The TP-Link EAP723 Wi-Fi 7 Access Point is a high-end AP featuring the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, delivering ultra-fast transmission speeds significantly surpassing previous generations. It supports dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with multi-link, multi-channel technologies to enhance overall bandwidth and reduce interference from other devices.
Key Highlights
This device is designated with BE9300 speed, meaning the total theoretical speed across bands reaches approximately 9300 Mbps.
- Wi-Fi 7 Standard (802.11be): The most prominent feature, bringing breakthrough technologies compared to Wi-Fi 6/6E:
- MLO (Multi-Link Operation): Allows Wi-Fi 7 devices (such as phones, laptops) to connect and transmit/receive data simultaneously across multiple bands (e.g., both 5 GHz and 6 GHz). This reduces latency to an extremely low level, increasing speed and reliability.
- 320 MHz Channels: Supports channel bandwidth up to 320 MHz on the 6 GHz band, doubling the "road width" compared to 160 MHz of Wi-Fi 6/6E, allowing more data transmission.
- 4K-QAM: Packs more data into each packet compared to 1K-QAM of Wi-Fi 6, increasing theoretical throughput.
- Tri-Band Support: EAP723 operates concurrently on 3 bands to optimize performance:
- 6 GHz Band: Speeds up to 5760 Mbps (320 MHz Channel).
- 5 GHz Band: Speeds up to 2880 Mbps (160 MHz Channel).
- 2.4 GHz Band: Speeds up to 688 Mbps.
- 10 Gbps PoE++ Port: To meet the BE9300 wireless speed, the EAP723 is equipped with a 10 Gbps Ethernet port. This port also supports power over network PoE++ (802.3bt standard), allowing both data and power to be transmitted over a single network cable.
- Centralized Management via Omada SDN: As an EAP series device, the EAP723 is fully integrated into the Omada SDN platform. You can manage, configure, and monitor hundreds of APs (as well as Omada switches and routers) through a single interface:
- Hardware Controller (e.g., OC200, OC300).
- Software Controller installed on PC/server.
- Cloud-Based Controller.
- Professional Design: Slim, modern design in white, easily blending into office environments when ceiling-mounted.
Intended Use
Designed for the most demanding scenarios:
- Ultra-High Density Environments: Stadiums, auditoriums, convention centers, universities.
- Ultra-Low Latency Applications: Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), professional 8K gaming/streaming.
- Large Enterprises and Offices: Where hundreds of devices need stable, high-speed connections.
- Future-Proofing: Organizations wanting to invest in the latest network infrastructure ready for upcoming Wi-Fi 7 devices.
User Guide
- Physical Installation:
- Mount on ceiling or wall using the included kit.
- Connect the RJ-45 (2.5G) port to a PoE-supported switch/router or use 12V DC power if not using PoE.
- Ensure good ventilation, no antenna obstruction, away from high heat or moisture.
- Network Connection & Power:
- If switch supports PoE (802.3at), power via network cable.
- If using separate power: use 12 V/1.5 A adapter.
- Initial Configuration:
- Access management interface via Web UI or Omada management system (cloud/local) - e.g., Omada app scanning device QR code.
- Set SSID names, passwords, security standards (WPA3 recommended).
- Configure VLAN, bandwidth limits, guest network separation.
- Optimization:
- Place centrally, free from metal/water/thick wall obstructions.
- Choose appropriate channel/bandwidth.
- Update firmware periodically.
Important Notes
- This is an Access Point, not a Router: It requires a router/firewall (like TP-Link Omada ER-series) to assign IPs and manage the network.
- Network Infrastructure Requirements: Requires a 10 Gbps Switch and PoE++ (802.3bt) power supply.
- Controller Requirement: Designed to be managed via Omada Controller.
