Interesting, we’ve never run into an issue with mesh and PoE. It sounds like misconfiguration is likely at play, and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. Many systems I encounter are often misconfigured. A lot of people don’t realize this, but IT is a broken industry like many others. Most of the time, the technology isn’t the problem-it’s the people who misconfigure things. In my opinion, DC jacks are becoming obsolete, and I wouldn’t be surprised if future access points no longer include them. We already have access points that don't include DC adapters in the box, but the access point has a DC port.
@Tek4You- I just configured a new wireless network for home use. I did a hack job with the hardware selection, it was done piecemeal. I learned a lot about wifi networks and looking at adding this beast to my configuration. AP network is all that anyone needs. Te mesh tech didn't work for me, and I doubt is works better than an AP. Thanks for the quick review.
@@Tek4You- The problem with a lot of the wifi7 aps is the power requirements exceed what Poe+ can deliver, and Poe++ switches are pricey and scarce at the moment
@Sola_Scriptura_1.618 Actually, you don't want to go with the TP-Link EAP773. You're better off going with the Ubiquiti U7 Pro (amzn.to/4dIzYds), especially since they're almost the same cost. The Ubiquiti U7 Pro is the beast, and in my testing, it outperforms the EAP773 significantly in terms of performance. However, you will need a Ubiquiti controller, though you can always use their software controller free of charge.

Power jack is needed for people who want to use it as a mesh ap. Powering in that mode via ,ethernet may cause issues.
