Tried it for my company and was shot down, it's reseller only, if you don't have a distributor account with a major supplier (which part 2 of their promo program asks for), you probably won't qualify. Too bad, have over a dozen Unifi APs and was curious how they compared since they seem cheaper.

Transmission Power 5GHz:
EAP653 - 22dBm
EAP610 - 25dBm
EAP670 - 28dBm
All have a 5dBi internal omni antenna.

Why would they send their least powerful EAP as a demo unit to SMBs? I've tried the EAP610 in my house and signal strength was mediocre. The EAP670 has a much stronger signal and is on par with an ASUS RT-AX88U with external antennas. It's also a huge saucer!

Low power access points are useful in deployments where each AP serves a small but client dense area. One can then use overlapping channels with less interference between APs. Maybe that was the intent but in that case they'd need much more than two APs?

They need to add a router and I think this would be something that would be adopted a whole lot more.

Well done ;-) I have some TPLINK Switches, too, and they are reasonably priced and work well.

I don't like AC, but I wonder if there is a similar kit with a mesh network instead. Thank you for this video.

Does the EAP653 really requrie POE+? I've been running a 653 with standard a standard POE switch for a while now. Am I underpowering my 653?

Buenas, una pregunta.. Todos los equipos incluidos en el paquete Omada Demo Kit, tienen todos sus funcionalidades activas o al ser un Demo Kit tiene algunas restricciones.?

[dorkultra]

they should have bumped up the price a little more to include the TP-Link ER605 dual wan router

[PWingert]

It seems ot be available only in the US. I would have been interested but I am in Canada.

What’s the difference between the EAP650 and EAP653? I have one EAP650 already but was planning on getting two more. This would be perfect as I’m also currently running my controller in unraid.

Which hardware version of the OC200 is shipped in this kit? An old version they can't sell anymore, or the latest?
To SPX Labs: What specific issue did you have that required support to escalate to a higher tier level? We'd like to know what trouble you had. Or, is this a disguised ad for TPL?
Full discloser is appreciated. Thanks.

Wouldn't you still need a router for the demo kit?

[PhilRicardo]

Looks like us Brits can’t make use of this promo 😢

[carlhoffmann]

Seems you need to be a business and become a TP-Link Partner to get this deal. To do that, you need to provide your business information, which, in my case, I do not have, like a website. Do I really need to provide business info?

Lets talk about the Omada SDN first... Where are the features?! Standalone every device can do a lot more ...

[pbrigham]

For who dosen't know Omada is a copy of Unifi, is easy to describe this way.
