Outdoor access point

ohhhsnap17 · May 30, 2022

My home is all cinder block. And wifi doesn't do well extending outdoors to my deck and pool area. I plan to run cat5e cable. And was looking for a good access point to set up outdoors as indoor ones can not penetrate the walls to give me a solid enough signal. But I have seen so many options on Amazon and such I have no idea what to go with. I don't need a ton of range. Maybe 50-100ft Max. Would be mainly pointing in one direction. Any advice on what I should go with. Not trying to break the bank either.

Also would prefer wifi 6. But not necessary. Just want to be able to connect to stream music and such.

Could go with either of those:

Since you're only streaming, perhaps the EAP110 Outdoor would be enough. Except if you're going higher than 300 Mbps, probably get either the EAP225 or the one from Ubiquiti.

Well, if you want WIFI 6 don't expect it to not break your bank.
