How to install Asus ExpertWiFi EBP15 Ethernet Switch

Setting up the Asus ExpertWiFi EBP15 is straightforward and designed for quick, painless deployment in today’s wired networks. Start by locating a stable workspace for the switch, ensuring adequate ventilation and a clean, organized cabling area. Connect the uplink port of the EBP15 to your router or switch using a standard Ethernet cable. This uplink creates the path for data to flow between your local network and the internet. Next, plug your PoE devices—such as an access point, IP camera, or VoIP phone—into the four PoE+ ports. If you’re powering a non-PoE device or require additional data paths, use the remaining non-PoE port for a non-PoE device or another switch link. Once connected, power on the switch. The ExpertWiFi ecosystem enables you to quickly discover and add the EBP15 to your existing network profile on the app, where you can enable PoE priority for critical devices, configure VLANs to segment traffic, and set QoS rules to prioritize latency-sensitive data such as voice and video streams. Typical LED indicators on the front panel reflect port activity, PoE status, and link integrity, offering at-a-glance visibility into network health. You can then tailor performance parameters—such as which devices receive higher priority in power allocation, which traffic is treated with higher priority, and how devices are grouped into logical networks—through a friendly, intuitive interface in the ExpertWiFi app. For small businesses, this means rapid deployment of reliable wireless access points and security cameras without complicated setup steps or specialized IT support. For home offices, the EBP15 provides a neat way to power and manage multiple PoE devices while keeping management centralized and accessible from one dashboard. Ensure firmware is up to date via the app to maintain optimal performance, stability, and security over time. If you need to expand, the EBP15 works in harmony with other ExpertWiFi devices, allowing you to scale your network with additional switches and access points as your needs evolve. In short, the EBP15 delivers a clean, efficient solution for delivering both data and power where you need it most, with management that’s accessible whether you are an IT professional or a tech-savvy user building a robust small business network.

Frequently asked questions

• What is PoE+ and what does a 60W PoE budget mean for the EBP15? PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) enables higher power delivery over Ethernet compared to standard PoE. The EBP15 provides a total PoE budget of up to 60W across its four PoE+ ports, allowing multiple PoE devices to operate simultaneously without additional power adapters.
• How many PoE ports does the EBP15 have? The switch includes four PoE+ ports that can power PoE-enabled devices, plus one non-PoE port for data or uplink connections.
• Can I manage the switch through the ExpertWiFi app? Yes. The EBP15 is designed for centralized management within the ExpertWiFi ecosystem, enabling you to monitor device status, configure PoE priorities, adjust VLANs, and apply QoS rules from a single, intuitive interface.
• Is this switch suitable for powering IP cameras and wireless access points? Absolutely. The four PoE+ ports are ideal for powering PoE-enabled IP cameras and wireless APs, reducing cable clutter and simplifying deployment in small business or home network environments.
• Does the EBP15 support VLANs and QoS? Yes. The switch includes VLAN support and Quality of Service (QoS) features to help you segment traffic and prioritize critical applications, such as voice and video, ensuring smoother performance across devices.
• What is required to install the EBP15? At minimum, you need a router or main switch for uplink connectivity and PoE-enabled devices to power via the PoE ports. The ExpertWiFi app provides a guided setup experience to help you configure PoE priorities, VLANs, and QoS with ease.
