Looking at replacing my EAP 245's with a couple of EAP 660's. However, is there a suggested switch to use with these for PoE? I can't seem to find any in the TP-Link range that support 2.5GB & PoE+

Basically, I'd need something that can connect to my core switch via SFP+ DAC 10GB and provide at least 2x2.5GB ethernet with PoE+ for the EAP 660's

@Egis Thanks for that. Done a quick search and the price in the UK looks to be around the £300 mark. Which isn't terrible really. The real problem right now is finding stock.

I'll wait a while I think, no mad rush to go WiFi 6 just yet after all.

Hi @mg4455,

Not sure how large your deployment is, but you could potentially use the included midspan injectors, too.

Firmware on the 620/660 is still really new (and prices are high) so I'd probably just wait.

Also, assuming you're not daisy chaining AP's, a 1 Gbit/s uplink per AP is likely more than enough >95% of the time.
