Frequently Asked Questions
Does the EAP673 require a separate power adapter?
No. The EAP673 is powered via 802.3at PoE+ through its 2.5G uplink port. A compatible PoE+ switch or injector is all that's needed — no separate power adapter is required.
What controller is needed to manage the EAP673?
The EAP673 is compatible with the Omada Software Controller (free, PC/Linux/Docker), the OC200 or OC300 hardware controllers, and the Omada Cloud-Based Controller. It can also be managed in standalone mode via the Omada app for smaller deployments.
Is the 6 GHz band available in Australia?
Yes. The 6 GHz Wi-Fi band (Wi-Fi 6E) is approved for use in Australia by the ACMA. Ensure your client devices also support Wi-Fi 6E to take advantage of the 6 GHz band.
How many access points can I deploy in one Omada network?
The Omada SDN platform supports large-scale deployments. The OC200 manages up to 100 devices, the OC300 up to 500, and the Software Controller scales further depending on server resources.
Can the EAP673 support seamless roaming between multiple APs?
Yes. The EAP673 supports 802.11r (Fast BSS Transition), 802.11k (Neighbour Reports), and 802.11v (BSS Transition Management) for seamless, low-latency roaming across multi-AP deployments.
What is the maximum number of clients the EAP673 can support?
The EAP673 is rated for up to 1024 concurrent client connections, making it well-suited for high-density environments such as conference centres, schools, and large offices.
