Elegance Meets Performance: The WiFi Access Point for the Wall Socket
The TP-Link EAP235-Wall is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to create a professional Network infrastructure without disturbing the aesthetics of the room. Instead of setting up bulky devices, you install this WiFi Access Point directly into a wall socket. The result is a clean installation that brings powerful Dual-Band WiFi and three additional Gigabit LAN ports exactly where they are needed. Ideal for hotel rooms, conference rooms, offices, or demanding Smart Homes where both wireless and wired performance is required.
Centrally Managed with the TP-Link Omada Ecosystem
This WiFi Access Point is more than just a single device; it is part of the intelligent TP-Link Omada SDN platform. This gives you the freedom to manage your Network centrally – whether via a free software controller, a hardware controller (OC200/OC300), or entirely from the Cloud. Configure hundreds of devices, monitor Network status in real-time, and perform firmware updates with a few clicks. This scalability makes the EAP235-Wall a future-proof investment for growing Network requirements and one of the most flexible WiFi Access Points on the market.
Ingenious PoE Passthrough: One Cable, Two Devices
Reduce cable clutter to a minimum. The EAP235-Wall itself is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). The clever part: one of the downlink ports features a PoE Passthrough function. If the WiFi Access Point is powered with PoE+ (802.3at), it can power another 802.3af-compatible device, such as a VoIP phone or an IP Camera, with up to 13 watts of power. So you only need a single cable connection from the switch to the room to operate both the WiFi Access Point and another end device. For Power Supply, we recommend suitable PoE Injectors / Power Supplies from our range.
Stable WiFi for Hotel Rooms Per Room and More
The EAP235-Wall was specifically designed to ensure dedicated and reliable WiFi coverage within a room. Unlike ceiling APs that cover a wide area, this model focuses on a interference-free connection for all devices in the room. Technologies like MU-MIMO and Beamforming ensure that multiple clients are simultaneously supplied with optimal speed. Thanks to Band Steering, capable devices are automatically directed to the faster 5 GHz band, which improves the overall Network performance. This makes it the first choice for a premium WiFi for hotel rooms per room solution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is the TP-Link EAP235-Wall powered?
The EAP235-Wall is powered exclusively via Power over Ethernet (PoE) according to 802.3af or 802.3at standards. You need a PoE-enabled switch or a PoE Injector. A separate Power Supply cannot be connected.
Can I power another device with the EAP235-Wall?
Yes, one of the three downlink ports offers PoE passthrough. If the Access Point itself is powered via 802.3at (PoE+), it can power an 802.3af-compatible device like a VoIP phone with up to 13 watts of power.
Do I need an Omada Controller to use the EAP235-Wall?
No, not necessarily. The Access Point can be configured in 'Standalone Mode' via its web interface or the Omada App. However, an Omada Controller is required for advanced functions such as central management and seamless roaming.
Does the EAP235-Wall support Mesh Wi-Fi?
Yes, with current firmware, the EAP235-Wall supports Omada Mesh technology to wirelessly connect with other Omada Access Points and extend the Wi-Fi signal.
What is the difference between the EAP235-Wall and a regular Wi-Fi Router?
The EAP235-Wall is a pure Access Point that extends an existing Network with Wi-Fi. It requires a Router for functions like IP address assignment. A Wi-Fi Router is an all-in-one device that combines a Router, Switch, and Access Point.
Is the EAP235-Wall suitable for gaming?
Yes, it is well-suited for gaming, especially due to its three Gigabit LAN ports, which enable a stable, wired connection with low latency. The Wi-Fi performance is also very good for gaming in the same room.
