Frequently Asked Questions
Is the EAP772 suitable for Australian outdoor conditions?
Yes. The EAP772 carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, meaning it is fully dust-tight and can withstand temporary water immersion. It operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 70°C, making it well-suited to Australia's diverse climates from tropical north to alpine south.
Does the EAP772 require a PoE switch or injector?
Yes. The EAP772 is powered via PoE+ (802.3at, 30W) over its 2.5G uplink port. You will need a compatible PoE+ switch (such as the Omada TL-SG2210P) or a standalone PoE+ injector. A power adaptor is not included.
Can the EAP772 be managed without the Omada Controller?
Yes. The EAP772 supports standalone mode for single-unit deployments managed via a web browser. However, for multi-AP deployments, centralised management via the Omada Software Controller, OC300 Hardware Controller, or Omada Cloud is strongly recommended for seamless roaming, bulk configuration, and monitoring.
What is the maximum number of clients the EAP772 supports?
The EAP772 supports up to 1024 associated clients across all bands. Real-world capacity will depend on client device types, application usage, and RF environment. For high-density deployments, a site survey is recommended.
Does the EAP772 support seamless roaming between access points?
Yes. The EAP772 supports 802.11r (Fast BSS Transition), 802.11k (Neighbour Reports), and 802.11v (BSS Transition Management) for fast, seamless roaming — essential for voice calls, video streaming, and mobile device users moving across large outdoor areas.
Is the EAP772 compatible with existing Omada network equipment?
Yes. The EAP772 integrates fully with the Omada SDN ecosystem, including Omada routers, switches, and other access points. It can be managed alongside existing Omada devices from a single controller interface with no additional licensing fees.
