TP-Link Festa F65 AX3000 Ceiling Mount WiFi 6 Access Point

TP-Link AX3000 Ceiling Mount WiFi 6 Access Point (Festa F65) - 3 Years Local Warranty

The Festa F65 is TP-Link's AX3000 ceiling-mount access point for small businesses that want managed Wi-Fi without a controller appliance or a licence. It pairs a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 radio set with 802.3at PoE and free Festa cloud management, so a cafe, clinic or small office can run several APs from one dashboard and add more as the site grows.

AX3000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz

The F65 is an AX3000-class access point: 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, on IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax. The 5 GHz radio carries HE160, so a Wi-Fi 6 client that supports 160 MHz channels gets double the channel width of a standard 80 MHz access point. TP-Link notes that 160 MHz operation is available on 5 GHz only and may be restricted in some markets, and that OFDMA, HE160 and 1024-QAM all require the client to support the matching feature.

Rated for 250+ Concurrent Clients Over 140 m2

TP-Link rates the F65 at 250+ concurrent clients and publishes a coverage figure of 140 m2 (1500 ft2). Both figures carry published caveats worth reading before you plan a site: actual capacity depends on the wireless environment and client traffic and is generally lower than the maximum association count, and the coverage value is calculated from laboratory testing rather than a field survey. Treat them as a planning starting point and let us help you size the AP count against your floor plan.

One Cable for Data and Power, or a DC Adapter If You Prefer

Power comes from 802.3at PoE, 48 V passive PoE, or a 12 V/1.2 A DC supply, and TP-Link includes a power adapter in the box. Maximum draw is 13.3 W over PoE and 11.8 W on DC for the EU model. There is a single Gigabit Ethernet port and a reset button. Ceiling, wall and junction-box mounting are all supported, with the ceiling and wall kits supplied, which keeps installation tidy in a false-ceiling or surface-conduit fit-out.

Festa Cloud and the Festa App, With No Licence Fee

Management is through the Festa platform: centralised management, free cloud access, the Festa App for iOS and Android, and zero-touch provisioning so an AP can be claimed and configured before it reaches site. SNMP v1/v2c/v3, local and remote syslog, SSH, NTP and LED on/off control are all supported. TP-Link states that Festa cloud access is free today and that it reserves the right to charge in future, which is worth noting on a multi-year plan.

Guest Portals, WPA3 and Per-Client Rate Limiting

The F65 supports captive portal authentication, WPA-, WPA2- and WPA3-Personal and Enterprise, 802.1X, VLANs, wireless client isolation and a MAC filter of up to 4,000 entries. Sixteen SSIDs are available, eight per band, with per-SSID or per-client rate limiting and a guest network mode. Seamless roaming, mesh, beamforming, MU-MIMO, OFDMA, band steering, load balancing and airtime fairness round out the wireless feature set.

Ideal For

Singapore cafes, clinics, retail units, serviced offices and small schools that need business-grade Wi-Fi 6 with guest access and central management, but no controller hardware and no per-AP licence. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.
