New access point in my boathouse.

My router, supplied by my service provider is feeding a CPE710 on my house which is set on AP mode. It's bridged with another CPE710 in client mode on a pole, about 500 feet away next to my boathouse. The COE710 client is plugged inside my boathouse. The outside WiFi signal is excellent and the speed is too.

Unfortunately the WiFi signal will not penetrate the walls of the boathouse. I therefore want to connect another access point inside my boathouse using the LAN port on my CPE710 Client's power block. Can this be done, and how?

If not, can I use an outdoor wireless range extender to feed off of the CPE710's wireless signal and broadcast through the walls of my boathouse. If yes, what is the best hardware?

I also have a TP-Link EAP225-OUTDOOR. Can I use this device to create the indoor AP in my boathouse by connecting both the LAN ports of the POE adapters and configuring it as an AP?

The little pictures on the TP-LINK site shows this configuration, but I can't find any instructions on how to do it.

Help please.

Hi @SmokehouseBay,

The connection should be like Router----AP CPE)))(((Client CPE----EAP225.

One CPE should connect to the router in the main house to extend wireless signal to the other building, while the other CPE should be installed in the other building to receive the signal from the 1st CPE. As the 2nd CPE will work under client mode which means to transfer wireless signal to wired signal, so it will not broadcast wireless signal. If you need wireless signal in the other building, you need to connect another AP or wireless router after the 2nd CPE to broadcast Wi-Fi.

For more details about this application, you can refer to the link below:
