TP-Link EAP235-Wall AC1200 Gigabit Wall Plate WiFi Access Point | 867Mbps 5GHz, 300Mbps 2.4GHz, PoE Pass-Through

TP-Link EAP235-Wall is an AC1200 Dual-Band MU-MIMO Gigabit Wall Plate Access Point designed for room-by-room WiFi deployments in hotels, resorts, apartments, dormitories, offices, hospitals and other multi-room environments. It delivers up to 867Mbps on 5GHz and 300Mbps on 2.4GHz, providing a combined theoretical wireless rate of up to 1167Mbps.

Unlike conventional ceiling-mounted access points, the EAP235-Wall is designed to be installed directly on a wall junction box. Its slim 143 × 86 × 19.7mm wall-plate design blends into the room while providing both wireless and wired connectivity.

The access point provides 4× Gigabit Ethernet ports: 1× Gigabit uplink/PoE input and 3× Gigabit downlink ports. One downlink port supports PoE pass-through up to 13W when the EAP235-Wall receives 802.3at PoE+ input. This allows a compatible wired device such as an IP phone to receive network connectivity and power through the wall AP.

AC1200 Dual-Band WiFi 5

The EAP235-Wall uses IEEE 802.11ac WiFi 5 with simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz operation.

The advertised wireless rates are theoretical physical-layer rates. Actual throughput depends on client capability, interference, distance, building materials, network traffic and other environmental conditions.

MU-MIMO for Multiple Clients

The EAP235-Wall supports MU-MIMO technology, allowing compatible client devices to receive data simultaneously instead of serving every client sequentially.

This can improve wireless efficiency in environments where several users are connected to the same wall-mounted access point, such as hotel rooms, apartments, offices and dormitories.

Dedicated WiFi for Every Room

The EAP235-Wall is designed specifically for room-by-room wireless deployment. Instead of using one powerful access point to cover an entire floor, an access point can be installed inside each room or suite.

This approach can provide more predictable coverage and allows administrators to configure wireless and wired services for individual rooms or zones.

TP-Link specifies a coverage figure of approximately 25m² / 300ft² under its laboratory conditions. Actual coverage varies according to walls, room layout, client devices and other environmental factors.

4× Gigabit Ethernet Ports

One of the key advantages of the EAP235-Wall is its integrated Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

• 1× Gigabit Uplink: Connects to the network and receives PoE power.
• 3× Gigabit Downlinks: Connect wired devices in the room.
• 1× PoE Pass-Through Port: One downlink port can provide PoE power to a compatible device.

The additional Ethernet ports make the EAP235-Wall useful in rooms requiring connectivity for devices such as IP phones, IPTV/set-top boxes, computers, printers and other wired equipment.

PoE Input and PoE Pass-Through

The EAP235-Wall supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE input, allowing the access point to receive power and network connectivity through a single Ethernet cable.

When the access point receives 802.3at PoE+, one of its downlink ports can provide up to 13W PoE output for a compatible powered device.

This PoE pass-through capability can reduce the requirement for a separate power adapter for a compatible IP phone or other PoE-powered device installed near the access point.

Omada SDN Centralized Management

The EAP235-Wall integrates with the TP-Link Omada SDN platform, allowing it to be managed alongside compatible Omada access points, switches and gateways.

Supported controller options include:

• Omada Hardware Controller
• Omada Software Controller
• Omada Cloud-Based Controller
• Omada App

Centralized management can simplify wireless configuration, client monitoring, network administration and multi-site deployments.

Seamless Roaming

The current EAP235-Wall V1.20 specification supports 802.11k/v Seamless Roaming. In a compatible Omada deployment, this helps wireless clients move between access points with reduced interruption.

Actual roaming behavior depends on the controller configuration, network design and client device support.

Guest Network and Captive Portal

The EAP235-Wall supports guest-network functionality and captive portal authentication when used with compatible Omada SDN controllers.

This is particularly useful for hospitality environments where administrators may want to provide guest WiFi with controlled access, authentication or customized portal pages.

Supported authentication options can include voucher-based access and other portal authentication methods depending on the Omada controller and firmware.

VLAN and Network Segmentation

The EAP235-Wall supports SSID-to-VLAN mapping and local LAN port-based VLAN functions. This allows different wireless networks and wired ports to be associated with separate VLANs.

For example, a hotel deployment could separate guest WiFi, staff devices, IPTV and management traffic into different network segments.

Wireless Management Features

The EAP235-Wall provides a range of wireless management and optimization features for business deployments.

• Up to 16 SSIDs
• Up to 8 SSIDs per frequency band
• Automatic Channel Assignment
• Transmit Power Control
• MU-MIMO
• Band Steering
• Beamforming
• Load Balancing
• Rate Limiting
• QoS/WMM
• Wireless Scheduling
• Reboot Scheduling
• Wireless Client Isolation
• Rogue AP Detection
• RADIUS Authentication
• MAC Authentication

Wireless Security

The EAP235-Wall supports WPA and WPA2 security modes for Personal and Enterprise deployments. It also provides 802.1X authentication, RADIUS support, wireless MAC filtering, client isolation and access-control features.

For business and hospitality deployments, these functions can be combined with VLAN segmentation and captive portal authentication to create separate guest, staff and management networks.

Compact Wall Plate Design

The EAP235-Wall is designed to replace or fit over common wall junction boxes. TP-Link specifies compatibility with 86mm wall junction boxes and standard EU and US junction boxes.

Its slim 143 × 86 × 19.7mm form factor makes it suitable for installations where a conventional ceiling access point would be visually unsuitable or inconvenient.
