tp-link APs EAP770 and EAP725

I received the TP-Link APs last November or December. I can recall the exact day. OK, I got two EAP770 and one EAP725.

Let me put the descriptions of them.

EAP770

BE11000 Ceiling Mount Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Access Point.

BE11000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7: 5765 Mbps (6 GHz) + 4324 Mbps (5 GHz) + 688 Mbps (2.4 GHz). Buffering will no longer be a problem.
1× 2.5G Port: Unlock the full potential of Wi-Fi 7.
Clear 6 GHz Band: Brings cleaner and wider band resources to your Wi-Fi.
320 MHz Bandwidth: Up to 320 MHz bandwidth enables many more simultaneous transmissions at the fastest possible speeds.
Low Latency and Interference: Multi-Link Operation, and Multi-RUs ensure high performance of your network.
Advanced Functions： Supports centralized management, Mesh, and Seamless Roaming

The EAP770 is quite heavy. I mounted one on the ceiling of the main floor. It can cover the area of my 600 sq ft floor. I pulled a CAT5e cable from the basement to it. A Cat5e cable can provide both data and power. The EAP770 is 2.5G PoE+. So it’s quite simple for installation.

Oh, I managed it with Omada Controller software, which is running in a VM.

The second EAP770 AP I installed in the second floor, vertically on the wall. I give it power only. So it is wirelessly connected to the network.

EAP725-Wall

Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7: 4324 Mbps on 5 GHz and 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz.
Versatile Ports with PoE Flexibility: 1× 2.5G PoE Input port, 1× 2.5G PoE pass-through port, and 2× Gigabit downlink ports.
Low Latency and Interference: Multi-Link Operation, Multi-RUs, and 4K-QAM ensure high performance for your network.
Complete In-Room Wi-Fi Coverage: Guaranteed strong signals and corner-to-corner Wi-Fi coverage up to 750ft² (70 ㎡).
Flexible Deployment and Easy Setup: Supports 802.3at/bt PoE for flexible installation with Omada SDN for one-click setup.
Advanced Features: Supports centralized cloud management, Mesh, and Seamless Roaming.

Now the EAP725 is in the basement.

I removed an Ethernet panel that I customized on the bookshelf. Connected the existing CAT5e cable to the EAP725. Mount it on the existing box. Due to the space under it I have to install the EAP725 upside down.
