TP-Link Omada EAP653 UR 2976 Mbit/s PoE Wireless Access Point

TP-Link Omada EAP653 UR – WiFi 6 Performance in a Slim Ceiling Mount

The TP-Link Omada EAP653 UR wireless access point 2976 Mbit/s White Power over Ethernet (PoE) is built for demanding business networks. We designed this compact dual-band unit for offices, hotels, classrooms, and cafés. It combines WiFi 6 throughput with full Omada SDN cloud management. That means high-speed wireless and simplified oversight from a single dashboard.

TP-Link Omada EAP653 UR wireless access point 2976 Mbit/s White Power over Ethernet (PoE) — core numbers

Simultaneous multi-device performance

WiFi 6 brings OFDMA and MU-MIMO to the EAP653 UR. Both technologies let the access point serve multiple clients at the same time. So your staff and guests experience fewer delays, even during peak usage. Because the 5 GHz band reaches 2402 Mbit/s, video calls and large file transfers stay smooth.

Smart channel and power optimisation

Deploying a single AP is simple. Scaling across a building takes more care. The EAP653 UR uses automatic channel scanning and power adjustment to coordinate with neighbouring access points. Each unit adapts its settings to reduce interference. In practice, this means consistent coverage without hours of manual tuning.

Cable-free extension with Omada Mesh

Not every location has a nearby Ethernet socket. Omada Mesh lets the EAP653 UR extend your network wirelessly. The mesh finds the best path between access points automatically. If one node fails, traffic reroutes through a different path. This makes it a strong choice for multi-floor buildings or heritage sites where cabling is impractical.

Seamless handover for users on the move

Fast Roaming switches each client to the strongest nearby AP without a visible drop. Guests walking through a hotel corridor stay connected. Staff moving between meeting rooms keep their video calls running. This feature works silently in the background and requires no user action.

Guest isolation, VLANs, and WPA3 security

The access point supports up to 16 separate SSIDs. You can isolate guest traffic from internal systems using VLAN tagging. WPA3 encryption adds stronger protection for open public networks. A captive portal supports SMS login, Facebook Wi-Fi, and voucher-based access. So you can market to visitors while keeping your core network secure.
