Not a huge discount but 2nd lowest prices its been since the $127.50 deal. The MSRP is $150 normally. (Some people getting 20% back on their Amazon Rewards cards at check out making this around $108 making it the lowest ever YMMV)
These AP's are great, normal older 5Ghz clients can expect around 700Mbps, AX clients can max out a 1Gbps fiber line and get as high as 1.3Gbps over wireless from what I seen on 160MHz. 2.5Gbps port so take advantage of it. Your choice how techie you want to get with the setup but its pretty close to plug and play. These outclass all the Unifi products when it comes to actual performance. They require POE+ if your using a older POE switch fyi, but they come with a power brick in the box too.
【Blazing-Fast True Wi-Fi 6 Speeds】Designed with the latest wireless Wi-Fi 6 technology featuring 1024-QAM, HE60 and Long OFDM Symbol, the EAP670 boosts dual-band Wi-Fi speeds up to 5400 Mbps..Power Consumption : 19.8 W.
【2.5GE Port with PoE+ for Easy Installation】Armed with a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, the EAP670 delivers exceptional multi-gigabit performance and boosts total internet throughput for faster, better Wi-Fi. Supports standard 802.3at PoE+ and 12V/1.5A DC power supply, can be powered by a TP-Link PoE+ switch, or the provided 12V/1.5A DC adapter, making deployment effortless and flexible.
【Integrated into Omada SDN】Omada Software Defined Networking (SDN) platform integrates network devices including access points, switches & gateways with multiple control options offered - Omada Hardware controller, Software Controller or Cloud-based controller*(Contact TP-Link for Cloud-Based Controller Details). Standalone mode also supported.
【Cloud Access & Omada Compatibility】Remote Cloud access and Omada app enables centralized cloud management of the whole network from different sites—all controlled from a single interface anywhere, anytime. For devices that are compatible with SDN firmware, please visit 'From the manufacturer – Q&A' section or TP-Link website.
【Advanced Wireless Tech】Supports Mesh WiFi, Seamless Roaming*(Omada Mesh & Seamless Roaming require the use of Omada SDN controllers), Band Steering, Load Balancing, Airtime Fairness and Beamforming technologies.

Thoughts?
The EAP610 is pretty innocuous mounted on our ceiling, but it is located in a hallway opening between a staircase and kitchen cabinets, so it is tucked out of the way a bit - you'd have to be looking for it to find it, and I doubt my family even sees it. One AP covers the whole house - I don't bother with an Omada controller and just use the built in web interface of the EAP610 - the EAP610 connects to a smart switch that sits behind a pfSense router.
If it was me, I'd start with a single AP and see how it works, rather than potentially overcomplicate/overcover things with multiple APs and an Omada controller - of course YMMV based on your square footage and building materials used in your home, etc.

For best coverage, you usually want the APs on the ceiling, in the center of the coverage area. For best looks, you probably want the APs as out of the way as possible. Balancing these two usually results in compromise somewhere.
If you're placing your APs around the edge of the house, wall mounting them halfway up the wall pointing inward is usually better than on the ceiling pointing down (EAPs have a somewhat directional pattern that is stronger towards the front), and often affords you more flexibility (ie hiding it in a plastic in-wall media enclosure covered by a canvas painting/print, etc).
Without knowing the specifics of your house, I would get a 670, experiment with placement, and backfill with additional APs if/as needed.
I had a few TP-Link EAP660 HDs, but had unreliable wireless issues. Slow speeds or connected, but not working. Cell phones dropping of wifi back to 4g/5g. Handoffs not working.
I switched to Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE and Ubiquiti Wifi 6 Pro. Cleared up wireless issues and has been rock solid.
Working on cameras next.

What are you going with for cameras? I've had some old Amcrest cameras firewalled off from the outside world with Blue Iris for a long time, but I've wondered if I should do something else/better for a while. I don't have easy Ethernet runs, which is part of why I've left well enough alone.

I have three APs scattered throughout my house, two U6-Pro's inside, and a U6-Lite in the garage.
My laptop uses an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 WiFi card, so I can handle all three of the bands this AP provides.
My APs host four SSIDs, each off a different VLAN.
Because of this, my overall speed is greatly impacted, to the point I can typically get about half of what I would expect with a single SSID on a single network.
This has been my main complaint about Unifi products: there inability to handle multiple VLANs effectively.
I was hoping the Omada AP would do better.
So here is my quick review:
- The Omada controller Linux install has hard dependencies which are older, this could indicate the maturity of the product
- It was looking for specific versions of MongoDB, with the latest being 4.0
- 4.0 was released over five years ago
- 4.4 works, but I only found that out from others online having this same issue
- NOTE: the Unifi controller is not direct either, with the most effective method being ad hoc bash scripts written by some person named Glenn
- If you are comfortable in the Unifi Controller, you will be in familiar territory in the Omada controller
- It was nice not to have to define a network per VLAN, and just assign VLANs to the WLANs
- During the install, you can opt out of sending data to TP-Link
- I haven't done any testing to see how accurate this is, though I am glad it is an option
- While it does break down information on a per radio basis for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, it doesn't show the 6Ghz radio
- NOTE: I don't have a Unifi product capable of 6Ghz, so I am unsure if this info is showing in the Unifi controller
For speed testing, I kept my laptop in the same location, placed the AP in the same location, and transferred the same file repeatedly.There is a single interior wall between the laptop and the AP.
The AP is connected via a 1Gbps PoE. I know this AP can support 2.5Gbps, but I do not have a connection available to test at this time.
The file I am transferring is an ISO, so a single large (~5GB) file.
Results:
- On the U6-Pro, I get ~30MBps (~240Mbps)
- On the TP-Link EAP670 I get ~33MBps (264Mbps)
There are a lot of things that can influence this number. Like I said, I replicated the same env my Unifi AP has, which is four SSIDs on four VLANs.- All SSIDs are getting constant traffic, but devices could trade off to other APs.
- Some devices send constant video streams, which eats up bandwidth.
- I don't know the orientation of the antennas inside either device's enclosure, so this could play an important role.
I did test the EAP670 with only one SSID and VLAN, and I got ~62MBps (496Mbps)I don't recall the exact numbers I got when I did this same test with the U6-Pro a year ago when I bought them, but it was around there as well.
Some additional anecdotal notes:
User mymonkeyescaped pointed out this does not have 6Ghz, which it does not. When configuring the networks it lists the network frequencies you want to allow, and 6Ghz is one of them. This is the source of my confusion.
Thanks for pointing that out.
