TP-Link Omada Long Range Outdoor Access Point - WiFi Extender Universal Compatible, WiFi 6 AX3000 Dual Band, Up to 3,500 sq.ft, PoE Powered, IP68 Weatherproof, Starlink Compatible(EAP650-Outdoor)

We have a small back yard that had poor/inconsistent wifi reception areas . My husband likes to work on his computer outside during the summer months so I wanted to extend our outdoor wifi connectivity. This extender enhanced wifi capability and stability in our back hard. I am even able to walk quite a distance from our home while staying connected to our wifi. Game changer!

I purchased one of these to increase coverage of my front yard area. Having Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is very convenient when you have to run wires through the attic and out under the eaves of the house to get to the preferred location! The coverage seems good and the software allows me to see what devices are connected to it (some other AP devices don't have this). I later purchased another one for my backyard (about 1/2 acre). It works well for most of the yard, but we do have so many trees that the signal gets a little weak in the far backyard area. Mostly, it works great! (This 2nd unit is connected to a Ethernet-over-Powerlines (EoP) adapter, in order to ge the signal to the AP device and still have it be "hardwired" to the central switch. That works well and hasn't given us any problems.

I purchased this to replace a TP-Link WAP that was 2.4 years old and slowed down to a crawl the last few weeks for some reason. I elected to purchase this new model even though the price was a lot more, since I tend to keep electronic items for a long time. The WAP in my shop is 11 years old. The install was standard and I could do everything from the browser. I do wish the device came with a static IP to make it easier, but not a big deal. I gave the "WIFI" 4 stars because I was about 100 feet from the building in an open field and the signal was average. Since this WAP is mounted high and there is nothing around this building, I thought my phone would receive a better signal (my expectation could be incorrect). With that said, the speed in the building is over 250 which is way more than I need. I believe my previous WAP was around 55. Configuration took about 7 minutes and once I rebooted the device, my 17 devices all received an IP address and started working. Very smooth install.

The TP-Link EAP650-Outdoor has been a great addition to my network. Setup was simple through the Omada controller, and the performance has been rock-solid. I'm getting excellent coverage and fast speeds even at the edges of my property—far better than older outdoor APs I've tried. The weatherproof build (IP67) gives me peace of mind, and being able to manage it remotely through the app is a huge bonus. The only thing I wish it had is PoE passthrough. I was hoping to mount a PoE security camera nearby and power it from the same line, but that’s not possible with this unit. Not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of. Overall, it's an excellent outdoor access point with all the key features for modern WiFi needs.

I wrote another review on the X50 outdoor and instead of writing it again I copied and pasted my findings here with this one and the X50 outdoor and the 225 outdoor. Saving the reading...go with the X50 outdoor! It's actually more powerful in my opinion. I have used and tested three different TP-Link outdoor units, the EAP 225 outdoor, EAP 650 Outdoor, and finally this unit the X50 Outdoor. I mounted it approximately 8 feet off the ground. The mount for the 650 will work with the X50 or vice versus. The first two are made for business use and take a little more steps to setup and do not work seamlessly with existing mesh like the XE70 Pro's I am using. First and foremost, clear line of sight is very important. Don't expect any of these to go through a metal shed wall or a thick cover of trees. No wifi will. However, with a medium tree area that you can still see the hotspot from it will work pretty good! I used the 225 for over a year and it would achieve around 150-200 mbps download out to around 100-150 yards. The 650 was another story and I used it for about 6 months now and it will give you around 200-300mbps out 250 yards and even got 50 mbps downloads out at 400 yards. These are plenty for say a wifi camera like Reolink or yes even a battery powered Ring that I tested for several months at 250 yards while only getting around 40 mbps downloads due to shurbs and limbs partially in the way. I decided to pull the trigger on the X50 outdoor as I heard it was about the same strength as the 650 outdoor according to Tplink. There isn't much info out there comparing the two. I understand the 650 has 4 antennas and the X50 only two which made me hesitate but I really wanted a seamless mesh system inside and out so I bought an X50...lets just say I was shocked. I can easily get 300 mbps out at 300 yards and even got a mere 10 mbps at 600 yards which was through a thicket of trees but I could see the hotspot barely. Once again, line of sight is important so don't mount a camera or stand inline with a bunch of trees/tree trunks and expect to get great signal. I did get 100-150 out at 400 yards through some light tree branches though. If mounting a camera, I found the camera better have a good antenna on it because while the S24 Ultra can get great signal at say 400 yards, the new battery power Wyze V3 cannot. I haven't tested the other cameras at that distance but I'm willing to bet the old Reolink Go Plus with external antenna probably will be fine. So if considering any of the three outdoor units above...don't hesitate on the X50 outdoor! Great price at $119. I do have all my units hardwired and is the only way to go in my opinion. I tried using the 225 and 650 to send wifi signals to the other where one was wired and the other about 100 yards away and the drop in download speeds were very poor. I was hoping to boost the signal even farther across property but the signal loss to the hotspot 100 yards away was so bad it was useless to use and I acheived much better speeds from the wired one. You can assign devices to each unit or allow them to roam. If its a static device like a camera/TV/laptop that is not wired then I will assign it to the unit it's closest too or gets the best signal from. Most of the time the TPlink software does a pretty good job itself though. Hope this helps as there wasn't much info on comparisons between these units.

Great solid built, much cheaper than the alternatives out there. Set up was easy, speeds are as advertised, looks good on my metal pole. Signal strength increased using this over the older version. Highly recommend

Excellent product

I have spent a large amount of money on TP Link products and they are consistently terrible This is the most useless of the group I have a ring camera on a building that is 125’ direct line of sight to this and there is zero connection This garbage is hardwired into my BE10000 deco who’s is hard wired from my business fiber and I have never had such unreliable spotty wifi ever it looks like all this TP crap is a hard expensive lesson as it will all end up in the trash as I waited too long to install it. TP Linik is import get ahold of to speak to an English speaker Go with literally any other brand

Set up was a little confusing reading the directions. But after installing the app and following step-by-step, it was easy to figure out. The AX 3000 EPA 650 outdoor once installed works amazing. My outdoor Wi-Fi went from 25 MB to over 700 MB. After it was all connected. Make sure to do your research to see if this will work for you. It is a good product and provides great wifi signal where needed. I noticed that any trees or other obstructions very quickly reduce the signal. So make sure you place it in an area that will offer the best coverage.

Me han endulzado la vida literalmente. Gracias por hacerme llegar el punto de acceso Eap650-outdoor. Con este equipo tengo planeado llevar el internet por wifi a una distancia muy considerable de mi casa, calculo 100 mts. Pronto actualizaré está publicación para hacer una reseña más extensa y algunas fotos de la implementación.

Good

Wow, exceptional Range and speed
