TP-Link Ceiling Mount Access Point is an Omada business access point in two grades — the EAP225 (AC1350) and the higher-capacity EAP245 (AC1750) — mounted on a ceiling and powered over its network cable.

A ceiling access point solves a problem a router cannot. A router sits wherever the broadband line enters, usually a corner of the building, and radiates outward from there — so the far rooms get whatever is left after two walls and a floor. An access point mounted centrally in the ceiling radiates downward and outward from the middle of the space, which is why one AP often covers better than a more powerful router in the wrong place.

Because they are PoE powered, there is no need for a socket in the ceiling — a single Ethernet run from a PoE switch carries both power and data. For multiple units, the Omada controller manages them as one network, so a device walking from room to room hands over between access points without dropping the connection.

Technical Specifications

EAP225 or EAP245?

Both mount and manage identically. The EAP245 has more capacity, which matters when many devices are active at once rather than when one device wants to be fast.

1) How is this better than a WiFi extender?

An extender repeats a weak signal and typically halves throughput. A ceiling access point has its own wired connection back to the network, so it delivers full speed. It is a genuinely different class of solution.

2) Do I still need my router?

Yes. An access point provides WiFi coverage, not internet. Your router still handles the connection; the AP extends wireless coverage over it.

3) How do I power it in the ceiling?

Over the network cable, via PoE. Either connect it to a PoE switch, or use a PoE injector if one is supplied. That is the point of the design — no electrical point needed at the ceiling.

4) Which should I choose, EAP225 or EAP245?

By how many devices are active at once, not by how fast one device needs to be. The EAP225 (AC1350) suits homes and small offices; the EAP245 (AC1750) has more capacity for busier spaces like hotels and larger offices.

5) Can I use several to cover a large building?

Yes, and that is the intended use. With an Omada controller they behave as a single network, so a phone moving through the building hands over between access points without dropping its connection.
