And, when I tested each of them independently, I did open up their case to see the exact components. The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network. Users can connect several devices to the network such as VoIP phones, printers, smart TVs, PCs etc without the need for extra electrical cables. Otherwise, healthcare facilities seem to be the targeted audience for the EAP615-Wall, but then again, if you have a couple of client devices that need to be connected via wire and don’t mind mounting the wall partially in the wall, then you can also give this AP a shot. Don’t expect to chain-connect a couple of PoE access points because the power that’s actually sent is approximately 12W, so there’s only a handful of options available.

Next, I removed the four screws that held the PCB in place and, after taking out the large metallic heatsink and the aluminum cover, I could identify the dual-core 880MHz Mediatek MT7621DAT chipset and it seems that the device uses the integrated 128MB of RAM (Mediatek MT7621DAT). The EAP615-Wall's higher network efficiency OFDMA and DL/UL MU-MIMO* deliver data to multiple devices simultaneously with less lag.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The TP-Link EAP615-Wall uses pretty much the same features to enhance the WiFi performance as the other two AX1800 WiFi 6 access points that I tested ( the EAP610 and the EAP610-Outdoor). The MU-MIMO is also present, as well as BeamForming, but I assume that what you’re most interested in is the mesh technology.

The TP-Link EAP610 has a single Ethernet port since the assumption is that you can’t or won’t connect wired-only client devices using a cable hanging from the ceiling (which is a fair assumption) and it’s also Gigabit. Have any of you compared the throughput, range, and maybe even power consumption before and after installing OWrt? And it works really well alongside BSS Coloring which is another piece of the puzzle to negate the terrible impact of the co-channel interference. Despite both access points being AX1800-class devices, the TP-Link EAP610 and the EAP615-Wall are built on completely different platforms. But, in terms of ports, the EAP615-Wall is better equipped, sporting not one, but four Ethernet ports, the first two being Gigabit and used for connecting client devices, while the third is PoE Out (yes, also Gigabit).I know that TP-Link mentioned that the PoE output can go up to 12W, but I had some issues powering up even some of the more basic PoE devices, so I am fairly sure that the actual output barely exceeds 10W. We're making continuous improvements to the compatibility checker and would love to hear your feedback! If you don’t connect that many compatible WiFi 6 devices, then you should see an overall better performance with the TP-Link EAP615-Wall. Professional wireless dual band access point with a slim wall plate design that seamlessly blends into any environment. TP-Link has made the teardown process of the EAP615-Wall very simple since all I had to do is remove the two screws from the bottom and then carefully detach the top cover using a prying tool.
