TP-Link EAP115 Omada N300 Wireless Ceiling Mount Access Point, Supports PoE 802.3af, 300Mbps Speed, White Color, Easily Wall or Ceiling Mounted, Managed by Free EAP Controller Software

TP-Link EAP115 N300 Wireless Ceiling Mount Access Point offers PoE support and 300Mbps speed for easy installation and management.

TP‑Link EAP115 Omada N300 Wireless Ceiling Mount Access Point

The TP‑Link EAP115 is a compact, high‑performance wireless access point designed for indoor environments such as offices, schools, hotels and retail spaces. Built on the 802.11n standard, it delivers up to 300 Mbps throughput while supporting robust security protocols and advanced management features through TP‑Link’s free Omada controller software.

Key Design Features

  • Ceiling/Wall Mounting Kit Included: The device comes with a lightweight mounting bracket that allows easy installation on ceilings or walls, keeping the unit discreet and unobtrusive.
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af: Powered directly from an Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies and simplifying deployment in large networks.
  • White Finish: Sleek, neutral color blends seamlessly with most interior designs.
  • Single‑Band 2.4 GHz Operation: Optimized for environments where a single band is sufficient, providing reliable coverage without the complexity of dual‑band management.

Wireless Performance & Coverage

The EAP115 operates exclusively on the 2.4 GHz band and supports the legacy 802.11b/g/n protocols, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of client devices.

Specification Details
Maximum Data Rate 300 Mbps
Antenna Configuration 2 × internal omni‑directional antennas, each with a gain of 3–4 dBi
Transmit Power 20 dBm (adjustable via management interface)
Coverage Range Designed for indoor coverage up to 30–50 m depending on obstacles and interference.

Advanced Wireless Features

The EAP115 offers a suite of features that enhance network reliability, security, and user experience:

  • Multiple SSIDs (up to 8 per band): Create separate networks for guests, staff, or IoT devices.
  • Automatic Channel Assignment: The AP automatically selects the least congested channel to reduce interference.
  • Transmit Power Control: Fine‑tune output power to balance coverage and minimize co‑channel overlap.
  • Quality of Service (QoS) – WMM: Prioritize voice, video, or critical data traffic.
  • Rate Limiting & Band Steering: Manage bandwidth allocation and encourage clients to use the optimal frequency band.
  • Airtime Fairness & Beamforming: Ensure equitable airtime distribution among devices and improve signal quality.

Security Capabilities

Robust security is essential for any enterprise network. The EAP115 supports a comprehensive set of protocols:

  • WEP (64/128/152‑bit), WPA/WPA‑PSK, WPA2/WPA2‑PSK
  • HTTPS, SNMP v1/v2c, SSH for secure management.
  • MAC Address Filtering & Access Control Lists (ACL): Restrict device access at the MAC level.
  • Captive Portal Authentication: Guest network login pages for controlled access.
  • Rogue AP Detection & Wireless Isolation: Protect against unauthorized devices and prevent client‑to‑client communication when required.

Management & Integration

The EAP115 is fully compatible with TP‑Link’s free Omada controller software, enabling centralized management across multiple sites. Key management features include:

  • Omada App / Web Interface: Intuitive dashboards for configuration and monitoring.
  • Multi‑Site Management: Control dozens of APs from a single console.
  • Local/Remote Syslog & Email Alerts: Receive real‑time notifications on network events.
  • SNMP v1/v2c, HTTP/HTTPS, SSH: Flexible integration with existing monitoring tools.
  • Firmware Updates via OTA: Keep the device secure and up to date without physical access.

I recommend using the EAP225 and EAP245 in a wireless mesh network, while using the EAP660 at home. When testing WiFi speeds with a WiFi6 capable phone (OnePlus 9) right next to the access point (AP), I found that the speeds were slightly better compared to the EAP245. However, considering its price of £260 compared to the EAP245 priced at £90, I don't believe it is worth the extra cost.

The EAP245 provides speeds of approximately 450mbps in local LAN tests, while the EAP660 offers speeds ranging from 400-600mbps when used with a 2x2 WiFi 6 smartphone. It's important to note that currently, the EAP660 does not support wireless mesh functionality, although it is planned for future updates. If you require mesh support, it would be best to avoid this model for now and consider the EAP610 which already has mesh capabilities.

In my opinion, unless you have multiple WiFi6 devices at home and specifically need slightly faster speeds (which only makes sense if you have fast broadband or a local NAS), I do not recommend purchasing this AP. Instead, you can opt for three units of the more affordable EAP245 for around the same price. This comparison makes choosing between them pointless as they offer similar performance at a lower cost.
