Hi all, new here and need some help/suggestions.
I'm trying to use two EAP225 Outdoor extedners to link 2 buildings together for a wired network in the 'receiving' building. It looks like I need to add an OC200 Controller and use the Omada software to create a mesh. What I'm hoping to do is run an Ethernet cable to the inside of the 'receiving' building, from the AP's LAN connection, to create the wired connection. Am I going about this the right way or is there a better way?
Here is a crude layout of what I'm trying to do:
Router-----OC200----------Ethernet --------EAP225))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))EAP225------------Ethernet-----------------Switch inside building
Thanks in advance for help on this.

@Nuss As stated I am doing virtually the same thing and not in just one location. I have 11 additional cameras in the system.
If you can connect to the AP in question wirelessly and get connectivity, then the issue is likely at the switch out, whether it be configuration error or a compatability issue.
There are a few things you can try.
1. Temporarily power the AP with its own POE adapter.
- Connect a cable from the POE adapters LAN Port to Port 5 on the POE switch. Leave Cam connected to POE Switch.
2. Temporarily remove the POE Switch.
- Power the AP with its own POE adapter.
- Power the Camera with its own AC adapter or POE adapter.
- Connect the camera to the LAN Port on the AP POE adapter

So I'm replying to my original post before the high jack.
Got all of this setup onsite today. I did the original setup in my office, then took all the hardware onsite for setup. Everythnig went smoothly, adapter to the new and different network environment. Checked speedtest.net at the main router and had 49 MBps, at the remote site go 40MBps. Everyone is happy! I like this setup with the Omada Hardware controller. Very simple, just adopted the "Root" EAP, then powered on the second EAP, the software saw it and adopted it. Done.
Thanks for the help from everyone.

Yeah I'm very happy with this. Another tech friend of mine said he was going to experiment with this. So I saved him some time by doing this, so he'll be happy with my report.
Thanks again to everyone who had input on this.
