TP-Link AC1200 EAP225 Wireless Gigabit Indoor/Outdoor Access Point: Review Configuration Range Test

[@davidreilly1031]

Hi Naresh, thanks for posting this video, I picked up one of these for an installation I was doing this week, a full rewire of comms and aerials buried in ducting around a building. So was pleased to see a British video, showing set up by phone app rather than American on a computer. Always apprehensive about the tech side of things, particularly with kit I've never fitted before. I couldn't believe how easy it was to set up this little white rabbit for my customers back garden. So simple, just a user name, a password and then 2nd step just copy the ssid and password of the modem, job done, seamless handover between house and garden. Customer happy. Thanks mate.

[@ThatGuyAlFromThere]

Cheers Naresh. I've been investigating this unit (and similar ones) for about 6 months but wasn't sure if it was going to do what I wanted so I procrastinated. I saw your video yesterday and it was more informative than the info from TP Link. So I picked my EAP-225-outdoor up this morning,! Very simple to set up (and as I wanted to use it to to extend my wifi range without having to set up another SSID I just gave it the same SSID/password and security mode as my existing network and it works great. I live in a semi-rural area and our mobile reception is practically non-existent but now with this AP and wifi calling I can actually get calls out in the paddock. Cheers mate, appreciate the effort you put into your video :) thumbs up from Australia.

[@nareshkeswani80]

that is really good to know that have same SSID networks can work what i have seen in past they usually create conflict i will checking my network again to have simper cheers

[@Imgonnaofficial]

Did this keep working for the same network as your indoor network? Would rather avoid having multiple networks. Thanks.

[@steve24steve]

For anyone wanting to implement this setup would recommend the following: 1)Use a password generator to generate a strong password as you are increasing your network range. 2) Wire the network cable directly into the Power injector and then a port on your router 3) If your setup permits ideally put it on a different network (vlan) to isolate it from your main home network also hide your SSID on this device if possible.

[@Trollnix2]

Hello. Can I ask if I need to setup this on my router too? My isp dont want/didn't provide a password/user on my router isp. All they provide is the password for the wifi on the router. So can I just plug this one and use it or do I need to set it up on my router's portal?

[@DogsAreGods]

Finally, someone who does an unboxing of the product as well!

[@dalv086]

I got this one. I had before 110 model. I can say this EAP 225 is not better than the other one at all. The bonus for this one is 5G , but you can use it 10- 15 m range ..., if you go 50, 100 m you go on 2Ghz, and the maxim I got is 55mpbs at 50 m probably and 10 Mbps at 100 m - the same speed as the 110.Conclusion: If you need the signal to reach long distances, this is not better than EAP 110 half of the price.

[@dchosendamian1028]

What about if you have gigabit speed internet, wouldn't the EAP110 model limit the max speed

[@ericoxford7069]

[@HepcatHarley]

I've literally just installed this and was looking at how to configure the settings in the app when I saw your video. I have exactly the same set up as you and run a few Ring cameras at the bottom of the garden to protect my caravan etc. My old set up with a router in my shed was very glitchy at times but now the cameras are immediately spot on picture quality. Thank you for your video, my system is now password secure and I can relax :)

[@AndrewLumsden]

You need to angle the two screw on aerials away from themselves - in a V configuration. Do not have them bolt upright, parallel to each other. Thats why there is a hinge in them

[@nareshkeswani80]

since this installation i had corrected them placed them in angle to get better signal

[@miked6523]

thanks for the video. About how many yards did you walk away from the house when testing the signal strength?

[@kyleo3686]

So how do I get this to work wirelessly? Does this have to be plugged into the router in ny house the whole time? I thought the point was for me to not have to do that

[@darinladick6666]

My question exactly!!! Did you ever find out?

[@bitspieces3885]

Lots of good explanation. Thank you for that. However some critical information was totally left out. Namely is how to secure the AP setup after it is installed. Secondly it would be useful if you would show more detail on the wiring connectors you used and plugging them in. What do you recommend?

Thank you very much I have one of these coming in the mail I did have the wavlink and it did not work for me.

I have a question: I have a shop about 600 feet from the main wifi network/router and can not run hardwire from the router all the way to the TP link. How would you recommend I go about getting a network to the shop? Will it work to put a TP link outside the house (where the wifi network/router is) and point it in the direction of the shop about 600 feet away? Or do you have some other recommendation? Although I am tech savvy, this is my first time using technology like this. I greatly appreciate your help!

I just picked up this one for my property too and works pretty well but was wondering if you had any experience with any other products that are a bit less wire/power dependent. Do you know of any wifi repeaters that are battery powered, and also don't require a cat5 back to the router as well, but can extend wifi almost like a mesh? Would be nice to be able to just extend the wifi outdoors with no wires coming back into the home... but its surprisingly hard to find a product that can do this.

I was looking to extend my wifi signal from inside my house, to areas away from my house where house wifi signal strength is weak. Is it possible to get this unit to work without physically connecting it to my network via ethernet cable ? I had hoped to mount this away from my house on an outbuilding (tool shed).

[@rodgerq]

Good video, I have just purchased the ceiling mounted eap1350. I assume it'll be much the same as this to configure. I hope it's as easy. Amazing difference in the 5ghz range. Does the Poe require a specific type of cable or does any ethernet cable work?
