Model: EAP225-Outdoor  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 5.2.3

I have simple mesh network,
EAP 610 hooked up to a router that is hooked up to my internet access
CP-220 hooked up to that router as a hardware controller
EAP 603 on one building. 
EAP 225 on another building.

The 225 shows as being uplinked to the 610, shows as having good signal strength, but does not have any connectivity. 0 bytes transmitted. I tried hooking up to the eithernet and nothing. The firmware upgrade and forced provisision seemed to work well so it is obviously on the network, not sure what else to try??
Here is a screenshot of the uplink status in the mesh screen:

Hi, @colorado77 

That is possible. If it is convenient for you, you may try removing one of your APs, placing it next to another AP for testing to verify whether it can function properly.

If the Mesh network is successfully established and operates normally, you can then reinstall the AP back to its original location.

As I mentioned earlier, the Bridge KIT product may well be a more suitable option for your specific usage scenario.

Hi,  @colorado77 
Thank you for your post on our business forum.

Generally, we do not recommend deploying a Mesh network across separate buildings. 

As an initial troubleshooting test, you may place both APs within the same building to complete the configuration first, then proceed with your on-site installation to verify whether the network can operate normally.

If your use case requires point-to-point connectivity across separate buildings, we would like to recommend our Bridge KIT product, which is likely a better fit for your requirements: Wireless Bridge | TP-Link

  @Nathan-TP 
I have successfully run this set up for years. I had a hardware failure on my controller and upgraded one of the other APs (not the one this is linking to) and then tried to update firmware and rebuild it and it does not work now.

I am confused how it can show on the mesh with good quality connection and then not actually serve up the network?  I would assume these transmit statistics are all mesh comunication?
