Outdoor extender options for X20

2022-04-18 22:40:37

Model: Deco X20

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.0.1 20211224

I have just replaced a Unifi network with a 3 unit X20 mesh, using Ethernet backhaul. All good so far. I have outdoor cameras - some are working fine, others have poor or no connectivity.

Is there a recommended outdoor extender I can use? I have power and ethernet available in a suitable location (previously used for the Unifi setup).

Thanks!

@Uspurs Welcome to the community.

I would recommend our business outdoor access point, such as EAP225-outdoor:

@David-TP - thanks for the response; would this extender allow the use of the same SSID? Presumably it would be managed via different software and not the Deco mobile app?

Thanks again. John

@Uspurs

It could be named as the same SSID as Deco and you are right that it needs to be managed via a different APP-Omada APP.

Since EAP-225-outdoor also has a web interface, if you have no more than 3, web UI management will be good enough.

Best regards.
