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