Direct answer: is the TP-Link Omada EAP670 AX5400 Ceiling Access Point right for you?
A 2.5 GbE uplink is what separates this from the gigabit access points around it -- the radios can genuinely exceed 1 Gbps, and on a gigabit port that headroom is thrown away.

Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: A 2.5 GbE uplink is what separates this from the gigabit access points around it -- the radios can genuinely exceed 1 Gbps, and on a gigabit port that headroom is thrown away. The Omada controller can be run free in the cloud rather than self-hosted, which is unusual and is the main reason to pick Omada over UniFi at this price. It needs 802.3at rather than 802.3af, so an older PoE switch with an af-only budget will not power it.
Who should buy this
Sites that already have 2.5 GbE switching and want the radios to use it.
Who should avoid this
Anyone on an 802.3af-only switch, which cannot supply enough power.
Key strengths
- 2.5 GbE uplink, so the radios are not capped at a gigabit
- Free cloud controller with no license or subscription

Limitations
- Requires 802.3at, not 802.3af
- Controller software is less mature than the UniFi equivalent

Good, with one thing to plan for
2.5 GbE uplink, so the radios are not capped at a gigabit. The one thing to know before ordering: Requires 802.3at, not 802.3af. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Matched my use exactly
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Sites that already have 2.5 GbE switching and want the radios to use it. On that basis it has been the right call. 2.5 GbE uplink, so the radios are not capped at a gigabit.

Posting after real use, not unboxing
Had this about a month now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Free cloud controller with no license or subscription. Still mildly irritated by one thing: Requires 802.3at, not 802.3af. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Wrong product for my situation
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone on an 802.3af-only switch, which cannot supply enough power. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Does the one thing I bought it for
2.5 GbE uplink, so the radios are not capped at a gigabit. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Free cloud controller with no license or subscription. Nothing has surprised me in two months.
