TP-Link Omada WiFi 6 Wireless Access Point - AX3000 Dual Band

I just wanted a simple guest network for my kiddo and guests to use with my leased Xfinity Innomedia MTA6328 box and couldn't find any coherent advice whether this would be possible or compatible nor any advice what to buy. After struggling 6 hours unsuccessfully then returning a new WAS210 then unsuccessfully trying an old EX7000 I bought and tried this TP-link EAS650. It took literally 20 minutes to configure and install without experiencing a single obnoxious timeout! A single 650 in a corner of the house next to the modem now covers the entire 1300sqft 3br 3ba 2 story townhouse with a separate guest network to replace the beyond awful unreliable marketing "hotspot" built into my leased Xfinity/Comcast box. https://tp-linkeap.net did not connect to the config page for configuration, so I had to use the Xfinity app on my phone to find the DHCP assigned IP address to use to setup the 650. I ignored the Quick Setup pamphlet which was useless and did not even mention Guest mode, and the QR videos which I couldn't access, I used "standalone mode" to configure the 650 without using any controller and without any Omada App and without bridge mode. I have the Network ID and pw set the same for both frequencies and guest mode is turned on for both frequencies. Devices on the 650 see the internet but cannot seem to see each other nor see any resources connected to the Xfinity box upstream of the 650 which is exactly what I want on for security on the guest nw. The Xfinity box speed is 1.3Gb download/100Mbps up. My cellphone on the 650 from the opposite corner of the house gets 350Mbps download / 40up even when my son is gaming. I should now be able to watch streaming movies in a lounge chair at the pool downstairs while sipping Margaritas!!! :P Thank you for a fabulous product and a wonderful configuration experience TP-Link I wish I could give you more than 5 stars!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

For my home, I prefer a traditional access point connected via Ethernet to a stand-alone wired router rather than an integrated consumer appliance. After 5 years with WiFi-5, it was time to upgrade to WiFi-6. The EAP650 supports that newer standard, providing an improvement in overall performance. In use, it has been completely reliable, with no slowdowns or lagging. Provides a strong signal throughout the house. Supports VLANs, and multiple SSIDs on each frequency band. Easy to configure using a web browser. Firmware can be updated through the UI without needing to download the file to a PC first. Very nice.

I have the whole Omada setup (router, controller, POE switch, and 3 Access points (well now 4)). I basically had an AP on every floor of my 2 story house with a basement. I had one slight coverage hole in my sun room extending out to my deck. I could still get access, but it would continually switch betwen 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz bands, so when I was outside or in the sun room I'd have to lock my device into 2.4ghz and it would work fine. I decided it was time to add WIFI 7 with Tri-band to my network and move one of the old AP's to the sun room. It was as easy as ordering the wifi 7 AP and plugging it in and adopting it. Work perfect out of the box within 5 minutes it was up and working. I then relocated my older wifi 6 dual band device into my sun room. Now I have great coverage throughout my whole house with 5GHz. Only my phone supports wifi 7 tri band today. It is really nice, fast and I can roam the whole house without wifi call drops now. Overall I generally stay one or 2 levels behind the current, but this was a great add, gave me really good value to fill a gap in my wifi. Setup and controls are super easy to use, I'm pretty much out of POE capacity, but I was originally planning for 4 AP's so it's all good. It's nice to have solid reliable signal strength through the whole house and even extended to the outside living spaces now. It will probably take me 2-4 more years to replace all my ap's with Wifi 7, but right now it's a minimal value since most of my devices are still older wifi 6.

These are well worth the money. It solved my overloaded wifi problem. I have 91 IoT and other electronic devices. I use three of these to balance the load and surround my living area in a cocoon of wifi. It solved my random IoT dropouts and congestion issues. I recommend that you get application suggestions from ChatHPT or Claude AI if you have never turned off a router's standard wifi and set up wifi access points. The Omada Control software used lets you customize power levels and wifi settings to optimize your system. For the price, it is a real buy that did away with all of the mysterious wifi issues that I have ever had. But do keep in mind that if you haven't used access points before you will need to do some reading or get an AI advisor like I did. Now I can simply occasionally review my wifi clients and quickly head off anything that looks like it might turn into a problem. I give this 5 big golden stars.

The unit itself is fine. Strong signal, clear instructions, etc. However, I was clearly sent a returned item. Several pieces of the waterproofing kit were missing, and the unit had a non-default admin password (i.e., someone had already set it up), requiring a hard reset. I don't mind gently returned items, it keeps things out of the landfills, but they should either be fully checked to ensure they include ALL accessories, or they should be priced commiserate with their used condition. As an FYI for anyone setting up a roaming mesh for your home or business: the Omada software is freely available for docker and works beautifully to configure and coordinate multiple Omada-compatible devices like the 650 and 610 series APs.

I had been planning on upgrading my home Wi-Fi, I have two access points in the house and one in the shed in the back. I'm using a power over Ethernet multi gig switch and the omada controller, being able to control the Wi-Fi from anywhere is fantastic, we never lose signal and have excellent coverage using the roaming feature of the device. We have a ton of connected devices and gigabit data, most devices can pull 600-700 Mbps with very low ping so the speed is solid. Their app is great and full of features. I had some issues with being connected to the wrong access point in the beginning and very unstable connections, but I reached out to customer service and I love that they were able to remote into my cloud controller and fix what I screwed up, now the stability is perfect. I recommend this brand without question

Running a pair of these TP-Link EAP770 WiFi 7 access points in my home, one upstairs and one downstairs, and the coverage has been excellent. Between the two of them, I get strong signal throughout the entire house with no dead zones to speak of. Roaming between the two access points has been seamless, with devices handing off cleanly without dropping connections. WiFi 7 performance lives up to expectations. Speeds on capable client devices are noticeably faster than the WiFi 6 access points I had before, and the tri-band setup helps keep the network responsive even with a lot of devices connected. The 2.5G uplink port is the right choice here since it lets the access point actually deliver the bandwidth that WiFi 7 is capable of. PoE+ powering keeps the install clean. One cable handles both data and power, which means no wall warts hanging off the access points. The DC adapter is included in the box for anyone who needs it, but PoE is the way to go if your network supports it. Omada integration is the real strength here for anyone already running Omada gear. Configuration through the controller is straightforward, and managing two access points feels like managing one. Captive portal, WPA3, mesh, and the rest of the business features are all there if you want to use them. Build quality looks appropriate for ceiling or wall mounting and the access points are reasonably low profile once installed. The five year warranty is reassuring for a piece of equipment expected to run around the clock. For anyone looking to upgrade to WiFi 7 in an Omada based network, these are a strong choice that should serve well for years to come.

The unit performs fabulously. Configuration is frustrating. The instructions are really no help. You have to know what you are doing. I hope this will help others. I wanted this unit to "repeat" my wireless network, not extend it with a different SSID. To do that you have to be able to configure it in the Standard mode. What I did was plug it into my existing network with a cat5 cable. Then I searched the network to find out what IP it gave the unit. That part may be hard for some. The way I did it was I used my Google Home app to look at my wifi network and it listed all the devices that were connected. I found the name EAP650 so I knew I was home free. Once I got the IP I was able to go to my desktop computers browser, enter the IP and hit the configuration page. Login with admin admin. Change the username and password "required". Use standard setup. Chooses Repeater mode. Scan for your network SSID. Login to your network. Then, DON'T MISS THE CHECKBOX FOR COPY EXISTSING SSID". It wants you to configure and extended network if you don't check that small box. After that unplug it from your network. When you plug it back in outside its a repeater. I can walk down the block and still connect. It's pretty darn impressive.

Long range!

Alhamdulillah this device is very good and original device.

A svelte upgrade from a 670 or older. It has a newer backplate with hole alignment with the older backplate.

Set up was a little confusing reading the directions. But after installing the app and following step-by-step, it was easy to figure out. The AX 3000 EPA 650 outdoor once installed works amazing. My outdoor Wi-Fi went from 25 MB to over 700 MB. After it was all connected. Make sure to do your research to see if this will work for you. It is a good product and provides great wifi signal where needed. I noticed that any trees or other obstructions very quickly reduce the signal. So make sure you place it in an area that will offer the best coverage.

Me han endulzado la vida literalmente. Gracias por hacerme llegar el punto de acceso Eap650-outdoor. Con este equipo tengo planeado llevar el internet por wifi a una distancia muy considerable de mi casa, calculo 100 mts. Pronto actualizaré está publicación para hacer una reseña más extensa y algunas fotos de la implementación.
