TP-Link EAP613 Wireless Access Point w/o DC Adapter | Ultra-Slim | Omada True Wi-Fi 6 AX1800 | Mesh, Seamless Roaming, WPA3, MU-MIMO | Remote & App Control | PoE+ Powered | Multiple Controller Options

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've have a few tp-link Omada switches that run my home network and homelab. I have been using an Orbi mesh system in AP mode. It works great and never had issues, but I wanted to try and actual AP.At 8in, it's a little big but not too bad. It's very flat to the ceiling. The only issue with installation is the location of the Ethernet port. If you want the cable completely hidden you really need a slim Ethernet cable to go up into the ceiling, then a coupler on the cable to your run back to the switch. I recommend a 28AWG cat patch cable.It doesn't get too hot in my testing. I have a 2300sqft single story house and was able to put it almost in the middle. I have 1G Internet. The slowest speed through 4 walls, in the corner of the house is 600Mbps, which is fine. Latency is a little high at those far spots but good enough for wifi. Internally I can get 1.7Gbps using my phone which is crazy.The main takeaway here is this is a good AP for wifi 6 and you may only need one if you can get it in the center of your house.

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box.This was installed as part of an Omada deployment for a campground guest WiFi network that was replacing aging/outdated Ubiquiti equipment.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

I don't have any .ax clients yet and I mounted both the UAP-IW-HD-US and 615 APs on the same wall box with the same network. The TP Link is 50 to 100Mbps faster to my Wifi 5 clients and has better antenna coverage to my far clients in a dense wifi area.I almost bought a second UAP-IW-HD-US until I started reading around and saw the 615 is like half the cost, so I bought two. I wound up installing both 615's but it's probably overkill in my case. One 615 was connecting fine to clients that the UAP-IW-HD-US could not. The UAP-IW-HD-US's antenna coverage doesn't seem to be very good at the edges. I wonder if the metal trim on the cover has a negative impact. A lot of people like the Ubiquiti console but there isn't a compact low cost stand alone console like the Omada system offers. I haven't tried Omada cloud yet, but it looks more straight forward. I don't need Omada Cloud or controller yet as the standalone mode with the app and logging into the AP's IP works perfectly for me. I set one to 5G and the other to 2.4G.If I ever need a new wired router I will try the Omada model and the controller unless the cloud is free. Currently, I use an Ubiquiti ER-X 5 port router with the HW routing enabled and it's a great little router. After that I connect the TP-Link TL-SG2008P for my cat5 outlets and to power the 615's. I just pulled 390Mbps over the air to my 2015 MacBook Pro.The next .ax version of the Ubiquiti should be faster, but until then there are better options, and even then the price premium for Ubiquiti doesn't seem worth it unless you need that ecosystem. The 615 is fast and great for a home application like mine - love having no router around the house taking up space.Before this upgrade I had a Nest Wifi and it was fine. The Nest wound up devolving to a state where it would be so slow and it wouldn't recover without a power cycle or for many hours. I'm pretty amazed how much faster the TP link 615's are.
