Outdoor Wi-Fi for yards and pools.
AC1200, IP65, one PoE cable.

The EAP225-Outdoor is a slim dual-band Omada access point for outside areas: 867 Mbps on 5 GHz plus 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, two detachable omni antennas, and an IP65 housing that mounts on a wall or pole.

In one sentence: the TP-Link Omada EAP225-Outdoor is an IP65 indoor/outdoor AC1200 Wi-Fi 5 access point with 2x2 MU-MIMO, two detachable omni antennas, one Gigabit port powered by 802.3af or 24 V passive PoE, and wall or pole mounting.

Access point with its own PoE adapter. Cable and switch are separate.

This listing is one EAP225-Outdoor. TP-Link includes a 24 V passive PoE adapter, which is for dry indoor use only. You can power it from an 802.3af PoE switch port instead.

You also need

Outdoor-rated Cat5e or Cat6 cable to the access point
An 802.3af PoE switch port, or a dry indoor spot for the included adapter
An Omada controller or the Omada app to manage it

Wi-Fi where the house signal runs out.

TP-Link quotes up to 200 m on 2.4 GHz and 300 m on 5 GHz in lab testing. The IP65 housing is dust-tight and handles rain, it runs from −30 °C to 70 °C, and it has ±6 kV surge protection on the network side. Real range depends on trees, walls and the devices connecting.

Port bay

One cable for data and power.

The single Gigabit port sits under a cover at the bottom, with the reset button beside it. The waterproof rubber insert seals the cable entry once the cover goes back on.

Back

Wall or pole, kit in the box.

The back carries the mounting slot for the included wall and pole kit. The body is 214.9 × 46 × 26.7 mm without antennas and weighs 0.17 kg, so it suits a fascia, post or mast.

How it goes in

From pole to Wi-Fi.

Pick the spot

Choose a wall or pole with a clear view of the area to cover, with the antennas pointing up.

Run the cable

Run outdoor-rated Cat5e or Cat6 from an 802.3af PoE switch port, or from the included passive PoE adapter kept indoors.

Mount and seal

Fit the wall or pole kit, screw on both antennas, plug in the cable and refit the cover with the rubber insert.

Adopt it in Omada

Adopt it in an Omada controller or the Omada app, or set it up on its own, then create your Wi-Fi networks.

Pair it with

What this access point does not include

Power

A PoE switch for more than one

The included adapter powers one unit. For several Omada access points, the TP-Link DS105GP (4 PoE+ ports) or DS108GP (8 PoE+ ports) runs them all from one box.

Cabling

Outdoor-rated network cable

UV-stable Cat5e or Cat6 for the run outside, within the usual 100 m Ethernet limit. Pre-made Cat6 leads suit short indoor runs.

Indoors

Ceiling or wall-plate access points

Pair it with an Omada ceiling access point such as the EAP613 or EAP653 UR so phones roam between inside and outside.

Management

An Omada controller

Mesh, seamless roaming and captive portal need an Omada controller: cloud, software or hardware. The Omada app works for small sites.

Where it is used

Where an outdoor AP like this fits.

Backyards and pools

Wi-Fi out to the pool, deck and back fence of a house.

Caravan and holiday parks

Guest Wi-Fi across sites and amenities blocks.

Farm sheds and yards

Coverage around sheds and yards near the homestead.

Schools and sports grounds

Courtyards, ovals and walkways between buildings.

Cafes and beer gardens

Outdoor dining with a separate guest network.

Workshops and depots

Tablets and scanners in the yard outside the workshop.

Common questions

Can the EAP225-Outdoor go outside?

Yes. It has an IP65 weatherproof housing, ±6 kV surge protection and runs from −30 °C to 70 °C.

How fast is it?

Up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz (AC1200 Wi-Fi 5). Real throughput is lower and depends on the site and the devices.

How far does it reach?

TP-Link quotes up to 200 m on 2.4 GHz and 300 m on 5 GHz in lab testing. Trees, walls and interference shorten that.

How is it powered?

Over the network cable: 802.3af PoE from a switch, or 24 V passive PoE from the adapter in the box. It draws up to 10.5 W.

Can the included PoE adapter go outside?

No. TP-Link says the passive PoE adapter is for dry indoor use only. Keep it inside and run the cable out to the access point.

Is it Wi-Fi 6?

No. It is Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). For Wi-Fi 6 outdoors, look at the EAP668-Outdoor HD.

Can I mount it on a pole?

Yes. The mounting kit in the box suits a wall or a pole.

Are the antennas removable?

Yes. It has two external detachable dual-band omni antennas: 3 dBi on 2.4 GHz and 5 dBi on 5 GHz.

Do I need an Omada controller?

Not to get it running: it can be set up on its own or with the Omada app. Mesh, seamless roaming and captive portal need an Omada controller (V6.2 and above).

How many devices can connect?

TP-Link lists up to 228 associated clients across up to 16 SSIDs, 8 per band.

Does it support WPA3?

WPA3 is not listed on the EAP225-Outdoor V3.20 datasheet. It supports WPA/WPA2-Personal, Enhanced Open and 802.1X.

Who can install the cable?

Concealed and outdoor data cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and needs an ACMA-registered cabler.

Installation and safety

Low-voltage device. Powered over the data cable by 802.3af PoE or 24 V passive PoE, up to 10.5 W. The included adapter plugs into mains power and must stay indoors and dry.

Cabling. Outdoor and concealed data cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and needs an ACMA-registered cabler. Use outdoor-rated cable and the rubber insert to seal the entry.

Lightning and earthing. The ±6 kV surge rating depends on a proper install with earthing and shielded cabling. Ask us about exposed masts.

What it does not do. No Wi-Fi 6, no WPA3 listed, no 2.5G port, and the passive PoE adapter is not weatherproof.

Figures. From TP-Link's EAP225-Outdoor V3.20 datasheet and TP-Link's outdoor access point datasheet. Range and speed depend on the site.
