Introduction
Auranet series products provide wireless coverage solutions for small-medium business. They can either work independently in FAT mode or be centrally managed by the wireless controller in FIT mode, providing a flexible, richly-functional but easilyconfigured enterprise-grade wireless network for small and medium business.
“Celling lamp” appearance and easily mounting design with chassis make CAP easy to be installed on a wall or ceiling and blend in with most interior decorations.

Working Mode
CAPs support two working modes including FIT mode and FAT mode. In FIT mode, APs can be centrally managed by TP-Link’s wireless controller. The default FIT mode is used when you want to deploy a large wireless network. The management of every single AP in the network is complex and complicated. With the wireless controller, you can centrally manage the mass APs simply in a web browser.
In FAT mode, you can log in to AP’s webpage to manage the AP alone. The FAT mode is used in a small wireless network. The AP cannot be managed by wireless controller in FAT mode.
FIT Mode
In the default FIT mode, CAP should be managed by the wireless controller. Please refer to the Wireless Controller User Guide from our website at www.tp-link.com to learn more information about configuring and using the CAPs by the controller.
