Tips on the right tp link omada accessories needed to solve my probl

Model: EAP225-Outdoor  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

I stay in a remote area in Africa , where the closest cell tower is far away, and internet connection is significantly poor and slow. I try to use Tp link omada accessories to kinda start an ISP of mine to solve the internet connection issue.

 

But there's a problem i am facing, the residents who cannot afford an EAP , i cant reach them to solve their issue, and i wish to know since Omada TP link has a wide range of devices is there any other device like a small router which i can get for them , that can also still be regulated using the Omada controller in terms of voucher code, password , mobile data regulation?? 
 

Note i already have several EAPs mounted , a few switches and one Gigabit router connected.

Hello.  Are you using the EAP's meshing ability?  I have done a number of outdoor 'area coverage' solutions using the EAP225-outdoor, which can be spaced at least 200' apart as long as they have clear line of site.  The advantage of the meshed outdoor APs is that they are standalone units that provide local wifi coverage and wireless backhaul of that traffic.  Typically I wouldn't recommend going more than about 3 wireless hops, so

 

Your ISP HQ==WiredAP - - - - - - 1st Wireless AP - - - - - - 2nd Wireless AP - - - - - - 3rd Wireless AP

 

That expands your coverage by say 200' x 3, plus maybe another 100' in local wifi coverage off the 3rd AP...so up to 700' away.  Note that the wireless backhaul is done on the 5.8G radio.

 

Beyond that you will want to use wireless point-point bridges, like the CPE710 or more recently the Omada manageable EAP215BRG pair to go to a point 1500' away and create a new WiredAP site there.

 

If you have an aerial map of the site/area with scale, we can perhaps make more accurate recommendations.
