I have one of these. I installed it in my attic space, POE, with zero regrets. It was a PITA getting it there, but it was worth it. I have coverage everywhere I need it, and it fares well no matter how hot or cold it gets up there. I didn't want 'cheap', I wanted medium quality, and that's exactly what this is. Not the best, but not the worst, either. The antenna connector is SMA here in North America.
This is correct. The video's description says - "This short few minute video, gives you a quick overview of what you can find in the box when you receive your TP Link EAP225 Outdoor Access Point" Really sorry it was not the video you were looking for
The key as you will probably realise is not the power of the access point but the power of the antenna in the connecting device, ie the laptop or phone etc. Often a laptop can only manage about 20m so as a result it will still need to be within 20m of the access point to work. In a school environment I would suggest you use a number of these, either meshed together, or cabled together to give you the best coverage over a 500m radius. Just using one, I think will not give you the best outcome. I hope this helps.
Good question. For 350m, I would suggest not using these. If you did decide to, then you will need to use2, but the range will give you some issue. I would suggest you use a EAP215 Bridge Kit for that distance. I hope this helps
The EAP215 are as physically tall as the EAP225 and the entire front of the unit is an antenna. They are also directional, where as the EAP225 is an Onmi The EAP215 is a bridge and not an access point so the distacne it can cover is very different as it is measured between two EAP215's directly and like the EAP225 which is between a client (phone computer etc) and the access point.
It will need an ethernet cable to be used to connect to the PoE injector to power it. It can then wirelessly connect to another TP-Link Omada access point and wirelessly repeat without having to be physically cabled to the network.
Good question. This is part of the TP-Link Omada range and is designed to work with other TP-Link Omada access points. It won't connect to a different wireless vendor and repeat it I am afraid. It will only work with other TP-Link Omada access points.
Good question. This is not a wireless repeater or extender. It won't join a current wireless network and rebroadcast it, so it needs to be wired to your current network. If you already have a TP-Link Omada setup though, then it is possible to have it wirelessly join a current TP-Link Omada Wireless setup without the need for a cable. I hope this helps.
@@The_Tech_Geeks Hi The_Tech_Geeks Geek, I have three of this devices, TP-Link Omada and look to join them wirelessly but I cannot find information on how to do that. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks again for the video and all the work. Cheers!
So I have a metal building that is about 120 ft from our home that i am trying to get internet too.. Would This work for that ? I cant find and distance specs on this
Great question. Wireless does not travel through metal (well it may travel through a very thin skin) so your issues is really that although the AP may be able to get a signal 120ft it won't be useable in the metal building I am afraid. You could use two of these, one on the first nad one on the second and then loop it through to an access point inside the metal building as an option. This would be called a wireless mesh. A wireless bridge may be a better and more stable approach.

Great to hear it is working well for you
This isn’t a setup video, this is an unboxing video
This is correct. The video's description says - "This short few minute video, gives you a quick overview of what you can find in the box when you receive your TP Link EAP225 Outdoor Access Point" Really sorry it was not the video you were looking for
Perfect. I needed this. 😁
So good, pleased it help
Nice and very informative. Will this work if I want to set up a WiFi for my school with approximately 500m radius? Or you have a different suggestion?
The key as you will probably realise is not the power of the access point but the power of the antenna in the connecting device, ie the laptop or phone etc. Often a laptop can only manage about 20m so as a result it will still need to be within 20m of the access point to work.

If you connect 2 buildings to each other 350m apart Do you have to use two of these?
And will a parabolic outdoor antenn give longer range?
Good question. For 350m, I would suggest not using these. If you did decide to, then you will need to use2, but the range will give you some issue. I would suggest you use a EAP215 Bridge Kit for that distance. I hope this helps
@@The_Tech_Geeks ok
But those have so tiny built in antennas. And no separate antenna outlet.
They say "5km range" but im really not sure about that😂

Can this be used wireless without the ethernet cable?
It will need an ethernet cable to be used to connect to the PoE injector to power it. It can then wirelessly connect to another TP-Link Omada access point and wirelessly repeat without having to be physically cabled to the network.
Hello this product can be used to extend wifi range from an indoor router ? Can it connect to indoor router by wifi ?
Good question. This is part of the TP-Link Omada range and is designed to work with other TP-Link Omada access points. It won't connect to a different wireless vendor and repeat it I am afraid. It will only work with other TP-Link Omada access points.
Quick question. Does it need ethernet to work? Could i just put it outside and have it extend my wifi to my detached garage?
Good question. This is not a wireless repeater or extender. It won't join a current wireless network and rebroadcast it, so it needs to be wired to your current network. If you already have a TP-Link Omada setup though, then it is possible to have it wirelessly join a current TP-Link Omada Wireless setup without the need for a cable. I hope this helps.

150$ hahahahahaha
It is a mid range priced item, but there certainly are some cheaper solutions out there.
