AX3000 WiFi 6: Performance for the Highest Business Demands
The TP-Link EAP650 is not just another WiFi Access Point – it's your upgrade to the next level of wireless connectivity. With the latest WiFi 6 standard (802.11ax), it delivers breathtaking speeds and efficiency that leave older standards far behind. Technologies like OFDMA and MU-MIMO enable it to serve dozens of devices simultaneously without performance degradation. Whether for demanding video conferences in the office, data-intensive cloud applications, or a smooth guest WiFi Network – this AP ensures a stable and lightning-fast connection you can rely on.
Centralized Management Made Easy with Omada SDN
Forget the tedious configuration of individual devices. The EAP650 is an integral part of the TP-Link Omada ecosystem. This Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform integrates all your Omada-enabled devices such as WiFi Access Points, Ethernet Switch models, and Routers into a single, intuitive interface. Manage your entire Network centrally via the Cloud, a local Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300), or free software. Zero-Touch Provisioning makes setting up new APs a breeze, and intelligent Network monitoring helps you proactively identify and solve problems.
Designed for High-Density Environments
Open-plan offices, schools, hotels, or event venues place special demands on a WiFi Network. The EAP650 was designed precisely for this. With a theoretical capacity for over 250 clients and intelligent functions such as Band Steering, Load Balancing, and Airtime Fairness, the Network load is optimally distributed. Band Steering automatically directs dual-band-capable devices to the faster 5 GHz band, while Airtime Fairness prevents slow devices from slowing down the entire Network. The result is consistently high performance for every single user, even at maximum utilization.
Flexible, Secure, and Discreet in Design
The EAP650 impresses not only with its inner values. Its ultra-slim, compact housing allows for discreet ceiling or wall mounting (Mounting Systems) that seamlessly blends into any modern environment. Installation is maximally simplified by supporting 802.3at PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) (PoE Injectors / Power Supplies), as only a single Network cable (Cabling) is required for data and power. For maximum security, state-of-the-art encryption standards up to WPA3-Enterprise, a secure guest Network with Captive Portal, VLAN support, and the ability to create up to 16 different SSIDs ensure clean separation of Network traffic.
