Can anyone help me I have to link mesh system indoors but looking to extend my range of WiFi outdoors so looking at the EAP 225 outdoor unit firstly is the plug for this a 3 pin UK plug and the software can this be installed on a mobile and managed from a mobile or does this need to be a laptop.

Hi, EAP225-Outdoor is OK, use the omada app on the phone can also manage it.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

Mine came with both a EU and UK plug, but that was a while back now.    Note the plug doesnt got straight into the EAP, instead it goes into an injector (POE) then a network cable sends the power to the AP

 

Are you looking to cable this into a switch and mount it outside to extend the range?  Or are you wanting to use it wirelessly as a repeater?   If repeater, this may not be the best option for you unless you have existing Omada hardware.

Hey

 

If you have a deco already then the EAP225 honestly isnt the best choice for you, you would be better looking at the Deco x50 Outdoors as it would work better with what you have.  

 

The EAP225 is not designed for integration with the Deco, it will not allow you to easily move between them.. however a Deco X50 Outdoors would.    Yes its going to cost you more, but its a far better option for you tbh. 

 

THe EAP225 is a class AP, but its not for what you are trying to achieve
