Hi All,

 

I am looking for small discrete and reliable WI-FI 6 Access points.  The big ones from TP-Link would be too large and obtrusive for the space they will be put into.

 

I am looking at the EAP610 v2, EAP613, EAP653.  These 3 are 6.3" (160mm) diameter versus the 10"+ (260mm) of the EAP660, EAP690 and so on.  

 

What I cannot determine is what is the difference between the EAP 610, 613 and 653?

 

Any advice on what the core differences are between the smaller sized ceiling mounted access points?

 

Thank you in advance.

  @Xraptorx Generally the 650/653 vs 610/613 difference is that the former supports 160mhz bandwidth and for some countries additional DFS.  The XX0 vs XX3 version difference is generally the inclusion of a wall plugin power supply, the 650/610 include a wall power supply that plugs into the AP.  Last main difference is between the 650 and 653, were for some unknown reason the 653 has lower broadcast power, despite TP-Link originally advertising the 653 as the same minuses the power supply.  The 610 now has 3 versions, V1 is the old and big form factor, the V2 and V3 are the newer small form.  All three versions seem to use different chipsets, and use slightly different amounts of power, and the 613 looks to be the same as the 610 V3.
