I'm glad I choose this as an access point

WOW, I'm glad I choose this as an access point. Ran an cable from router to the power device included. Ran a cable from the power device to this antenna included. Mounted antenna on my porch peak. I'm getting internet 700 feet away! Can stream YouTube without lag to about 400 feet away. The area around my home has trees, fields and somewhat flat terrain. Please note that this is with my "old" cell phone. Laptop does a little better!

Works great, and a good value

I bought two of these devices, and I'm not being reimbursed or paid in any way for this review. I already have a pretty capable mesh WIFI network in place at our (large) house for our phones and mobile devices. A mesh means they all have the same SSID and password, so a device connects to whichever one is strongest once you come into range. But I recently installed a bunch of IP security cameras, and about 2/3 of them are wirelessly connected to my network. I did not want that traffic on my existing wifi network, for reasons I won't go into here. But the point is that these APs were for connecting 8 security cameras, some of them outside and a fair distance from the house! I needed two because half the cameras are on one side of the house, and the rest are on the other...No AP would have worked for all of them. Anyway, these TP-Link APs worked perfectly! They've been in place for about two months now, and they've been rock solid. One is being powered using the injector, the other is powered from a POE hub in my garage, and they both work equally well. The signal strength between these and the cameras is much stronger than the older AP I used to initially connect my cameras. I like the long, slim shape, the ability to mount them to a mast, and the adjustable antennas. The only caveat I'd include, when recommending these APs to someone, is that you cannot combine two or more of them into a mesh! So, if you're using them for mobile devices, and you want to cover a large area (like a big house, or separate buildings) with a single SSID/Password, these aren't a good choice. I knew that before I bought them! But in my case, the IP cameras are fixed in place, and they don't need the ability to connect to more than one AP...so I didn't need that feature. But, if you have a small house, or only need to accommodate an area that can be covered with a single AP, these units are an excellent value. They provide a lot of mounting options (mast, wall, vertical or horizontal, POE makes power requirements a non-issue). They have external antennas you can tweak for maximum performance, and they're inexpensive! I've installed a lot of APs (I've been in IT for 20 years, and have managed some pretty large networks). I'm impressed with these units...in fact, with ALL the TP-Link gear I've used...it performs as well as or better than equipment costing many times more. I can't say how it will hold up in the long term, but my initial impression is that it's quality gear and will continue to work well for a long time!

All that you need (except cat 5 cable) is in the box. I now own two.

Simple, elegant design. Good range. All stuff you need is in the box.Just add cat-5/6 cables. Setup is easy. Just plug into your network I own two. My first one was supposed to go outside, but it worked better than my preexisting inside access point, so I left the first one inside (it looks nice), and bought another for outside. I haven't set up the second one for outside because it is now cold and the signal from the first one is covering more of my outside space than the one I had before. No one gives me free stuff....

Huge boost for video streaming!

Great radio! Increased the speed and signal for my home/business network. I use it inside, but its neat to know it can operate outside as well. It's not easy to find an AP with with this much power and detachable antennas. Most MU-MIMO devices have internal antennas or non-detachable antennas. It is great for multi-user streaming, including both downloading high bitrate video streams, and uploading high bitrate video stream simultaneously to YouTube /Twitch/Psynaps Super Stream System. I was looking for a solution to streaming RTMP to Twitch and custom RTMP servers over WiFi. This hit the spot, where my previous WAPs failed. The people giving this less than 5 stars (at the time of my review) are a bit fickle imo, they may have overlooked the price to performance ratio. Even products priced 2-4x as much lack the power of this WAP. I would recommend this product over most any of the indoor APs because it gives you more control of your radio landscape, especially where there are many other radios (residential neighborhood). Hope this helps. Cheers from Psynaps.

Very fast 5Gz wifi.

Since I already had the TP-Link EAP110 Outdoor installed along with the access point software, it was very simple to set up the new EAP225 Outdoor. I chose the EAP225 Outdoor because the specs state that the operating temperature can go to 158 degrees F and it will be in an attic. The EAP110 outdoor has worked flawlessly in the attic for a year. With the new EAP225 I am getting 350 mbps on 5Gz at about 50 ft from the AP. That is with a wired connection router speed of 480 mbps. The EAP225 also broadcasts in 2.4 Gz. Bottom line is once you master the AP software from TP-Link, these AP's work very well.

Great speed and range, easy setup from a PC.

Another great product from TP-Link. I upgraded to a gigabit modem, so decided to replace my aging but functional 2.4ghz TP-Link outdoor AP that maxxed out at ~10Mbps with this one. Installation was a breeze, mainly because it was simply a matter of unplugging the old antenna and plugging in the new one. OK... I used the new PoE injector, but the old one would have been fine. This antenna is much sleeker - maybe one-third the size of the old one - so it looks better outside my basement slider aside from the obvious performance gain. With both antennas straight up I'm seeing 48db at 150' with 500 mbps downloads on my Pixel 3. That's about 50X what I had before, and much more than I need. A nice side effect of the omnidirectional antennas versus the directional one I had is greatly improved coverage in the basement of my raised ranch, where I have the main router upstairs. VoIP calls are greatly improved, too. If it holds up as well as the one it replaced it should easily get out-teched before breaking.

Easy setup and excellent coverage!

I needed outdoor wifi coverage around our patio, backyard, and garage. I mounted this unit on a short pole just above the roof line of the house, and connected with outdoor Cat5e cable and grounded per the instructions. Setup was easily accomplished by connecting to the IP address of the device. The units own browser based setup screens are easy to navigate. All I needed to do was change the default password, and select my SSID and password. Everything else was left at default. I'm very impressed with the range, good solid coverage around the entire 1 acre yard. Completely trouble-free so far. Highly recommended.

Works great!

In use for 3 months. I had installed 300' of conduit from house to shop with Cat6a ethernet cable (shielded and underground rated) for internet access, but after having to replace it 3 times over a few years because from what I can assume was lightening knocking out the line I finally broke down and looked into wireless bridging. I wish I had looked into this at the start! I have this mounted on the backside of the house with an additional access point mounted in the shop to pick up the signal and work as a spacial wifi system in the shop. The shop is a little less than 300ft distance from this unit with aluminum siding. I am able to pick up a very stable signal and run video streaming and even PS4 gaming over the connection. My home internet is a rural broadband maybe 7-9mbs max, I run speed tests every so often and usually am showing 4-6mbs through the system. An extra benefit is being able to have a widespread wifi area around the yard (2.4 and 5ghz bands). Side note to new wifi home system users: PLEASE CHANGE AND UPDATE PASSWORDS FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT AND WIFI ACCESS. Do not leave your router configure settings the default password, that will make yourself vulnerable to surrounding users who could then create their own connections to your system.

Great for creating an outdoor Wifi signal for my Ring security cameras!

Ring will try to sell you the chime wifi boosters, but that does you no good if your camera is 40 ft away from the inside of your house. Our camera faces the driveway of our detached garage and was too far away for the ring camera to do anything useful. I bought this and it was pretty easy to set up. I ran an ethernet cable from the router to the TP link AP switch box (comes in the box with this EAP). Then I ran an ethernet cable through my window. I was able to shut the window around the cable because it was flat. Then I mounted this on the side of the house that faces the garage. The set up is a little confusing, the directions that come with the box don't explain what to do on the website. I followed their youtube video from their support site, then I was up and running. My garage is about 30 ft away from the router and I still get great coverage. The wifi is strong enough that my Ring camera can support a live feed with little delay. I am definetly recommending this to anyone who needs an outdoor wifi network for security cameras

I can go all the way to the edge of our 1/2 acre and get a great signal. I don't need to move the device ...

I don't do many online reviews. I do buy a lot of production online, but never get around to writing reviews. I'm taking the time because I am VERY impressed with this range extender. I installed it. I do have to say that it was not intuitive as to how to begin the installation, but once I figured that out, it was very simple to complete it. I set the device up inside the house to test it with the intention of getting a longer Cat5 cable later and determining where I should place it outside the house. I hoped that I would be able to set up it close to the ethernet jack in our second-floor bedroom and run the cable directly out the back wall. I placed it on the top of the shelf in the bedroom closet and when I set up the software it came online immediately. I took my cell phone around the house to test for signal strength. I walked all around the second floor and the signal was 100%. I walked outside the back of the house and it was at about 75% as I approached the property line (75 feet). I walked up to the pool (100 feet from the house) and the signal strength was still at 75%. I can go all the way to the edge of our 1/2 acre and get a great signal. I don't need to move the device from where it sits on the closet shelf! I don't have to drill a hole in the outside wall and worry about whether or the power cable, or Cat5 cable showing on the outside wall. AMAZING. I highly recommend this product! The only concern I have now is making sure I have a good password that my neighbors can hack into.
