AX3000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6

The EAP650 provides simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi 6 connectivity with theoretical wireless rates of:

• 5GHz: Up to 2402Mbps
• 2.4GHz: Up to 574Mbps

The combined wireless class is AX3000. These are theoretical PHY rates based on IEEE 802.11 specifications; actual throughput is affected by client capability, channel conditions, interference, network traffic, distance and environmental factors.

160MHz Wi-Fi 6 Channel

The EAP650 supports 160MHz channel bandwidth on 5GHz with compatible clients. Wider channels can provide higher theoretical wireless link rates and greater throughput potential compared with narrower channel configurations.

Availability of 160MHz channels depends on regulatory requirements, channel availability and the capabilities of the connected client devices. TP-Link notes that HE160 availability can vary by region.

OFDMA and MU-MIMO

Wi-Fi 6 technologies such as OFDMA and MU-MIMO help the EAP650 efficiently serve multiple compatible wireless clients.

OFDMA allows a Wi-Fi 6 access point to divide wireless resources among multiple clients, while MU-MIMO enables simultaneous communication with multiple compatible devices. These technologies are particularly useful in environments with many connected devices.

Gigabit PoE+ Connectivity

The EAP650 includes one Gigabit Ethernet port that supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+. This allows both network data and power to be delivered through a single Ethernet cable when connected to a compatible PoE+ switch or injector.

The current EAP650 V3 India specification also lists 12V DC power and 48V passive PoE support. Hardware revisions can differ, so the exact power options should be checked against the version being supplied.

Omada SDN Centralized Management

The EAP650 is part of the TP-Link Omada SDN ecosystem. Compatible Omada controllers can centrally manage supported access points, switches and gateways from a unified platform.

Management options include:

• Omada Cloud-Based Controller
• Omada Hardware Controller
• Omada Software Controller
• Omada App
• Web-based management
• SNMP
• SSH
• Local and remote Syslog

Omada supports centralized configuration, monitoring, multi-site management and zero-touch provisioning when used with a compatible controller.

Omada Mesh and Seamless Roaming

With a compatible Omada controller, the EAP650 supports Omada Mesh and Seamless Roaming. Omada Mesh can provide wireless links between compatible access points where running Ethernet cabling is difficult.

Seamless roaming uses technologies such as 802.11k/v to help compatible wireless clients move between access points while maintaining connectivity. These features require an appropriate Omada controller and compatible network configuration.

Up to 16 SSIDs

The EAP650 supports up to 16 SSIDs in total, with up to 8 SSIDs per band. Multiple SSIDs can be useful for separating different user groups and services.

For example, an organization can create separate wireless networks for:

• Employees
• Guests
• Management devices
• IoT devices
• Students or residents
• Voice or specialized applications

SSID-to-VLAN mapping can then be used with a suitable managed network infrastructure to provide logical traffic separation.

Business-Grade Wireless Security

The EAP650 supports multiple wireless security options, including WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA3-Personal and enterprise authentication options.

Additional wireless security and management features include:

• Captive Portal Authentication
• Wireless MAC Address Filtering
• Wireless Client Isolation
• SSID-to-VLAN Mapping
• Access Control
• Rogue AP Detection
• Management VLAN

These features make the EAP650 suitable for managed business Wi-Fi deployments, guest networks, hotels, offices and educational environments.

Wireless Optimization Features

The EAP650 provides several functions designed to optimize wireless network performance:

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

These controls allow administrators to optimize wireless networks with multiple access points and a large number of connected clients.

250+ Concurrent Clients

TP-Link lists support for 250+ concurrent clients under its specified test conditions. This makes the EAP650 suitable for offices, hotels, classrooms, cafés and other environments with a relatively high number of wireless devices.

The 250+ figure is not a guarantee of usable bandwidth for every client. Recommended client density depends on the applications being used, wireless interference, channel configuration and available wired backhaul.

Coverage up to 1,500 ft²

TP-Link specifies up to 1,500 ft² / 140 m² coverage based on laboratory testing. Actual coverage can vary significantly depending on walls, building materials, interference, access-point height, client devices and network configuration.

For larger properties, multiple EAP650 units can be deployed under the Omada ecosystem to create a coordinated wireless network.

Ceiling and Wall Mounting

The EAP650 is designed for ceiling and wall installation and can also be mounted to compatible junction boxes and T-bar installations using the supplied mounting hardware.

Its compact 160 × 160 × 33.6mm enclosure is designed to blend into office, hotel, classroom and commercial environments.
