Hello Folks,

With really no directional / patch antennas availability from, TPlink,  can following scenario work using EAP225 indoors version?

1. Mainly 5GHz design, and no DFS channels available to use in EAP version for North America.

2. APs located about 16 to 18 feet high on 20ft ceilings, lowered by threaded rods by 2 to 4 feet.

3. AP to AP distance of about 70 to 80 feet. About 40 APs to be installed with 5GHz power set to medium. High power will cause imbalance in link to and from smartphones. And will result into too much of co-channel interference (which becomes a problem in high density environments).

My previous experience of using Cisco 1850 and 2800 series indoors APs when mounted at similar heights is that we can get very good coverage for the smartphones in about 50 feet away from the AP location, when we set power on the AP to be 15 to 17dBm.

Thanks
