Note: To power an 802.3af device in the LAN, you must use 802.3at PoE+ input.
Installation Steps
The EAP can be mounted into an 86 mm wall junction box, a standard EU wall junction box, or a
standard US junction box. The junction box should be pre-installed with a running-in-wall Ethernet
cable connected to a PoE switch.

Standard EU wall junction box86 mm wall junction box Standard US wall junction box
Note: For simplicity, the 86 mm wall junction box is used as an example below.
1. Detach the faceplate of the junction box with a Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the enclosed screws and tighten them with a Philips screwdriver to secure the mounting
bracket.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable inside the junction box to an RJ45 plug. Then connect the cable to
the ETH0 (PoE IN) port. Position the Ethernet cable to ensure it is not strained.
Note:
If the junction box does not have enough room to accommodate the EAP, replace the junction box with
an open‑end junction box or a deeper one.
4. Attach the EAP to the mounting bracket by aligning the two mounting studs on the mounting
bracket with the large openning of the slots on the EAP. Press and slide the EAP down until it
locks into place.
Note:
Do not over tighten the screws.
If the enclosed screws do not t the junction box, use the screws attached to the junction box instead.
When mounting the bracket to a standard US junction box, use the holes on the top and bottom sides.

A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP addresses
to the EAPs and clients in your local network.
Omada Controller must have network access to your Omada devices (the router, switch, and
EAPs) in order to find, adopt, and manage them.
Choose from the following two types of Omada Controller:
On a PC with Windows OS or Linux OS, download the Omada Software Controller from
https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/omada-software-controller/. Then run the file and
follow the wizard to install and launch the Omada Software Controller.
To manage your devices, Omada Software Controller needs to keep running on your computer.
Type 1: Omada Software Controller
Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300) is a good alternative if you have no spare PC to keep
running Omada Software Controller in the network. It needs to be purchased additionally.
For more details, refer to the Installation Guide of OC200/OC300.
Type 2: Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300)
To configure and manage EAPs in batches on a central platform, namely Omada Controller.
