AC1200 PoE access point for commercial Wi-Fi

The TEW-821DAP is a dual-band wireless access point that delivers concurrent 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. It supports access point, client, WDS and repeater modes for flexible network design. The integrated PoE Gigabit LAN port simplifies deployment by carrying data and power over a single cable. A Windows-based software controller manages multiple units from one interface.

Check PoE infrastructure and mounting surface

Verify that your network switch or injector supplies IEEE 802.3af power over Ethernet to the single Gigabit port. Confirm the mounting location offers a flat wall or ceiling area for the included bracket and cable guard. Ensure the ambient temperature stays between 0°C and 40°C with non-condensing humidity below 95 percent. The unit requires a 12 V DC, 1 A supply if PoE is unavailable.

Low-profile housing with integrated mounting bracket

The compact enclosure measures 1.80 inches high by 7.30 inches wide and deep, weighing 1.01 lbs, so it blends into most ceilings and walls. Four fixed 4 dBi antennas (two per band) provide omnidirectional coverage without external adjustment. The captive mounting plate includes a cable guard that protects the Ethernet connection from strain. A 1.5 metre network cable and power adapter are supplied for non-PoE installations.

Questions about this item

Does the TEW-821DAP ship with a network cable and a power adapter, or must they be purchased separately?

The box contains a 1.5 m network cable and a 12 V, 1 A power adapter, along with the access point, a mounting bracket, a CD-ROM and a quick installation guide.

Which band should I prioritise for high-throughput clients, the 867 Mbps AC band or the 300 Mbps N band?

Connect modern devices to the 5 GHz band for up to 867 Mbps WiFi AC performance; legacy 2.4 GHz clients operate at up to 300 Mbps WiFi N.

What does the AC1200 label mean for real-world throughput on the Gigabit PoE LAN port?

AC1200 indicates concurrent 867 Mbps on 5 GHz plus 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz; the Gigabit PoE port can carry the combined wireless traffic to the wired network.
