Model: EAP225-Outdoor  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.8

Just installed new EAP225-Outdoor(US) V1.8  ... seems to work fine.  I have two questions that I am hopeful someone can help with.

 

1. The unit operating temperature:  The unit itself gets quite warm when in use.  Is this normal?  The unit is connected to a Netgear POE network switch using outdoor ethernet 3 ft cable.

 

2. How do I find the latest version of the firmware ?  

 

Thanks

You can find the latest firmware versio on the EN website:

As for the issue of temperature, if it does not affect the use of the product there should be nothing to worry about, if it does, or if it feels overheated, it would be better to contact support directly.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

It's normal for the 225-Outdoor to get warm to the touch, but should be warm like a hot sandwich, not hot like a mug of hot coffee :)  If you don't need all the radio power these units can put out, then feel free to back off the radio power and that will reduce heat.  My 225-outdoors are currently consuming 3.6W @ 53V each...and they are operating at full power.
