-
6 GHz Band Support: Access the uncongested 6 GHz spectrum for ultra-low latency and maximum throughput with Wi-Fi 6E/7 clients.
-
Multi-Link Operation (MLO): Wi-Fi 7 clients can simultaneously transmit and receive across multiple bands, dramatically reducing latency and improving reliability.
-
320 MHz Channel Width: Doubles the channel width of Wi-Fi 6E for significantly higher peak throughput on the 6 GHz band.
-
4K-QAM Modulation: 20% higher data rates compared to Wi-Fi 6E’s 1024-QAM under strong signal conditions.
-
2.5 Gbps Uplink Port: Multi-gigabit PoE uplink ensures the backhaul keeps pace with Wi-Fi 7 throughput.
-
MU-MIMO & OFDMA: Serves large numbers of clients simultaneously with reduced contention and latency.
-
Omada SDN Integration: Centralised management via Omada Controller (hardware, software, or cloud) with zero-touch provisioning, guest portal, VLAN, and seamless roaming.
-
Seamless Roaming (802.11r/k/v): Uninterrupted connectivity as users move between access points across the site.
Ideal Use Cases
-
Enterprise Offices: High-density open-plan workspaces and meeting rooms demanding low-latency, high-throughput Wi-Fi 7 for dozens of simultaneous users.
-
Hotels & Conference Centres: Per-floor or per-zone coverage with guest portal, VLAN isolation, and seamless roaming across large venues.
-
Education Campuses: Lecture theatres, libraries, and student common areas with extreme device density and roaming requirements.
-
Healthcare Facilities: Reliable, low-latency wireless for medical devices, tablets, and staff communications across multi-floor buildings.
-
Retail & Shopping Centres: High-throughput Wi-Fi for POS systems, digital signage, staff devices, and customer guest networks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Wi-Fi 7 client devices to benefit from the EAP772?
No — the EAP772 is fully backwards compatible with Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and older clients. Existing devices will connect on the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands as normal. Wi-Fi 7 features such as MLO and 320 MHz channels are only available to Wi-Fi 7 client devices, but all clients benefit from the improved network efficiency and reduced congestion the EAP772 provides.
Is the 6 GHz band available in Australia?
Yes. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has approved the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi use in Australia. The EAP772 is fully legal to operate on 6 GHz in Australia.
Does it require a PoE+ switch?
Yes. The EAP772 requires 802.3at PoE+ (not standard 802.3af PoE) due to its higher power draw of up to 25.5 W across three radio bands. Ensure your switch or injector supports PoE+ on the port connected to the EAP772.
Does the 2.5 Gbps uplink require Cat6A cabling?
Cat6A is recommended for 2.5 Gbps runs over longer distances (up to 100 m). Standard Cat6 cable can support 2.5 Gbps at shorter runs (typically up to 50–70 m depending on installation quality). Cat5e is not recommended for multi-gig speeds.
Can I manage the EAP772 without an Omada Controller?
Yes — the EAP772 supports standalone mode via the Omada App for basic single-AP configuration. For multi-AP deployments with seamless roaming, guest portals, VLAN management, and centralised policy control, an Omada Controller (hardware, software, or cloud-based) is strongly recommended.
What is Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and why does it matter?
MLO is a key Wi-Fi 7 feature that allows a device to simultaneously send and receive data across multiple frequency bands (e.g. 5 GHz and 6 GHz at the same time). This significantly reduces latency, improves reliability, and increases throughput compared to Wi-Fi 6E, where a device can only use one band at a time. MLO requires both the access point and the client device to support Wi-Fi 7.
