Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 ceiling and wall mount access points for business wireless networks. PoE powered from TP-Link for a single-cable install with no separate power lead needed.

This range covers ceiling and wall mount access points for business wireless networks, all from TP-Link and all PoE powered so a single cable carries data and power. It suits installers fitting wireless coverage into offices, meeting rooms and small sites.

Choosing an access point

  • WiFi generation: choose between WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 access points depending on the client devices and throughput the site needs.
  • Mounting: ceiling mount units sit in a suspended ceiling grid, wall plate units mount directly to a wall or back box.
  • Power: units are PoE powered, so plan a PoE switch port for each access point instead of a local power socket.
  • Uplink: access points connect back to the network over a Gigabit RJ45 port.

Compare WiFi 5 Access Points and WiFi 6 Access Points, then pick up a PoE Switch to power them from Ethernet Switches and Networking.

Wi-Fi FAQs

What is the difference between WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 access points?

WiFi 6 access points are the newer standard, generally handling more connected devices at once more efficiently than WiFi 5. Both are available as ceiling or wall mount units in this range from TP-Link, so choice depends on site requirements and budget.

Do these access points need a PoE switch?

Yes, the access points in this range are PoE powered, taking both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. You will need a switch port with PoE, such as one from the PoE Switches range, to run them.

Can I mix ceiling and wall mount access points on the same network?

Yes, ceiling and wall mount access points can be run together on the same network. Choose the mounting style per room based on the ceiling type and cable route available.
