If you have for example a cafe, store, hotel, office, university, you need a serious and stable network for your employees and customers. Without that, you can’t do anything nowadays. TP-Link has created several wireless access points just for such cases. And today I’m going to tell you about one of them – TP-Link EAP320.

This access point is unlikely to be useful for ordinary users for home use. If you are looking for a solution to create a home Wi-Fi network, you will be enough to have a regular Wi-Fi router, which I wrote about in this article. Yes, and very often to create a Wi-Fi network in some institutions or offices also use ordinary routers. Not rarely, the most budget models. It is clear that this is done in order to save money. I believe that this is wrong and not serious. Nowadays, in any institution there should be a fast and stable Wi-Fi network. Don’t forget that many of your customers come to you precisely because of free Wi-Fi 🙂 .

The TP-Link EAP320 is just that. It’s a gigabit, dual-band access point. Which means it will give out Wi-Fi at 2.4GHz, and 5GHz. In large business centers where there are many Wi-Fi networks, going to 5 GHz is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Minimize interference, and maximize speed.
