Great performance for its price

Outdoor-rated for use in harsh environments

Easy to install and comes with a PoE injector

Supports fast roaming for seamless connectivity

Can be paired with other TP-Link indoor access points for optimal coverage

Not a true wireless mesh unit

Omada interface/controller can be difficult to implement

Confusing product line with similar model numbers and capabilities

Verdict

Overall, the TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor is a decent access point for outdoor Wi-Fi coverage. It provides good performance and a strong feature set for its price. However, users should pay close attention to its capabilities and limitations before purchasing, particularly with regards to its Omada interface/controller and wireless mesh capabilities. The EAP225-Outdoor is best suited for specific scenarios, such as providing Wi-Fi coverage for a backyard or farm, or for use in a multi-building property. It is also a good value compared to other outdoor-rated access points on the market. Users should consider pairing it with other TP-Link indoor access points for optimal coverage.

TP-Link EAP225 Outdoor Access Point

So that's it for this access point. I think it's a pretty decent access point if you're just looking for some Wi-Fi coverage in your backyard. I was g...

TP Link EAP225 Outdoor: Unboxing, firmware tour and range testing

com, and it didn't seem to give me any trouble getting it across the border, and Amazon didn't complain, saying, not for Canada. So here it is.

Alternatives to Ubiquiti for all-in-one management?

Common product choices include the EAP225-V3 and EAP245 for general use indoor APs, EAP225-Outdoor, and EAP235-Wall for some very specific scenarios. Their Wifi 6 line is still rolling out but includes the EAP620 and EAP660, and the EAP660 supports 2.5GbE (and it's essentially required to get much higher bandwidth than the EAP620). The router is the ER605/TL-R605 (same model, it got re-branded). On average TP-Link's products are roughly 2/3 the cost of their Ubiquiti equivalents.

BE Warned! NOT a true wireless Mesh type unit.

Pay CLOSE attention to this unit, how it works, and what it does before you buy it!! 1) Omada interface / controller - as normal, great concept but total trash to implement. I de-registered the software, wiped the initial setup and started over rather than trying to mess with it (its only good for m...

AP Opinions; Meraki GO vs Ubiquiti vs Omada

It's for the deck and serves the deck. For a home network, the costs are very low so adding more APs to fill coverage gaps is very reasonable.

Not the range I was hoping for

I had two projects in mind for this Outdoor WAP. First, I was hopeful that I'd be able to cover a greater area of my farm for WiFi cameras. For testing, I raised the WAP on the top of a ladder to the peak of the roof where I would mount the device (if it worked well). Boy was I disappointed. I have ...

Multiple Access Points

Take a look at the TP-Link EAP225. Very affordable and provide great performance as well as a strong feature set for the price. They offer a newer AX model if you want the latest and greatest.

Great products but the WORST product naming and even worse compatibility info

I have two buildings on my property. My home, which houses the modem, and my metal barn. I bought the TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor | Omada AC1200 Wireless Gigabit Outdoor Access Point. I connected it to my modem, pointed at my metal building and had connectivity up until I entered my metal building. It tu...

What's the recommended setup for $300 for a fast LAN with wi-fi coverage.

I just did a tp-link er605 + tl-sg2210MP + eap620hd + eap225 outdoor + eap235-wall + OC200 setup and it was super simple and the performance is great. I have never used ubiquiti but they are more expensive. Make sure the feature set of the equipment meets what you truly need.

So far so great!

I'm a network engineer. I usually work with Cisco enterprise gear, some HPE/Aruba, Ruckus, a bit of Cisco Meraki (not a fan). I usually laugh at gear like TPlink, UniFy/Ubiquity etc. No, I probably will not ever recommend or deploy this TPlink Omada stuff at a customer site for any application. Mayb...
