In this video, I go over how to set up a TP-Link EAP for the first time. There are several options when it comes to managing these APs, and I’ll try to at least mention each one. Most configurations will revolve around the Omada controller software, but it is not a requirement.

My intention was to show all three methods of setting up this device (Standalone mode, mobile app, and Controller software). However, I ran into some issues with recording the mobile section so that will be its own video.

I also apologize if the video is a bit jarring. I recorded the “unboxing” and standalone setup roughly two months prior to the rest of the video.

As always, below are the timestamps. If you are not interested in setting up the AP in standalone mode, you can skip ahead to the actual controller installation and configuration.
