TP-Link EAP650 Ultra-Slim
Score: 76/100
Cudy AC1200
Score: 71/100Rankings
The TP-Link EAP650 is an ultra-slim Wi-Fi 6 access point delivering up to 3 Gbps dual-band throughput and supporting over 100 devices. Its main trade-off is the lack of explicit beamforming and a single LAN port, which may limit advanced performance tuning. Ideal for high-density indoor environments needing centralized Omada management.
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.
