New Arrival EAP215-Bridge/EAP211-Bridge KIT, The First Wireless Bridge Long-Range Access Point
This Article Applies to EAP215-Bridge KIT/EAP211-Bridge KIT
Hi Everyone,
We’re excited to announce the official launch of EAP215-Bridge KIT/EAP211-Bridge KIT here!
The new indoor/outdoor APs with enhanced directional antenna are designed for business scenarios such as wireless network connection/security, point-to-point, and point-to-multipoint wireless connections between distributed buildings. They can be managed uniformly through Omada Controller.
The two-pack (KIT) product supports Auto-Pairing and creates a mesh network when plugged in, which will be easy to set up.

Note:
1. Maximum wireless transmission rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Range and coverage specifications, along with the number of connected devices, were defined according to test results under normal usage conditions. Actual wireless transmission rate, wireless coverage, and number of connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles; 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead; and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality, and client condition.
2. All products are tested in real outdoor environments. Actual range and throughput depend on the transmission power and environmental factors such as wireless interference, obstacles, weather, etc.
3. Protection against lightning and electro-static discharge may be achieved through proper product setup, grounding, and cable shielding. Refer to the instruction manual and consult an IT professional to assist with setting up this product.
4.These functions require the use of an Omada SDN controller.
Highlight Feature
-
RSSI LED Thresholds: RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is a measurement of how well your device can hear a signal from an access point or router. It’s a value that is useful for determining if you have enough signal to get a good wireless connection. You can infer that the higher the RSSI value but you can infer that the higher the RSSI value is, the better the signal is. e is, the better the signal is.
How to use: You can edit the RSSI value to help evaluate the signal strength. If you set RSSI Value higher, but the less signal LEDs on sub EAPs on, that means the signal received on the sub EAP worse.
-
Wireless Bridge APs: It is an option to create or show the mesh network between bridge EAPs.
How to use: Log into the web > Management > Wireless Bridge Aps > click on “Add Sub-AP”, the main EAP will auto scan the sub EAPs around it and then auto add them to the mesh network, without requiring to put in the login password of the sub EAPs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can EAP Bridge KIT model build Mesh network with ER706W/ER706W-4G EAP225-Outdoor/EAP610-Outdoor/EAP650-Outdoor and other indoor EAPs?
No. Currently it’s only support to build mesh between EAP bridge Models. You will get error message “The child AP that supports P2P must be select the parent AP that also supports P2P."
Q2. How you suggest to install the EAP Bridge KIT outside to build point to point network?
It is necessary to ensure that the field of view between the EAP-Bridge is wide, unobstructed, and within each other's Horizontal Beamwidth. It’s suggested to place the sub AP ensure face to the fronts of the Root AP, and mounted at the same height as the root AP.
You can use the compass tool on your phone to determine the installation direction. You can also evaluate signal strength via the AP's signal LED or uplink negotiated rate and adjust placement accordingly.
