that dont know PoE is simply Power over Ethernet. It is something that allows devices, like this and other things, to get their power directly from the Ethernet cable. This means you dont need to run a separate power cord as well as an Ethernet cable to it to use it. It also doesnt take a special Ethernet cable to do so either. But it does take an injector (that has an Ethernet input from your router or switch, and outputs a powered Ethernet line) or a PoE switch. I originally installed this in my garage (as pictured) and used it to boost both my 2.4 and 5 signals. Setting it up with the same SSIDs and passwords. Working out how to get the handover to my main router took only a little while. I used the web based interface and was able to set the strength (power level of the antennas) of the signals to the right point for each one so that my main router would take over once I was halfway through the house. That worked remarkably well, until I finally decided on a new router. By the time I bought the new router I had also purchased a bunch of smart wifi devices. So I now use this as the access point for them (on the 2.4 GHz) and only use the 5 GHz to extend the range for my other devices. This device is able to setup multiple SSIDs and I am using a different SSID for the 2.4 (and am keeping it isolated to protect my home devices) but I am using the same for the 5 GHz and only allow the phones and tablets (devices that arent in a fixed place) to connect to it. Im a fairly trust worthy person, but would rather play it safe with my WiFi IoT stuff. So this is a wonderful solution for that problem. Update: 8 months later and its still going strong. 3 2.4 SSIDs setup and over 20 wifi smart things connected. With load balancing, QOS and rate limiting Ive been able to control all of it. I added a second pic with my speeds on 5GHz wifi (limited by my phones antenna) and its as good as my router.

I initially bought EAP610s thinking that since the advertised WiFi 5 speeds were about a gigabit that would be a good match for my home. To my surprise, I could only pull off about 400-500Mbps with those APs on my 2019 Macbook Pro. I researched a bit and found that the Macbook pro supports 3x3 streams while the EAP610 only supports 2x2. So, I thought Id give the EAP660 a try, since that has 4x4. Theoretically it should be able to give me 750Mbps, right? Wrong. Though it was faster, it was only negligibly so: about 500-600Mbps. I dont think the extra $80 per AP is worth it for that small increase, especially since my next Macbook Pro will only support 2x2 (M1 hardware) and should get equivalent speeds on both APs, since both support 802.11ax.

Ive been using a flaky netgear ex3700 for a year which was a total mistake. This product works fantastic with all my devices and I look forward to doing more smart-home stuff with this.

Maybe its my technical IT inabilities but I couldnt get this product to work in the house. It was difficult to install and the set up was a monster - after installing I couldnt get the modem to connect to the device.

I have a couple of these around my house and my Wi-Fi is rock solid for my more than 80 Wi-Fi devices. Set up is easy, and managing multiple APs with the Omada Controller is a snap.

TP-Link makes some great, affordable products and this is definitely one of them. This was very easy to set up and provides a wide range of signal for both 2.4 and 5. I am very satisfied with the AP and recommend this product.
