Outdoor AP

bbradley01 — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 02:38:31 GMT

Looking to add an outdoor AP to my existing Ruckus switch and 2 indoor APs from Lennar. Do I need to use a ruckus outdoor AP to keep all APs on the same WIFI network? If so, does Ruckus make an outdoor AP for backyards. All I see are ones made for airports and bars and trains that are like 3-4 thousand dollars. Thanks!

I’m looking to do the same thing. Did you have any luck with this? If so, what model of outdoor AP did you use and how difficult was it to add it?

I actually found a T300 on eBay, purchased it and was able to install it. Took me a while to figure it all out but I had to rollback the firmware on my indoor APs to match the t300’s. But I got it all to work.

Thank you for the response. I had posted this same question back in the spring and never got a response. Did you down grade firmware to match the T300 and then upgrade all the APs to the newest firmware? I’ve read that all the APs have to be on the same firmware for them to work.
