TP-Link EAP245 AC1750 Access Point. Wi-Fi Solution for Restaurants, Hotels, Shops

In most cases, the organization of wi-fi networks in different institutions, shopping centers, hotels, educational institutions are engaged in specialists. And it is right. But not everyone can afford the services of these specialists and do it themselves. Especially, this applies to small cafes, stores, offices, etc. Nowadays it is difficult to find any institution without its own wi-fi network, which can be used by customers and visitors of this institution. Someone makes an open wi-fi network, someone gives the password only to customers, or generally takes a separate fee for access to the Internet.

In order to save money, the owners of such establishments install one, the most common router. Not rarely one of the cheapest. Such models at home do not always cope with the tasks at hand, and there is such a load. Therefore, in different public places, in most cases, it is impossible to use the Internet through Wi-Fi networks at all. And all because this network is not properly built.

There are separate devices for organizing wireless networks in business. I will tell you about one of such devices in this article. This is a dual-band access point TP-Link EAP245. This access point is created exactly for organizing wi-fi in different establishments. When you need to create a stable wireless network, cover the necessary area with the signal, and without problems to manage all access points.

All this works as follows: a router is installed, to which the Internet is connected. Then put a switch, to which we connect the necessary number of access points. For example, TP-Link EAP245. We get a stable network for our clients with a large radius of coverage. This way you can make a network for example throughout the hotel or university.

TP-Link EAP245 review

The device comes in a small box, on which the main characteristics are indicated.

The kit contains everything you need. Mounts, power adapter, detailed installation instructions.

The entire access point is made of white matte plastic. On the front panel there is only the company logo and the operation indicator.

On the side, on one side there is a connector for the power adapter, Ethernet port, recessed Reset button for resetting the settings, and Kensington connector with which you can secure the access point so that your customers do not take it away with them 🙂 🙂 .

Despite the fact that this access point is positioned as a business solution, the price is very good.
