Image Description: This diagram illustrates two methods for effortless deployment of the EAP670 access point: using Power over Ethernet (PoE+) or a Mesh connection. One EAP670 is shown connected to a PoE switch via an Ethernet cable, indicating power and data delivery. Another EAP670 is shown wirelessly connected in a mesh configuration, highlighting cable-free network access. The background shows a busy office environment, suggesting suitability for commercial spaces.

Operating and Management

The EAP670 V2 can be managed through the Omada SDN platform, offering flexible control options and advanced wireless features.

Omada Software Defined Networking (SDN):

The Omada SDN platform integrates various network devices, including access points, switches, and gateways, providing a unified management interface. You can choose from the following control options:

• Omada Hardware Controller: A dedicated hardware device for on-premises management.
• Omada Software Controller: Software that can be installed on a PC or server for on-premises management.
• Omada Cloud-Based Controller: A cloud service for remote management (contact TP-Link for details on compatible models and availability).

Standalone mode is also supported for managing individual access points without an Omada controller.

Image Description: This image depicts the Omada SDN platform, showcasing its flexible management capabilities. It illustrates how Omada Access Points (including ceiling mount, wall plate, and outdoor models), Jetstream Switches, and Omada Security Gateways are integrated. These devices can be managed through a Unified Management Interface via various controllers: Hardware Controller, Software Controller, or Cloud Access. The diagram emphasizes the centralized control and unified network management provided by Omada SDN.

Cloud Access and Omada App:

For convenient remote management, the Omada app allows you to control your network from anywhere, anytime. Simply launch the app, scan the S/N code on the product package, and follow the on-screen instructions to add your device and begin managing it. This feature is ideal for managing multiple sites or for administrators on the go.

Image Description: This image illustrates the Omada Smarter Cloud Solution for Business Networking. It shows various Omada devices, including the EAP670 Wi-Fi 6 AP, Wall Plate AP, Outdoor AP, Omada Security Gateway, and JetStream PoE Switches, all connected and managed centrally. The bottom part of the image displays a tablet and a smartphone running the Omada app, demonstrating remote cloud access and management. QR codes for downloading the Omada app from the App Store and Google Play are also visible.

Advanced Wireless Technologies:

• Mesh WiFi: Create a seamless mesh network for extended coverage and simplified management.
• Seamless Roaming: Allows clients to automatically switch between access points as they move, ensuring an uninterrupted connection. (Note: Omada Mesh Seamless Roaming requires the use of Omada SDN controllers).
• Band Steering: Automatically pushes dual-band clients to the faster 5 GHz band to optimize network performance.
• Load Balancing: Distributes client connections across multiple access points to prevent overload and ensure optimal performance.
• Airtime Fairness: Ensures that slower clients do not monopolize airtime, improving overall network efficiency.
• Beamforming: Focuses Wi-Fi signals towards connected devices, improving signal strength and range.

Image Description: This image illustrates the concept of seamless roaming in a multi-story building or large area. It shows three EAP670 access points strategically placed to provide overlapping Wi-Fi coverage. As a user moves through different areas, their device automatically switches to the access point with the strongest signal, ensuring a continuous and stable connection without manual intervention. Icons for Smart Roaming, Unified Network, Easy Pairing, and Remote Management are also displayed.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your EAP670 V2 Access Point.

No Power Indicator Light:

• Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the device and a working power outlet.
• If using PoE+, verify that the Ethernet cable is properly connected and the PoE+ source (switch or injector) is functioning correctly.
• Try a different power outlet or PoE+ port.

No Internet Access:

• Check the Ethernet cable connection between the EAP670 and your router/switch.
• Verify that your router or gateway has an active internet connection.
• Ensure the EAP670 is properly configured within the Omada SDN controller or in standalone mode.
• Restart the EAP670 and your main network devices (router, modem).

Poor Wi-Fi Signal or Slow Speeds:

• Ensure the EAP670 is mounted in a central location, away from obstructions like thick walls, metal objects, or large appliances.
• Check for sources of interference, such as microwaves, cordless phones, or neighboring Wi-Fi networks.
• Verify that your client devices support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) to take full advantage of the EAP670's capabilities.
• If using multiple EAPs, ensure Omada Mesh and Seamless Roaming are properly configured.

Resetting the Device:

If you encounter persistent issues, you may need to reset the EAP670 to its factory default settings. Locate the reset button (usually a small pinhole) on the device. With the device powered on, use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the LED indicators change, then release.
