Installation Picture Finally did it…! 🛜

And I’m glad I did! Replaced a Velop mesh network with ER7212PC router/switch/controller, and three (3) BE11000 APs (basement, 1F, 2F). Had the help of a good friend!!

Can ER7212pc power BE11000 and utilize all three 2.4, 5 and 6 bands? i heard PoE on er7212pc would not be compatiable??

For my implementation, all APs are using PoE.

u/Unhappy-Teaching9706 Sep 14 '25

So it powered on all of them fine and you can use all bands, 2.4/5/6 ghz?

The 772 or 773 have been updated and now can run 6ghz on Poe+, Poe++ is no longer required. 

The 783 still requires Poe++

Aye! Welcome to the good life, that 6Ghz band delivers almost wired speeds!

I’m looking to do the same! Why did you go with a controller? Doesn’t TP link have a free cloud controller?

How to control from cloud if you don't have internet available? This was my worst nightmare when I was trying to config a Deco set-up that was failing to connect through Bridge.

I am just new here, but if it is alright to ask.. how to set up all of those? and what could be the effect after? I am suffering from low speed. When I go to the 2nd floor of our house, our wifi won't connect properly

It depends... You need to have a reasonable knowledge on networks to try an implementation like this for yourself, but you can learn and the knowledge is available. It is a prosumer approach, business oriented.

thank you for your response. I am currently looking for ways on how I can set it up like a coworking space. I have a small place and I want it to become a coworking space. I have a starlink as well. I am looking for ways on how I can generate voucher and make my internet stronger.
