    Bonus backdoors too!

    • KernelOK on 04/03/2025 - 15:06

      TP-Link equipment has back doors?

      • internet-stranger on 04/03/2025 - 15:12
        +6

        The Omada range doesn’t have any discovered back doors.
        The cheapo tp-link routers that ISPs give away have been found to have back doors.

          I mean if are one of the billions using TikTok they don’t need a backdoor to you AP, they already have all your data.

            @internet-stranger: I wouldn't use TikTok.

            But even so, TikTok tracking your mobile usage isn't the same as gaining access to your internal network.

              @PainToad: You are right. TikTok tracking your mobile usage is much worse.

              Most devices now treat all networks as untrusted. E.g. Android and iPhones use DNS over HTTPS, and websites use HTTPS so all your traffic is encrypted. The only place it’s unencrypted is your end device.
              Android and iOS will cycle MAC addresses even on trusted networks.

              I’m not saying don’t secure your network, but at this point without hard evidence (and I wouldn’t call “thinking about” a TP-Link ban in the US as evidence) use what meets your features and budget.

              I personally would never buy unifi gear again, they drop models and support without warning and there are year old bugs left unfixed, not to mention the fact they don’t follow 802x standards when they don’t feel like it (passive 24v PoE, their own roaming protocol ignoring 802.11r, etc…)

                @internet-stranger: Also, VPN traffic gets 'broken up' and 'exposed' when it hits a proxy server and/or load-balancers (eg. CloudFlare, Akamai, etc.)

                Network sniffing isn't all you've got to worry about. Once an attacker is within your network they can start looking for other vulnerable devices.

                1) NAS that has exploitable protocols.
                2) Servers such as Home Assistant.
                3) Laptops and PCs with brute forceable enterypoints such as SAMBA shares, RDP, SSH (if not using private keys).
                4) Your router's telnet, SSH and webui.

                Your mindset is like "I wont lock the front door of my house while taking a shit because I lock the bathroom door".

        People shit on Chinese brands for having backdoors but when it's TP-Link they're somehow immune.

          People like to shit on TP Link when Ubiquiti has a history of terrible security and business practices, well beyond what other 'reputable' manufacturers manage. Personally I would trust Omada before Unifi.

      • Bal on 04/03/2025 - 17:20

        Very secret doors…that lead alll the way back to China.

    • cohiba30 on 04/03/2025 - 15:14

      Searching CVE database lists 25 against Omada versus 57 for Unifi. Omada isn't perfect but what is perfect at that price point?

      • internet-stranger on 04/03/2025 - 15:21

        Just to be clear, CVE means a vulnerability or bug that can be exploited for gain (sometimes access)
        Backdoor is something added intentionally to gain “secret” access.

        • SBOB on 04/03/2025 - 15:27

          A found backdoor can end up as a CVE though
          :)

      Everything has a backdoor.

      You just choose, who you think you want inside.

    Have 3 of these around the house (2 storey house) and they have been working really well. Switched from some old UniFi gear and worked out a lot cheaper to buy a new PoE switch and new APs than just getting the switch from Ubiquiti. 3 more ordered for the rest of the house now.

    • whyisave on 04/03/2025 - 16:42

      Ubiquiti may be expensive, but does TP-Link offer management panels like Ubiquiti ?

      I don't like the cloud-based options in Ubiquiti, but thought their device management is top-notch.
      (I don't have any Ubiquiti equipment, but was researching all this, a couple of years ago )

        Omada/Festa TP Link management pages/features via their web interface/config pages are pretty much inline with Ubiquiti's offering.

        • whyisave on 04/03/2025 - 17:10

          Does TP-Link allow for a non-cloud way of registering / interacting with the management pages ?

            @whyisave: Yes.
            I run the omada controller locally and when setting it up you have the opportunity to link it to your TP-Link cloud instance making it externally accessible (or not)

            @whyisave: Omada series ,yes
            Festa series, no, cloud controller only

    I have never seen these before, we are building a house soon - will definitely keep these in mind as we want it to all be network-hard-wired in.

    • whyisave on 04/03/2025 - 16:44

      Good thing with these, is they also have a PoE output socket too.

    • thorpef1 on 04/03/2025 - 17:33

      Just be mindful that they are intended to cover a single room (think hotel rooms etc) so they won't cover a large area like their ceiling mounted APs

      • SuiCid3 on 04/03/2025 - 17:51

        No issues with 3x EAP615 covering a large single storey, but yes, the ceiling mounted ones would probably give better coverage

    • SuiCid3 on 04/03/2025 - 17:49

      These are very handy in that if you have an existing standard network wall port installed somewhere, you can just take out the jack and push it back into the wall then run a short patch lead to this AP, and it will mount back to the existing bracket.

      Ubiquiti also make a similar range (but also a lot more expensive), as do other brands (though not as popular).

      They're also powered through PoE so that single cable run is more than enough. As well as offering PoE pass through on 1 port and additional etherthet ports as well.

      Another bonus with these is that they provide

  • gunnny on 04/03/2025 - 17:15

    If I connect this to my router via an Ethernet cable, does this work like a repeater/range extender?

    • SuiCid3 on 04/03/2025 - 17:40

      It's an access point, not a range extender/repeater.
      It will work fine as a new access point to your wireless network in the sense that it will 'extend' your network, but if you don't have any other Omada based AP's and not using their controller, then you lose out on fast roaming, and all the things that a managed netowkr brings.

      You can also use it as a standalone AP and it'll work like every other AP.
