    So much better than the usual consumer mesh options.

      Absolutely. I have been using a EAP245 for a few years and it's performance and reliability has been fantastic. No real need to upgrade to this one, but very tempting!

      • Euthyphro on 16/07/2024 - 16:15

        Is there a website that you can log in to manage connected devices?

        • Tbargain12 on 16/07/2024 - 16:17
          +1

          Yep but you need a controller, which can either be installed/ran on the PC, or if you have like a cloud server set up.

          (Answer is for the EAP245; No experience with the EAP610)

          Yes there is. The AP has its own IP (which is static on my network). You just connect via the browser and it allows you to control everything you would want on an access point, such as SSID config, guest network / access, device / MAC address level access blocking, etc.

          (I don’t have an Omada controller in my network)

  • TrdiK89 on 16/07/2024 - 15:41

    are any of these two options better in anyway https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B098K3VCHC or https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0D5QFP7GS

    • dheywood on 16/07/2024 - 15:44

      The first one is the exact same device.
      The second doesn't appear to list the specific model, and has conflicting images.

    • The 10th Doctor on 16/07/2024 - 15:45

      The latter is part of the "Festa" range, not Omada.

      I've only used Omada stuff, which is more similar to Ubiquiti's range, so I'm not sure what Festa is like - but I hadn't heard of it until now. Judging from the single screenshot on their site it looks like Omada.. but they host the controller for you? https://www.tp-link.com/au/landing/festa/

      If that's the case then I guess then it depends on how much you trust the cloud :)

      • dheywood on 16/07/2024 - 15:46

        Yea, I just noticed the 'Festa' naming also. Maybe a more budget option that only offers cloud management and not self hosted.

        Must be a very new offering.

    These Omada APs are actually a very good alternative to Unifi APs or similar.
    Had around 60-70 setup at a site across 6 buildings without any issues for years.

    Not a fan of the Omada switches etc through. Was running Unifi switching and a Fortinet firewall.

    Make a good value option for mesh or multi AP wifi at homes also.

    • Tbargain12 on 16/07/2024 - 16:19

      Could be just me but I went away from Unifi and went to Omada for home set up, I've found that the Unifi had a lot of issues with Apple devices disconnecting constantly, never got to the bottom of it.

      Went to Omada and they worked fine out of the box.

        This was a fairly well documented problem. Ruckus had a run of similar issues (more minor, irrc to do with max speeds) that needed a couple releases of firmware updates to put to bed.

        • internet-stranger on 16/07/2024 - 17:05

          The issue was/is unifi don’t use the standard roaming protocols (802.11r) they use their own one with the controller managing part of it as well.
          Disabling roaming on the unifi controller drastically reduces the issues.

          • rumblytangara on 16/07/2024 - 17:11

            @internet-stranger: When I was using it, running unifi controller to manage APs tended to… make my system worse. It was like the controller was determined to move my APs onto the most congested bands possible.

  • internet-stranger on 16/07/2024 - 15:46
    +3

    I have moved from Unifi to Omada. Best decision.
    Their APs are much better, same AX rating but see better throughput.
    Their switch management in Omada controller isn’t great.. but once you figure it out it works ok. I have VLANs and LCAPs all working so it does all work.

    • Tbargain12 on 16/07/2024 - 16:27

      Agreed, I had a lot of issues with family at home complaining that their apple products are constantly disconnecting from WIFI, no issue the moment I went to Omada.

  • NinjaSniper85 on 16/07/2024 - 15:49

    Hmm. Do I need another wap

    My omada setup is already OP

    • Euthyphro on 16/07/2024 - 16:20

      Only if this one is way better than your existing one.

      • NinjaSniper85 on 16/07/2024 - 19:13

        My current ones are EAP620HD

    https://www.reddit.com/r/TPLink_Omada/comments/v4i745/eap650…

    This EAP610 seems to be pretty big (that's what she said).

    I'm getting the 650s as I'm quite sure it will pass the WAF easier.

    • Tbargain12 on 16/07/2024 - 16:21

      The 610 is the smaller one

      • MagicMikez32 on 16/07/2024 - 16:31

        I disagree, product dimensions says otherwise too.

        Edit: From TP link website - 610 V2 and above: 6.3 × 6.3 × 1.3 in (160 × 160 × 33.6 mm) which is the small form factor.

        Product dimensions here match V1 large form factor.

        Could be lucky dip.

        • Tbargain12 on 16/07/2024 - 16:50

          You're right, rings a bell now I wanted specifically to find a v2 and above 610!

          I bought mine years ago and it's already the v3.0, How likely will you get the v1?

  • Tbargain12 on 16/07/2024 - 16:27

    FYI for those wondering, the 610 is a nice small version if you don't want a massive dish (depending on your set up ofc).

    • internet-stranger on 16/07/2024 - 16:46

      I have the 673 and they are massive! Hid them in the hallways ~shrug~

      • Tbargain12 on 16/07/2024 - 16:53

        Clarifying as someone else has pointed out, v2 and above hardware is the smaller form factor, someone commented on Amazon as of 2023 they have the smaller version, so fingers crossed they won't have old stock.

  • SBOB on 16/07/2024 - 16:52

    Got a UAP-AC-LITE (circa 2018) on the roof in the middle of the house now, running off a EdgeRouter X, and docker running the controller (that i never check/look at)

    I assume this would be a pretty straight forward upgrade, though different POE supply/standard?

    • rumblytangara on 16/07/2024 - 17:08
      +1

      Replacement should be dead easy, but according to Unifi spec sheets some of those AC-LITEs ran a craptastic 24V passive PoE, but other Unifi sources say 802.3af (very typical Unifi approach to getting things right, imo).

      • internet-stranger on 16/07/2024 - 17:10
        +1

        If you have PoE switch, no issues. If you are using the Poe adapter then you will need to replace it with a “real” 48v one. If you have the white “adapter” running it via a Poe switch just get rid of the adapter.

      • The 10th Doctor on 16/07/2024 - 17:12
        +1

        I believe there was a later revision of the AC-Lites' that used 802.3af which probably explains the confusing information.

        Should be pretty simple - swap over the AP and spin up a container with the Omada software (although for one AP I think you can use the phone app and save the hassle). I can't remember if the EAP610 comes with a PoE injector or not though

        • SBOB on 16/07/2024 - 17:57

          yeah, mines currently running off a netgear switch with 802.3af POE.
          Looks like 'might' work for the netgear depending on power draw and cable distance.
          Or i need an 802.3at for more 'juice'

    • SBOB on 16/07/2024 - 19:23

      decided to roll the dice on the new TP Link Festa range (F65)

  • pooran on 16/07/2024 - 22:18

    Anyone able to successfully apply time profiles to turn wifi on/off? My aim is to have the wifi off during typical sleeping hours. I can get it to work with DENY but can't get it working with ALLOW. Reason for using ALLOW is because each day is a slider so if i wanted to turn off wifi between 11pm - 6am it would span across two days. I thought there might be a priority for ACLs so I even moved this rule to the top but no dice.

    • internet-stranger on 16/07/2024 - 22:29

      Place a deny rule under the allow for 00:01 till 23:59

      • pooran on 17/07/2024 - 14:38

        Good one! Will give it a try. Thanks.
