Hi

 

currently running 2 external 225 access points, one set up wirelessly and 1 internal 225 access point

 

i am looking at buying two more access points, is there any advantage to the 245 over 225, I see 245 doesn't support mesh but I won't need that

 

does the 245 give better range or just faster speed

 

regards

 

Fergin

@Fergin 

 

From the spec on tplink website, it seems the only difference is the speed and ethernet ports. 245 has a faster Signal Rate and one additional ethernet port.

 

The EAP225 and EAP245 are both indoor APs, no big difference in antennas (245 has ), so I don't think 245 gives a better range.

For me, I prefer to 225 instead of 245, 'cause my wireless clients support 867 Mbps at most, 1300M is kind of useless for my current clients.

@Fergin Most people probably have more than one unit, if you have a 2x2 and a 1x1 unit, for example, you will be able to utilize all three streams on EAP245, so more streams network faster if you have many units. 


as this picture shows.
