Adding more client EAPs in Standalone Mode:

Main AP can support up to 4 clients for P2MP solution.
Navigate to the Bridge Tab and tap on the + sign below the Main
AP.
The Main AP starts to scan the environment and shows discovered
devices. Tap next to add the device.
Sub-AP will be added. Don’t forget to tap on the new Sub-AP
(with blue dot) to initialize it.

Setup in Controller Mode:

Ensure OC200 and OC300 have new firmware for EAP Bridge Kit
support (Controller V 5.13 above).
Connect one EAP to the main network and power the other
EAP.
Both EAPs will be discovered on the controller.
Click on Adopt for the EAP without wireless sign (it is wired
to the network).
After adoption, the wireless EAP will be adopted
automatically.

FAQ:

Q: How many client EAPs can be supported in standalone

mode?

A: Main AP can support up to 4 clients for P2MP solution.

Q: How can I set up devices after adoption in controller

mode?

A: As the controller initializes devices, no further steps are
required to set up devices after adoption.

Setup can also be done through logging into the web interface of
each EAP in standalone mode. For a visual guide, refer to TP-Link’s
Omada Tutorial on How to Set Up the EAP Bridge KIT on YouTube. For

Summary
· Auto pairing: · The kit is auto-pairing, meaning two EAPs will be connected out of the box. · One “Main AP” can support 4 client EAPs. · Unpacking and setting up a pair will take less than 8 minutes through the Omada App. · When the uplink EAP (wired to the main network) is adopted by the controller, the
downlink EAP (from the same box) will be adopted automatically after two minutes. Other wireless EAPs can be added to the wired AP.
· Considerations: · Users must connect the main EAP to a network with a DHCP server. It can be as simple as
a wired or wireless router. · When using the bridge in standalone mode (App or GUI), all EAPs must be initialized to set
up the login account and SSID password.
