Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Access Point

The TP-Link EAP720 is a dual-band wireless access point built on the Wi-Fi 7 standard. It targets small to medium businesses needing high-density connectivity for up to 250 concurrent clients. The unit supports 16 SSIDs across both frequency bands and integrates with Omada controller platforms for centralised management.

Single 2.5G Uplink and PoE Power

A single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port provides the wired backhaul, capping total aggregate throughput at the link speed. Power is drawn from 802.3at PoE+ or the included 12 V DC adapter; PoE consumption reaches 17.83 W while DC operation uses 13.99 W. The single port prevents link aggregation or redundant uplink configurations.

BE5000 Throughput and 1500 sq ft Coverage

The radio delivers up to 5.0 Gbps combined data rate across 2.4 GHz and dual 5 GHz bands with 4.0 dBi and 5.0 dBi antennas respectively. This capacity handles dense client loads and high-bandwidth applications within roughly 1500 square feet. Environments requiring multi-gigabit backhaul beyond 2.5 Gbps or larger floor areas will need additional access points.

Questions about this item

Which mounting option suits my ceiling, wall or junction-box install?

Kits for ceiling, wall and junction-box mounting are all included, so you can choose the method that matches your site without buying extra brackets.

What does the BE5000 rating mean for actual throughput on my network?

BE5000 indicates a combined wireless ceiling of up to 5.0 Gbps across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios; real-world speed will be lower and depends on client capability, channel width and interference.

How does the single 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port limit wired backhaul?

The 2.5 Gbps LAN port caps the wired uplink at 2.5 Gbps, so aggregate wireless traffic above that rate cannot be forwarded to the wired network.
