Recently purchased a TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor version, which came with version 3 of the hardware. Reading some post of this forum more or less i understood that before installing i have to run via ssh a command "cliclientd stopcs" which answers me "Success.". But when i go and try to update the firmware with versions found on wiki page it says "upgrade failed because the firmware is incompatible. Please check the firmware file". I tried with firmware versions 5.0.7 (which came out of the box) and 5.0.6. And openwrt versions "openwrt-21.02.0-ath79-generic-tplink_eap225-v3-squashfs-factory" and "openwrt-21.02.3-ath79-generic-tplink_eap225-v3-squashfs-factory", same result.
Here are the questions: ¿is this AP really openwrt supported? ¿which firmware version? ¿am i updating the wrong way?
Do you know what chip set is in the Outdoor V3? If it is the same chips and memory sizes as one of the other model versions, it might run builds for that version. And it could just be a matter of modifying the header of the "factory" file so the V3 stock firmware will accept it.
The thing is that I would be little more hopeful if they actually had the same physical form and size.
The ceiling version is a TP-link standard square wave box, and on the eap245 the PCB is pretty much the same size as the box.
But the 225 outdoor is a small diameter tube!?
So we know for a fact the hardware have really heavy differences in design, the question is what differences.
