Product Features

AC1200 dual‑band Wi‑Fi with MU‑MIMO

Delivers combined speeds of up to 1,200 Mbps (867 Mbps @ 5 GHz and 300 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz) and MU‑MIMO technology ensures efficient simultaneous data transfer to multiple devices.

Four‑antenna beamforming design

Equipped with four fixed high‑performance antennas and beamforming, the TL‑WA1201 concentrates signals toward connected devices for extended range and improved signal stability.

Multiple functional modes

Switch between access point, range extender, client, or multi‑SSID modes to fit diverse deployment needs, including guest networks and segmented VoIP or IoT zones.

Passive PoE support

Simplifies installation by allowing power and data transmission over a single Ethernet cable up to 100 meters, streamlining setup in ceiling mounts or remote locations.

Captive portal for secure access

Includes a configurable captive portal for secure guest authentication, marketing engagement, or customized access control in public or semi-public environments.

1 Gbps Ethernet uplink

Provides a gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Mbps) for fast wired backhaul or uplink connectivity, avoiding the bottlenecks of 100 Mbps ports.
