Model: EAP225-Outdoor  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have an Omada ER7206 router, OC200 Hardware controller, 24 port POE and EAP620 HD AP.  Just got my metal shop building up and need internet inside.  Before I buy the additional hardware I wanted to ask if I was making any mistakes.

 

Plan - Install an EAP225-Outdoor on outside of metal building.  Distance to EAP 620 access point in my house is 50ft.  Want to mesh connect the 2 AP's.

Drill hole in metal building and run Cat 5e from EAP 225-Outdoor to a POE switch.

 

Considering TP-Link TL-SG1005P 5 Port unmanaged POE switch.

POE port 1 to Outdoor AP

POE port 2 to In-shop AP (EAP 635 wall)

POE port 3 to Camera mounted on back of shop

 

House has Main network 192.168.0.X  SSID: MAIN

House has CAM network 192.168.50.X (limits cameras from having internet access)

 

My assumptions:

1) I configure outdoor AP to mesh with house AP.  Its a wireless connection only and wont transmit an SSID

2) Indoor AP SSID will be same as house MAIN and will be on 192.168.0.X

3) I can setup the new shop outdoor camera to be on the CAM network subnet 192.168.50.X

 

Does my hardware setup look ok?

 

Can I accomoplish this with the TL-SG1005P 5 Port unmanaged POE switch or will I have to upgrade to something like the  TP-Link TL-SG2008P | Jetstream 8 Port Gigabit Smart Managed PoE Switch?

 

Thank you for any input!

Firstly, the recommended WiFi coverage radius for indoor EAPs is 15m, which is slightly far from outdoor EAPs that are 50ft apart to form a mesh, so it is recommended to test the performance in the field.

If you want to achieve multiple subnets, only unmanaged switches are not very good, take a look at this:

  @Virgo Thank you for the link!

 

I'll test but looks like I may need a 2nd EAP225 Outdoor AP.
