Access Point TP‑LINK EAP720 Wi‑Fi 7 dual‑band (2.4/5 GHz), 4324 Mbps, PoE+, ceiling/wall mount

TP-LINK EAP720 is a Wi‑Fi 7 dual‑band access point that provides wireless connectivity on 2.4 GHz (up to 688 Mbps) and 5 GHz (up to 4324 Mbps) bands. It supports OFDMA, BeamForming and Airtime Fairness to optimise multi‑user performance, and offers a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet uplink. Designed for ceiling or wall mounting, the unit is cloud‑managed, firmware‑upgradeable and includes PoE/PoE+ support with a 12 V DC input. Coverage is specified up to 140 m² and the compact housing measures 160 × 36.7 × 160 mm with a weight of 410 g.

Advantages

The access point delivers high wireless throughput on the 5 GHz band while maintaining legacy 2.4 GHz support, combining OFDMA and BeamForming for efficient spectrum use and improved client connections. Integrated QoS/WMM, VLAN support, rate limiting and access control features (RADIUS, ACL, MAC filtering) enable controlled, secure network operation. PoE+ support and included mounting kit simplify installation in ceiling or wall locations, and cloud/web management with firmware upgradeability streamlines administration and monitoring.

How to use

Mount the EAP720 on a ceiling or wall using the supplied mounting kit, connect the Ethernet uplink to the 2.5 Gbps RJ‑45 port and power the unit via PoE/PoE+ or the 12 V DC input. Access the device through the cloud management portal or local web interface to configure SSIDs, security (RADIUS, ACL, MAC filtering), VLANs, QoS/WMM and rate limiting. Apply firmware updates through the management interface when available and position the unit to optimise coverage within the specified area.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, place the access point centrally within the coverage area, avoid large metal obstructions, and use the 5 GHz band for high‑throughput devices while reserving 2.4 GHz for legacy or low‑bandwidth clients. Enable QoS and Airtime Fairness for mixed client environments and keep firmware up to date via cloud or web management.
