The Ubiquity U6 LR access point looks a lot like the EAP660HD. It offers similar performance in terms of bandwidth and has a 4x4 radio system. But like the WAX214, the Ethernet uplink port is limited to only 1Gbps while the single-core CPU is not in the same class as the EAP660HD quad-core. You will get more for your money with a EAP660HD. Final verdict One of the few manufacturers that was able to design a truly compact higher-end WiFi 6 access point is EnGenius (with its ECW230 and the ECW220), while Zyxel and it seems that TP-Link as well, have relies on far larger cases for their devices. They’re still covered by a white matte finish, so they’ll do well on the ceiling and the circular body of the TP-Link EAP660HD is actually less industrial looking than other wireless access points. The performance of the EAP660HD is evaluated with the help of an iperf2 server and client. The first test is done through the Uplink port at 2.5Gbps to get an upper limit of the bandwidth. Next, the wireless bandwidth is determined at various distances over a Wi-Fi 6 connection. The test is done in a multi level house with drywalls. Fixed the bug that when a port conflict is detected, the prompt message is not centered and the display is incomplete. Omada CBC v5 must use this version of Omada Discovery Utility due to the change of the inform url format.
Some official firmware of TP-Link products can be replaced by the third party firmware such as DD-WRT. TP-Link is not obligated to provide any maintenance or support for it, and does not guarantee the performance and stability of third party firmware. Damage to the product as a result of using third party firmware will void the product's warranty.

Please go to Omada MeshProduct List to find all the models supported by Omada mesh technology, and refer to the User Guides of Omada SDN controllers for configuration methods.
A firmware update can resolve issues that the previous firmware version may have and improve its current performance.

You may use the respective software condition to following the GPL licence terms. The tear-down process for the TP-Link EAP660 HD is fairly simple, but you do need to be aware that opening up the case will most likely void the warranty. If that’s fine with you, then you need to remove the four screws from the bottom side and it seems that TP-Link also decided to include one more screw underneath the label that’s very difficult to remove without leaving severe marks. I guess it’s their own way of adding a warranty seal, like Asus does. In any case, after removing the five screws, you need a prying tool and carefully detach the top cover. This way, you’ll be able to see the PCB with a large metallic heatsink and a curious antenna design at the top.Furthermore, if you do decide to use a PoE switch, then the TP-Link EAP660HD doesn’t require that much power (only up to 21.5 W), so you don’t need anything that fancy, but a multi-Gigabit Ethernet switch is still a preferred option. And that’s because of the 2.5GbE port (it’s a shame not to try and take advantage of it, but we’ll see if the WiFi will actually allow us to go above 1Gbps). Internal Hardware Please verify the hardware version of your device for the firmware version. Wrong firmware upgrade may damage your device and void the warranty. ( Normally Vx.0=Vx.6/Vx.8 (eg:V1.0=V1.6/V1.8); Vx.x0=Vx.x6/Vx.x8 (eg:V1.20=V1.26/V1.28)
Using the Omada SDN Controller to Manage Omada Devices Across Multiple Locations Via a VPN Connection (Controller 5.0 and Above) 05-05-2023 17169 And then, there’s the BeamForming which focuses the signal towards the compatible client devices, reducing the impact of interference and improving the available bandwidth. But, since most users will want multiple of these devices to work together and form a single network, there is the expected support for the mesh technology. Configuration Guide on EAP-TLS authentication for WPA-Enterprise (with FreeRADIUS) 09-27-2022 56017Note: The TP-Link EAP660 HD is an AX3600-class wireless access point, which means that the theoretical maximum data transfer rate on the 2.4GHz band is 1,148Mbps, while on the 5GHz, it’s 2,402Mbps – don’t get your hopes up, because you’re not going to see this performance outside lab conditions. Features and Wireless Test
Seamless Roaming requires that clients need to support 802.11k/v and may require additional set up. Performance may vary depending on the client device. Since the TP-Link EAP660 HD is a part of the WiFi 6 access points, it does support the OFDMA technology (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) which means that the AP is allocating multiple sub-carriers (RUs) of the bandwidth to multiple users which should translate in a far more efficient performance on both the 5GHz and the 2.4GHz band. And yes, the TP-Link EAP660HD does support ODFMA ul and dl on both bands. Besides this now mandatory technology, there’s the expected support for MU-MIMO which has the role of serving multiple clients at the same time. It’s a nice feature to have with compatible clients, although it’s not going to improve the performance in a significant manner. Using the Omada SDN Controller to Manage Omada Devices Across Multiple Locations Via a Controller (5.0 and Above) 05-31-2023 20217 IMPORTANT: To prevent upgrade failures, please read the following before proceeding with the upgrade processThe case is entirely made of plastic though, so it did needs quite a few openings to let the heat flow outwards (while an alloy body will absorb it faster and perhaps better). Then again, I opened the case and I saw that there is a fair bit of room to allow a proper internal airflow. The case does get warm near the middle of the case, both upwards and downwards, but the EAP660HD did not overheat. It's recommended that users stop all Internet applications on the computer, or simply disconnect Internet line from the device before the upgrade.
Great Deal
