TP-Link EAP115 Omada N300 Wireless N Ceiling Mount Access Point

Description

The TP-Link EAP115 Omada N300 Wireless N Ceiling Mount Access Point is an affordable, business-class Wi-Fi solution designed for small offices, retail spaces, or hospitality venues requiring reliable indoor coverage. Operating on the 2.4GHz band with 802.11b/g/n standards, it delivers speeds up to 300Mbps (40MHz, MCS0-MCS7, NSS 1-2) using 2×2 MIMO, suitable for basic tasks like browsing, email, and light streaming. Airtime Fairness and Load Balancing optimize performance by limiting users per AP and disconnecting weak-signal devices. It supports up to 100 clients, making it ideal for low to medium-density environments.

Equipped with two internal omni-directional antennas (4dBi), the EAP115 provides consistent coverage (typically 10–20m indoors, depending on environment). Its compact, low-profile design (189.4 × 171.5 × 47.5 mm, white) blends into ceilings or walls, with included mounting kits for flexible installation. The one Fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps) port supports 802.3af/at PoE (Alternative A) and 9V/0.6A external power, enabling power and data over a single cable, reducing cable clutter. The Qualcomm CPU ensures efficient handling of concurrent connections.

Integrated into Omada SDN (Software Defined Networking), the EAP115 supports Zero-Touch Provisioning, cloud-based management, and the Omada app for centralized control across multiple sites. Captive portal authentication (SMS, Facebook Wi-Fi, Voucher) ensures secure guest access, while multi-SSID (up to 8) enables network segmentation. Security features include WPA/WPA2-PSK, 64/128/152-bit WEP, 802.1X, wireless MAC filtering, SSID-to-VLAN mapping, wireless isolation, and rogue AP detection. Additional features like scheduling (auto-reboot/Wi-Fi on/off) and rate limiting enhance network management. Reviews praise its affordability ($30–$50), easy 20-minute setup, and reliable performance for small setups (e.g., 200Mbps at close range), but note the non-Gigabit port and single-band 2.4GHz operation as limitations, especially in high-interference areas.
