Better yet, the performance results could be added over the floorplan image, similar to the way @MaxDicas does: ua-cam.com/video/K32myzy6sEI/v-deo.html
@@ghniheiI was pretty disappointed that the floor plan was not a part of communicating the speeds, personally. A bunch of bar charts doesn't really mean much to me, and I'm not about to rearrange the data myself, so it was not a very useful part of the video for me.
can we use it to create a wifi mesh? i mean if the eithernet is only providing power with no network scream, can it join existing wifi network and extend it?
Wife and I have been running two 615's in our house for quite some time. 2100 square foot single story home and two 615's is probably overkill. 655 is a bit of a waste of money for us, but I would love to upgrade to Wifi 7 version when it comes out.
Me: reads comment about two 615s on a 2100 SF home being overkill and wonders if me having like eight in a 3000 SF house along with two outdoor 655s means I have an addiction problem. Lol. :)
Thanks for the vid. Any tips on getting the most throughput out of the EAP655-Wall? In the same room, 8ft LOS from the AP with an AX210 I get 300-400 mbps down and 600-800 mbps up. This is on 5GHz/80MHz OFDMA on. Tried standalone and local Omada controller, no difference. It performs about the same from an iPhone 13. If I could get to 600/600 I would be completely satisfied.
Quick question: Why do you think magnetic screws are in any way better? It's handy, sure, but it's no marker of screw quality. Some types of stainless steel are not significantly magnetic.
Just makes things easier that’s all. From another commenter on another video they suggested not to worry about it as much unless the device is something that is meant to be serviced or have parts replaced. So I’m probably going to roll with that mentality moving forward
Hi, Thanks for the video. From the results, it seems that the EAP 615 is BETTER than the EAP 655? It's also cheaper and slimmer. This makes it a no-brainer choice to get a 615? Just double checking you've labelled the charts correctly?
God I hope I didn’t miss label because it is an extremely tedious and frankly annoying process to test WiFi at each spot 5 times. I would literally never make a WiFi video again if I made that mistake.
I thought I would use the EAP235. I had a printer plugged into a wall jack and I thought I would replace the wall jack and gain an AP while maintaining the printer plug. After a long call to tp, I found it would not work with the 235 but would with the 655. I will comment that the 655 runs a little warm.
I have EAP225 and I'm looking to new one so those two are on my list. Do you know if the poe adapter from EAP225 works for those two ? I mean the adapter can deliver enough power to these guys ?
www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/omada-sdn-access-point/eap650/#specifications according to this product page the 650 support MU-MIMO. But beyond that I not familiar with setting it up.
What are the dimensions on these? How much larger than a standard cover plate are they? I have a junction box that’s right above a power box so trying to figure out if this will fit in my location.

Kind suggestion: put the performance results on the same chart when comparing devices
I started too but it looks very very small for video. Maybe I’ll do it next time
@@SPXLabs Could split download/upload into separate graphs, so you can put the comparison together.

@Diamondragan there is a floor plan at 9:29 . Cheers
Good video, glad you found the holes too, i was sure worried !!
Thankfully I never have trouble finding your massive holes.
@@SPXLabs LOL
i like this channel. so little tp link reviews on the web. plus even less comparisons with unify.

Look up the fcc filing…… there are internal pictures of the device with the rf cans/covers removed

Yeah I wouldn't upgrade either. Can't wait for the 7s.

It definitely does

I think you will be satisfied no matter what.
Why do you think the 615 would be better? Link the timestamps?
I have an ER7212PC, and I would like to know if the 'EAP 655 Wall' would work as a mesh with the two EAP670 units I already have installed. Thanks :)
It should
Can I use these devices with my existing At&t fiber modem? Or do I need additional hardware from TP-Link?
Yes you can use them with your existing equipment

That’s really strange. Sorry it didn’t work out for you. Yeah the 655 gets toasty
Why would you call the company if the information is on the internet?

If the PoE adapter is 802.3af complaint then yes.
@@SPXLabs Thanks

Thank you for testing the omnidirectionality of the 655!
No problem
@SPX Labs do you know if eap 655 is 802.11r compliant? Or maybe all omada aps are?
Can this be added to other tplink AP to create a mesh network?

@@SPXLabs have you guys done any videos in-relation to setting up a mesh network with any of the Ap's in particular the EAP615
Nope.
What is the range?
It depends on the wireless environment
Firstestest!!! More WiFi APs for your house!
How are you always awake!?!?
@@SPXLabs I work in I.T.
Ewww gross
vent holes in 655 means it overheating on 6e with 125 clients in the same time
That’s definitely a possibility. I’m. Bit surprised they didn’t give it an aluminium backplate like their ceiling mount APs
Vent holes in electronics means they are providing ventilation. Vent holes have nothing to do with number of clients.
@@SPXLabs You mean something like the thermally conductive transfer gap filler shown at 5:37 and the actual aluminum backplate as shown at 5:45?
It’s plastic 🤷♂️
@@SPXLabs Wrong. MINE is cast aluminum. It is not plastic.
Supports 2400mbps, yet only has 1gige uplink
Right. But that’s max multi stream bandwidth not single.
It shouldn't be a problem. The Wi-Fi ceiling in reality is well below 1 Gbps.
EAP615 is much better. OpenWrt can be installed on it.
That’s awesome! I didn’t know that
