Please do more TP-Link Omada videos! Anything with more complex VLANs/Firewall Rules or maybe some tips and tricks people may not know about or how to use. Your videos on Omada have been great so far but I am going to switch over to Omada for my network because it's reasonably priced and would appreciate any and all info you can give. Thanks!
Don’t forget to enable 802.11K and R for a fast roaming experience under advanced WiFi settings. This will help with clients automatically hopping from one AP to the next.
When you do these speed tests please show the settings used for the WiFi. Bandwidth (20, 40, or 80), and channel used. I also suggest tests at default and then with the 2.4GHz width set to 20 and then with the 5GHz set to 80. Without knowing the settings it makes it very hard to compare and contrast different APs
Does your house have wooden dry walls, try that same test on a solid brick built house, this is the issue fitting mesh networks you have to work around the construction of the building.
Mactelecom, i actually got the eap 620 HD, not the 660…. My question is off of my modem/router, my internet is pushing anywhere from 500-700mbps, my home is small, and I installed it centrally. I am testing speeds under the access point, and im only getting like 60-90mbps… what am I doing wrong.
great comparison, like some before this comment, U6 LR vs this haha btw, too bad we cant mix and match , lol, the TP link is easier to. obtain vs Unifi U6 LR in asia. If only i can just plug and play those AP into UDM =p
Hi, you need a SPF+ adapter to RJ45 1/2.5/5 and 10G so you can plug it directly on SPF+ port on the agregator switch and have all the connections from 1 to 10G to make this tests, spite, I can't see how is possible to saturate that 2.5G Nic connection on the EAP660HD
@@MactelecomNetworks ok that will do obvious, but check this out "Mikrotik S+RJ10 - RJ45 SPF+ 10/100/1000M 2.5G/5G/10G Copper Module" and you have from Unifi also, not only do 2.5/5/10G you have to pick the ones that do, this one from Mikrotik will do for sure and work with any SPF+ Switch.
any idea where I can get the EAP620 HD in Canada? it's out of stock everywhere i look or special order only. I'm hoping to setup 3 omada switches and 2 WAP's.
Hey Randall, I’ll be doing a unifi vs tplink video about how easy each one is to fully set up. Then I’ll be doing a Tp link vs unifi vs engenius vs netgear for wifi 6 APs
Damn I knew I forgot something in the video. Probably the most important and it was the price! Fail. I agree it should be about the same price as the unifi 6 Lr
@@MactelecomNetworks TP Link has a line that seems very completive, Omada is like clone of ubiquity unifi, but its not there yet, it needs to be cheaper so people will adopt it, imo $180 for the LR so the EAP660HD should be $150 at the most, the $200 thats retailing on amazon... i will never recommend it over the LR.
EAP660HD - 2.5 Gbps ethernet port - 5 GHz: Up to 2402 Mbps - 2.4 GHz: Up to 1148 Mbps U6-AC-LR - 1 Gbps ethernet port - 5GHz: Up to 2.4 Gbps - 2.4GHz: Up to 600 Mbps So, TP-Link has better 2.4GHz speeds and ethernet port. I'm still sticking with UniFi since they are for the most part prosumer all the way and have more network products that integrate with the single controller/interface. Plus, the amount of times they push out updates. TP-Link will probably stop pushing out firmware updates after a year and half (or do so at a very slow pace) UniFi also practically never has discounts...which means you could resell your AP and only lose a few $ from original purchase. Also, I'm not a fan of TP-Link's design for Omada APs. They look bulky and/or outdatedish in comparsion to UniFi. It's nice to have alternatives, though. More competition for UniFi in this area. :)
TP-Link EAP620 and EAP660 also use more expensive broadcom chips, compared to the cheaper Realtek chips in the Unifi AP's. There are differences in the AP lines from each company.

I never knew Tp-link had this. Looks very similar to the Ubiquiti interface .
Ya it’s pretty much identical. I have a full build video of it as wel
Even TPLINK SDN UI looks the same.
@@MactelecomNetworks What router did you use? All omada compatible routers don't look as powerful as the Udm Pro

Everything was set to default which I mentioned in the video. The 2.4 was at 20 and the 5 was at 40
Are you performing the Wi-Fi tests on 2.4 or 5 GHz?
Please do compare this one with the 6 LR! Thanks
Yup most likely will do next week
Does your house have wooden dry walls, try that same test on a solid brick built house, this is the issue fitting mesh networks you have to work around the construction of the building.
Mmmm those speeds are achieved on the EAP245's that I have installed.
I want to see the compare with UniFi U6 LR
I appreciate this. I purchased 2 of these for my home (only 1500sqft) i can run all the cables and terminate, but i was concerned about setting it up

Can you help me
Do you have to mount it to the ceiling or wall? Would it work on a shelf or table top?
HI
which one do you preferer from this 2 models for high speed connective EAP660 HD or EAP620 HD...Thanks
Does this thing not support WPA3? I assume since they don't specify the version on the create new wifi page that it's only version 2.

Hey you can mix and match but you need to set them up using their own controller. So Ubiquiti with Unifi and TP-Link with Omada
Can I connect it directly to my modem and use it as a router?

If I buy a lot of them do they act as a mesh?
yes if you buy oc200 or oc300 controller for them

May I ask which smart phone are you using to perform the wifi and iperf test?
Hey it’s just called iPerf
@@MactelecomNetworks I mean which iPhone are you using? As I expect the Wi-Fi 6 might be able to run faster.
@@yogiwoo iphone 11
Can this replace UniFi AP line?
Its still need some work. But for basic functionality in a home or small business you could
Thanks!
@@MactelecomNetworks when you say it needs some work, can you elaborate?
Any updated on the vs match with unifi 6 and the tplink?
Hey Randall,
I’ll be doing a unifi vs tplink video about how easy each one is to fully set up.

Are they going to have Wifi 6 in a smaller chassis? this is too enormous to pass the Spouse Approval Test
I think they probably will in the future
I'd rather see how a wireless mesh of 3 of these AP's performs with 1 on each of your home.
Would be nice but they only sent me two
This needs to be cheaper, Ubiquity WIFI6 has the Lite for $99 and the LR for $180, while this is $200, it needs to be at least $150.

@@readeh TP Link uses Qualcomm chips for EAP620 and EAP660, not Broadcom. And Qualcomm chips are regarded as the best there are.
Should have been smaller, no way I'm putting that on my ceiling
This access point is junk, mine keeps rebooting - worthless.
