TP-Link Omada EAP772 Tri Band IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be 10.40 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

First off, the setup was a breeze. I’ve used plenty of devices over the years, and this was one of the easiest to get configured to my liking. If you choose, you can use the Omada app as it walks you through step by step, but even without it, it’s simple to get things going if you know what you’re doing. I had it up and running in no time, and the app lets me fine-tune the settings with ease while i was playing with it.Once it was installed, the signal quality was where this thing really impressed me. It blankets my entire house, including upstairs and even into the backyard, with no dead spots. The 6GHz band is a game-changer for modern devices, and even when I’m running multiple streams from my Plex server at 4k, and doing work over remote desktop, everything stays fast and stable. The tri-band really helps with separating traffic so nothing gets bogged down.I also really appreciate the PoE functionality. It made placing the access point in the perfect spot much easier since I didn’t have to worry about finding an outlet nearby. With PoE, I could focus on getting the best coverage without running power cables all over the place.For anyone who’s got a decent-sized home and needs top-tier performance without fuss, this access point delivers. It’s not often I find gear that works this well straight out of the box, but the Omada EAP772 paired with my ER605 router definitely does.

Had to figure out the Omada cloud AP options, found out there's a license needed to use it, paid $9.99 (yearly) and got whopping speeds, it ties into my Omada wired network seamlessly.-I had Decos in our Air B&B, unfortunately in a Florida attic, i'ts reeeeally hot (they started to overheat), so I had to use this outdoor antenna to replace those Decos.-This upped my speeds by 40%.-The management interface is splendid w/Omada Cloud.(Deco's cannot tie into the Omada SDN Cloud, whereas this does.)Works great! Took me a bit to figure out the license issue, had to Duckduckgo for a bit, but I'm pleased to say all's well now! Bravo

I'm using this as our first Omada device. I'm controlling it locally with a docker instance of their software. They offer something in the cloud, but I don't want that for myself. I'm using a capable but aging RT-AX89X as my router, this is just an AP for me. But what an AP! Yes, the hardware is only dual band, but I'm able to get 2GbE from a wifi 6e client through a wall. With a 2.5Gbe backhaul this is capable of providing screeming throughput. For the money, this thing exceeded my expectations. The software is next level. Im sure ubiquity is better, but this is light years more capable than a traditional router.Of course, more capable means so many more options that most consumers won't need. It's still a great AP option and reasonably prices for that. But the software really gives you control if you want it. It was even able to map my property's impact on the wifi signal.

Not as pictured. no external antennas. works great.

lets start with positives. this has everything you could possibly want in an access point. 2.5g port, full control over all the setting and security features, full control over wifi name and password, POE connectivity, and most importantly it has wifi 7 capabilities.negatives. this this is not all that user friendly. there is quite a bit of a learning curve. first in order to access the settings you have to know what IP address your router assigned it as. If you don't already know how to do that you are already in a bit of trouble. also in order to do this right you have to mount it to the ceiling and run an ethernet cable from your ceiling to your switch that has POE capability. That isn't something the normal consumer can do so you may have to hire someone to do it.Also do keep in mind that this is a standalone access point and not a router. So you will need to buy a separate wired router.Lastly regarding the wifi 7 capeability. Currently there are almost no devices that have wifi 7 built in. It is a very new technology that will need time to grow. But the next generation of cell phones should all have them in the next couple of years.This thing is designed for a business or a home with a lot of devices wirelessly connected. This fits my needs perfectly, but this is definitely not for the average home user.

Wifi 7 features like 160mhz channel bandwidth really sped up my network, and the price made this device a really good value. I use three separate aps at my house on the three separate levels, and separating the channels with this device in the middle really solved my roaming and reliability problems. I do recommend turning DOWN the 2.4ghz broadcast (maybe to 9db) so that the 5ghz is selected by your client more often.

I've been running this as my primary AP in my apartment for a few months. Zero complaints. Omada has a really good market position right now; better software than Ubiquiti for sure. If you're a networking nerd or not, setup is a breeze, guided and easy. Enterprise guys will definitely appreciate the advanced futures, but even home gamers can get this rocking and rolling within 15 mins. Coverage with the stock antennas is a bit lack luster. I replaced the stock antennas with sector antennas to get a better spread in a densely populated wireless environment, but even that's standardized and easy.

5 stars for the device which is great so far. Setup is easy with vlans and signal coverage is very good. My complaint is that the device web page shows Hardware Version 1, the package showed Version 1.1, and the Firmware update page shows V2 and V2.6 available while the TP-Link website says this is a "new" item. Buying a new device I would expect to get the latest or perhaps 1 hardware version back, not 4 versions back and the initial version at that. There is no way to know what hardware version you are going to get when buying.
