Product Information

Omada Mesh, Seamless Roaming, Captive Portal, and Cloud Access require the use of Omada SDN controllers. Please go to https://www.tp-link.com/en/omada-mesh/product-list/ to find all the models supported by Omada mesh technology, and refer to the User Guides of Omada SDN controllers for configuration methods. Flipping the board upside down has revealed the quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm IPQ6000 SoC, the 256MB of RAM from ESMT (M15T4G16256A), the 128MB of flash memory from ESMT (F59D1G81MB) and the Realtek RTL8211F highly integrated Ethernet transceiver (10/100/1000BASE-T). PoE+ Powered:Supports both Powers over Ethernet (802.3at) and DC power supply for flexible installations. Intelligent self-organization optimizes the best path between EAPs while self-healing ensures you stay online even when one AP is disrupted. Follow configuration instructions on the free Omada app to get set up in minutes. Omada lets you configure settings, monitor the network status and manage clients, all from the convenience of a smartphone or tablet.

Pharos is TP-Link's next-generation outdoor product series, providing long-range outdoor wireless networking solutions for applications such as WISP, Enterprise Bridge (P2P), and Wireless Surveillance (PtMP). TP-Link's 10G/multi-gigabit managed switches are equipped with 10 Gbps fiber, 10 Gbps copper, or 2.5 Gbps Copper ports, offering maximum performance and low latency. Reliable and lightning-fast connections to WiFi 6 access points, storage servers, and other switches and devices are easily established. Switching to the first WiFi 5 client device, the laptop equipped with the Intel 8265 adapter, the WiFi performance was very similar to that of the EAP610-Outdoors. This means that I measured 537Mbps up and 313Mbps down at 5 feet, while at 45 feet, the speed was 215Mbps upstream and 119Mbps downstream. There’s the mandatory OFDMA, MU-MIMO and Beamforming which are pretty much a standard for the WiFi 6 access points. Plus, we get support for the mesh technology, so it’s possible to add the TP-Link EAP610 to a larger mesh network. There is support for 1024QAM, but the channel bandwidth goes only up to 80MHz, which arguably is more than enough in most cases (if the WiFi is very crowded, you may even be forced to downgrade to 40MHz on the 5GHz band). TP-Link EAP610 WiFi 6 Access Point.Sure, there are some hot spots, but so far there are no signs of overheating. The top side is made of plastic (the entire device is covered by a white matte finish) and the only element that will stand out is the LED which will show the status of the AP. When the LED is turned on and solid, then the device is in working conditions, otherwise, if the LED is off, it means that the AP has encountered an error; when it’s flashing, it means that it’s upgrading the firmware.

To maximum the safety of enterprise and your home WiFi, TP-Link is inserting WPA3, the latest encryption technology, into Omada access points, WiFi routers, range extenders, and more devices.

Omada CBC v5 must use this version of Omada Discovery Utility due to the change of the inform url format. The only notable difference at the hardware level seems to be the combination of the front-end modules which probably pushed the results a bit differently. The attenuation was also not the same, so the antenna system most likely had a say about this as well. The testing procedure involves using three client devices, one is a WiFi 6 device (AX200) and two are WiFi 5 client devices (Intel 8265 and Pixel 2 XL). The TP-Link EAP610 is connected to an Ethernet switch (I still had the Zyxel XS1930 installed, so I used it in this case as well) and the client devices are connected to the 5GHz band (80mHz). TP-Link EAP610 vs Other WiFi 6 Access Points – 5GHz (80MHz) – 5 Feet – Upstream. Fixed the bug that batch IP is issued to multiple devices continuously, but not all of them are actually issued. Worried about interrupted streaming when moving?Seamless Roaming of TP-Link solves this issue! Omada access points are equipped with802.11k and 802.11v fast roaming, switchingclients automatically to the access point with the optimal signal with a seamless transition when moving.

I also noticed that the EAP610 has the same antenna gain as the EAP610-Outdoor and it’s no surprise considering that the two devices are pretty much the same, just that the latter has an IP67 case to protect the components from the weather elements. One other curiosity is that the model that I am going to test is the v2.26 and yes, the changes from the v1.0 are at the hardware-level. Some new features of the Controller require firmware upgrades to the device, the firmware for gateways will be released soon.
