TP-Link · Omada · Outdoor Wi-Fi 6

High-density Wi-Fi 6 outdoors.
4x4, IP68, 10G fibre uplink.

The EAP668-Outdoor HD is an Omada access point for busy outdoor areas: AX3600 Wi-Fi 6 with 4x4 MU-MIMO, 1,000+ clients, a 2.5G PoE-in port, a Gigabit PoE-out port and a 10G SFP+ slot in an IP68 housing.

In one sentence: the TP-Link Omada EAP668-Outdoor HD is an IP68 indoor/outdoor AX3600 Wi-Fi 6 access point with 4x4 MU-MIMO, four external omni antennas, 1,000+ clients, 802.3at/bt PoE input, a 10G SFP+ slot and a PoE-out port.

Access point only. It needs PoE+ (802.3at) or PoE++ (802.3bt).

This listing is one EAP668-Outdoor HD. It runs from an 802.3at or 802.3bt PoE source into the 2.5G port. The PoE-out port only works when it is fed with 802.3bt.

You also need

An 802.3at PoE+ or 802.3bt PoE++ source (802.3bt for PoE out)
Outdoor-rated Cat5e or Cat6 cable, or an SFP+ module and fibre
An Omada controller or the Omada app to manage it

Built for crowds and weather.

Four streams on each band, OFDMA and 1024-QAM let it serve 1,000+ clients, so it suits stadiums, school grounds and event spaces. The IP68 enclosure with an aluminium base runs from −40 °C to 70 °C and has 6 kV lightning protection.

TP-Link EAP668-Outdoor HD side view and finned aluminium back

Side and back

Wall or pole, ±45° to aim it.

The finned aluminium back carries the included wall and pole kit, which turns ±45° horizontally. The body is 312 × 240 × 80 mm without antennas and weighs 2.7 kg.

How it goes in

From pole to Wi-Fi.

Plan the spot

Pick a wall or pole with a clear view of the crowd area, and plan the PoE source: 802.3at, or 802.3bt if you will use PoE out.

Run the cable

Run outdoor-rated Cat5e or Cat6 to the 2.5G PoE-in port, and fibre to the SFP+ slot if the uplink is long.

Mount and seal

Fix the wall or pole kit, fit the four antennas, connect the cables and fit the waterproof kit.

Adopt it in Omada

Adopt it in an Omada controller or the Omada app, then create your SSIDs and guest portal.

Pair it with

What this access point does not include

Power

An 802.3at or 802.3bt PoE source

The TP-Link TL-POE260S 2.5G PoE+ injector powers it at full 2.5G speed. Use an 802.3bt source if you want the PoE-out port to power another device.

Fibre

An SFP+ module

Optional, for the 10G SFP+ slot when the switch is too far for copper. Ask us which module suits your switch.

Cabling

Outdoor-rated cable

UV-stable Cat5e or Cat6 for the run to the pole or wall, within the usual 100 m Ethernet limit.

Management

An Omada controller

Run it with indoor Omada access points as one network. Mesh, seamless roaming and captive portal need an Omada controller.

Where it is used

Where a high-density outdoor AP fits.

Stadiums and sports grounds

Spectator areas where hundreds of phones connect at once.

School and uni campuses

Quads, courtyards and walkways between buildings.

Events and festivals

Ticketing, payment terminals and guest Wi-Fi in open areas.

Shopping precincts

Outdoor malls, food courts and car parks.

Common questions

Can the EAP668-Outdoor HD go outside?

Yes. It has an IP68 enclosure, 6 kV lightning protection and runs from −40 °C to 70 °C. It can also be used indoors.

How fast is it?

Up to 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz and 1148 Mbps on 2.4 GHz (AX3600). Real throughput is lower and depends on the site and the devices.

How many devices can connect?

TP-Link lists 1,000+ concurrent clients across up to 16 SSIDs. Real capacity depends on the traffic.

Is a power supply included?

No. It needs 802.3at PoE+ or 802.3bt PoE++ into the 2.5G port. It draws up to 25.4 W, not counting PoE out.

When does the PoE-out port work?

Only with 802.3bt input: 802.3bt type 3 gives 802.3af out, type 4 gives 802.3at out. On 802.3at input, PoE out is off.

What is the SFP+ slot for?

A 10G fibre uplink with an SFP+ module, for long runs or a fast backhaul to the switch.

Can it mount on a pole?

Yes. The wall and pole kit is included and turns ±45° horizontally. TP-Link's APM-110 and APM-100 brackets add tilt and are sold separately.

Are the antennas included?

Yes. Four external dual-band omni antennas, 6 dBi on each band, come in the box.

Does it have Bluetooth?

Yes. TP-Link lists Bluetooth as supported on this model.

Do I need an Omada controller?

It can be managed with the Omada app or web interface. Mesh, seamless roaming, cloud access and captive portal need an Omada controller.

Does it support WPA3?

Yes. WPA3-Personal and WPA3-Enterprise are listed, along with WPA and WPA2.

Who can install the cable?

Outdoor and concealed data cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and needs an ACMA-registered cabler.

Supported by InFront Technologies.

Help planning outdoor coverage, PoE++ power or a fibre uplink: call 1300 736 970 or email [email protected]. The TP-Link datasheet is on the Attachments tab. 3-year TP-Link Australia warranty: contact us first and we will look after the claim.

Installation and safety

Low-voltage device. Powered by 802.3at or 802.3bt PoE over the data cable, up to 25.4 W plus any PoE out. There is no mains connection on the access point.

Cabling. Outdoor and concealed data cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and needs an ACMA-registered cabler. Fit the waterproof kit on every used port.

Lightning and earthing. Lightning protection depends on a proper install with earthing and shielded cabling. Ask us about exposed masts.

Working at height. Pole and high-wall mounting needs safe access equipment. The unit weighs 2.7 kg before antennas and bracket.

What it does not do. No DC power input, no 802.3af-only operation, no 160 MHz channels and no 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E) radio.
