AC1200 dual-band Gigabit wireless in-ceiling AP

TL-AP1206GC-PoE/DC is a compact and lightweight AC1200 indoor ceiling-mounted AP launched by TP-LINK, which provides Gigabit Ethernet port for data transmission, DC and standard PoE power supply modes, and flexible networking. It can be widely used in indoor scenarios such as restaurants, hotel lobbies, warehouses, and small businesses, providing high-quality wireless coverage.


1. Adopt 11AC wireless technology

dual-band concurrency, 1167Mbps wireless rate

It supports 2.4G/5G dual-band concurrency, with a wireless transmission rate of 300Mbps in the 2.4GHz band and 867Mbps in the 5GHz band, and a built-in omnidirectional high-gain dual-polarization antenna.


2. Professional hardware and software design

Support wireless MESH networking, blind spot signal coverage expansion is more convenient

Through TP-LINK MESH technology, the network can be wirelessly expanded by pressing a button, and some areas can be wired without wiring to achieve wireless signal expansion, which is suitable for small and medium-sized environments with low traffic density, easy to use and unified configuration.


Automatic RF Tuning Optimizes Overall Performance

Automatic RF calibration automatically calculates the neighbor relationship between APs in the network, and automatically adjusts the wireless transmit power and channel based on the real-time interference and load conditions of nearby devices. Ensure that the overall wireless network is always in a high-speed, high-performance operation state.


Intelligently Kick Weak Signal Devices to Improve Wireless Quality

You can set a weak signal strength threshold to intelligently identify, prohibit, and kick devices whose signal strength is lower than the threshold. Prevent weak signal devices from slowing down network efficiency and improve the roaming quality of the entire wireless network.


Intelligent roaming technology to enhance the wireless experience

of every user The intelligent roaming technology based on the 802.11kvr protocol helps terminal devices such as mobile phones, pads, and computers automatically connect to the AP with the best signal quality in high-density environments such as conference rooms, office areas, bars, and KTVs, so as to achieve fast roaming, effectively improving the user experience of each user and the overall performance of the wireless network.


3. High-performance interface

Gigabit network port, higher speed

Internet access The 1000Mbps network port is used to greatly increase the speed compared with the 100 Gigabit network port, making the wired interface no longer a bottleneck for wireless transmission and meeting the high-speed Internet access requirements in multi-user and high-bandwidth scenarios.


4.the construction is convenient, the management is simple, the maintenance is worry-free, a variety of power supply methods

a, standard PoE power supply, More convenient

construction Standard PoE power supply is adopted, no external power supply is required, and each AP only needs one network cable, which is convenient for construction.

Note: It needs to be used with PoE power supply equipment such as PoE switches and standard PoE power injectors.


b. Support 12V DC power supply, no need to purchase PoE switches, and reduce networking costs.

Note: If you need to use DC power supply, please purchase a 12V/1A DC power adapter.


A variety of installation methods

support ceiling and wall mounting at the same time, which is simple to install and adapts to more scenarios.


Unified management of TP-LINK commercial cloud platform Remotely and centrally manage multiple projects, which is efficient and convenient

Real-time monitoring of equipment status, timely and accurate alarms Graphical data analysis, clear at a glance Support mobile APP, management anytime, anywhere


Independent Hardware Protection Circuit, Automatic Recovery of AP

Abnormal Work Built-in independent hardware protection circuit, when the AP works abnormally, it can be automatically restored without manual intervention, ensuring stable Wi-Fi signal coverage and more worry-free maintenance in the later stage.

• 11AC dual-band concurrency, the maximum wireless rate can reach 1167Mbps
• The wireless transmit power is linearly adjustable, and the signal coverage is adjusted according to the demand
• Professional dual-band antenna to improve the signal quality of the coverage area
• Spectrum navigation guides dual-band clients to connect to the 5 GHz band preferentially, so that the load of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands is more balanced and network performance is ensured
• Simple ceiling installation, supporting 802.3af/at standard PoE and 12VDC power supply modes
• Fat and thin are integrated, and different working modes are selected in different environments
• Independent hardware protection circuit, which can automatically restore abnormal APs
