Frequently Asked Questions
Does the EAP223 require a PoE switch?
The EAP223 is powered via 802.3af PoE from your uplink switch, which is the most common deployment method. Alternatively, it can be powered using a 12 V DC power adaptor (sold separately). For multi-AP deployments, a TP-Link Omada PoE switch is recommended for guaranteed compatibility and centralised management.
Can I manage the EAP223 without an Omada Controller?
Yes — the EAP223 supports standalone mode via the Omada App for basic single-AP configuration. For multi-AP sites with roaming, guest portals, and VLAN management, an Omada Controller (hardware, software, or cloud-based) is strongly recommended.
How many access points can I manage with one Omada Controller?
The Omada OC200 hardware controller supports up to 100 devices, while the OC300 supports up to 500. The Omada Software Controller and Cloud-Based Controller scale further depending on your server resources and licence.
Is the EAP223 suitable for outdoor use?
No — the EAP223 is designed for indoor ceiling-mount installations only. For outdoor coverage, consider the Omada EAP225-Outdoor or EAP620 HD Outdoor access points.
How many devices can the EAP223 handle at once?
The EAP223 supports 50+ concurrent client connections, making it well-suited for small to medium offices, classrooms, and retail environments with moderate device density.
Does it support guest Wi-Fi?
Yes. The EAP223 supports multiple SSIDs including an isolated guest network, and when managed via an Omada Controller, you can configure a fully customisable captive portal splash page for guest access.
