Hi  @CilTech 

Thanks for posting here.

TP-Link does not currently offer a high-gain, external omnidirectional antenna solution that directly matches the Ubiquiti Rocket 5AC (or similar PtMP base station) in terms of performance and flexibility. Here’s why and what alternatives you might consider:

1. No High-Powered PtMP Omni Solutions:  
   - TP-Link’s outdoor wireless offerings (e.g., Omada EAP series, CPEs) are geared toward consumer/SMB use, not high-density PtMP like Ubiquiti’s Rocket + Omni setups.
   - Their Omada EAP outdoor APs (e.g., EAP610-Outdoor) have integrated antennas and are not designed for external omnidirectional antennas.

2. Lack of Interchangeable Antennas:* 
   - Most TP-Link outdoor radios (e.g., CPE710/510) use fixed directional antennas or low-gain integrated omnidirectional antennas (e.g., 5 dBi).  
   

3. No 5AC Equivalent:  
   - The 5AC Rocket is a dedicated PtMP base station with high transmit power (25–30 dBm) and support for sector/omni antennas. TP-Link lacks a direct competitor.

Alternatives
1. TP-Link CPE710 (5 GHz, 23 dBi Directional) 
   - Could work as a directional PtMP hub, but you’d need multiple radios (one per client), which defeats the simplicity of an omni.

2. Omada EAP610-Outdoor (Integrated Omni, 5 GHz) 
   - The antenna is fixed (5 dBi omni). Coverage will be far weaker than a Rocket + high-gain omni.
