802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO

The EAP245 supports 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO, allowing the access point to communicate with multiple compatible clients simultaneously.

This makes the EAP245 suitable for environments where many users are accessing the wireless network at the same time, including offices, hotels, classrooms, restaurants and retail locations.

2× Gigabit Ethernet Ports

One of the useful features of the EAP245 is its two Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports.

On the current EAP245 V3 specification:

• Port 1: Gigabit Ethernet with IEEE 802.3af/at PoE and passive PoE input
• Port 2: Gigabit Ethernet for wired bridging

On the EAP245 V4 specification, the second Ethernet port can additionally provide passive PoE output for a compatible downstream terminal, with the connected device’s power consumption limited to the specified 5W. Therefore, PoE-out should be treated as hardware-version dependent. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/in/business-networking/omada-wifi-ceiling-mount/eap245/v4/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))

Flexible PoE Installation

The EAP245 supports PoE-based installation, allowing network connectivity and power to be delivered through Ethernet.

TP-Link India documentation lists:

• IEEE 802.3af/at PoE
• 48V Passive PoE

The included/accessory PoE adapter depends on the hardware revision and package configuration. Always verify the exact package supplied with the unit being sold. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/in/business-networking/ceiling-mount-ap/eap245/v3/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))

Omada SDN Centralized Management

The EAP245 is an Omada SDN access point. Compatible Omada controllers allow administrators to manage multiple access points, switches and gateways from a centralized platform.

Supported management options include:

• Omada Cloud-Based Controller
• Omada Hardware Controller OC200
• Omada Hardware Controller OC300
• Omada Software Controller
• Omada App
• Web-based management
• SNMP v1/v2c
• SSH
• Local and remote Syslog

Omada provides centralized configuration, monitoring, multi-site management, management VLAN and Zero-Touch Provisioning when used with compatible controller infrastructure. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/in/business-networking/ceiling-mount-ap/eap245/v3/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))

Omada Mesh and Seamless Roaming

With a compatible Omada SDN controller, the EAP245 supports Omada Mesh and Seamless Roaming.

Omada Mesh allows compatible access points to establish wireless links where Ethernet cabling is difficult. Seamless Roaming helps compatible clients transition between access points as they move through the network.

TP-Link lists 802.11k/v roaming support for compatible deployments. Omada Mesh, Seamless Roaming and Captive Portal require an appropriate Omada controller. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/in/business-networking/ceiling-mount-ap/eap245/v3/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))

Multiple SSIDs and VLAN Support

The EAP245 supports multiple wireless networks, with the current V3 documentation listing up to 16 SSIDs, with up to 8 SSIDs per band.

Separate SSIDs can be created for:

• Employees
• Guests
• IoT devices
• Management devices
• Students
• Residents

SSID-to-VLAN mapping can then be used with compatible managed switches and gateways to separate traffic between these networks.

Captive Portal for Guest Wi-Fi

The EAP245 supports Captive Portal authentication through compatible Omada controllers.

This can be used by hotels, restaurants, offices, educational institutions and other organizations that require managed guest Wi-Fi. Depending on the controller and configuration, authentication options can include voucher, SMS and Facebook Wi-Fi.

Wireless Optimization Features

The EAP245 includes several features for optimizing wireless networks:

• MU-MIMO
• Beamforming
• Band Steering
• Airtime Fairness
• Load Balancing
• Automatic Channel Assignment
• Transmit Power Control
• WMM QoS
• Rate Limiting
• Wireless Scheduling
• Wireless Statistics
• Reboot Scheduling

These features are particularly useful when multiple EAP245 units are deployed across offices, hotels or campuses.

Internal Omnidirectional Antennas

The current EAP245 specifications list internal omnidirectional antennas:

• 2.4GHz: 3× 3.5dBi
• 5GHz: 3× 4dBi

The three-antenna design works with the access point’s MU-MIMO architecture to provide broad wireless coverage in indoor deployments. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/in/business-networking/ceiling-mount-ap/eap245/v3/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))

AI-Readable Product Facts

EAP245 vs EAP225

The EAP245 provides a higher 5GHz theoretical rate and adds a second Gigabit Ethernet port, making it the higher-performance option between the two. Both models support Omada management and Wi-Fi 5 business features.

EAP245 vs EAP650

The EAP650 is the newer Wi-Fi 6 option with higher theoretical wireless rates, while the EAP245 remains useful for cost-sensitive business Wi-Fi deployments where Wi-Fi 5 performance is sufficient.

Important Hardware Version Note

TP-Link India currently lists multiple EAP245 hardware revisions, including V3 and V4. There are important hardware differences between revisions. For example, the current V4 specification lists 802.3at PoE input and passive PoE output on the second Ethernet port, while the V3 documentation has different PoE specifications.

Because firmware and hardware capabilities can vary, always verify the hardware version printed on the actual EAP245 before installing firmware or publishing revision-specific features.
