EAP225-Outdoor V1.8 (new)
Hello:
I have the AP in Standalone mode. Trying to reach a camera at a gate 100 feet away from AP, clear line of site. I setup with 5ghz and 2ghz SSID's. The 5ghz works great but, I need 2ghz at my gate.
When testing the 2ghz, I changes channels 1/6/11, changes WPA, turned off security, etc. Turned off 5ghz band. Nothing worked. Updated firmware, same issue. Signal RSSI is 50ish.
Symptoms are, I cannot connect unless withing 10ft of the device. Any further and it does not accept the password or if it does, latency is 800+ and speed test fails.
I have two devices and about to send both back. Can anyone tell me why 2ghz is not working.
Note, I havew a WiFi analisys tool, I know what is on each channel. I am also in a wide open rural area so not busy.
Would I do better by setting up as a mesh with controller software as I have two devices.
I also had the directional version a few weeks ago and had very similar issues.
Again, connecting to 5ghz, inside or out way past my intended location works great.
