AC1350 Dual-Band Wi-Fi
The EAP225 provides simultaneous dual-band wireless connectivity:
- 5GHz: Up to 867Mbps
- 2.4GHz: Up to 450Mbps
These theoretical PHY rates produce a combined wireless class of AC1350. Actual throughput is affected by client capability, RF interference, channel utilization, distance, network traffic and environmental conditions.
802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO
The EAP225 supports 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO technology, allowing the access point to communicate with multiple compatible wireless clients simultaneously.
This makes the EAP225 suitable for environments where multiple users are connected at the same time, including offices, classrooms, hotels, restaurants and retail locations.
Gigabit Ethernet and PoE
The EAP225 includes one Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port for its wired network connection.
The Ethernet interface supports:
- IEEE 802.3af/at PoE
- 24V Passive PoE
This allows network data and power to be delivered through a single Ethernet cable, making ceiling installation easier and reducing the requirement for a separate power outlet near the access point.
A passive PoE adapter is included with the EAP225.
Omada SDN Centralized Management
The EAP225 is part of the TP-Link Omada SDN platform. Compatible controllers allow administrators to centrally configure, monitor and manage multiple Omada access points and other network devices.
Management options include:
- Omada Hardware Controller OC200
- Omada Hardware Controller OC300
- Omada Software Controller
- Omada Cloud-Based Controller on supported hardware revisions
- Omada App
- Web-based management
- SNMP
- SSH
- Local and remote Syslog
Cloud controller and Zero-Touch Provisioning availability varies by hardware revision. TP-Link India specifically lists Cloud-Based Controller support from EAP225 V3.0, V4.0 and later, while V3.20 does not support the Omada Cloud-Based Controller.
Omada Mesh and Seamless Roaming
With a compatible Omada controller, the EAP225 supports Omada Mesh and Seamless Roaming.
Omada Mesh can create wireless links between compatible access points where Ethernet cabling is difficult. Seamless Roaming helps compatible wireless clients move between multiple access points with reduced interruption.
These functions require compatible Omada controllers and appropriate configuration.
Up to 16 SSIDs
The EAP225 supports up to 16 SSIDs in total, with up to 8 SSIDs available on each wireless band.
Multiple SSIDs can be used to create separate wireless networks for different groups, such as:
- Employees
- Guests
- IoT devices
- Management devices
- Students
- Residents
SSID-to-VLAN mapping can then be used with a compatible managed switch and router to provide network segmentation.
Captive Portal for Guest Wi-Fi
The EAP225 supports Captive Portal authentication through compatible Omada SDN controllers. This allows businesses to create controlled guest Wi-Fi networks with an authentication page.
Depending on the Omada controller and configuration, authentication options can include voucher, SMS and Facebook Wi-Fi.
Wireless Security
The EAP225 provides several business-oriented wireless security and access-control functions:
- WPA/WPA2 security
- WPA/WPA2-Enterprise
- 802.1X authentication
- Wireless MAC address filtering
- Wireless client isolation
- SSID-to-VLAN mapping
- Access Control
- Rogue AP Detection
- Management VLAN
Wireless Optimization Features
The EAP225 includes several features for optimizing multi-access-point wireless networks:
- Band Steering
- Load Balancing
- Airtime Fairness
- Beamforming
- Automatic Channel Assignment
- Transmit Power Control
- WMM QoS
- Rate Limiting
- Wireless Scheduling
- Wireless Statistics
- Reboot Scheduling
Indoor Coverage and Client Capacity
TP-Link specifies approximately 1,250 ft² / 115 m² coverage and 220+ concurrent clients under its stated conditions.
These figures are reference values rather than guaranteed real-world performance. Actual coverage and usable client capacity depend on building construction, RF interference, channel utilization, traffic requirements, client devices and access-point placement.
Internal Omnidirectional Antennas
The current EAP225 specification lists three internal omnidirectional antennas:
TP-Link notes that the three-antenna design, 450Mbps 2.4GHz rate, MU-MIMO, Airtime Fairness, Beamforming and Passive PoE specifications are supported from EAP225 V3 and above.
