• Internal Antennas: Six 5 dBi antennas provide wide coverage and high gain.
• Gigabit Ethernet Port: One 1 GbE RJ‑45 port for wired backhaul or uplink.
• Power Options: Supports PoE+ (802.3at), DC 12 V, and PoE++ (802.3bt) for flexible deployment.
• Management: Fully compatible with TP‑Link Omada SDN cloud or local controller; supports OTA firmware updates, SNMP, SSH, and RADIUS/WPA2/WPA3 security protocols.

Design & Installation Features

The EAP650’s slim, low‑profile chassis measures 23 cm × 6 cm × 25 cm, making it ideal for ceiling or wall mounting in offices, schools, hotels, and retail spaces. The device includes a built‑in mounting bracket and is engineered to operate quietly under load.

Performance Highlights

• High Throughput: Combined 2.976 Gbps ensures smooth HD streaming, large file transfers, and low‑latency gaming even with many concurrent users.
• Low Latency & High Reliability: Wi‑Fi 6’s OFDMA and Target Wake Time (TWT) reduce contention and improve battery life for IoT devices.
• Seamless Roaming: Integrated Omada Mesh support allows the AP to join a mesh network, providing uninterrupted connectivity as clients move across coverage zones.
• Scalable Architecture: The device can be deployed in single‑AP mode or scaled into large enterprise deployments with hundreds of units managed centrally.

Security & Management

The EAP650 incorporates the latest security features to protect corporate data and user privacy:

• WPA3 Enterprise/PSK for robust encryption.
• Support for 802.1X authentication, RADIUS, and captive portal.
• Built‑in firewall and VLAN tagging capabilities.
• Centralized management via the Omada SDN controller, enabling configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting from a single dashboard.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

• Enterprise Offices: Replace legacy APs with high‑density coverage for conference rooms, open workspaces, and executive suites.
• Educational Institutions: Provide reliable Wi‑Fi for classrooms, libraries, and student lounges.
• Hospitality & Retail: Offer seamless guest access while maintaining secure back‑office connectivity.
• Industrial & Smart Building: Support IoT sensors, security cameras, and automated systems with PoE power delivery.

Installation & Configuration Steps
