Omada EAP245 Map and Seperate SSID

[lardo5150]

So looking at Rate and Signal, the three that I have been concerned about, in this order are:



My Wife's laptop in the office.

Nest Camera 2 (corner of house)

Nest Camera 1 (right outside her office at front door)



Wife's laptop Rate is currently connected to the Garage AP as it should be, on 5ghz, 866Mbps Rate and RSSI -64



Nest Camera 2 that has not shown any issues since firmware upgrade, on Garage AP, on 5ghz, 150Mbps and RSSi -72



Nest Cmara 2 on garage AP, 5ghz, 150Mbps RSSI -68



Brainstorming here, I COULD put the AP, in one of two spots.



I could jump move it up closer to the corner of the garage (in the pic below).

Or I could put it IN the ceiling, above the hallway. It would be in the ceiling though, sitting on top of drywayll. Would need to figure out a way to have it sit up there without the insulation laying on it. Maybe just hang it in the crawl space that is between the garage and hallway where I have access, angle towards the office? Then install the eap225-outdoor somewhere close to the garage door?

EDIT(Update): For whatever reason, i never noticed this.

In the pantry, there is an RJ45 jack. For some reason i always thought it was just a normal phone line.

In my main box in the master bedroom, that wire is a cat5e green wire (my network wires are blue so i always assumed it was a teleco wire).

Couldn't I just cut that wire there in the pantry, rewire it for an RJ45 at both ends (the end I cut in the picture below was already wired for RJ45), and throw an EAP225-Wall there?

That would cover my wife's office, and I could move the EAP245 in the garage closer to the garage door for my cameras?

Certainly, and sounds like a pretty good plan. Do note, the EAP225-Wall is 100Mb/s Fast Ethernet backhaul, but that should be plenty fast enough for any normal internet traffic.

So update, I have all my APs installed.

You can see the AP in my garage, I have blue dots where I tried installing. No matter where I put it, I would either have problems with the Nest camera by the front door, or nest camera problems by the side of the house (both are marked in red).

I finally settled on its current spot, but am still having issues.



I have all AP setup by default. I have the one in the living room set to medium tx and the other two are low.

Couple of things I have noticed. A few clients will connect to an AP further away, even though the one closer to it has a better signal.

I have found that my wife's laptop would connect to the AP upstairs, even though the AP in the office is right there.

Quick not on that AP, it is on the wall like in that picture, but WALL MOUNTED, facing the front of the house.

I do have fast roaming turned on.

The other problem areas are my three Nest Cameras. I have not tried 2ghz, as I wanted to connect them on 5. But I keep having issues. Mostly the one by the garage, even though the RSSI is low on all three.



Nest Cam by the pool in back of the house

Nest Cam1 and 2 at the front of the house. The position I have it set at gives me the same RSSI but different mbps

Any suggestions on the roaming or how to resolve my nest camera 5ghz signal thing?



Should I add an outdoor AP or something?
