TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor - Omada AC1200 Wireless Gigabit Outdoor Access Point

Experience enterprise-grade wireless connectivity with the TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor, a premier Omada AC1200 Wireless Gigabit Outdoor Access Point engineered for outdoor and high-density environments. Built for reliability in harsh weather and designed to scale with your growing network, this access point delivers fast dual-band performance, robust security, and seamless management through the Omada ecosystem. Whether you’re outfitting a university campus, outdoor shopping district, hotel courtyard, stadium, or large office campus, the EAP225-Outdoor provides consistent coverage, easy installation, and centralized control that simplifies network operations while enhancing user experiences.

• High-density dual-band performance: The EAP225-Outdoor delivers AC1200-class performance (up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz) to support dense device environments. With MU-MIMO and beamforming, it efficiently serves multiple clients simultaneously, reduces interference, and improves overall network capacity, making it ideal for crowded outdoor plazas, campuses, and event spaces.
• Omada SDN-ready for centralized management: Manage this AP alongside other Omada devices from a single controller—whether on-site, in the cloud, or via a centralized data center. Features like zero-touch provisioning, centralized guest access, SSID segmentation, VLAN support, and roaming optimization help keep your network consistent across dozens or hundreds of APs without the complexity of traditional setups.
• Rugged outdoor design for all-weather performance: Engineered for outdoor deployment, the EAP225-Outdoor features a weatherproof enclosure that stands up to sun, rain, and wind. Its flexible mounting options (wall or ceiling) and compact form factor enable discreet installation on building exteriors, overhangs, or utility poles while maintaining aesthetic integrity and reliable signal reach.
• Advanced security and guest access features: Built with enterprise-grade security in mind, this AP supports WPA2-Enterprise, WPA2-PSK, and secure guest access with captive portal capabilities. VLAN tagging, guest network isolation, and robust rogue AP detection help protect your network while delivering a secure, seamless experience for visitors and employees alike.
• Easy installation with PoE and scalable design: Powered via 802.3af PoE (or compatible 24V passive PoE), the EAP225-Outdoor minimizes wiring and simplifies deployment in remote or hard-to-reach locations. Its scalable architecture makes it simple to grow your network, add more APs, and maintain consistent performance as user demand expands—perfect for phased outdoor rollouts or campus-wide expansions.

How to install TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor

• Plan your installation by mapping coverage needs and potential interference sources. Place the AP in a location that provides a balance between coverage area and signal strength, prioritizing high-traffic zones and rule-out zones with deep shadowing or dense obstructions.
• Mount the EAP225-Outdoor on a sturdy outdoor surface using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the enclosure is protected from direct exposure to extreme weather conditions whenever possible, and verify proper cable routing to minimize environmental wear.
• Connect the AP to a PoE-capable switch or injector using an outdoor-rated Ethernet cable. Power is supplied through 802.3af PoE for streamlined installation and reduced wiring complexity. If using PoE+, ensure compatibility with your switch or injector.
• Adopt the AP in the Omada Controller (on-premises or Cloud). Using zero-touch provisioning, the AP will appear in the controller’s device list and auto-configure according to your defined site, SSIDs, and security policies.
• Configure SSIDs, security (WPA2-Enterprise or WPA2-PSK), captive portal settings, and VLAN assignments as needed. Enable features such as band steering, load balancing, and Airtime Fairness to optimize performance for mixed-device environments.
• Test coverage and performance across the outdoor area. Fine-tune channel selection, transmit power, and encompass roaming rules to ensure seamless handoffs as users move through the space. Document the deployment for future expansion and maintenance.
