Review of tp-Link Eap115

A small review of the TP-Link EAP115 ceiling access point. This is almost the youngest and cheapest access point from the line of Wi-Fi solutions for business. There’s also the TP-Link EAP110 model, which is almost no different.

These access points are designed to create a large Wi-Fi network in some store, restaurant, shopping center, etc. Simply put, they are used to organize wi-fi networks in business. The access points themselves and their software were developed specifically for convenient management of a large network, as well as for stable operation of the Wi-Fi network itself under heavy loads. In principle, access point TP-Link EAP115 can be installed in a private house or apartment. It will easily distribute Wi-Fi to all your devices. But still they are more suitable for some public places, offices, cafes, etc.

Let’s take a closer look at the main features and capabilities of TP-Link EAP115:

• Maximum Wi-Fi network speed up to 300 Mbps. If you need faster access points with support for Wi-Fi 5 GHz, then take a look at TP-Link EAP320, or TP-Link EAP245 AC1750.
• IEEE 802.3af PoE support. Power over Ethernet technology allows you to send power to the access point over a network cable.
• Complete ceiling mount kit for the access point. If necessary, you can easily mount it on the wall.
• You can create multiple Wi-Fi networks with different SSIDs. And for each of them you can customize the speed limit.
• The clustering function allows you to easily manage multiple TP-Link EAP115 access points (up to 24).
• You can customize the reboot time of the access point.
• Authentication portal. Very useful thing. You can make it so that when connecting to your Wi-Fi network, clients will first get to the page for authorization.

You can see all the features in more detail on the TP-Link website.

Review

TP-Link EAP115 comes in a box like this:

It comes with the access point itself, a power adapter, a mounting kit, and instructions.

The access point itself is made of white, matte, high-quality plastic. The assembly is perfect. The front panel has only a logo and a single LED indicator. There are cooling holes on three sides. They are made to protect the access point from dust.

All the buttons and connectors are gathered in one place. There we have 1 Ethernet port, a power connector and a Kensington connector (to protect the access point from theft). There is only one button – Reset. To reset the access point to factory defaults.

You can buy these access points, connect them all via PoE-switch, and organize a real and stable Wi-Fi network in your institution. Which can be very easily managed via an EAP controller. This is how a Wi-Fi network should be built in different establishments. And not with the help of a router for 15 dollars, which is not always suitable for home use because of weak hardware. I advise you to look at the review of TP-LINK EAP120 access point.
