EAP225-Outdoor has worst WiFi signal than a C310 camera
I've been trying to wrap my head around it, but honestly I still can't figure it out.
I have a EAP225-Outdoor, connected via Ethernet to a X50, on a wall outside my house.
10-15m, right in front of it, I have another EAP225-Outdoor on another outside wall and 1m to the side I have a C310 (WiFi) camera.
The second EAP is on a mesh, with the first one. The C310 camera is also connected to the first EAP. And one would suspect that the EAP would have a better RSSI than the camera - at least from a hardware perspective.
But...
C310:
EAP225-Outdoor (second one):
I did a lot of configuration changes, on both EAPs:
- different bands
- 20MHz, 40MHz, Auto
- only the 2.4Ghz is enabled
- etc.
But with the same results.
At this point, I have most devices: cameras, iot devices, esp32 devices, etc., connected to the faraway EAP on my house's outside wall, rather than the one near them.
I have one or two, esp32 devices connected to it, working as sensors that give a reading once in a while - and even that is somewhat unreliable.
But in no way I can relly on it to have a more thorough and stable connection, such as connecting cameras, shelly devices serving as gates opener-bypass and many other instances and needs.
C310, connected to the first EAP:
But if I locked it to the second EAP, right next to it:
The problem is how unstable that connection becomes throughout the day.
