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.
