TP-Link EAP245 V3 | Omada AC1750 Gigabit Wireless Access Point | Business WiFi Solution w/ Mesh Support, Seamless Roaming & MU-MIMO | PoE Powered | SDN Integrated | Cloud Access & Omada App | White

I am honestly not sure why these are so highly rated. I have used different manufactures but never TPLink this are not good. They sort of work as basic APs as they provide wireless but that is about it. They are not really configurable and seem to have an issue with VPN connectivity (pay attention at home workers). I had these placed throughout the house direct connected back to a TP link POE switch connected to an ARRIS modem outer. That all worked but in stand alone mode the radios conflicted and I could not get a reliable VPN connection back to work. I thought it may be Pulse VPN so I went to work and checked the logs and there were drops from the client side meaning that it was my home connection. I thought the radio conflict may be the issue with VPN so I set up the Omada controller on a desktop so the APs could see each other and work in tandem. Still the same issue. VPN would connect but drop constantly. I checked to see if it may be an issue with the MTU settings but I could not find that setting on the APs and I tried adjusting the settings on the ARRIS. I thought the issue may be with ARRIS ModeWIFI router so I took the TP Link APs off line and used the WIFI through the ARRIS router and everything worked and the VPN stayed up with no issues. Why even use the APs? You ask. Large house and the signal from the ARRIS dies at the far end so I tried a business class solution. Bottom line is TP LInk is garbage. Ubiquity is a better system and is worth the extra money. If you are trying to set up a system that can handle devices using VPN get Ubiquity or a whole home Mesh system. Ubiquity, Netgear are two better that will blow TPLink away. Walk away you will not be disappointed you passed on these.

For my setup 1x OC200, 1x EAP225, 1x EAP245 This is what you would expect from a pro-sumer / small business controller. Much better than consumer class access points and very good with the OC200 controller Functionality is based on the software which has periodic updates. I use it with an OC200 and one other Omada access point. Total price for my setup is cheaper than the high end consumer routers but I suspect the performance is much better (no drop outs, more access points with roaming so better coverage etc). While this isnt Cisco, its a significant step up.

Was very easy to setup. Just downloaded the app on my phone, plugged the injector into my switch, then plugged the access point into the port and I was up and running. Very easy to configure the SSID in the app (dont pick controller, pick the icon that looks like the access point). The 5ghz radio is much stronger than the ubiquity access point this replaced. Would definitely purchase again!

It took my tech-savvy boyfriend about 2 hours to set this up with my xfinity internet, but the wifi signal in previous dead zones of my house is fantastic now.

Ive purchased 2 of these and have had great success with them. Good signal coverage and easy to set up.

The best thing that TP-Link has is the customer service. It doesnt matter how many times you have to call they will always be there to help you out with your issues. Range of signal is excellent. The only thing that I fix in this item is the wifi interruptions diagnosis tool. Everything else is amazing

I bought the AC1750 two pack to extend the wireless signal through out my house. My current tri-band router which is in the basement just wasnt giving good signal on the second floor and with two of us working from home it was becoming an issue. I installed one of these in the basement below the living room and the other in the hall on the second floor. I used the Omada software (free to download) on an existing media server. Setup was painless one time through to put in all of the SSIDs, passwords and make a group. Then just add the APs to the group and you are done. Very easy. They have been in use for two weeks now. Streaming video, WiFi calling, video conferencing, and your standard internet fare all work flawlessly. No bandwidth issues what so ever with two people using five device and streaming audio. Signal strength is very good. I get a connection in my garage which is over 50 away from the house. Granted the speed is slower but thats to be expected at that range with brick walls between. Speed within the house itself is stellar with device speeds coming higher than my better rated tri-band router. I have installed and supported APs from Zyxel, Netgear, Ubiquiti, and Cisco. These TP-link Omada APs are easily some of the best I have worked with to date. Highly recommend.

Not a networking person but I will say this was an easy installation. Opened box, connected to an available POE port on a remote switch, logged in to the unit, changed user/PW, changed SSID and I was done!!! 2.5 Ghz band is better than -40 all over my 2000 square foot shop.

I bought this to upgrade my home WiFi, because my existing WiFi router could not be centrally located (due to wiring). I installed this high in my attic at the center of my single story home. The included POE adapter allowed me to complete the install using only a single network cable (which I already had in my attic). Once I set it up, I shut down my routers WiFi, and now I have a strong (and very fast) WiFi signal throughout my home and even outside. I discovered that my dual-band cell phones would automatically connect to the strongest signal, so I had to reduce the transmit power on 2.6 Ghz just a bit to force them to connect on the faster 5 Ghz band. Even with that adjustment, the 2.6 Ghz signal is more than adequate for all my legacy single band devices. This is a great access point. I have been using it for a couple of months with absolutely NO problems - highly recommend!

Some basic Wifi knowledge is needed, but I never touched mine since after day1. This unit is very stable and I do recommend it !
