Hello,
You can mount the device on a wall. If you notice reception not being good for devices that are behind the EAP, consider mounting on the ceiling.
Yes, it comes with a passive PoE adapter that plugs inline. No need to purchase a separate unit. If installing multiple units, you may want to look at a PoE switch just to keep power bricks to a minimum. Just a suggestion from someone who owns 7 TP-Link EAP 225/245& 225-Outdoor units
The best cable for this sort of application is "direct burial" cable. Cat 6 direct burial in solid copper can be had for about $160 per 1000'. Smaller quantities spools and boxes are widely available. Keep in mind that you want RJ45 connectors that are intended for use with this type of cable, other Rj45s may not fi…

The best cable for this sort of application is "direct burial" cable. Cat 6 direct burial in solid copper can be had for about $160 per 1000'. Smaller quantities spools and boxes are widely available. Keep in mind that you want RJ45 connectors that are intended for use with this type of cable, other Rj45s may not fit. Be sure to make all fittings weatherproof (boots, RTV). Platinum is one connector source and I think you can find them here on Amazon. You may do better on the cable and connector price at a certain well known auction site, and I do recommend that you look for solid copper conductors. If the cable price is too good you better figure out why or buy something else. The cable should have a separator core to reduce crosstalk. This type of cable is somewhat stiff to work with, but it is rated for burial in the ground with or without conduit and withstands all sorts of weather and harsh conditions. Great for wiring POE cameras and the like, and no, you don't have to bury it. I haven't looked but I suspect you can probably find videos on youtube about how to work with it. Use this and have no problems going forward, or use the indoor stuff and replace it all a year later. Your choice. Hope this helps.

The EAP225-Outdoor is not a WiFi repeater; it is an outdoor WiFi Access Point and must be connected to your existing network using an Ethernet cable. Distance will vary depending on where you install the unit and what types of physical obstacles/obstructions are between it and the connecting client devices (i.e. laptop…

The EAP225-Outdoor is not a WiFi repeater; it is an outdoor WiFi Access Point and must be connected to your existing network using an Ethernet cable. Distance will vary depending on where you install the unit and what types of physical obstacles/obstructions are between it and the connecting client devices (i.e. laptops, smartphones). The durable, weatherproof enclosure protects the access point against harsh outdoor conditions and provides stable wireless coverage at a range up to 200m+ at 2.4GHz and 300m+ at 5GHz in outdoor settings.
