Great. Thank you. 

@Ek9max 

Why no mac software? thats terrible, so cos im a mac user i cant use the software? i know i can use my phone but id rather use my pc to configure my network, glad i found this out before i bought these for my hotel as id need quite a few. ill use Draytek i think

@scirvine001 

If you are going to configure quite a few of these you would be better considering the OC200 hardware controller to maximize uptime.     Running the controller on a desktop can cause issues if the station is rebooted and the devices lose access to the controller.

Its fine for testing or 1 or 2 APs, however in a hotel you really should have a dedicated controller.   More so the OC200 is very reasonably priced.

@R1D2  - Nope, the only work around is to spend $100 buying an AC200 because TP Link is unable to provide free software to Mac users the way they do for Windows and Linux.  The worst, is that their product descriptions make no mention of this.  They breathlessly go on about how the hardware can be easily controlled and configured by their "cloud controller".  What exactly is "cloud" about a $100 metal box with a PoE adapter and encoded software in it?  Come TP-Link be upfront, make it CLEAR that Mac users will need to buy additional hardware to use your EAP's.   BTW....there are an estimated 100 MILLION Mac users in the world....market too small for you?

@Philbert "The OC 200 is reasonably priced"?  By what measure?  I need to spend $100 for an OC 200 to control a $40 EAP?   One EAP?  Oh....right, I could just go out and buy a Windows computer for this single purpose.....or spend $189 plus tax for Windows 10 and create a bootcamp partition on my Mac for this one purpose.  I'd have no problem with this if TP Link were up front about the hardware requirement for Mac users when purchasing the Omada EAP....or when installing the otherwise utterly useless iOS app.  But no, this information is buried until you go and actually look for the Cloud Controller software.

While I appreciate your passive-aggressive rant to my last reply concerning what you feel is an acceptable price, I must clarify that I don't work for TPLink, in fact, I have no affiliation with the company at all, but IMHO their prices are very reasonable.

The OC200 here in Ireland is priced at €60 which is around $85 US, the EAP225 is slightly more at €80 / $100 US.  Prices are obviously different for your location but if you find those prices expensive, then clearly business-grade hardware, in this case, the Omada range isn't for you and I recommend you look at the home grade solutions which would be slightly cheaper. 

In relation to being upfront with the controller.   Firstly it isn't a requirement to have a controller, the EAP can be run standalone, secondary your failure to do the appropriate research before purchasing isn't any fault of TPLink.   Did you not think to check before purchasing?

@Botanique  If you are running one EAP, not a full software defined network, why not run it in standalone mode? Pretty much all the features can be directly configured via the browser without a controller
