EAP 653 WiFi 6 AP Bandwidth Testing, Teardown, and Unboxing | TP-Link Omada

[@argomedoreds]

This AP is 1 year old and has recrived many updates along the way. Right now is really confident. If you dont have a poe switch there is EAP650 which comes with power adapter. Great unbox and review.😊

[@SPXLabs]

That’s great

[@techmaster170]

I'm rocking an eap660HD at home. Love me some TP link access points.

[@SPXLabs]

Yeah they seem pretty good this far

[@ShinyTechThings]

Only 1GbE😢

[@ShinyTechThings]

Yes! Voiding warranties!😮🤓😎

[@SPXLabs]

Always!

Sorry my last comment was removed as I include link to show antenna on pcb. I think the shiny tracks in the underside are the antenna you can run tracks like this to make antenna when using high frequency. The tracks in the PCB can be laid to act like an antenna. edited PCB tracks can act like antenna if laid and spaced appropriately. I recalls one of my lecturers many years ago drilled into us that a Resistor is not just a resistor but a Inductor, resistor and capacitor as the ends of the resistor act like antenna hence you have the whole study of EMI and reducing EM interference. so even tracks on a PCB act like antenna for RF floating in the airwaves, if designed and spaced correctly you can make the PCB tracks your antenna for 5ghz band. Given the wavelength decreases as F increase at 5ghz is ~6cm so 1/2 wave dipole would be 3cm. you can easily put that on a PCB. at 5:25 you see the right and left you have [ I ] shapes , i maybe wrong but those maybe the antenna. This form of design can help in MIMO and beamforming (by driving diffrent phasing of the same signal) you can direct the antenna to have higher gain in one direction and steer it for best reception. Like u see those spinning radar antennas scanning/sweaping a whole area, but do it without the spinning.

[@SPXLabs]

Oh yeah dope. Those "stand off" antenna are for the "smart antenna" functions/features. Which I learned afterwards.

[@jfkastner]

They shrank the AP ;-) 350 degrees, 30 minutes will do it, too. Nice Video!

[@SPXLabs]

I shrank too

[@ptessier73]

Wouldn't this be the "cousin" of the EAP 650? This is much better than the huge EAP 690 you showed (in another video) or the 660 in the current one, man that thing is way too big lolll. I mean with something like the EAP 653 or EAP 650 or anything like it, you can add two or more in a house to get good coverage. I have two 650 in my case, one in the basement, one on the main floor, works like a charm!

[@SPXLabs]

Idk man. Family stuff is weird. Yup you totally can do that

[@RHV044]

What's the point on supporting 2.4gbs at 5ghz if the ethernet port supports just 1gbs? Serious question, I'm trying to understand this

[@ronm6585]

Thanks. 👍🏻

[@alpachino468]

I'm pretty much done with Ubiquiti and thinking about these TP-Link APs. Can you mesh several of these together easily?

[@SPXLabs]

I haven’t tried meshing so not sure how easy it is but yes, of course you can mesh

[@Evan-lg1xp]

We want to see WIFI 6E gear and multi gig ports. This AP is old news.

[@SPXLabs]

Alright baller!

[@JasonsLabVideos]

Good one ! I've been selling these like hotcakes at work !! Cheaper and better then Unifi too !!

[@SPXLabs]

You’re cheaper and better than UniFi

@@SPXLabs ANYTHING is better then Unifi !!

[@odessit777]

Does the orientation of the antenna tell you anything about whether this unit is less effective on a wall as opposed to a ceiling? Many many reviewers claim it's very directional and not effective on a wall.

[@SPXLabs]

I don't know. I haven't tested alternative orientations however, this device is omnidirectional so it should be adequate enough. BUT there are a lot of variables to consider and I'm not about to write a thesis on KZbin. If I have time I should make a video testing it.

[@paulbenedetti8209]

I am looking for some advice. I am planning on moving into Omada here shortly and am torn between the 653 and 670 access point. I plan to have 2 and this is just for my home but both my wife and I work from home so a good strong connection that can handle work as well as everything else in the home is necessary. Do you think the 670 is overkill? Thanks for all your content, very helpful.

[@SPXLabs]

Depends on the size of your home, materials, etc etc. Omada is overkill in general. My current recommendation is GL Inet Flint 2. It’s for a blend of power users and tinkering but also cost effective and high performance.

[@paulbenedetti8209]

Thank you for the quick response. The house is 1800 sq feet, nothing massive but it has two stories and one of the driving forces here is the connection downstairs right now, even with my Velop mesh routers, is pretty crap and unreliable. Complicating this is my connection coming into the house is not centrally located. I work close to the entry point on one side of the house but my wife is essentially down a floor and on the other side of the house when working. I was hoping to maintain a mesh setup but will look into your recommendation as well. Thank you again though, very much appreciated. Any other thoughts?

[@SPXLabs]

Oh yes multifloors the worst kind of homes. Get a cable to the next floor and connect your mesh points using that cable. It will drastically improve your current setup. Can’t run a new Ethernet cable? Buy a MOCA adapter and use the current coax lines to get internet to the existing rooms. Don’t have coax. Call a professional and have them run dedicated Ethernet lines around the house. Otherwise WiFi will always be mediocre

[@paulbenedetti8209]

Thanks for being so available. I have actually already begun wiring the house but did not think about wiring the mesh node. Thanks again and keep up the great content.

[@cherylldanechristian62]

support mesh?

[@sonngolethai9000]

Can you compare it with aruba 345?

[@SPXLabs]

I wish. I don't have any Aruba devices. Sorry.

[@MrYeah88]

it will be nice to repeat the test using the EAP 650 there is some difference on the EIRP.

[@SPXLabs]

I don’t own one :/

[@User2718218]

Hello, I am hoping you can let me tap into your expertise. I am setting up a boutique ISP and am looking for a wifi6 router with a 2.5Gb ethernet port using PoE. So one or two ceiling wifi6 routers depending on the size of the apartment. I want it to have the bands that have the radar interference overlap assuming that for most customers radar interference won't be an issue. Want the MIMO, multiple simultaneous streams, etc. So can you recommend a solution in the "sweet spot" for price and performance? Something like not the latest and greatest because it will be too expensive. Rather, "previous generation" where the hardware has proven itself in the field and is very reliable and the price has come down to make it more affordable. So perhaps 90% of the performance of the latest gen at 60% of the price. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
