It requires a Passive PoE injector or a compatible Passive PoE switch. Using it with a standard 802.3af\/at PoE switch without a Passive PoE injector may not power the device correctly. Check compatibility before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between Access Point mode and Range Extender mode?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eAccess Point mode\u003c\/strong\u003e, the TL-WA1801 connects to your router via Ethernet and broadcasts a new Wi-Fi network — ideal for wired backhaul deployments. In \u003cstrong\u003eRange Extender mode\u003c\/strong\u003e, it connects wirelessly to your existing router and rebroadcasts the signal to extend coverage — useful where running a cable is not practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Captive Portal for a cafe or retail store?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The built-in Captive Portal allows you to create a branded guest login page where customers must accept terms or view a message before accessing the internet. It’s well suited to cafes, salons, retail stores, and any venue offering customer-facing Wi-Fi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many SSIDs can the TL-WA1801 broadcast?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TL-WA1801 supports Multi-SSID mode, allowing multiple separate wireless networks to be broadcast from a single device — useful for separating guest and staff networks without additional hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the TL-WA1801 compatible with the TP-Link Omada SDN platform?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The TL-WA1801 is managed via the TP-Link Tether app or web interface and is not part of the Omada SDN ecosystem. For centralised multi-AP management via Omada Controller, consider TP-Link’s Omada EAP access point range instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the TL-WA1801 be ceiling mounted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The TL-WA1801 supports both wall and ceiling mounting. Mounting hardware is included in the box, and the compact design blends into most commercial and residential interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1554\/1221\/files\/TL-WA1801_EU_US_1.0_Datasheet.pdf?v=1699366740\" class=\"download-link\"\u003e📄 TL-WA1801 Datasheet (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TP-Link","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44385970192613,"sku":"TL-WA1801","price":119.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1554\/1221\/files\/tp-link-tl-wa1801-ax1800-gigabit-wifi-6-access-point.webp?v=1779855378","url":"https:\/\/cctvguru.com.au\/products\/tp-link-tl-wa1801-ax1800-gigabit-wifi-6-access-point","provider":"CCTV Guru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
