EAP225 Access Point, AC1350 WiFi Dual Band Wireless Access Points, Gigabit Ethernet Port Support 802.3af/Passive PoE, Omada Mesh, Easily Mount to Wall or Ceiling, Free Controller Software

I got this for home use (can be used in any office small and large. First off it arrived in the branded box shown i have used TP link products in the past and i have found these better working the Sky Router than other brands. TPLink AP is a very cost effective option and simple to install with basic DIY and network knowledge. So right out box your meet with the access point which is light weight yet strangely stronger than you think. In the box you get the 1 Access Point 1 PoE Power adapter 1 mounting bracket Instructions No cables provided so you will need to order two cat 6 or above Ethernet cables one from router to PoE and one from PoE to the Access point Fitting was really simple and it honestly tuck me all of 20 mins once i knew where i was fitting. Once fitted i go to running cables around and through trunking to where my access point was. (I would recommend trying it before you mount it to ensure its working) You have two options for accessing the Access Point, first is the App available on apple and google stores or the second through your web browser both solutions are easy even for someone with little IT experience (however if you struggle there is loads of advice on YouTube or google) instructions provided are pretty good also. Once up and running and you have accessed you access point you can clone your main channel or you can do what i have done i have set up several access points for the family and guests as sadly with sky routers you can’t have a guest channel so everyone is connected. The best thing about setting up access for my kids is that i can very quickly disable their access to the internet at certain times (for example bed times etc) i have also set up channel for smart home cctv/ bulbs etc. when setting up access i would strongly recommend you have 2.4Gz and 5Gz running together this easier and allows older devices and new devices to run on same access point without issue. Now the wifi coverage has massively increased i can now get access at bottom of garden also when i pull up where i park car my phone connects straight to the house wifi. At £61.98 at time of review its most definitely worth the price. I have recommended this to my sister who has same issues with wifi in her house and im fitting it next week Highly recommend

great item, easy to set up and install. Came with a PoE injector included which i didnt expect. instructions are not the clearest, but once i downloaded the app, setup was quick and easy.

Our house is quite long with internal stone walls which has meant problems in getting wifi to every room. Despite having ethernet cabling and sockets run to various rooms in the house when we had it rewired, I had continued to use powerline adaptors which increasingly suffered from dropouts. I purchased one of these access points along with a Netgear POE switch and two weeks later the difference is huge. The setup couldn't be more straightforward: ethernet cable from BT Hub4 to Netgear POE switch, ethernet cable from switch to wall socket and then ethernet cable from distant socket to the access point. Connect Netgear switch to mains and then download the TP-Link app onto iPad. Connect the iPad to the access point in iPad settings (as if connecting to a new wifi network) using SSID and password printed on the access point and the TP-Link app then finds the access point allowing the user to set first of all a user name and password and then the SSID and wireless key of the BT Hub. I could also have turned off the LED on the unit via the app but after all my previous problems with the powerline adaptors I left it on to glow reassuringly. After a week of flawless performance I bought a second unit which was just as easy to set up and which works just as well. We now have reliable dual band wifi throughout the house with seamless roaming between both access points and the BT Hub. If your house is cabled for ethernet (or if you can run ethernet cabling unobtrusively) this is by far the best way to bring wifi to all rooms in your house. Highly recommend. PS the access point comes with a mains adaptor so you don't have to use a POE switch but it looks much neater to have just the one cable going the access point so it's worth the small extra cost IMO.

After struggling to set up (and subsequently returning for a refund due to poor performance) a Ubiquiti WAP, I thought I'd give the TP-Link AC1200 a try. It's an absolute dream to set up; if all you need is an SSID and password, it takes about 2 minutes with their Auranet Controller software (you'll need to download this from TP-Link's website). The WiFi coverage is excellent (I have it wall-mounted downstairs in a large 2-story cottage and reception is good throughout the house.) The reason for only 4 stars is down to the design of the product; the network socket is right at the edge of the case, meaning that you're always going to see a couple of inches of cable, regardless of whether you mount it on a wall or a ceiling (especially if you use fairly inflexible Cat6 cable like I did). Secondly, some people in their reviews said that the unit came with a PoE injector. It doesn't. It comes with a standard plug-in adapter which needs to be plugged into a mains socket. So, I had to purchase a TP-Link TL-POE150S PoE injector (another £20) as the only power I had available was at the other end of the Cat6 cable in the upstairs loft! (This does work very well with the WAP, though.)

A superb piece of equipment that was easy to install and now makes the internet accessible in other parts of the house

Easy to set up. Very effective

Decent features, easy set up, the roof/wall mount isn't the best as I a bit flimsy. POE injector is included as I've seen many people ask in previous reviews, overall for the price, great access point, I can max out my Virgin media connection with it (350 down 35 up) I've also disabled the WiFi on my virgin hub to just use this, my house is a 2 story semi detached with thick walls, I can get WiFi signal downstairs perfectly, kitchen perfectly and garden good enough to carry out normal stuff (YouTube, FB etc) My overall favourite feature is you can limit speed on any/all devices connected via WiFi and its works brilliantly, no messing with QOS set ups, literally type the max speed and it won't go over that, guess you could use this to (in a fashion) disabled the WiFi should you want kids etc in bed. Overall, 10/10 for me, zero issues, hasn't been rebooted or had any hiccups since the day it was mounted to the wall.

I seldom write reviews but this product is transformational! Fact, the WIFI router supplied by your ISP is engineered down to a cost and therefore the WIFI performance is compromised and by nature designed for an average sized house and gives at best average performance. Fact, using WIFI extenders, or even costly MESH devices to cover dead spots is a compromised solution as these also use WIFI to connect back to the router. Powerline adapters are an option but in my experience prone to mains noise and interference. Therefore the best solution is to use a WIFI access point installed where coverage is poor and hardwire this back to the ISP router; this TPLink AP is a very cost effective option and simple to install with basic DIY and network knowledge (or using Google to get the information required). For those with the Virgin "super" hub which has particularly poor WIFI coverage adding these AP's will absolutely transform your WIFI experience and coverage, after installing two of these we now have 100% of our broadband speed available in 100% our sizeable 5 bed bungalow (and a good portion of the garden too). For Virgin users, install the AP's, connect them via a good quality Ethernet cable to your hubs wired ports, set them to the same SSID, password and security method as your Superhub WIFI settings and then simply turn off the WIFI (both 2.4 and 5G radios) in the superhub settings, DO NOT switch the superb to modem mode as you loose all the router and DHCP functionality and therefore access to the internet!
