Built for Any Weather: Your Outdoor WiFi Access Point
No more weak WiFi in the garden or on the terrace. The TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor was specially designed for demanding outdoor use. Its IP65 certified housing is completely dustproof and protected against strong jets of water from any direction. Whether scorching heat in summer or icy cold in winter – with an operating temperature range of -30 °C to 70 °C and integrated lightning and ESD protection, this Access Point delivers reliable performance at all times.
Strong Performance and Long Range Thanks to Professional Technology
Inside the EAP225-Outdoor, powerful hardware works to provide you with fast and stable AC1200 WiFi. With speeds of up to 867 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band, HD streaming, online gaming, and fast downloads are no problem. Thanks to 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO, Beamforming, and detachable high-performance Antennas, the signal is directed precisely to your devices, which significantly improves the efficiency and range of your Network.
Centrally Managed with TP-Link Omada SDN
The EAP225-Outdoor is more than just a single Access Point; it is part of the intelligent TP-Link Omada SDN (Software Defined Networking) ecosystem. Manage your entire Network – including Access Points, Switches, and Gateways – via a single, intuitive interface. Whether via a local hardware controller, a software controller on your PC, or conveniently via the cloud: you have full control at all times. Features such as seamless roaming and Omada Mesh technology ensure seamless connectivity throughout your property, without manual reconnection.
Easy Installation with Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Forget searching for an outdoor power outlet. The EAP225-Outdoor supports both the common 802.3af PoE standard and passive 24V PoE. This means that power and data are transmitted via a single Ethernet Cable. A suitable passive PoE Injectors / Power Supplies is already included in the scope of delivery, which greatly simplifies installation. With the included mounting kits, you can flexibly attach the Access Point to a wall or a pole – exactly where you need the best signal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the actual range of the TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor?
Under optimal conditions with a clear line of sight, the EAP225-Outdoor achieves a range of up to 200 meters in the 2.4 GHz frequency band and up to 300 meters in the 5 GHz band. In practice, the range is affected by obstacles such as walls, trees, and other radio interferences.
Can I operate the EAP225-Outdoor without an Omada Controller?
Yes, the Access Point can be operated in standalone mode and configured via its own web interface. However, for advanced functions such as central management, seamless roaming, and mesh networks, an Omada Controller is required.
Does the EAP225-Outdoor support Mesh technology?
Yes, the EAP225-Outdoor supports Omada Mesh technology. This allows for establishing a wireless connection to other Omada Mesh-enabled Access Points to flexibly extend WiFi coverage without the need for Ethernet Cabling for each AP.
How is the EAP225-Outdoor powered? Do I need an outdoor power outlet?
No, an outdoor power outlet is not required. The Access Point is powered via the Ethernet Cable (Power over Ethernet). It supports both the 802.3af PoE standard and passive 24V PoE. A suitable PoE Injector is included in the delivery.
Is the EAP225-Outdoor compatible with Wi-Fi 6 devices?
Yes, the Access Point is fully backward compatible. Wi-Fi 6 enabled devices can easily connect to the EAP225-Outdoor, but will then use the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard and its maximum speeds. The specific advantages of Wi-Fi 6 are not utilized.
Is the EAP225-Outdoor also suitable for indoor use?
Yes, although it is primarily designed for outdoor use, its slim design allows it to be easily used indoors in warehouses, workshops, or larger event venues.
