TP-Link EAP235-Wall White
Score: 68/100Rankings
The NETGEAR WAX610 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 access point delivering up to 1.8 Gbps with four spatial streams and PoE+ connectivity. Its single Ethernet port and 30-user concurrent limit may affect very busy venues. Suitable for indoor SMBs seeking cloud-managed Wi-Fi 6 with mesh capability.
The TP-Link EAP235-Wall is an in-wall AC1200 AP offering MU-MIMO, beamforming and four Gigabit ports with PoE pass-through for small-room deployments. Its Wi-Fi 5 performance and limited coverage make it less suitable for larger or high-density environments. Ideal for hotels, offices or dorm rooms needing per-room wired connectivity and modest wireless speeds.
