TP-Link EAP673 AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Ceiling Mount Access Point

Overview

The EAP673 is a ceiling-mount Wi-Fi 6 access point designed for enterprise and commercial deployments requiring high-throughput wireless coverage across medium to large floor plans. It delivers 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 4,804 Mbps on 5 GHz, totaling 5.4 Gbps aggregate throughput—sufficient for dense client loads in office, warehouse, or facility automation environments. The single Gigabit Ethernet port supports IEEE 802.3at PoE and 12V DC input, eliminating the need for separate power infrastructure in most ceiling installations. The EAP673 integrates into Omada SDN for centralized cloud management and supports seamless mesh networking across multiple units.

Compatibility

The EAP673 works within TP-Link's Omada ecosystem, pairing with Omada Controller (hardware or cloud-based) for centralized provisioning and monitoring. It supports Omada Mesh and Roaming protocols, enabling seamless client hand-off across multiple EAP673 units without disconnection. The access point operates in two modes: standard AP mode (Ethernet-connected) or Wi-Fi extender mode (802.11ax backhaul via wall-plate installation). Compatible with any standard 802.3at PoE injector or PoE switch capable of delivering 12V DC or passive PoE. No vendor-specific cables or controllers required—interoperates with any Omada-compatible network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Ceiling mount design requires standard suspended ceiling grid or wall surface with 1.5-inch clearance above the unit for antenna deployment. The 80 mm (W) × 37.8 mm (D) × 160 mm (H) form factor fits standard ceiling cutouts. Install temperature range: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Power draw: 12V DC via 802.3at PoE or standard AC power supply. The Gigabit Ethernet port handles both uplink (to controller or core network) and local client traffic; no separate management VLAN required but recommended for production deployments. Six internal antennas (2x 5 dBi at 2.4 GHz, 4x 6 dBi at 5 GHz) optimize coverage in open ceiling environments; verify line-of-sight to dense client clusters before final placement.
