2x EAP225 Outdoor to EAP225 Ceiling

Tags: #Mesh

Model: EAP225-Outdoor

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

My problem: I have two buildings on my property, one is my home and the other is my shop. The shop is a metal building which blocks the signal from the EAP225Outdoor. I had trouble understanding the tech support agent, she was not very clear or helpful, often confusing the products.

I currently have two EAP225 Outdoor and one EAP225 Ceiling.

I would like to go router to EAP225Outdoor vial ethernet, wirelessly connect to EAP225Outdoor, and then connect to Eap225Ceiling via ethernet cable to distribute the wifi signal inside my shop.

Please help, I am beyond confused... I think I need an OC200? Maybe this isn't even possible?

@taydiggz

use this instead of tweaking around the eap, that won't help at all in your case

@Tedd404 is there a way to then have an ethernet cable to go into my building and then a rage extender or another cpe to project the signal indoors? Even with the cpe on the wall outside the building i will not have signal inside.

@taydiggz Router <wire> EAP225 Outdoor <mesh> EAP225 Outdoor <wire> EAP225 Ceiling.

This should work but I think you would need to run the free software controller or add an OC100 to enable the MESH between the two EAP225 Outdoor. The free software controller requires Java installation. I am not sure if the PC needs to be running fulltime for the mesh to remain active.

Temporarily run ethernet before going through the trouble of routing and just make sure it works.
