With the V4.6.9 or above version of the Omada APP, you can configure the EAP mesh network with a few simple steps in Standalone Mode.

Requirements

  • Omada App version 4.6.9 and above

Introduction

A mesh network allows all of your associated APs to broadcast the same SSID across the whole network allowing a seamless transition between APs. Besides Omada Controller, now you can configure it via your Omada App as well.

The following figure shows an example of the Omada mesh network. As with OneMesh for home networking it is suggested to have no more than 2 hops in any direction. More than two hops and network performance might be noticeably decreased.

*Note: Mesh networking may require a firmware update. Please check with TP-Link support or check the firmware release notes of your AP to confirm whether your device has compatible firmware. Download Center | TP-Link
