TP-Link EAP225 AC1350 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Ceiling Mount Access Point

Ceiling-mount access points are the professional standard for Wi-Fi deployment in commercial spaces: positioned overhead on the ceiling, they provide consistent omnidirectional coverage across the floor area below, avoiding the dead spots and direction-dependent signal quality of wall-mounted units. In offices, retail spaces, hotels, and public areas, ceiling APs provide the even coverage pattern expected of a professional Wi-Fi installation.

AC1350 provides 400Mbps on 2.4GHz and 867Mbps on 5GHz. MU-MIMO allows the access point to serve multiple client devices simultaneously on the 5GHz band without queuing, maintaining throughput as more users connect. This is important in commercial environments where many simultaneous client devices connect concurrently.

The EAP225 integrates with the TP-Link Omada SDN controller software (or Omada hardware controller) for centralised management of multiple access points from a single interface. This allows an installer to configure and manage all EAP225 units across a deployment from one location, set SSIDs, VLANs, guest networks, and access policies, and monitor client associations and traffic.

The distinction from the EAP225-Outdoor is purely the housing: the standard EAP225 is the indoor ceiling-mount version without weatherproofing, while the Outdoor variant has an IP55 weatherproof housing for external positions.

For network installers deploying professional managed Wi-Fi in offices, hospitality venues, schools, and commercial spaces across London and the UK, the EAP225 provides the AC1350 ceiling-mount AP for this managed deployment.
