Overview
- The TP-Link EAP225 is a cost-effective AC1200 access point engineered for SMB deployments. It combines dual-band wireless capability with Power over Ethernet support, eliminating the need for separate power infrastructure at ceiling or wall mount locations.
With MU-MIMO technology and intelligent band steering, the EAP225 automatically optimises connections by moving compatible devices to the faster 5GHz band. This improves overall network efficiency and user experience, especially in dense client environments.
The included free EAP Controller software enables administrators to manage multiple access points from a single interface, simplifying deployment and ongoing management. Captive portal authentication and SSID-to-VLAN mapping support guest networks and network segmentation without additional hardware.
Built-in security features including 802.1X support, WPA2-Enterprise encryption, and rogue AP detection ensure your network remains secure. The Kensington lock slot provides physical theft prevention for public-facing installations.

FAQs
Does the TP-Link EAP225 support Power over Ethernet?
Yes, the EAP225 supports IEEE 802.3af PoE, allowing power delivery via the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power outlets at the access point location, simplifying installation on ceilings or walls. Alternatively, an external 12VDC 1.5A power supply is available.
What is band steering and how does it improve performance?
Band steering automatically directs dual-band capable devices to the faster 5GHz band when signal strength is adequate. This reduces congestion on the 2.4GHz band and improves overall network performance, especially in environments with many connected devices.
Can I manage multiple EAP225 access points from one interface?
Yes, the free TP-Link EAP Controller software allows administrators to centralise management of hundreds of access points. This simplifies deployment, configuration, and monitoring across distributed networks.
Is the EAP225 suitable for guest networks?
Yes, the EAP225 supports captive portal authentication and can create multiple SSIDs (up to 16 total). SSID-to-VLAN mapping allows you to segregate guest traffic from your main business network securely.
What mounting options are available?
The EAP225 supports both ceiling and wall mounting. Required mounting hardware is included. A Kensington lock slot is also provided for physical security in public-facing installations.
What wireless security standards does the EAP225 support?
The EAP225 supports WPA/WPA2-PSK for personal networks and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1X support for business environments. Additional security features include MAC address filtering, access control, and rogue AP detection.
What is the warranty period?
The TP-Link EAP225 comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
