EAP110 wireless compatibility issue)

Following on from here http://forum.tp-link.com/showthread.php?100353-Gated-Community-Wifi-for-CCTV-and-hotspot - I have run into a really weird issue that I have never seen or heard of before

The last mile connectivity is between EAP110 and a set of Hikvision wireless cameras (2CD2020F-iW)
For some odd reason, the link between EAP110 and the camera just refuses to work as expected.. While the camera does connect to the EAP110, the connection is completely unusable with over 80% packet loss even on ping

What's weird is that the same Hikivision cameras are happy to connect to multiple other access points I tried on my test bed (Netgear R7000/Linksys WRT54G/TP-Link Archer C7/Xiaomi Router) with a stable throughput

Similarly, every other client I tried with the EAP110 seems to work without fuss (surface laptop/Macbook/couple of iphones/android phones and even a Dahua IPC wireless camera)

It's just that the two of them refuse to share a stable connection even when placed next to each other

As a last resort, I tried connecting the Hikvision camera wired to an old TP-Link MR3020 in client mode (connected to the EAP110) and EVEN that works fine!

However the EAP110 and the camera just won't work together - I tried all possible encryption combinations and even an unsecured connection but the two just won't play along

I have a total of 10 cameras and 4 EAP110s lying with me now.
Short of ordering 10X client mode devices and IP66 boxes to house them in harsh outdoor conditions (and the associated wiring paraphernalia) , is there any other thing I should try?

The first pair is working at a consistent 20 mbps in and 15 mbps out without dropping a sweat over the last 1 week

In a few days, we have the annual event where we use CPE510 over 600m to supply Internet to a remote location. Last year we could reach ~65 mbps, maybe this year we can improve it even further.

Given the fairly high noise floor in that band, the 220 outperforms the 110 by miles - (although I guess the directional nature of the antenna helps the 220)

Definitely. The directional antennas of a CPE bundles radiation to 60° (CPE210), resp. 45° (CPE510), which leads to a massive RF energy boost in this relatively small direction. The EAP110-Outdoor has to distribute the same RF energy over 360°, so it clearly can't reach the CPE210's performance. But to give you a figure to what extend noise can lead: given the fact that there are about ~120 APs discovered by the CPE210 on our 600m link, it did achieve 3-4 mbps only on the very same directional link mentioned above (CPE220 is not sold in the EU, it has much more TX power than allowed here).
