TP-Link announced that its EAP772-Outdoor Wi-Fi 7 access point is now available for sale. This heavy-duty wireless router is designed for outdoor use and has an IP68 rating. That means it’s fully protected against dust and can survive being submerged in water more than a meter deep. Although not specifically designed for underwater use (after all, Wi-Fi does not work in that environment), TP-Link built this router for easy, install-and-forget use outdoors. The IP68 rating means it can withstand heavy rain and maybe even snow, ensuring you don’t have to worry about the device getting damaged while it’s exposed to the elements.
Aside from its water-resistant capabilities, TP-Link made installation easier by incorporating Power over Ethernet. That way, you don’t need to worry about routing an extra cable just to deliver power to the unit. A mounting bracket is included in the box, which allows you to install the router on a wall or a pole, and it also includes a bracket with a spiral cover, seals, and an O-ring, ensuring that the router’s Ethernet connection isn’t compromised by inclement weather.
