Ceiling fitted AP?

[DeonH]

Good day.

I need to install a ceiling fitted AP, maybe two, in our house. It is not for gaming or any high speed stuff, mainly phone usage.

I had a look at this one and it seems to work well based on reviews I have read:

TP-Link EAP110 Wireless Access Point 300 Mbit/s Power Over Ethernet (PoE)​

I will appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you very much.

Its "quite" good, but look at the Ubiquiti models too

With that type of kit, you always get what you pay for. See: Ubiquiti Networks Unifi 6 Lite AX1500 Dual-Band PoE-Compliant Access Point

Thanks. I have just read a review on Takealot. User said that it doesn't come with a power supply. You think it is true. I will browse around. Thanks again.

TP-Link are generally pretty solid in my experience. That AP is using 2 generations old technology though, but just for basic use it'll do the job just fine. As long as you can get it cheap enough.

It's POE powered, you would just need a POE injector (in this case 24V) or a switch with POE ports.

If we're talking about the 6 Lite it uses 48v now.

I think they were referring to the TP-LINK unit.

Ah okay, yes that's also POE powered but you need 48V POE.

The TP-Link is also POE powered though, but it might come with the injector in the box.

48 volt for this one.
