TP-Link Omada EAP610GP-Desktop AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Desktop Access Point with GPON
All-in-One Wi-Fi 6 Access Point and GPON ONU for SMB Fibre Deployments
The TP-Link Omada EAP610GP-Desktop combines an AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 access point with a built-in GPON ONU (Optical Network Unit) in a single compact desktop unit. Designed for small and medium businesses deploying fibre broadband, it eliminates the need for a separate ONT and access point — simplifying installation, reducing hardware costs, and cutting down on cable clutter.
Description
Traditional fibre deployments require a separate GPON ONT to terminate the fibre connection, followed by a router or access point for wireless coverage. The EAP610GP-Desktop integrates both functions into one device, making it an efficient solution for SMB environments such as offices, retail spaces, hospitality venues, and multi-tenant buildings where simplicity and manageability are priorities.
As part of the TP-Link Omada Software Defined Networking (SDN) ecosystem, the EAP610GP-Desktop is fully managed via the Omada Controller — either hardware-based (OC300), software-based, or through the Omada Cloud. This enables centralised configuration, monitoring, and management of multiple sites and devices from a single interface, making it well suited to MSPs and IT teams managing distributed deployments across Australia.
A PoE output port allows the unit to power a downstream PoE device such as an IP phone or IoT sensor, further reducing the need for additional power infrastructure at the deployment point.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the EAP610GP-Desktop replace both the GPON ONT and the access point?
- Yes. The EAP610GP-Desktop integrates a GPON ONU (functionally equivalent to an ONT) and a Wi-Fi 6 access point in a single unit. In most SMB deployments, it eliminates the need for a separate ONT device, reducing hardware count and simplifying installation.
- Is the EAP610GP-Desktop compatible with Australian GPON fibre networks?
- The device supports the ITU-T G.984 GPON standard used by most Australian fibre network operators. Compatibility with specific carriers should be confirmed with your fibre provider or network operator prior to deployment, as some operators use proprietary ONU provisioning.
- Can the EAP610GP-Desktop be managed without an Omada Controller?
- Yes. The device can be configured in standalone mode via its web interface without an Omada Controller. However, centralised management, multi-site visibility, and advanced SDN features require an Omada Controller (hardware, software, or cloud-based).
- What devices can be powered by the PoE output port?
- The PoE output port supports IEEE 802.3af, providing up to 15.4W. Compatible devices include IP phones, VoIP handsets, IoT sensors, and other 802.3af-compliant PoE devices. It does not support 802.3at (PoE+) devices requiring more than 15.4W.
- How many SSIDs and VLANs does the EAP610GP-Desktop support?
- The EAP610GP-Desktop supports up to 16 SSIDs (8 per band) and VLAN tagging, enabling network segmentation for guest Wi-Fi, staff networks, IoT devices, and management traffic on a single access point.
