Project Summary

We completed a TP-Link Omada network expansion for a business in Buda, TX, upgrading their existing wireless infrastructure while preserving hardware they already owned. The project included centralized network management, expanded indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi coverage, structured cabling, and security camera installation.

This approach delivered a cost-effective, scalable, and fully managed business network.


Why TP-Link Omada Was Selected

The client already had two standalone TP-Link access points in place. Instead of replacing working equipment, we selected TP-Link Omada to:

  • Convert standalone APs into a centrally managed network
  • Add cloud-based visibility and control
  • Expand coverage using Omada-compatible access points
  • Support new PoE-powered security cameras

This allowed the business to maximize existing investments while upgrading to a professional-grade system.


Omada Controller Installation & Network Unification

We installed and configured a TP-Link Omada Controller, which enabled:

  • Centralized management of all access points
  • Unified configuration and monitoring
  • Simplified troubleshooting and future expansion
  • Remote network visibility

All access points were adopted into a single Omada environment for consistent performance and management.


Structured Cabling Installation

To support the network expansion, we installed:

  • 10 new Ethernet cable runs
  • Cabling for 5 additional access points
  • Cabling for 5 IP security cameras
  • All cables tested, labeled, and professionally terminated

This ensured reliable PoE delivery and long-term network stability.


Wireless Expansion with Outdoor-Rated Access Points

We added five TP-Link Omada access points, including outdoor-rated models, to improve coverage across the property.

Benefits included:

  • Expanded indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi coverage
  • Improved signal strength and roaming
  • Hardware designed for weather-resistant environments

Access point placement was optimized for coverage, performance, and future scalability.


Security Camera Installation

As part of the project, we installed five Reolink TrackMix Poe security cameras, providing:

  • Clean PoE-powered connections
  • Reliable network integration
  • Coverage for key operational areas
  • Wide-Angle & Telephoto Lenses
  • Dual View, Dual Tracking
  • 4K 8MP Ultra HD

The camera infrastructure was designed to support future expansion without network redesign.


Results & Business Impact

After completion, the client gained:

  • A fully managed TP-Link Omada network
  • Expanded Wi-Fi coverage indoors and outdoors
  • Cleaner cabling and improved reliability
  • Integrated camera infrastructure
  • A scalable network built on existing hardware

This project highlights how TP-Link Omada is ideal for businesses seeking professional networking without unnecessary replacement costs.
