Your WiFi knows no more limits: The EAP650-Outdoor
No more weak signal on the patio or in the garden. The TP-Link EAP650-Outdoor was specifically designed to bring High-Speed Wi-Fi 6 to where you really need it – outdoors. Whether for a private pool area, a cafe with outdoor seating, or an expansive company premises: Thanks to its extremely robust design and advanced wireless technology, this WiFi Access Point ensures a stable and fast connection, even under the harshest conditions. Setup is incredibly simple, and integration into existing Networks, for example via professional Ethernet Switch solutions, is a breeze.
IP68 Certification: More than just weatherproof
While many outdoor devices advertise IP65 or IP67, the EAP650-Outdoor goes a crucial step further. The IP68 certification means that the housing is not only protected against dust and strong water jets but also withstands continuous submersion. Combined with 6KV Lightning Protection and 15KV ESD protection, this AP is an absolutely secure investment for year-round operation. Extreme temperatures from -30 °C to 70 °C also cannot harm it.
Wi-Fi 6 Performance that excels outdoors
With the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard (802.11ax), you are prepared for the future. The EAP650-Outdoor utilizes technologies such as OFDMA and 2x2 MU-MIMO to drastically increase efficiency and data throughput in environments with many end devices. A special highlight is the support for 160 MHz channel width (HE160), which doubles the theoretical speed on the 5 GHz band. This means demanding applications like 4K video streaming or online gaming outdoors are no longer a problem.
Flexible and scalable with TP-Link Omada SDN
This WiFi Access Point is part of the intelligent TP-Link Omada ecosystem. This gives you the choice: Operate it either in the uncomplicated standalone mode via the web interface or unleash its full potential by integrating it into the Omada Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform. Manage hundreds of Access Points, Switches, and Routers centrally via a single controller – by hardware, software, or directly from the cloud. Features such as seamless roaming, a captive portal for guests, and the ingenious Omada Mesh technology for wireless expansion of your Network are thus available to you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the TP-Link EAP650-Outdoor suitable for use in a home garden?
Yes, absolutely. Thanks to its extremely robust IP68 rating, it is ideal for private gardens, terraces, or pool areas. The flexible Power Supply via the included PoE adapter simplifies installation even for home users, making it a great WiFi Access Point solution.
What range can I expect from the EAP650-Outdoor?
TP-Link states a theoretical range of over 200 meters in the 2.4 GHz band and over 300 meters in the 5 GHz band, based on field tests. However, the actual range depends heavily on environmental factors such as obstacles and radio interference, affecting the overall Network performance.
Do I need to buy a special PoE Switch for operation?
Not necessarily. The EAP650-Outdoor supports both the 802.3at PoE+ standard and 48V passive PoE. A suitable passive PoE Injector is included in the scope of delivery, so you can operate it with a normal non-PoE Ethernet Switch.
What is the difference between IP67 and IP68 for this device?
While some retailers specify IP67, the official TP-Link website confirms the higher protection class IP68. IP67 guarantees protection against temporary immersion, while IP68 offers protection against continuous immersion, which means even greater resistance for your Network equipment.
Can I connect multiple EAP650-Outdoor devices to increase the range?
Yes, using 'Omada Mesh' technology, multiple EAPs can be wirelessly connected to extend the WiFi signal. However, this requires management via an Omada SDN Controller, enhancing your overall Network coverage with these WiFi Access Points.
What does 'AX3000' mean and can I achieve this speed?
'AX3000' is a marketing designation composed of the maximum data rates of both frequency bands (approx. 2402 Mbps at 5 GHz + 574 Mbps at 2.4 GHz). A single end device cannot achieve this combined speed, as it connects to only one band at a time, but it signifies the high-performance capabilities of this WiFi Router for your Network.
