Model: EAP225-Outdoor  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: latest

Hi,

 

my recent setup:

Telekom Speedport Smart 4 Router (Mesh-Master) with 3 Speed Home Wlan (Mesh-Clients) and 1 EAP110-outdoor wireless connected (Repeater):

Telekom Speedport Smart 4 --> Speed Home Wlan )))  EAP110-outdoor

 

I want to add another EAP225-outdoor wireless, but the EAP225-outdoor seems not able to work as repeater! :-(

Regarding to the hints in this forum it should be able to connect the EAP225-outdoor via Mesh, but how?

 

I installed the omada controller software and provisioned the EAP225-outdoor temporarly connected via LAN-cable. I tried to add the EAP110-outdoor to the omada controller as well, but with no success. Disconnecting the LAN-cable from the EAP225-outdoor's POE-power supply makes the EAP225 unavailable. I configured the WLAN, which could theretical be used as Wifi-uplink, but it is not used by the EAP225 (but the EAP110 does!).

 

I have no LAN-cable at the location where the EAP225 finally placed!

 

How to get the EAP225 working (like the EAP110, which has a perfect repeater setup wizard!)? With or without omada controller?

 

THX, Seb.

Hi  @SebStaeubert 

 

The link you shared introduces all detailed steps.

If you failed, please make sure your EAP225-outdoor is using the latest firmware version.

 

If still having difficulty, please let us know which steps you stuck at; better provide with some screenshots.

EAP110-Outdoor has repeater mode, EAP225-Outdoor have not, EAP225-Outdoor has mesh but EAP110-Outdoor have not. so you have a problem. I know some of the EAP6xx-Outdoor have repeater mode but I'm not sure which models, I think the EAP610-Outdoor has it.

@MR.S So, it is impossible in my setup to use EAP225, right?

But i coul'd use another EAP110 instead of the EAP225, hmm.

The other option would be to connect 2 EAP225s together wirelessly with Mesh, but that doesn't help me because at least one of those EAP225s would have to be connected with a cable (which is not possible for me), right?

The cheapest thing is probably to buy an EAP110-Outdoor, I don't know anything about how repeaters work, I've never used any repeaters, I use mesh if there is no other option, I would prefer a cable for access points.

Hi  @SebStaeubert 

 

EAP225-outdoor supports repeater mode. You can configure EAP225-outdoor as repeater mode to wirelessly connect to the EAP110-outdoor's SSID.

If you already tried this but failed, please let us know which step you stuck at.

 

 

But the wireless performance will decrease due to two wireless hops.

 

 

EAP110-outdoor doesn't support mesh. Using EAP mesh with EAP110-outdoor and EAP225-outdoor is not an option.

  @Vincent-TP I configured the EAP225-outdoor using the omada App and it works! Thank you very much!

 

I don't need the Omada Software Controller anymore, right?

It's a nice tool, but my EAP110-outddor and EAP225-outdoor could not be found since they configured as Repeater. Or is there a way to have them there?
