Its AX5400 dual-band radios connect to a 2.5GbE wired uplink, helping a well-planned network serve capable wireless clients without immediately falling back to a Gigabit backhaul. A slim ceiling-mounted enclosure, PoE+ power and optional Omada management keep the installation discreet and the network manageable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWireless capacity with a faster uplink\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi 6 with up to 4804Mbps on 5GHz and 574Mbps on 2.4GHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 2.5GbE Ethernet port and support for 160MHz channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA discreet installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-profile ceiling or wall mounting with mounting hardware supplied.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIEEE 802.3at PoE+ or 12V DC power; power adapter not included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA network you can manage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandalone operation or compatible Omada controller management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuest access, VLAN mapping and supported controller-assisted roaming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMake the wired connection part of the plan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fast radio needs an appropriate connection back to the network. The 2.5GbE port gives the EAP673 more uplink headroom than a Gigabit-only access point when paired with a compatible switch and suitable cabling. It also negotiates with supported slower Ethernet links, so a site can upgrade its switching in stages. The broadband service, gateway and other traffic still determine the speed available to users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse Wi-Fi 6 where it makes a difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOFDMA and MU-MIMO help supported devices share airtime more effectively. The 5GHz radio supports four spatial streams, while 2.4GHz provides two. A capable client can use the available channel width and modulation, but adding the two advertised band rates does not describe one device’s throughput. Choose channels after checking nearby networks, client support and local radio regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKeep the room focused on the work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 32.5mm-deep design sits close to a ceiling or wall. Power over Ethernet carries data and power on one cable, which helps keep adapters away from the occupied space. Use an IEEE 802.3at PoE+ source with enough budget for the installation, or the specified 12V\/2A DC supply. A power adapter is not included with this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBring several access points under one view\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a compatible Omada hardware, software or cloud-based controller when the site needs central configuration and monitoring. Supported roaming, mesh and guest-portal functions depend on the controller, firmware and clients. Standalone management remains available for a simpler deployment. This is an access point for an existing network, rather than a replacement for the internet gateway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGive visitors an appropriate level of access\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMultiple SSIDs, SSID-to-VLAN mapping, client isolation and supported WPA security modes help organise wireless access. Match these settings to the switching and gateway configuration so guest devices have the intended route and permissions. WPA3 and enterprise authentication are useful options when the connected devices and wider network support them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize the installation for real activity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer’s 250+ client reference describes association capacity under stated conditions, rather than a promise that every connected device can run a demanding application simultaneously. Consider concurrent calls, uploads and working distances. A coverage survey and a test with the actual client mix give a more useful result than choosing access-point quantity from a headline area figure alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSummary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the EAP673 for an indoor business network that can benefit from Wi-Fi 6 capacity and a 2.5GbE uplink in a restrained ceiling design. Pair the radio, switching and power source deliberately, then use Omada management when the site needs coordinated control across several devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"ace-article-faq\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"ace-form-disclosure\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"ace-form-title\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-title-text\"\u003eIs EAP673 the same as EAP673-Extender?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-toggle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-expand\"\u003eExpand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-collapse\"\u003eCollapse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-chevron\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ace-form-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. EAP673 is a ceiling or wall-mounted access point with a 2.5GbE uplink.
