Next-Generation Performance: Your AX5400 WiFi 6 Access Point
The TP-Link Omada EAP673 is your ticket to the future of wireless connectivity. Forget slow connections and overloaded Networks. Thanks to the Wi-Fi 6 standard with 1024-QAM and a channel width of 160 MHz, this WiFi Access Point delivers breathtaking performance that effortlessly handles even the most demanding applications. Whether in a busy office, a hotel, or a warehouse – the EAP673 is designed to provide a reliable and lightning-fast connection for hundreds of devices simultaneously.
Central & Scalable: The Power of TP-Link Omada SDN
The true genius of the EAP673 is revealed in its integration into the TP-Link Omada SDN (Software-Defined Networking) ecosystem. Manage not just this one, but dozens of WiFi Access Points, Ethernet Switches, and Routers via a single, intuitive interface. Whether you use a local hardware controller, a software solution on your server, or the flexible Cloud Controller – you have full control. Features like Zero-Touch Provisioning make the setup of new locations a breeze and save valuable time and resources.
Unleash Full Speed with the 2.5G Port
What good is the fastest WiFi if the cable connection is the bottleneck? TP-Link has thought ahead and equipped the EAP673 with a 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet Port. This Multi-Gigabit connection ensures that the theoretically possible WiFi speeds actually reach the Network. In combination with a suitable Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Switch and a fast internet connection or a NAS system, you can perform data transfers in record time. The Power Supply is conveniently provided via the same cable via PoE+ (802.3at), leveraging PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
Built for Professionals: Seamless Roaming and Guest WiFi
Professional environments require professional features. The EAP673 supports Seamless Roaming (802.11k/v), allowing users with their laptops or smartphones to move freely within the building without the connection dropping. For your visitors or customers, you can quickly set up a secure Guest WiFi with a professional Captive Portal – including a voucher system, SMS authentication, or Facebook login. Thanks to WPA3 encryption, MAC address filtering, and Rogue AP Detection, your Network is optimally protected.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need a special controller to use the EAP673?
No, not necessarily. The EAP673 can be configured in standalone mode via its own web interface or the Omada App. However, for advanced functions such as central management of multiple WiFi Access Points, seamless roaming, and cloud access, a TP-Link Omada Controller (hardware, software, or cloud) is required.
Is the EAP673 suitable for home use?
Although primarily designed for business use, the EAP673 can also deliver excellent Network performance in demanding home environments, especially in large houses or with many WiFi devices. However, for simple home applications, it might be over-dimensioned.
What does the 2.5G port mean in practice?
The 2.5-Gigabit Ethernet port ensures that the high theoretical WiFi speed (over 1 Gbit/s) is not bottlenecked by a conventional 1-Gigabit LAN connection. To fully utilize this, a corresponding Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Switch and a fast internet connection or a fast local Network (NAS) are required.
Does the EAP673 support Mesh WiFi?
Yes, the EAP673 supports TP-Link Omada Mesh. This means it can wirelessly connect with other Omada Mesh-capable WiFi Access Points to extend the WiFi signal into areas without Ethernet Cabling. This requires management via an Omada Controller.
What is the difference between WPA2 and the supported WPA3?
WPA3 is the successor standard to WPA2 and offers significantly improved security. It provides better protection against brute-force attacks (password guessing) and offers more robust encryption, which is particularly important in public or security-sensitive Networks.
Can I power the Access Point with a PoE Injector?
Yes, if your Ethernet Switch does not support PoE+ (802.3at), you can use a separate 802.3at-compatible PoE Injector / Power Supply to power the WiFi Access Point via the Ethernet Cable.
