## Description

Durable, weatherproof outdoor access point with PoE, MIMO technology, and Omada Controller software for flexible, manageable, and secure business-class wireless coverage.

Review: They work and give decent outdoor coverage for a not too bad price if you're happy with WIFI 5/AC - I use two of these to provide WiFi hotspots and outdoor coverage. One is just coming up to 2 years old and the other is 9 months. Both have lived outside and worked pretty flawlessly so far. For someone familiar with home networking, they're fairly easy to set up. You can either login via a browser and set them up via the web interface or use TP-Link's Omada software to provision them. Omada gives them a few extra features and lets you see and log more information than they would do by themselves. For speed and range, I've seen them top out at around 600mbps when within 10m with no real obstacles on 5GHz. Line-of-sight outdoors, the furthest I could test was 100m away where I could still get a decent signal and around 100mbps on my phone. Signal strength and speed drops off very quickly at this distance as soon as there's obstacles which is to be expected really. This is with 5GHz DFS channels which tend to be fairly free from interference. I haven't been able to make fair tests on 2.4GHz as this seems to be very busy in my area. I actually leave it disabled as it's pretty much unusable at any distance due to the amount of interference. I've had this with other routers/APs too here. Good points for me: - Omada is pretty cool (but not necessary for most cases) - Performance is as good as you'd expect from 2x2 WiFi 5 - They seem to survive outdoors - Range is good but as usual in WiFi manufacturer doodar land, their claims seem fairly optimistic ("300m+", line of sight at 1mbps while in an RF chamber during a full moon wearing no clothes) - With Omada, they apparently can be used in a mesh sort of configuration but I have yet to try this - Support for DFS channels on 5GHz (usually clearer channels if there's no weather radars) - PoE - Includes mounting bracket Bad points: - They're WiFi 5 and a little dated now (there are WiFi 6 models but they're kinda expensive) - If weather radar is detected on a DFS channel, they'll change to another non-DFS channel and remain there. It'd be nice if they returned once the channel was free again. You either have to reboot or change the frequency again. I think they're pretty neat but it would be nice to see the EAP610-Outdoor, the WiFi 6 equivalant drop down in price and replace these (assuming they're just as good but with WiFi 6). They're currently almost twice the price vs these EAP225-Outdoor (£150 vs £80). Booo!
Review: Perfect outside coverage - I had been using a booster in an up stairs bedroom and then another 20m down the garden in the shed to reach 45m down to the very bottom with the purpose of getting wifi to a solar powered ip camera, the camera is working better than before probably due to a better signal and less connections. I get full signal on 5g on my phone and the same speed test results 45m down the garden as i get direct from my router in the same room, with the booster setup the speed was poor and the connection was unreliable. The set up is so easy and worked straight away without any issues.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work in a caravan a 150 metres from my router ?**
A: It might work outside your caravan with line of sight, but once’s you go inside the metal box, the signal will drop quickly like a faraday cage. You would be better served putting a second one of these on the outside of your caravan as a repeater or better still using 2x TP-Link CPE210 devices to send and receive. The signal on the CPE210 transmits a more powerful, focused signal in one direction, so this might give you a better signal in the long run.

**Q: Can I plug this into an Ethernet port on a mesh extender?**
A: You should be able to do this as I have my device plugged into a mains extender located in the roof space. Works fine.

**Q: How do i get this to work, i simply want stronger wifi signal in garden so that my blink cameras actually work.**
A: You need to run a cat 5 cable from your router or a switch to this device outside. Then it will broadcast wifi connected to your existing internet.

**Q: Will the eap225 integrate with an existing deco mesh via the poe backhaul like my other decos? eg. broadcast the same ap sid without interference**
A: Not automatically. You’ll need to configure it.
