What it is
The TP-Link Omada EAP245 (5-Pack) is a set of five dual-band AC1750 wireless access points designed for ceiling or wall mounting. Each unit delivers up to 1750 Mbit/s combined — 450 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz and 1300 Mbit/s on 5 GHz — and is powered via PoE (802.3af), so no separate power runs are needed. All five are managed centrally through the Omada SDN controller, either hardware-based or via the cloud.
Who it's for
This pack suits businesses, schools, hotels, or any multi-room environment that needs reliable, consistent Wi-Fi across a wider area. It's a practical choice for installers rolling out a managed wireless network across a single site, where buying five units together keeps costs and deployment time down.
Why it's good
- AC1750 dual-band with MU-MIMO handles multiple devices simultaneously without the slowdown you get on older single-user MIMO units.
- Band steering automatically moves capable devices to 5 GHz, keeping the 2.4 GHz band clear for older hardware.
- Airtime Fairness stops slower devices from hogging bandwidth and dragging down the whole network.
- Supports up to 16 SSIDs per AP — useful for separating staff, guest, and IoT traffic with VLAN assignment per SSID.
- 27 dBm transmit power with beamforming gives solid coverage in larger rooms without needing additional units.
- PoE-powered at just 12.3 W per unit — clean installs with no wall adapters.
When to choose it
Choose this when you're covering a medium-to-large site and want a properly managed wireless network rather than a collection of standalone APs. It works best when paired with an Omada controller — if you have no controller in your setup and just need a simple AP, a standalone unit makes more sense. The 5-pack price point at €530 ex VAT makes it a strong option for project-based deployments where consistent coverage and central control are the priority.
