EAP225 Outdoor Mesh and Cloud Controller
i have multiple 225 outdoor units and could set them up easily on the ios app. i also setup a cloud account and loaded a cloud controller which loaded on the app. do i still need an OC200 or OC300 locally or can i just use the cloud controller i configured and adopt via the internet?

Here's the issue... When you run the guest portal, it drives up memory usage. So activing 225 guest portals, would kill the OC appliance.
I would use the TP-Link hosted controller or host your own on a decent PC/VM.

@BeachBumFL You can control via cloud but doesn't the cloud based controller require license purchases? I initially used the trial licenses to set up 1 EAP610 Outdoor wired and 4 EAP225 Outdoor but ordered the OC200 Hardware Controller shortly after. No license required and you get cloud and local.

ok that is more clear. ill just buy the oc200 and call it a day. sadly ive setup tens of thousands of APs using enterprise solutions (yes its embarasing) which support internet zero touch provisioning but i couldn't get this ap to register on my little farm.

@BeachBumFL I think that is a good choice. The one thing I noticed, and it may not be the same for you, is my OC200 took a few minutes to connect. Initially I thought there was something wrong so I kept unplugging power and Ethernet cable. Ended up that i just needed to wait.
They do have a free local PC and Mac Controller but it has to running for all features to work. Like you said, buy the OC200 and call it day.
