OFDMA is the cornerstone for any WiFi 6 access point, and it’s used with the TP-Link EAP615-Wall as well plus the hardware is also a bit more potent to be able to handle a slightly denser network.

Future proof Your Network with WiFi 6 Connectivity - Connect more devices at the same time with WiFi 6 speeds of up to 1800 Mbps. After connecting the same AX200 client device to the TP-Link EAP615-Wall, I noticed that, while the throughput wasn’t as good at 5 feet, it did prove far more consistent up to 45 feet. Before that, it’s worth mentioning the mounting system which consists of a single metallic bracket that you need to attach to a wall junction box (86mm, compatible with both US and EU standards).

One of the downlink ports offers PoE pass-through ‡ to eliminate the need for that extra power port. Additionally, I also included the attenuation since, even if the distance seems like the better way of comparing the performance between two or more AP, it’s difficult for the user to reproduce the same throughput values inside their homes. Equipped with enterprise chipsets, dedicated antennas, advanced RF functions, auto channel selection, and power adjustment, Omada Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 APs have high concurrency capacities for remarkable performance in high-density environments. Because it's actively developed, so it shows even more differences, I am not talking about signalling here (since I don't have proper measurement tools), but the features, and issue fixes.

Mounting the TP-Link EAP610 is simple since all you need to do is attach the bracket on the ceiling, connect the PoE cable (optionally, also the power cable) and simply rotate the device into place. And it’s worth mentioning that TP-Link has taken a lot of inspiration from the UniFi controller which is a great thing if you want to move away from Ubiquiti.The throughput had a gentle fall at 15 feet, but it did go down quite a bit after going past the 30 feet limit. pci_driver_own_by_port: success to clear p=0 fw own, from(1): 1 is interrupt mode, 2 is polling mode. In most PoE products, the high voltage parts (U15 and U40 in this case) tend to have a shorter lifetime than the remaining components due to the higher electrical stresses, and they can be repaired on the EAP615-Wall.

There are two RF cages, one on the wifi section (bottom) and one on the CPU (top), snapped on with metal pins. TP-Link says that the EAP615-Wall should be able to power up devices that require up to 12W (or 13W in the EU).The Ceiling Mount EAP's elegant appearance and easy-mount design promote fast installation on any wall or ceiling surface, and allow it to blend in seamlessly with most interior decorating styles.
