WiFi is always necessary in outdoor environments, whether when you have a party or work at your garden, or connect outdoor cameras or speakers. The routers or access points installed indoors cannot provide smooth WiFi experience for outdoors due to limited coverage and signal attenuation. Installing outdoor access points is the common way to provide outdoor WiFi.
TP-Link Omada outdoor access points offer smooth WiFi experience even in harsh outdoor environments, ideal for the use in garden, yard, outdoor swimming pool, outdoor café, outdoor barns and shed, connecting outdoor IP cameras, outdoor speakers, and more devices.

What Do You Need to Consider When Deploy Outdoor WiFi?
- Outdoor Environment. Outdoor environment is always the first thing to consider, as it’s easy to corrode or fail to work for common access points or routers in the harsh outdoor environments.
- Coverage. The devices need to provide WiFi for all the areas you need.
- Installation Method. Easy installation is necessary, especially that PoE is required to transmit data and power through a single Ethernet cable.
- Management. Centralized management greatly benefits the maintenance if you need to deploy multiple access points.
- WiFi Speed. Smooth WiFi without buffering is important, even when dozens of clients connect to the network.
Typical Outdoor WiFi Solution
Want to deploy an outdoor WiFi network to have an outdoor party, work outside the house, or connect the outdoor cameras or speakers? TP-Link Omada outdoor access points provide fast and stable outdoor WiFi, and are well suitable for all kinds of home and business outdoor scenarios.
1. Outdoor WiFi for Home Scenarios
Yard/ Garden/ Home Swimming Pool/ Shed/ Barns/ and More
For small office and home office scenarios, generally one outdoor access point is deployed to connect the wireless cameras, phones, tablets, and laptops. With the included passive PoE adapter, connect the Omada access point with your existing router, to provide data and power simultaneously using a single Ethernet cable.
2. Outdoor WiFi for Business Scenarios
Medium and Big Outdoor Swimming Pool/ Outdoor Café/ Outdoor Parking/ Parks/ Amusement Park/ Outdoor Amphitheatre/ and more
For small and medium business scenarios, generally several outdoor access points are deployed for dozens of clients and large open areas. With the PoE switch or included passive PoE adapter, connect the Omada access point with a single Ethernet cable. Should certain access points are inconvenient to be connected to LAN ports, use Omada Mesh technology to wirelessly connect the access points without additional cables.
