TP-Link EAP620 HD | Omada WiFi 6 AX1800 Wireless Gigabit Access Point for High-Density Deployment | OFDMA, Mesh, Seamless Roaming & MU-MIMO | SDN Integrated | Cloud Access & Omada App | PoE+ Powered

I gave up waiting for other more established 802.11 equipment manufacturers to deliver Wi-Fi 6 devices that didn't break the bank. As a network engineering veteran with 20+ years experience in an enterprise environment, I tend to have pretty high standards for the feature sets in equipment I recommend for home use, small businesses, etc. and don't believe that one should have to pay an enterprise premium for a network with just 1-2 small devices in it. The TP-Link EAP620 HD certainly lived up to expectations.Installing a single one is a breeze - no controller is needed, the settings are self-explanatory, and everything I needed to migrate from an older 802.11ac access point with multiple SSIDs (separate wireless LANS, in my case each mapping to different VLANs), with the existing cabling and power-over-Ethernet+ (PoE+, 802.3at) configuration, etc. worked perfectly on the first try. Mounting it in the ceiling is fairly easy, although I might have preferred a solid metal mounting plate vs. the washers this one came with; still, it's a very sturdy mount and wasn't difficult to install even with an insulated attic above the ceiling.I have yet to spend much time with an Omada controller configuration and multiple access points, but everything I've seen so far suggests that it's at least as friendly as competing offerings that use controllers. I'm sure that true enterprise-grade devices from companies like Cisco, Juniper, HPE Aruba, etc. would outperform this configuration in an environment with hundreds of access points, thousands of users, and constant client device roaming, but for an office of modest size - say 20 or fewer access points - Omada should work just fine. I especially like how I have a multitude of controller options, from dedicated hardware appliances to software virtual machines to OCI ("Docker") containers to a pay-as-you-go cloud offering. This flexibility further expands the potential market for TP-Link going forward.Time will tell if this unit lasts as long as previous "not-so-SOHO" gear did, but if initial impressions are any indication, I expect to be very happy with my home Wi-Fi performance for many years.Succinctly: there are very few other devices I know of that can compete with the ease of use, performance, and expandability of the TP-Link EAP620 AP at this competitive a price point.

We purchased 3 of these units to have proper coverage through our 2-level plus full basement home, and found that we only needed 2 units to achieve that goal.Management takes a little learning (minimal) but overall a great product and seamless for home that and small business with some nice Enterprise-like features on competitive known brand name Access-Points.

I upgraded from a Tenda wireless mesh system to these EAP620s and, so far, it’s been a huge improvement. These wired access points are much better than any wireless extenders I’ve ever used before. I was having issues with Zoom meetings and VOIP calls and now everything runs very smoothly. I love that these are PoE capable because I just ran Ethernet throughout my attic so I could drill holes in the ceiling next to the EAP620s and didn’t have to plug them in to an outlet.I had absolutely no experience doing anything like this before but, after some research, it was an easy process that anyone who can navigate an attic could handle.My only complaint is that these are much bigger than I thought they would be. They’re about as wide as an average sized paper plate but having them on the ceiling is absolutely worth it for the much better network.

We purchased these for home use as other options were out of stock at the time. These have worked perfectly for us providing a stable wifi connection for all of our home devices and allowing us to work from home with better wifi coverage by keep an AP at each end of the house.

To be transparent, my company is an authorized TP-Link reseller, and we can get these through our supply channel. I didn't feel like messing with that, and unless we put in a big order, Amazon has the lowest prices. I've installed these at warehouses, hotels, manufacturing plants, and many businesses. I don't even have this thing mounted correctly yet, and I get a stronger signal from this in the basement than I do the router right above me (router is on the first floor, this WAP is on the second floor, sitting on a table, pointing up). I'm waiting until it gets a little cooler in the attic to mount this properly.I use the TP-Link controller software on my computer. If had had more than a few, I'd put in the OC200 cloud controller, but the software version will do fine. Having AT&T 4G internet, I need to limit the three teenagers from using 1TB a month of data. I can have multiple wireless networks and limit the download/upload speeds. I can hide my unthrottled network and my home automation network while letting the kids see the normal wifi. When they really download a lot, I can block access by device. Need 40GB of Xbox updates? Nope! Blocked! Go take that to your real dad's house that has good coax internet.This isn't as simple as your Spectrum wifi where the password is posted on the back, but the features are amazing. I'm an IT professional, so keeping the firmware updated and tweaking the settings are not an issue. Yes, this is meant for airports, hotels, and businesses. The price point says that; however, if you struggle with wifi signal in some parts of your hours, this thing is powerful enough to have you covered.

The range of this guy is impressive. Goes through a thicker wall better than the previous generation. Better/stronger signal.It’s a bit cumbersome to try and make a mesh network with this guy though. You’d need a dedicated server and to download the tp link server. Or alternatively buy a specific tp link device to manage it.If you only need one you’ll be good not much to do and just a small amount of options but overall very user friendly to set up
