RESET
With the device powered on, press and hold the button for about 5 seconds until the LED flashes quickly. Then release the button. The device will restore to factory default settings.
Ethernet Port: ETH (PoE)
The port is used to connect to a router or a switch to transmit data, or to a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment), such as a PoE switch, for both data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) through an Ethernet cable. The port supports a transmission speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps.
Power Port
Plug one end of the provided power adapter to this port and the other end to a standard electrical wall outlet to power the EAP. Please use the power adapter provided in the package.

Hardware Installation

The EAP can be mounted to the ceiling, the wall, or in a junction box, using the screws in the package.
Choose the appropriate mounting and installation steps below.
Note: This product requires heat dissipation through the metal bracket during use, please be careful not to touch the metal bracket in the heat dissipation.tp link EAP650 AX3000 Ceiling Mount WiFi 6 Access Point - figure

  1. Remove the ceiling tile.

  2. Place the mounting bracket in the center of the ceiling tile. Mark four positions for the screw holes and a location for the Ethernet cable hole.
    Drill four 4 mm (5/32 in) diameter holes for the screws and a 25 mm (63/64 in) diameter hole for the Ethernet cable at the marked positions.

  3. Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling tile using four M3x30 pan-head screws, washers, and wing nuts, as shown on the left.

  4. Feed the Ethernet cable through the hole and set the ceiling tile back into place.

  5. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
    Please pay attention to the triangle sign. Attach the EAP to the mounting bracket, then rotate it until it locks into place, as shown on the left.

Option 2: Wall Mounting

tp link EAP650 AX3000 Ceiling Mount WiFi 6 Access Point - figure

  2. Insert the plastic wall anchors into the 6 mm diameter holes.

  3. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall by driving the self-tapping screws into the anchors. Make sure that the shoulders of the mounting bracket are on the outside.

  4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the EAP.

  5. Attach the EAP to the mounting bracket by rotating it until it locks into place, as shown on the left.

Option 3: Junction Box Mounting
Prepare the cables and the junction box in advance. Ensure that the mounting holes align with your junction box.
*Compatible wall junctions:

Route the cables through the square cable hole on the mounting bracket, and secure the mounting bracket to the junction box using screws. Then follow Step 4 and Step 5 of Option 2 to complete the installation.

Power Supply

The EAP can be powered via a power adapter or a PSE device (such as a PoE switch) that complies with LPS or PS2 standards.
Option1: Via PoE Switch (Compliant with 802.3at)tp link EAP650 AX3000
Ceiling Mount WiFi 6 Access Point - figure 17

Connect an Ethernet cable from the PoE switch (compliant with 802.3at ) to the Ethernet port.
Note: EAP610 V3 is also compliant with 802.3af.
Option2: Via Power Adaptertp link EAP650 AX3000 Ceiling Mount WiFi 6
Access Point - figure 18

Plug one end of the provided power adapter into the power port of the EAP and the other end to a standard electrical wall outlet.

Software Configuration

Choose from the following methods to set up your EAPs:

  • Method 1: Standalone Mode
    To configure and manage EAPs separately (Convenient for a small network with only a few devices)

  • Method 2: Controller Mode
    To configure and manage EAPs in batches on a central platform, namely Omada Controller.

Method 1: Standalone Modetp link EAP650 AX3000 Ceiling Mount WiFi 6
Access Point - figure 19

Note:
Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to the topology figure.
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.

Via Omada App

  1. Download the TP-Link Omada App on your mobile device. It can be downloaded from App Store or Google Play:
    tp link EAP650 AX3000 Ceiling Mount WiFi 6 Access Point - figure
20https://www.tp- link.com/common/app/omada/qrcode.php

  2. Connect your mobile device to the EAP by using the default SSID (format: TP-Link_2.4GHz/5GHz_XXXXXX) printed on the label at the bottom of the product.

  3. Open the Omada App, and wait for the EAP to appear on the Standalone APs page. Tap on the EAP you want to configure.

The Omada App is designed to help you quickly configure the common settings. If you want to configure advanced settings, use the web page of your EAP  or use Controller Mode.

Via Web Browser

  1. Connect wirelessly by using the default SSID (format: TP-Link_2.4GHz/5GHz_XXXXXX) printed on the label at the bottom of the product.
  2. Launch a web browser and enter http://tplinkeap.net in the address bar. Use admin for both Username and Password to log in.
  3. Set up a new Username and Password for secure management purposes. Modify the wireless parameters and reconnect your wireless devices to the new wireless network.

To configure other EAPs, connect your device to the EAP by the corresponding default SSID and repeat the steps listed above. You can configure some basic functions in Standalone Mode. If you want to configure advanced functions, use Controller Mode.

Method 2: Controller Mode
Choose from the following two types of Omada Controller:

To manage your devices, Omada Software Controller needs to keep running on your computer.tp link EAP650 AX3000 Ceiling Mount WiFi 6 Access Point -
figure 21

Type 2: Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300)
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.

Note:
Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to the topology figure.
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.

Via Omada App

  1. Download the TP-Link Omada App on your mobile device. It can be downloaded from App Store or Google Play:
