Key Specifications

Expand Your Network with Advanced MU-MIMO

The TP-Link TL-WA1200 wireless access point 867 Mbit/s White Power over Ethernet (PoE) uses Multi-User MIMO technology to simultaneously serve multiple devices, reducing lag and improving throughput. Four external antennas provide stable coverage across larger areas, while automatic channel selection prevents interference from nearby networks. This makes it perfect for environments where multiple users stream, video conference, or transfer large files concurrently.

Flexible Deployment Options

This access point supports multiple operating modes including Access Point, Client, Universal WDS Repeater, and Wireless Bridge. The PoE capability allows for clean installation up to 30 metres from your power source, eliminating the need for nearby electrical outlets. Whether you’re creating a mesh network, extending coverage to a warehouse, or connecting isolated devices, the TL-WA1200 adapts to your specific requirements.

Enhanced Security & Network Management

Built-in WPA/WPA2 encryption protects your network from unauthorised access, while the Access Control List (ACL) allows you to specify which devices can connect. Quality of Service (QoS) prioritisation ensures critical applications receive bandwidth preference. The device also supports VLAN tagging for network segmentation, making it suitable for businesses that need to separate guest networks from internal systems.
