TP-Link EAP110

4.0/10verdict: skip

The TP-Link EAP110 is for small sites that want Omada-managed Wi-Fi with VLAN-tagged SSIDs and have modest wireless needs. It suits light jobs such as a guest or IoT network, where 2.4 GHz at up to 300 Mbps is enough. It does not suit anyone who needs 5 GHz, WPA3 or a faster wired link.

TP-Link EAP610

6.4/10verdict: good, not the best

The TP-Link EAP610 is a ceiling or wall-mounted Wi-Fi 6 access point for homelabbers and small offices that want VLAN support and controller management. It suits people already running, or planning to run, an Omada controller. It makes less sense for anyone who wants 6 GHz or a multi-gig uplink.
