TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor AC1200 Wireless MU-MIMO Gigabit Indoor/Outdoor Access Point

Description

The TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor AC1200 Wireless MU-MIMO Gigabit Indoor/Outdoor Access Point is a robust, high-performance solution designed for indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi coverage in demanding environments. Leveraging 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, it delivers dual-band speeds up to 1.2Gbps, with 867Mbps on the 5GHz band (80MHz, MCS0-MCS9, NSS 1-2) for HD streaming and VoIP, and 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band for IoT and browsing. 2×2 MU-MIMO enables simultaneous data streaming to multiple devices, while beamforming enhances signal directionality. The device supports up to 220+ clients (100+ per band), ideal for high-density environments like campuses, parks, or business venues.

Equipped with two detachable omni-directional antennas (3dBi at 2.4GHz, 4dBi at 5GHz), the EAP225-Outdoor provides long-range coverage: 200m+ at 2.4GHz and 300m+ at 5GHz (line-of-sight, tested in open environments). Its IP65 weatherproof enclosure, with 15kV ESD protection and 4kV lightning protection, ensures durability against dust, water, and harsh conditions (-30°C to 70°C). The slim design (215 × 46 × 27 mm without antennas) includes pole/wall-mounting kits for flexible deployment indoors or outdoors. It features one Gigabit Ethernet port supporting 802.3af/at PoE (Alternative A) and 24V passive PoE (adapter included), eliminating the need for separate power lines.

Integrated into Omada SDN, the EAP225-Outdoor supports Zero-Touch Provisioning, cloud-based management, and the Omada app for easy setup and monitoring. Omada Mesh Technology enables wireless connectivity between APs for extended range, while seamless roaming (802.11k/v) ensures uninterrupted video and voice calls during movement. Security features include WPA/WPA2-PSK, 64/128/152-bit WEP, captive portal (with Facebook Wi-Fi/SMS authentication), 802.1X, SSID-to-VLAN mapping, wireless isolation, and rogue AP detection. Up to 16 SSIDs (8 per band) allow network segmentation. Pharos Control and Omada Controller Software manage hundreds of APs centrally. Reviews praise its affordability ($60–$80), 30-minute setup, and reliable performance (e.g., 600Mbps at close range), though some note limited advanced controls via the app and the need for precise antenna alignment for optimal range.
