EAP 225 WALL Questions
There's too little information on EAP 225 WALL, I wanna know if plugging a CPE 510 on one of the ports of EAP 225 wall will allow CPE 510 to use the portal for voucher....

Hi @Meow_Meow,
No. The Omada Server or OC-200 is required to manage vouchers. Generally end users should not be connecting directly to a CPE -- these are generally used for point to point WISP applications.

@JSchnee21 I mean, I already have an OC200 but then I saw the EAP 225 Wall and saw that it had multiple ports, so I just thought, What would happen if I plug a CPE 510 in one of those ports? will it act just like a normal router?

Hi @Meow_Meow,
Yes, you can connect the EAP225-Wall to a CPE.
There are four different ways you can configure the CPE -- see the refernece guide.-- it describes them better than I can.
1) as an air PTP link only -- a wireless bridge acting like a long wire
2) as a PTP link and AP -- acting as a bridge and an AP for wireless clients (using the DHCP and routing from the network it's bridged to)
3) as a router and PTP Link / AP when hardwired to another network -- performing NAT & DHCP for local clients -- like your home broadband router
4) as a router and PTP Link / AP when wirelessly connected to another network -- performing NAT & DHCP for local clients
So for example, you could use option 4 if you have multiple buildings connected through PTP air links back to a central point, but you want each building to have it's own DHCP subnet.
I don't think the CPE does anything with vouchers (though I could be wrong). Either way clients have to get back to Omada, I believe.
What are you trying to do? Uplink your Wall AP's back to another building via CPE?

Hi @Meow_Meow,
I think the TP-Link products can work for you. It's just that you need to run the Omada software on a PC 24x7, or get an OC-200 to run it in order to support the captive portal / voucher setup.

I actually had a CF E312A as PTP and a CF EW72 and that I was able to use its bridge mode to allow vouchers and it worked, I was hoping that EAP 225 Wall could do the same with its ports
IIRC, the ports of EAP225-WALL are just downlinks bridged to the uplink port, thus they do not provide portal/voucher functionality.
