Description

The TP-Link EAP653-UR AX3000 Ceiling Mount WiFi 6 Access Point is designed for professional wireless networks that require strong coverage, efficient handling of multiple clients and centralized management. It operates across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, with maximum wireless data rates of 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz.

The ultra-range design uses internal 2 x 2 MIMO dual-band antennas with 5 dBi antennas on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The access point is specified for coverage of up to 185 m2 and supports more than 250 concurrent clients, although actual coverage and capacity depend on the wireless environment, connected devices and network conditions.

WiFi 6 features such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO, 1024-QAM and HE160 help improve network efficiency and wireless performance. The 160 MHz channel width is supported on the 5 GHz band when compatible client devices and local regulations allow it.

The EAP653-UR integrates with the Omada SDN platform for centralized network management. Administrators can use supported Omada controllers and the Omada app to manage access points and other compatible network devices. Features such as Omada Mesh, seamless roaming, captive portal and cloud access require an appropriate Omada controller.

A Gigabit PoE+ port provides the wired network connection and supports 802.3at PoE. The access point can also use 48V passive PoE or 12V DC power. The DC and PoE adapters are not included. Its slim 160 x 160 x 33.6 mm enclosure supports ceiling, wall and junction box mounting, with mounting kits included.
