Hi  @DrJohnnyFever 

 

A third EAP211-bridge KIT would work.

 

If it's not too far, around 100 meters, EAP225-outdoor is also ok.

  @Vincent-TP 

I think you meant a second EAP211-Bridge Kit, but regardless, if I buy another kit doesn't that give me another pair and now I have 4 modules?

I need 3 modules...

   2 modules that come in the kit

+ 1 ????

Hi  @DrJohnnyFever 

 

Yes, I mean a second KIT, a third EAP215-bridge unit.

 

If you can 't buy one unit separately, you can consider EAP225-outdoor.

 

What's the distance between the third unit and the uplink EAP?

  @Vincent-TP 

That distance would be 50'-100', depending on where the units are mounted. The buildings are at a right angle, so I can't guarantee they'll be mounted at the closest point because of line of sight matters (trees, garage roofline, etc.).

Thank you for your patience with me! So if I understand... you're saying to go EAP211 Kit units from house to the furtherst barn (because it has the range), and then jump to the other barn with the EAP225-Outdoor?

Thanks again.

>>>Yes, 50-100 feet is ok for the EAP225-Outdoor.

 

If there are some obstacles, please try to install the EAP units higher than them.

 

 

Thanks  @Vincent-TP !

EAP211 on the tower = Works awesome

EAP211 in barn #1 = Works aweseome

So overall, the EAP211 is delivering over 200Mbps to barn #1 from the house. Couldn't be happier!

But the EAP225 Outdoor isn't working as planned. It connects to the wireless network fine, and I can see some devices connecting to it wirelessly, but the LAN port on the power brick isn't doing anything (the POE port is working). I can't make a wired connection.

The Omada app doesn't give me any clues because it doesn't even indicate there is a LAN port in the settings (that I can find). When I web search the issue I see people get a "LAN port down" message, but I don't see anywhere to even check the LAN in the app to get that message.

The only thing I haven't tried is a switch, but I really don't need a switch in barn #2. Am I wrong in thinking that I should be able to make a wired network connection directly to the LAN port on the power brick? Do I need an intermediary?

BONUS QUESTION: If I did just buy a 2nd EAP211-Bridge Kit, could I use ONLY the client module (leave the main module in the box) and it will it auto-connect to the 1st main module on the tower? Or will I have to install the 2nd main module on the tower beside the 1st main module?

Thanks

P.S. Seriously though... the EAP211-Bridge Kit has exceeded all my expecations. Blows my mind how easy it was to setup and how fantastic it works.

Hi @DrJohnnyFever 

 

Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate it!

 

Normally, we should be able to get Internet access from the LAN port of the EAP225-outdoor. If plug a PC into the LAN port, what IP address will the PC obtain?

Did you adopt the EAP225-outdoor on the controller via mesh? Or did you configure it as repeater mode via an Omada APP?

>>>Yes

  @Vincent-TP 

No IP address obtained. The PC acts like it's not plugged into anything. I could steal the switch temporarily from the house just as an experiment, but I dunno if it's worth the effort to keep troubleshooting. At this point I'm strongly leaning towards to just stop being cheap and getting a 2nd EAP211-Bridge Kit (and returning the EAP225-Outdoor). You'll be seeing me in a couple days if that doesn't go well :)

I adopted it as a repeater via the Omada app. That seems to be working. I can see it on the network as a device, and wireless things seem to be connecting to it. Maybe the LAN port is faulty?

Thanks for your help!
