AI-generated summary
If you just need cheap, reliable Wi‑Fi coverage for a small office/warehouse room, the TP-Link EAP115 is hard to beat for the money. It’s the sort of “get it working properly” access point: straightforward setup, decent coverage for its class, and the PoE is genuinely useful in day‑to‑day installs because it removes the hassle of power sockets and messy cabling. At ~£38 ex‑VAT, it’s the kind of item you can justify for cost-sensitive projects—extra device per zone, basic guest/tenant Wi‑Fi, meeting rooms, storage areas—without overthinking it.
That said, it’s not for anyone expecting modern performance and management features at scale. Don’t buy it as your main Wi‑Fi for a multi-room business with lots of clients or heavy use; it won’t give you the “smart” roaming/central control you’d want as the environment grows. If you need robust performance under lots of simultaneous users, or you’re building a proper managed Wi‑Fi footprint, you’ll outgrow this quickly and end up replacing it. Bottom line: great budget PoE AP for small, simple deployments—poor choice if you’re planning a serious rollout.
