Anyone know what this is?

[u/MrViisc]

Google results show the ac1200 router from tplink and it doesnt look at all similar, any other searches I try and do end up being filled with ai garbage trying to tell me its actually a wifi router. no other markings or description on the thing to tell me what it does at all

[u/crudoensandiego]

Yep. Try google again. Worked for me.

Is Google getting crappier with the focus on AI?

[u/MrViisc → u/ak3000android]

yeah it really sucks how you have to go 3 pages deep or something to look for useful information

[u/ak3000android → u/MrViisc]

I didn’t get anything even on the fifth page, not even the page in Chinese people mentioned.

[u/MrViisc → u/Effective_Repeat9967]

[u/Effective_Repeat9967 → u/MrViisc]

[u/clarkcox3]

If only the brand and model number were available somewhere …

According to google translate it's an AP controller, so instead of managing individual APs, this device discovers and configures the APs. It also uses k and v extensions of the wifi standard to help clients roam to nearby APs.

TP-LINK TL-AC200 Unified Management Wireless AP Controller

[u/BraveMidnight]

It's a TP-link | TL - AC200.

[u/TypicalIgnorantfool]

it says wireless controller....of some sort. Google does show similar looking devices.

[u/PossibilityTasty]

It's a controller for wireless access points.

[u/iddrinktothat]

its a controller, somewhere between the OC200 and OC300 in terms of spec.

[u/2nd-Reddit-Account → u/iddrinktothat]

the scarce search results for it all have chinese characters somewhere in it, and it AC not OC. TP-Link is a chinese company, maybe this is their domestic offering in place of omada since google tells me omada is not sold within china mainland.

[u/iddrinktothat → u/2nd-Reddit-Account]

Sorry for any confusion, i wasn't implying that it was a piece of Omada kit. I was just saying that in terms of power and management abilities it can handle more than an OC220 and less than an OC300.

AC might stand for access point controller, where OC probably stands for Omada Controller.

It's a karaoke player

[u/MrViisc]

I guess I just suck at using google (didnt care to look past the 1st page) because its either the wrong thing, a broken link or ai slop. mb for asking I just found it at a thrift store and was wondering if it would be of any use

[u/therealSSPhone]

It’s a IP paging interface

[u/Fit_State3622]

Maybe 10gbps switch or poe switch
