TP-Link Omada Long Range Outdoor Access Point - WiFi Extender Outdoor Universal Compatible, AC1200 Dual Band, IP65 Weatherproof, Free Expert Help, Omada Remote Managed(EAP225-Outdoor)

Excellent outdoor access point. Setup through the Omada app was straightforward, and the unit delivers strong, stable coverage over a long distance. Once mounted and powered, it just works. Signal stays solid even through walls and across open areas, and it handles multiple devices without dropping. If you need reliable outdoor WiFi with real range, this is a great choice. It is easy to setup, it is small and well made.

Installed this 3 years ago in a rural setting for a ring camera setup approximately 500 ft from antenna. Good line of sight with only a tree partially obstructing. Only one connectivity issue in three years due to prairie winds “adjusting” the antennas. Recently had a need to test the range for an additional camera. Was able to obtain a good connection at nearly 600 feet, direct line of sight. Couldn’t be more pleased with ease of setup, range and signal stability. Your mileage will vary depending on obstructions and level of RFI noise. Extreme cold, heat and moisture on Colorado eastern plains didn’t touch it.

I got my first AC1350/EAP225 way back in 2018 during a Black Friday sale. I got a second one this week to see how well the mesh networking feature works. For the price, I am really impressed. Before buying, I was concerned because one other reviewer said his mesh network collapsed when he powered down the PC that hosted the controller software, but that hasn't been a problem for me so far. I shut my home PC down over night, and noted that both APs were up and serving traffic just fine when I woke up this morning (before turning on my PC to run the controller software again). My second AP isn't connected to anything other than a garage wall outlet, so I know it's working without the controller running when I'm on the other end of my property surfing YouTube on a laptop. When I fired up my PC and the controller software this morning, I noted half a dozen clients from my in-laws RV in the driveway were already connected and merrily surfing away while my PC remained off. Speaking of the controller software, it's pretty nice. Some of the English is a little broken, which I find funny, but otherwise, the software is really high quality, especially for being free. It has lots of features like channel strength scanning, showing a map of clients, event log, available bandwidth, who's using which bands, signal strength, error rate, throughput, and a lot of other stuff. It's pretty fancy. It looks like the controller software is built with Java and runs some sort of Java servlet container. You access the UI via browser. I noted that the software uses a self contained Mongo database server. I elected to install the software to my "Program Files" folder, so I had to adjust some NTFS permissions to allow Mongo db write access and make it work correctly, but it otherwise doesn't need to run as Administrator. If you have no idea what I'm talking about here, this EAP setup may not be for you, but if you're an IT person like me, it's great. I'm a software engineer that didn't even know what 'mesh networking' was exactly, last week, and I found it pretty easy to learn and implement. The 'Omada' software is available and regularly updated on the TP-Link website, and I had to download new firmware for my APs right off the bat, too. Once the software is running though, it's pretty simple to provision the access points. Just make sure you know what you're doing with WPA2, passwords, etc. to keep your network to yourself, of course. The package doesn't have any of the BS bloat that ships with home version mesh network packages like 'Antivirus' junk and 'Parental Controls', that I can tell. Just pure, professional, wireless networking. It does have things like 'Guest Network', and some other bells and whistles geared toward small businesses. This package feels like it was made for IT people and an office, and that's good.

Like most, I have a few rooms in the house that dont receive a strong signal from my (xfinity) router. I finally found a fast, easy solution to solve the problem - moca connectors. Moca connectors use your cable outlets to distribute your internet signal throughout your house, without impacting your cable signal. Read my review on the Powerbeam moca connectors if you want to learn more. Moca connectors send the signal throughout your house, but the signal is delivered at the receiving end via ethernet cable. I wanted a wireless solution (rather than hard wired - no ethernet connection on the cell phone!) so I purchased the TP-Link 1800 to use as a wireless access point (WAP - see I learned something in all my research!). The hook up of the device is simple - power it up by plugging the A/C plug into the wall, and then connect the moca device to the TP-link with the supplied ethernet cable. The installation is completed using your cell phone and the TP-link app called Omada. As other reviewers have recommended, follow the instructions closely. In the end, it was not too complex for a non-techie like me. Install the app on your phone, power up the WAP device, go to your phones wifi section and select the 2.4 or 5.0ghz signal (the full address of the signal corresponds to the address on the bottom of the TP-Link device), select that signal, then the app should tell you that no devices are hooked up and ask you for permission to access a local network. After giving the device permission to access your wifi network, you then are asked to name your WAP connection, fill in your network SSID name and password, and you are online. So I am now receiving 500+Mbps wi-fi signals in rooms which previously were dead zones. So why not five stars? Contrary to what I "thought" I understood, this device does NOT use the same SSID as your router / home network (NOTE: there is an exception noted below). I had read on the manufacturers website that you could use a single SSID name, and your device would transfer amongst access points as devices moved amongst the network - e.g. This solution for example does not automatically transfer from the WAP to the router and back as you move within the house. You have to manually select the signal / SSID you wish to connect to, in order to get the optimal signal I talked with the TP-Link help desk. Technically their marketing material is not wrong and you can have a seamless, roaming solution. However in order to achieve this, I was told that all the equipment - i.e. router and WAP, along with any relay points (I dont have any relays) need to be TP-link equipment, and running on the Omada software in order to manage the seamless transfers as you roam. in other words, my Comcast router and the TP-link cannot hand off to one another. So in this instance, if you dont have a TP-Link router / modem, you need to name your WAP separately from your router (i.e. different SSID's) so you can select the most optimal connection point as you move within the house. In conclusion, this is product is constructed quite well and works efficiently. Dont waste your time on range extenders or those Powerline / xfinity pod solutions (rubbish). Other than having to manually update access points as you roam, the device provides a strong wireless signal in rooms that were previously dead zones.

L'antenna funziona molto bene ed è ben integrata nel sistema Omada, volendo però può essere usata come semplice access point o come ripetitore di segnale. Portata buona, dipende molto dal posizionamento delle antenne. Ne ho montate 3 di cui una sul tetto, perfette.

This items gives a good Wi-Fi signal up to 150 meters. It is very easy to install and set up.

Great product. Excellent range

worked well. 2.4G travels further than 5G.

Morreu após menos de 1 ano de uso. Não estava exposto à chuva nem ao tempo. Simplesmente parou de funcionar. O RMA da TPLink não responde.
