Hi, I wanting to know where is the best position to place the EAP in my garden so I get best coverage in my summer house which is situated 50meteres away from house. For example do I place it 10feet high half way? Or 6ft half way etc.

@forrest hi I have the outdoor version with the 2 long antennas.
The antennas can be swiveled to point in different directions.
The AP is mounted in a vertical position onto such item like a pole or fence.
This is not ceiling mountable.

@Finney1984, position the EAP225-Outdoor about 8ft (2.40m) above ground and in the center of the area you want to supply with WLAN. The EAP covers ~210ft (70m) radius in the 360º H plane, but keep in mind that the coverage is limted also by your client device's antennas, not only the EAP's antennas. Thus, if you want to supply clients inside your summer house and there is no free line of sight between the clients and the EAP, position the EAP nearer to the summer house if possible. The EAP's antennas should both point upwards (parallel to each other) to make best use of MU-MIMO.

Hello @Finney1984,
Thinking of getting one of these for myself. How do you like it?
Anyone using the Ethernet port to connected other wired devices (via MESH uplink). This was a pleasant surprise when using my EAP225 indoor via MESH. Wondering if the outdoor works the same.

Sure, it works the same. In every Access Point its WLAN interface is always bridged with the Ethernet interface, thus clients wired to an AP's Ethernet port are in the same network as wireless clients are.
