If the connection to an EAP225 is dropped at 10m, it's almost certainly caused by weak antennas in your client devices (e.g. smartphone, laptop) or there are obstacles in-between with metal parts such as steel concrete.

 

I would recommend a second EAP225 10-15m apart. If you insist on wireless connection to the EAP225, consider using a mesh network. Repeaters/extenders make things much worser, not better.

Extended antennas won't help much. The weak point is the client device's antenna, not EAP's antennas. You would need to improve your smartphone's or tablet's or laptop's antenna. Better than exchanging antennas of an EAP are following measures:

 

  • Ensure free line of sight between clients and the EAP.
  • Use 802.11n-only mode for 2.4 GHz and 802.11n/ac-only mode for 5 GHz. If your client is too old for n/ac modes, all bets are off anyway regarding optimization.
  • Use 20 MHz channel width for  2.4 GHz and 40 (or 20) MHz for 5 GHz.

 

also.. the cpe110 thats one of my choices as a repeater. but i dont know if it will work on eap225.. cant find any supporting info online..

 

Typo? There is no CPE110. The CPE210 can be configured as a repeater, but it has been designed for long-range directional links between two CPEs or between a CPE210 and WBS210. It's a completely different use case than what's an EAP is for.

 

You could wirelessly connect a CPE210 in repeater mode to an EAP, but the CPE's antenna beam width is 65º, therefore covering only the area inside this angle. What's more, you will run into the Hidden Node problem if using a repeater (any repeater) to extend the WiFi signal.

 

If you really want to supply clients with a CPE/WBS device and a stronger antenna, consider use of WBS210 with TL-ANT2410MO, but expect only a very slightly enhancement if your client device is the cause of the weakness (as I guess if it drops connection to an EAP225-Outdor at 10m distance).
