Deco x20 to EAP225-Outdoor
2022-03-27 21:16:05
Model: Deco  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

My home network is set up in the following way;

  • ADSL to a Router
  • Router to DECO x20
  • DECO x20 to a TP-Link switch
  • DECO x20 to 2 DECO x20 wifi mesh in main house
  • DECO x20 to 1 DECO x20 in Guesthouse wifi mesh Guesthouse is 50 feet away
  • TP-Link Switch to 2 EAP225 Outdoor Access Point mounted outdoors.

 

All the devices have the same SSID, and password.

 

My question. Will the EAP225's continue the mesh network from the indoor DECO x20's? Will the users be able to roam with out acquiring a new IP address?

Hi, the users will switch to different access points without acquiring a new IP address but the wireless network of Deco and EAP still belong to different Wi-Fi networks.

They could not use it to create the same Mesh network:

Thanks for the informative response.  Not the answer I wanted but the facts are always better. Now I know what I'm dealing with. 

 

One additional question: What indoor access point will extend the EAP225 outdoor network indoors. Two of my DECO x20's are not in the same building as the DECO x20 connected to the router. The signal these two provide to other devices (mobile phones, Smart TVs, Laptops) is weak.  I want to improve it.

Hi, may I know the distance between two buildings?

Are the two places under the same electric circuit? --if yes, have you used powerline adapters before?
