Best Access Points of 2025

"I was in search of new access points with centralized management and WiFi 6 or higher. After considering options like the Unifi U6 Pro, I found these for half the price and I'm thrilled with the performance. Setting up the controller in a Linux VM was straightforward, and I achieved 100% coverage in my 1,800 sqft home with just two access points!"

"As someone who works in networking, I often find that many products on Amazon don't deliver. However, this device proved to be an exception. It was easy to set up, durable, and maintained high stable speeds over long distances. I've purchased multiple units and I'm very satisfied."

"When I visited my parents, they were struggling with their Wi-Fi reach. I decided to plug in two of these access points into their wall Ethernet ports. The setup was surprisingly quick and easy, and now their phones seamlessly switch between the router and the access points as they move around the house. The signal strength is impressive!"

"I needed to enhance my wifi on the second floor and decided to try this affordable access point. One key feature was Power over Ethernet (PoE) since the installation spot lacked a power source. It exceeded my expectations, boosting my speed from 10-15 Mbps to about 300 Mbps on the 5GHz band. The highest speed I achieved was 625 Mbps. Setup was a breeze, as I didn't even need any apps or the TP-Link portal. I simply located the local IP assigned by my router and logged into the access point to finish the configuration. The only thing missing in the admin screen is the option to set a local static IP in AP mode. However, it comes with a tiny passive switch, making it easy to install, and I couldn't be happier."

"I'm utilizing this device as a true access point. There are four different modes available for this unit. In client mode, it captures signals from my wifi and allows me to connect devices via the ethernet port. I connected it to my primary router using a CAT6 cable and set up a different SSID for my small office. With a 1 GB fiber connection, the wired connection brings the full speed back to the access point, but the wifi speed only reaches about 50 Mbps up and down on Speedtest.net. Fortunately, this is sufficient for my needs like video calls and internet browsing. The installation and setup were straightforward, and the price is very attractive."

"Why did they stop calling these devices 'Bridges'? When I select 'Client Mode,' it acts as a bridge, receiving a wireless signal from my router and sending it out via a Cat6 cable. I was able to achieve over 320 Mbps from the cable when connected to the 5GHz signal from my home router. There are multiple configuration options, including rebroadcasting the main WiFi signal. I didn't have issues with longevity or support, but I had a little trouble with the POE device included in the box. Nevertheless, it’s supposed to support POE."

"I purchased one of these for the other end of my ranch-style house because my router's WiFi signal was weak that far away. Using POE, I only had to run a CAT5e cable to connect it to my POE switch, which was convenient. The initial setup through the app was straightforward, and later I used the web admin page for further adjustments. It offers a decent signal, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite reach my office, which is 50 feet away with a few walls in between. I ended up getting another unit near my office to create a triangle for better coverage. Within 20-30 feet, the signal is strong and provides full throughput when connected to a gigabit router."

"After setting up WiFi in our new home, it became clear that having the router in the basement wasn't effective due to cement walls absorbing the signal. I decided to move the WiFi access to the attic and bought two TP-Link Omada access points. Setting them up was easy, and they provide a strong signal throughout our three-level home with no more dead spots. I did have a funny mix-up with the mounting plates, but after that, everything has worked flawlessly. I highly recommend these access points."

"I had been using an old router to cover a dead zone for years. When a new phone struggled with connection speeds, I opted for this TP-Link AP as an upgrade. The improvement has been massive. All devices in the area now enjoy significantly better speeds, and the range is much larger than expected, even reaching our backyard. Setup was a breeze with the POE injector, and it has been stable ever since. In the future, I plan to upgrade our main router with TP-Link devices."

"After switching to the TP-Link EAP670, I've significantly upgraded my home network. The installation was a breeze, especially with its ceiling mount design, which keeps it discreet while providing great coverage throughout my house. The Wi-Fi 6 performance is impressive, handling multiple devices seamlessly without any drops in quality. Plus, the PoE+ feature eliminates extra cables, making everything tidy."

"I came across the EAP670 after struggling with other routers. I have around 100 Wi-Fi devices, and with the EAP670, everything connected flawlessly. The mesh and roaming features work perfectly, allowing devices to switch access points seamlessly. I was so impressed that I purchased the OC200 to manage my setup better. The quality and reliability truly shocked me after years of dealing with subpar routers."

"I got this access point mainly for streaming VR to my Oculus Quest 2, and it has performed perfectly. The coverage extends well into my yard, which is a bonus for my security cameras. Setting it up was straightforward—just plug it into my existing network. Although the app is pretty basic, it meets my needs. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and will explore more TP-Link products in the future."

"As an existing Ubiquiti customer, I needed an additional AP to enhance the signal in one part of my home. I bought the U6+ AP to replace my aging UAP-AC-Pro, and it adopted without any issues. The setup was a breeze—just connect it to a PoE-enabled switch and hit Adopt in the controller; the software handles everything. Total setup time was under 5 minutes, and the performance is outstanding. I wish it had 2.5Gb support, but the 1Gb wired speed works fine for my needs. Overall, it's a fantastic value, and I'm planning to buy more to extend my wireless coverage into my shop."

"I needed a powerful access point to expand Wi-Fi coverage in my home, and the U6+ has truly exceeded my expectations. My setup includes a UniFi Express and an 8-port UniFi switch with PoE, making integration a breeze. The setup was incredibly straightforward—essentially plug-and-play. After connecting the U6+ to my switch, it was instantly detected in the UniFi controller. A few quick configurations later, and I had strong, consistent coverage throughout my entire home. I'm thrilled with how seamlessly the U6+ integrated into my network!"

"I recently upgraded my Unifi-based home network, replacing an old Edgerouter PoE that was failing. I thought my issues stemmed from my Unifi AC Pro, but it turned out to be the inconsistent PoE power from the Edgerouter. After switching to the Unifi Dream Machine Special Edition, my network control improved significantly, and I haven't experienced any outages since. I replaced my third-party wireless router with the U6+ for better functionality, and while there was a learning curve, I now enjoy seamless coverage across multiple SSIDs. I'm not a network expert, but I'm very pleased with how everything is working!"

"After trying various mesh networks and older routers, I found this access point to be a fantastic solution for my 3,000 sq ft split-level home. It easily connects my security cameras in the garage without interruptions, even with a microwave in the way. It offers combined 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands and supports over 250 wireless devices. I set it up as an access point plugged into my WiFi 6 router, and the lag in my network has significantly decreased. I’m truly satisfied."

"Having used many routers, I can confidently say this access point has been flawless for me. The signal strength is incredible, and the Wi-Fi 6E speed is really impressive. The cloud management through Netgear's Insight is intuitive and worth the $10/year per device. I purchased two, and they work seamlessly together, eliminating any dead spots in my home. They’ve been pretty much set and forget devices, which is a relief."

"I bought this access point to eliminate the lag and stutter I experienced with my Oculus Quest 2. I initially feared I’d made a mistake with my Netgear R8000 router, but placing this AP on the far end of my house made a huge difference. I now enjoy a solid 1.2Gbps with low latency, which significantly enhances my gaming experience. Just a heads up, I had to use the old adapter from my previous router to achieve optimal performance."

"I recently bought the TP-Link TL-WA3001, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance. The range is excellent, allowing me to access the internet from every corner of my home. I tried the Ubiquiti Networks UniFi FlexHD and Zyxel True WiFi 6 AX1800, but their range was poor. The TL-WA3001 fits my needs perfectly, especially with its ability to support up to 8 SSIDs. It comes with a power supply and a POE connector, making it easy to place anywhere with existing CAT5 wiring. Despite the software being a bit clunky, I'm really pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend this router!"

"I purchased this device to extend my WiFi into the garage. I ran an ethernet cable through the basement ceiling from my router to this device, and it works super fast. I can stream football and music while I work in the garage without any issues. The setup was easy, and I got it at a great price!"

"I found this WAP to be incredibly effective in wireless client mode with my TP-Link AX5400 WiFi 6 Router. I switched to Quantum Fiber, which offers up to 900 Mbps, and the TL-WA3001 achieved 900+ Mbps download and 800+ Mbps upload. Although it was a bit pricey, it does its job well, and I’m considering buying a second one to enhance my setup even further. I’ve been using it for over ten days now with no issues, even while streaming 4K movies!"

"I bought these to replace my Zyxel AX5400 APs that were overheating. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy they were to set up using the Insight cloud. The performance is impressive, running on the 5GHz band with 160MHz channels connected to a 2.5 Gbit switch. I’m getting the full throughput of my 1 Gbps internet connection and have had no issues at all so far."

"I really enjoy this WAP. It's fast and simple to install. When I needed tech support, they were incredibly helpful in getting my system set up. I prefer this to juggling multiple routers with different names and devices constantly switching between them."

"I purchased two of these for a client’s office to replace three older access points from other brands that weren’t doing the job. The only minor issue was with the mounting bracket tabs not gripping well on the thick ceiling tracks, but I managed to bend them to fit. The client noticed a huge improvement in Wi-Fi speed and stability the very next day!"

"I've been using Ubiquiti UniFi APs for a long time, so I chose the Ubiquiti UniFi nanoHD units for my new home. They blend in better due to their smaller size compared to the UAP-AC-PROs I used before. Installation was straightforward, and the management software is far superior to anything else in this price range. With a 5400 sqft house, I have multiple units installed, and they perform exceptionally well. If you can run some Cat5e cables, you'll notice significantly better performance with these access points. Highly recommended!"

"The last time I restarted my system was after a power outage a year ago, and the only other time was for a firmware update. I installed a full Unifi WiFi system in early 2020, using three NanoHDs as access points. They've worked flawlessly since installation — rock solid. The only minor issue was with textured ceilings, which I solved by using the metal mount as a spacer. My network has been so reliable that any connectivity issues now are clearly external problems. I used to constantly troubleshoot with other brands, but now I just wait for external issues to resolve themselves. Pricey but worth it! Highly recommended."

"I purchased this access point for my younger brother, as he was struggling to connect his older devices like Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii to our home internet due to the security software on our main router. With this access point, those devices connected flawlessly! Although it’s single band (2.4GHz only), I got about 100mbps, which exceeded my expectations for such a cheap unit. Overall, I’m very pleased and I won’t have to deal with Ethernet cables running across the floor anymore!"

"Our internet provider recently updated our equipment to 5G service with an 'automatic' 2G option, which caused numerous devices in our home, like security cameras and smart thermostats, to stop functioning. After contacting various vendors for help without success, we found this access point at a reasonable price. It was relatively easy to install and now everything is working well again!"

"I bought this access point to manage my legacy IoT devices that only operate on 2.4GHz. However, I found it virtually impossible to configure for internet access on my modern Mac and iOS devices. I managed to get it to display the settings page easily, but plugging in the Ethernet cable disconnected the Wi-Fi. After hours of resetting everything and zero help from tech support, I finally got one device working but spent over six hours trying to connect my iOS devices. I’m returning it to Amazon and won’t buy another TP-Link product again."
