IMPORTANT: To prevent upgrade failures, please read the following before proceeding with the upgrade process
mtk_soc_eth 1e100000.ethernet: connected mac 1 to PHY at fixed-0:01 [uid=00000000, driver=Generic PHY] All the Ethernet ports are Gigabit, the rear-placed one being the PoE In port which powers up the TP-Link EAP615-Wall. At the bottom, there are two Ethernet ports (ETH1 and ETH2) for any cabled device, while the third is PoE Out, so it can be used for powering up another PoE device. The Ethernet ports.
Effortless Deployment with PoE Powered
The TP-Link EAP615-Wall uses pretty much the same features to enhance the WiFi performance as the other two AX1800 WiFi 6 access points that I tested ( the EAP610 and the EAP610-Outdoor). This means that there is support for OFDMA on both radio bands – it’s not enabled by default, so you will need to enter the Settings and turn this feature on manually. OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) is quite the big deal because the way it works is by dividing the channel frequency in sub-carriers which then take the data and pushes it towards multiple client devices at the same time without unnecessarily having to wait their turn.
TP-Link has made the teardown process of the EAP615-Wall very simple since all I had to do is remove the two screws from the bottom and then carefully detach the top cover using a prying tool. It’s a win for the right to repair movement but be aware that you need to know what you’re doing otherwise you can still lose the warranty. That being said, the first thing that you’re going to see is the bottom side of the PCB and not much is going on here. TP-Link EAP615-Wall Teardown.

Quick, Simplified Installation
To test the TP-Link EAP615-Wall, I decided to connect the access point to a PoE switch and, since I am lazy and had the unmanaged switch TRENDnet TPE-LG80 on the desk after I finished writing the analysis on how many Watts does a PoE switch use, I used this switch for following tests.

TP-Link mentions BSS Coloring, but I did not see any option that can be enabled or disabled in the features, so I am a bit skeptical whether it actually supports it or not, especially considering the price tag. But, to use these features, it’s absolutely necessary to have compatible client devices because going a WiFi standard below (WiFi 5 or lower), the support will be gone. Preparing for the WiFi test.
Use of WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and features including OFDMA and MU-MIMO requires client devices to support the corresponding features.
