TP-LINK (EAP225-OUTDOOR) (867+300) Wireless N Outdoor Access Point, MU-MIMO Tech, Free Software

I have been using the AP for about a month. It was easy to set up and has been rock solid since. It works much better than another I had from Engenius. It allows for up to 4 SSIDs on two frequencies. I was able to isolate myself from other users on the AP. I did need an extender to get connectivity to my back yard.

Another great divide by TP Link ,not much to say, So far so good

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!

Wanted to get the WiFi to the back shed, it was a little tricky to get the cable through the house hidden as much as possible, but it is doing a great job so far with delivering WiFi to the shed where my workout equipment is.

Easy installation

Questo Access point ha una buona portata. L'ho installato all' interno del mio box e riesce a coprire tutta l'area del mio giardino

Very easy to set up great range
