TP-Link wifi Access Point Omada EAP653 Adapter - 2.4 - 5 GHz

TP-Link Omada EAP653 is a WiFi 6 access point of class AX3000, aimed at more serious small offices, establishments, and busier home networks. It operates simultaneously in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and reaches a total speed of up to 2976 Mbps, which is more than enough for many clients, heavy traffic, and modern services. It can be mounted on the ceiling or wall in a compact, ultra-thin round case with a diameter of 160 mm and a weight of 380 g, making it discreet and „enterprise“ in the interior. Management is entirely through the Omada SDN ecosystem – cloud, hardware or software controller, plus local web management.

What you get

Here you have a complete AX3000 Wi‑Fi 6 solution: up to 574 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz and up to 2402 Mbps @ 5 GHz (HE160), so the 5 GHz band can handle serious traffic for laptops, phones, and workstations. Support for up to 250+ simultaneous clients and up to 16 SSID (8 per band) gives you the freedom to segment the network – guests, office, IoT, cameras – with separate rules and speeds. Through SSID-to-VLAN mapping, dynamic and management VLAN you can segment traffic in an „enterprise“ way, without entering complex configurations on each device separately. Omada Mesh, Seamless Roaming with 802.11k/v/r, Band Steering, and Load Balance help clients switch smoothly between points, without losing connection while moving around the office or establishment.

• Wi‑Fi 6 class AX3000 with up to 2976 Mbps total capacity (574 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz + 2402 Mbps @ 5 GHz) provides serious air resources for many simultaneous users.
• Support for up to 250+ clients and up to 16 SSID (8 per band) allows you to segment the network by departments, roles, or guests, without mixing traffic.
• Centralized cloud management via Omada SDN (Hardware/Software/Cloud Controller + Omada App) gives you full control through a single panel, including multi-site and L3 management.
• Powerful radio optimization set – Band Steering, Load Balance, Airtime Fairness, Automatic Channel Assignment (ACS) – helps the network remain stable even under load.
• Advanced security with WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Personal/Enterprise, Enhanced Open (OWE), 802.1X, Captive Portal, RADIUS accounting and rogue AP detection covers even stricter corporate requirements.
• Flexible network features such as SSID-to-VLAN mapping, dynamic VLAN, IPv4/IPv6, Static IP / DHCP client and diagnostic tools (Ping/Traceroute/DNS lookup, packet capture, built-in terminal) make it easier for the admin.
• Power supply via 802.3at PoE+ or 12 V DC, with consumption up to 13.5–14.7 W (PoE+) and built-in lightning and ESD protection on the Ethernet port, make it easy to install and more resilient in real conditions.

Who it is suitable for

Omada EAP653 is a good choice for small and medium offices, establishments, training centers, and larger homes where there are many clients and a need for stable Wi‑Fi 6 with centralized management and VLAN segmentation. If you are looking for just a cheap access point for only a few devices, this functionality will probably be more than you need, but under serious load and need for control, it shines here.

The strongest combination is between the AX3000 Wi‑Fi 6 radio, Omada SDN management, and the rich set of security and VLAN features – you get a „serious“ access point that easily fits into a more professional infrastructure.
