TP-Link EAP115-Wall 300Mbps Wireless N In-Wall Access Point

The TP-Link EAP115-Wall is a compact 300Mbps Wireless N wall-plate access point designed for hotels, offices, apartments, campuses, hostels and other indoor environments where discreet room-by-room WiFi coverage is required. It fits into compatible wall junction boxes and replaces the appearance of a conventional wall plate, making it a neat alternative to ceiling-mounted access points in bedrooms, offices and individual rooms. 

The EAP115-Wall operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band and supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n with theoretical wireless rates of up to 300Mbps. It also provides one uplink 10/100Mbps Ethernet port and one downlink 10/100Mbps Ethernet port, allowing the unit to deliver both WiFi and a wired network connection at the room level.

For professional installations, the EAP115-Wall is powered using IEEE 802.3af PoE, eliminating the need for a separate power socket beside the access point. It also integrates with TP-Link Omada SDN for centralized management, making it suitable for multi-room deployments where several access points need to be managed together. 

TP-Link EAP115-Wall Key Features

The current TP-Link regional specification for the EAP115-Wall lists two Fast Ethernet ports, 802.3af PoE, two 1.8dBi internal antennas, up to 25m² test coverage and support for 100+ concurrent clients. 

300Mbps Wireless N Performance

The TP-Link EAP115-Wall operates exclusively on the 2.4GHz frequency band and supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n.

The 2.4GHz band provides broad compatibility with smartphones, laptops, tablets and many IoT devices. This makes the EAP115-Wall suitable for general business internet access, email, messaging, cloud applications and normal web browsing.

The advertised 300Mbps figure is a theoretical wireless link rate rather than guaranteed internet throughput. Actual speeds depend on interference, connected client capabilities, distance, Ethernet infrastructure and internet bandwidth. 

Designed for In-Wall Installation

One of the EAP115-Wall's biggest advantages is its wall-plate design.

Rather than being mounted visibly on a ceiling, the EAP115-Wall fits onto a compatible wall junction box and resembles a light switch or electrical outlet faceplate.

TP-Link describes the front casing as approximately 11mm thick, giving it a discreet appearance in hotel rooms, offices and apartments.

Benefits of the In-Wall Design

Compatible with Standard Junction Boxes

The EAP115-Wall is designed to fit commonly used wall junction boxes.

Installation typically involves removing the existing faceplate, connecting the in-wall Ethernet cable to the EAP115-Wall's uplink PoE port, securing the access point to the junction box and reinstalling its faceplate. 

IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet

The TP-Link EAP115-Wall uses IEEE 802.3af PoE for power.

This allows both network data and electrical power to reach the access point through its Ethernet connection, helping reduce separate electrical wiring requirements.

Importantly, the downlink Ethernet port does not provide PoE passthrough. A PoE IP phone, camera or other powered device cannot therefore receive PoE directly from the EAP115-Wall's downlink port.

Two Fast Ethernet Ports

Unlike a basic wireless-only access point, the EAP115-Wall includes both an uplink and downlink Ethernet connection.

The downlink port can be useful in hotel rooms and offices where a desktop computer, smart TV, printer or other Ethernet device requires a wired network connection.

This combination of WiFi plus wired Ethernet makes the EAP115-Wall particularly practical for hospitality and room-level network deployments. 

Internal Omnidirectional Antennas

The EAP115-Wall uses two internal 1.8dBi omnidirectional antennas.

The internal antenna design helps maintain the access point's clean wall-plate appearance while providing localized room coverage. 

TP-Link EAP115-Wall Coverage

TP-Link lists coverage of approximately 25m² / 300ft² under its specified testing conditions.

The EAP115-Wall is therefore primarily designed for localized room-level coverage, rather than providing WiFi across a very large floor from one device.

Real-world coverage depends on wall materials, furniture, interference, AP positioning and connected client devices.

Ideal for Hotels

The EAP115-Wall is particularly suitable for hotel WiFi installations.

Hotel rooms frequently need both wireless connectivity and wired Ethernet. Installing a wall-plate AP in each room or selected groups of rooms allows wireless coverage to be brought closer to guests while maintaining a clean interior appearance.

TP-Link EAP115-Wall for Offices

The EAP115-Wall can also be installed in offices where localized wireless coverage is preferred.

It works well in individual offices, meeting rooms, reception rooms and other enclosed areas.

The downlink Ethernet port can provide wired connectivity for a desktop computer, printer, IP device or other network equipment while the same wall unit delivers WiFi to mobile devices.

TP-Link EAP115-Wall for Apartments and Hostels

Apartment buildings, student residences and hostels can benefit from wall-plate access points because each room can have a nearby WiFi source rather than relying entirely on access points positioned in corridors.

This can help reduce signal loss caused by reinforced concrete walls and closed doors.

Multiple SSIDs

The EAP115-Wall supports up to eight SSIDs, allowing administrators to create multiple wireless networks.

TP-Link also lists access control, wireless MAC filtering, client isolation, SSID-to-VLAN mapping and 802.1X support among the EAP115-Wall's business networking capabilities. 

Guest WiFi and Captive Portal

The EAP115-Wall supports captive portal authentication, making it particularly useful for guest-network environments.

TP-Link also lists multiple authentication methods within compatible Omada deployments.

Omada SDN Centralized Management

The EAP115-Wall integrates with TP-Link Omada SDN, allowing compatible network equipment to be centrally managed.

This is particularly important in hotels and multi-room properties where dozens of access points may be installed.

TP-Link lists Omada Controller Software, Omada hardware controller compatibility and Omada App support for the wall-plate series.

TP-Link EAP115-Wall Wireless Features

TP-Link EAP115-Wall vs Standard EAP115

The standard TP-Link EAP115 and the EAP115-Wall both provide 300Mbps Wireless N connectivity, but they are designed for different types of installation.

The EAP115-Wall is the better fit for individual hotel rooms, offices and apartments, while the standard ceiling-mounted EAP115 is intended to distribute WiFi over a broader open area.

Advantages of TP-Link EAP115-Wall

Important Limitations to Consider

The TP-Link EAP115-Wall is an entry-level wall-plate access point, so customers should understand its limitations before buying.

For basic hotel rooms, offices and apartments, these limitations may be acceptable. For high-speed modern networks, a newer dual-band or WiFi 6 wall-plate model may be a better investment.

Who Should Buy TP-Link EAP115-Wall?

The TP-Link EAP115-Wall is a strong option for customers who need affordable room-level WiFi with discreet wall installation.

Why Buy TP-Link EAP115-Wall from Orbitlink Solutions?

Choosing a wall-plate access point requires more than checking the advertised WiFi speed. The network should also have compatible PoE infrastructure, structured Ethernet cabling, routers, switches and centralized management equipment where required.

Orbitlink Solutions can supply the TP-Link EAP115-Wall together with the supporting networking equipment required for a professional installation. This is particularly useful for hotels, apartments, hostels and offices where several wall access points may need to be deployed together.

Watch: TP-Link EAP115-Wall In-Wall Access Point

The TP-Link EAP115-Wall is particularly useful where the appearance and location of wireless equipment matter as much as basic connectivity. Instead of mounting an access point on a ceiling or placing a router on furniture, this model installs directly into a compatible wall junction box and resembles a conventional faceplate. That makes it especially attractive for hotels, serviced apartments, hostels and individual offices where every room needs nearby WiFi without introducing bulky networking equipment into the interior.

Its 300Mbps 2.4GHz Wireless N connection, 802.3af PoE powering and separate downlink Ethernet port create a practical room-level networking solution. A single Ethernet cable from a compatible PoE switch can provide both power and network connectivity to the AP, while the front Ethernet port can connect a wired client such as a desktop computer or smart TV. The EAP115-Wall additionally supports multiple SSIDs, captive portal authentication and Omada centralized management, making it considerably more suitable for managed commercial networks than a simple household WiFi extender. 

Buying the TP-Link EAP115-Wall from Orbitlink Solutions allows customers to source not only the access point but also the PoE switches, routers, Ethernet cabling and Omada networking equipment needed for a complete deployment. For a hotel or serviced apartment project, Orbitlink Solutions can help customers select a combination of wall-plate APs for individual rooms and other TP-Link access points for corridors, reception areas and shared spaces. This approach makes it easier to build a scalable wireless network rather than relying on one router or access point to serve an entire property.
