EAP613 for a small house: AX1800, 802.3af, no DC brick in the box
Two floors, one gigabit WAN, and a cheap af injector. That is the whole product.
The current Omada floor SKU is still a 2×2 Wi-Fi 6 ceiling puck with a gigabit port and a 10.9 W PoE draw. A cheap 802.3af injector or a 4-port 64 W fanless switch can run two of them. You do not need a controller VM on day one. Omada SDN is optional.
The trap is Amazon copy that says “PoE+ powered.” V2 is 802.3af, 48 V passive, or 12 V DC. The adapter is not in the box. 48 V passive is not 24 V. A leftover airMAX injector is the wrong brick — see the 24 V trap note.
The short list
| Box | What it is | Street, 22 Aug 2026 | Buy if |
|---|---|---|---|
| TP-Link Omada EAP613 (V2) | AX1800 (1201 + 574), 2×2, 1G. 802.3af / 48 V passive / 12 V DC. Max 10.9 W PoE, 9.9 W DC. | Amazon $79.99 (B0BW52D9FZ). B&H $79.99–$84.99. Newegg $87.99. | Small house, two APs, you already own an af injector or a cheap PoE brick. |
| TP-Link Omada EAP653 | AX3000, HE160, 802.3at, 15.5 W. Same money on B&H this pass. | B&H $79.99. See EAP613 vs EAP653. | You have an at-class port and want the extra 5 GHz radio. |
Add the AP draw before you celebrate a 52 W UniFi Lite 8. Two EAP613s are ~22 W. Two EAP613s plus two cheap cameras will still surprise a thin budget. For the injector-vs-switch math, use one injector, two injectors, or a 4-port switch.
Skip
Skip the 5-pack listing (B0C29X1397) unless you actually need five. Skip EAP653 UR — listing copy mixed Wi-Fi 7 marketing onto an AX3000 SKU. Skip a $190 Wi-Fi 7 puck until the WAN is faster than the AP; that is the Wi-Fi 7 tax.
