I had also bought recently TP-link CPE210, EAP110 and EAP225 for testing and then deploying them a sub urban area in the mountains. Both EAP110 and EAP225 are outdoor AP(Access Point) but their is only few hundreds. EAP110 which is 2.4GHz AP for wifi access and is said to pick up signal upto 200m and EAP225 which is both 2.4GHz and 5GHz or dual band outdoor AP which is said to work upto 200m with 2.4GHz and upto 300m with 5GHz AP. Overall EAP225 is more advanced than the EAP110 but EAP225 is more expensive than EAP110.
The picture below shows EAP110 and EAP225 installed on my office balcony.
Since the EAP110 and EAP225 are installed on top of a high building, the signal does not reach far to homes to check their performance at large distance. I tried to connect to EAP110 and EAP225 from far more than 300m with CPE510 and I was not able communicate. I wrote about same problem why this is so in my previous note why Archer C20 cannot extend CPE510 WiFi on 5GHz.
I have plan to test the EAP225 as WISP AP in my neighborhood installing it on the rooftop of my house. It is 2 and half floor house while the office building where my office is 11 floor.
