Overview
The TP-Link EAP772 is a BE11000 6-stream tri-band Wi-Fi 7 ceiling-mount access point for business wireless networks. It operates across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, with up to 688 Mbps, 4,324 Mbps, and 5,765 Mbps respectively on the US version. The access point includes a 2.5GbE Ethernet port and supports centralized Omada management, mesh networking, and seamless roaming.
Wi-Fi 7 Connectivity
The EAP772 supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be and uses Wi-Fi 7 technologies including Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 320 MHz channels, Multi-RUs, 4K-QAM, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, BSS Coloring, beamforming, band steering, and airtime fairness. The 6 GHz band provides additional wireless spectrum for compatible Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 clients.
Multi-Gigabit Ethernet and Power
A 2.5GbE Ethernet port provides the wired uplink for the access point and supports 802.3at PoE for network and power delivery over a single cable. The EAP772 also supports a 12V/2.5A DC input. TP-Link specifies maximum power consumption of 25.4 W when using PoE and 21.8 W when using DC power. The DC power adapter is not included.
Omada Management
The EAP772 supports centralized management through Omada Cloud-Based, Hardware, and Software Controllers. Management functions include web-based administration, SNMP, system logging, LED control, MAC access control, email alerts, wireless scheduling, VLAN configuration, captive portal authentication, and RADIUS accounting.
Wireless Capacity and Security
TP-Link specifies coverage of up to 1,500 ft² under laboratory testing and support for more than 380 concurrent clients. The EAP772 supports up to 24 SSIDs, with 8 available on each band. Security features include WPA-Personal/Enterprise, WPA2-Personal/Enterprise, WPA3-Personal/Enterprise, wireless client isolation, access control, VLANs, captive portal authentication, and rogue AP detection.
