This means that I measured 537Mbps up and 313Mbps down at 5 feet, while at 45 feet, the speed was 215Mbps upstream and 119Mbps downstream.

Using the Omada SDN Controller to Manage Omada Devices Across Multiple Locations Via a VPN Connection (Controller 5.0 and Above) 05-05-2023 15750What's the difference between Master Administrator, Administrator and Viewer account in Omada Controller? 04-20-2023 15127 I was expecting to see a minor difference between the WiFi performance of the TP-Link EAP610 and the EAP610-Outdoors, but, while in some cases, they do come very close to each other, it’s still like looking at two completely different devices. And yes, the area was the same, the interference was pretty much equal and I used the same client devices. TP-Link EAP610 vs EAP610-Outdoor vs EnGenius ECW220 – Long-term speed test – 80MHz – Upstream – 5 feet.

You may use the respective software condition to following the GPL licence terms. The only notable difference at the hardware level seems to be the combination of the front-end modules which probably pushed the results a bit differently. The attenuation was also not the same, so the antenna system most likely had a say about this as well. The testing procedure involves using three client devices, one is a WiFi 6 device (AX200) and two are WiFi 5 client devices (Intel 8265 and Pixel 2 XL). The TP-Link EAP610 is connected to an Ethernet switch (I still had the Zyxel XS1930 installed, so I used it in this case as well) and the client devices are connected to the 5GHz band (80mHz). TP-Link EAP610 vs Other WiFi 6 Access Points – 5GHz (80MHz) – 5 Feet – Upstream. The EAP610 is an excellent value access point. It's powered by the modern Wi-Fi 6 standard and a Gigabit port and allows you to skip additional AC adapters with an appropriate PoE network switch. Suppose you're looking to bring a reliable, seamless wireless network to a larger home or your place of business. In that case, it works perfectly with the TP-Link Omada SDN, albeit not directly with a cloud controller. A firmware update can resolve issues that the previous firmware version may have and improve its current performance. To UpgradeFlipping the board upside down has revealed the quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm IPQ6000 SoC, the 256MB of RAM from ESMT (M15T4G16256A), the 128MB of flash memory from ESMT (F59D1G81MB) and the Realtek RTL8211F highly integrated Ethernet transceiver (10/100/1000BASE-T). Zero-Touch Provisioning requires the use of Omada Cloud-Based Controller. Note that EAP610-Outdoor v1.0 doesn't support Omada Cloud-Based Controller.Please go to www.tp-link.com/omada-cloud-based-controller/product-list to confirm which models are compatible with Omada Cloud-Based Controller. I also noticed that the EAP610 has the same antenna gain as the EAP610-Outdoor and it’s no surprise considering that the two devices are pretty much the same, just that the latter has an IP67 case to protect the components from the weather elements. One other curiosity is that the model that I am going to test is the v2.26 and yes, the changes from the v1.0 are at the hardware-level. There’s the mandatory OFDMA, MU-MIMO and Beamforming which are pretty much a standard for the WiFi 6 access points. Plus, we get support for the mesh technology, so it’s possible to add the TP-Link EAP610 to a larger mesh network. There is support for 1024QAM, but the channel bandwidth goes only up to 80MHz, which arguably is more than enough in most cases (if the WiFi is very crowded, you may even be forced to downgrade to 40MHz on the 5GHz band). TP-Link EAP610 WiFi 6 Access Point. It's recommended that users stop all Internet applications on the computer, or simply disconnect Internet line from the device before the upgrade.

Sure, there are some hot spots, but so far there are no signs of overheating. The top side is made of plastic (the entire device is covered by a white matte finish) and the only element that will stand out is the LED which will show the status of the AP. When the LED is turned on and solid, then the device is in working conditions, otherwise, if the LED is off, it means that the AP has encountered an error; when it’s flashing, it means that it’s upgrading the firmware. Left: TP-Link EAP670. Right: TP-Link EAP610. I saw that the TP-Link EAP610 has the same antenna gain as the EAP610-Outdoor and I admit I expected less from the indoors AP, but no, you get the same 2x 4dBi antennas for the 2.4GHz radio and 2x 5dBi for the 5GHz radio band. So don’t forget to reduce the transmit power for the 2.4GHz radio unless you want interference with your neighbors. Lastly, the TP-Link EAP610 has support for the TP-Link mesh implementation, but it’s not compatible with OneMesh (for reasons unknown to me). You can only use it with other Omada access points. Wireless Test (5GHz) To avoid wireless disconnect issue during firmware upgrade process, it's recommended to upload firmware with wired connection unless there is no LAN/Ethernet port on your TP-Link device.
