I’m looking at buying a couple of EAP 225s to provide outdoor coverage for two houuses about 15 meters apart - But I haven’t been able to confirm how much memory or The CPU it uses to determine if it would meet my needs. I’m looking to run a few Wireguard connections to route traffic through some other gateways as well as proving WAN access for approx five people. Would want to provide captive portals for visitors and some age related content filtering of Internet access for selected devices.

TP link is more meant for omada control, isnt it (like unifi, but by tp link and a bit cheaper).
Mikrotik do outdoor APs, 4 core 32 bit arm w/ 128mb ram ( https://mikrotik.com/product/wap_ac )
Probably not enough to run captive portals, content filtering, wireguard etc. tho.Wouldnt you be better centralising that onto something designed to do it?
Seems like something more for opnsense (or a central openWRT, seeing as thats the community) on a fanless server, a few managed switches and a few APsIm trying to keep on site install as simple as possible to provide simple battery UPS and minimise site visits as its very (think other side of the world) far away. My idea was to try to pack everything into one unit. (Plus a Starlink uplink).
It should be fine.
Do you know what the specs are for the unit? Just to compare.
It looks like there there are likely multiple variations of the device. However I have a indoor TP-Link AP and it works pretty well.
Ah yeah Im looking at the outdoor version. Does it have the same cpu/memory? Looks like its about €75
What do you use the AP for?
I use it for WiFi access. Mine has 1gb of ram but it is not used heavily
My upstream router has 128mb of ram and it idles in around 50mb
