TP-Link Omada EAP772

Yes, the device features an IP68-rated enclosure, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water. It is designed to perform reliably in demanding outdoor environments.

The EAP772 is part of the Omada ecosystem, which supports centralized management via hardware controllers, software controllers, or cloud-based controllers. While you can manage it individually, using an Omada controller is recommended to unlock advanced features like seamless roaming and network-wide monitoring.

To utilize the 11000 Mbps total wireless capacity, you would ideally need a multi-gigabit internet plan. The 2.5G Ethernet port is the bottleneck here; if your wired connection is 1 Gbps, your total throughput will be limited to that speed regardless of the Wi-Fi 7 capabilities.

Yes, the EAP772 is backward compatible with older wireless standards, including 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax. Your existing devices will connect to the network, though they will not benefit from the specific performance enhancements of Wi-Fi 7.

The EAP772 is engineered to support over 380 wireless clients. Its high-performance hardware and Wi-Fi 7 features, such as Multi-Link Operation, allow it to manage high-density environments more efficiently than previous generations.

Typically, Omada access points are designed to be powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) to simplify installation, especially for outdoor or ceiling-mounted setups. You will likely need a PoE+ injector or a PoE+ switch that meets the 25.44W power requirement.
