†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead, and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection, quality, and client condition.
*Certain TP-Link OLT models supporting Omada SDN are available, and Omada OLT devices are being developed.
**Omada Mesh, Seamless Roaming, Captive Portal, and Cloud Access require the use of Omada controllers.
