EAP 772 hardware rev. differences
Purchased EAP 772 V1.6 updated to latest firmware release.
AP stays considerably warm all the time. No Wifi 7 devices connected. Only Wifi 6 & 6E devices of 20 connected.
Powered using TL-POE260S, via 2.5G switch.
All 3 bands are enabled on single SSID. 6GHZ band configured to turn off when no devices on the band for 60mins.
I have seen few post about AP getting hot, is it something resolved with latest HW revisions? TP-Link support page has 4 HW revisions.
No connection issues, nor rebooting of AP.

hi @Dinesh1191
It's normal for the device to generate some heat during operation.
Make sure that the environment where the EAP 772 is placed has good ventilation. Adequate air circulation can help dissipate the heat effectively.
What's more, use a good quality Ethernet cable to power it on.
If these conditions are met, you don't need to worry too much. The device is designed to handle normal operating temperatures within its specifications.
Different hardware versions only have slight differences in materials used. They have exactly the same functions and there is almost no difference in performance.

Hi @paulrob
Please rest assured, 53 degrees is completely normal.
Here's a detailed explanation:
* **Performance Enhancements of WiFi 7 Technology:**
Compared to previous WiFi standards, WiFi 7 offers significant improvements in transmission speed, bandwidth, and concurrent connection capacity. These enhancements mean the AP needs to process more data and perform more complex calculations, which generates more heat.
* **Characteristics of High-Frequency Operation:**
WiFi 7 utilizes higher frequency bands, such as the 6GHz band. Devices operating at higher frequencies tend to generate more heat.
* **Active Cooling Design:**
To ensure stable operation under high load, WiFi 7 APs typically employ active cooling designs such as heat sinks and ventilation holes. These designs effectively dissipate heat from inside the AP, maintaining stable device operation.
* **Normal Operating Temperature Range:**
A surface temperature of 53 degrees Celsius falls within the normal operating temperature range for WiFi 7 APs. Our products undergo rigorous temperature testing during the design and testing phases to ensure stable and reliable performance within the normal operating temperature range.
* **Safety Assurance:**
Our products comply with all relevant safety standards. Even at normal operating temperatures, they pose no threat to your health or safety.
