Cudy AC1200
Score: 71/100Rankings
The Cudy AC1200 AP1300 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 access point delivering up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, with MU-MIMO, beamforming and IP65 outdoor durability. Its reliance on Wi-Fi 5 and a single Ethernet port may limit performance in high-density or future-proof scenarios. Ideal for small-business or home deployments that need a rugged, budget-friendly AP 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.
