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 This was installed as part of an Omada deployment for a campground guest WiFi network that was replacing aging/outdated Ubiquiti equipment.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

eap facil instalacion, discreto y practico, facil manejo gracias a omada

Good quality

(reseña para EAP235-Wall) Compré dos de estos aparatos para extender el Wi-Fi a las recámaras que están al extremo opuesto del router donde llega el internet. Anteriormente había usado repetidores que usan la línea eléctrica (incluso de la misma marca TP-LINK), pero siempre se desconectaban o fallaba la conexión. Aproveché que me mudé a un lugar nuevo para hacer esta instalación. Sí es más elaborado que los repetidores porque requiere lanzar cables de Ethernet (aproveché los ductos de la pared que ya existían), pero una vez armado queda muy elegante y discreto, además de dar internet de alta velocidad. Es importante notar que tienes que comprar por separado un injector PoE para darle energía a los access points. Y en mi caso, también compré un extensor PoE de 1 entrada a 2 salidas para cablear el segundo access point. Todo eso se consigue desde aquí en Amazon. La descripción del producto dice que está pensado para hacer la instalación del internet de un hotel o lugares similares, pero creo que es excelente opción para uso residencial. No me metí con VLANs ni nada de eso. Sólo le configuré el mismo SSID que el router para extender el internet por toda la casa.

Tut was es soll.

This WAP fits the bill perfectly - it looks great and works really well.
