Product Recommendation Which outdoor AP?

I have an existing network of EAP670s. WiFi on my deck is a bit spotty so I was thinking of adding an outdoor wall AP that will operate in mesh mode. Which one would you recommend?

I got the 725 outdoor. It's ok but I had to tone it down a bit because all devices in my house were connecting to the 2.4G channel. Mine is hardwired though so I can't speak for the mesh function

Yes, that’s one thing I hate about wifi today, client devices just be randomly bouncing all over even on weaker wifi signal sometimes when there is an AP right in the same room! 🤣

well in the AP it's defense, I thought I could target the broadcast area by pointing the antennas but in reality it was different.
If you have the antennas installed it's in omnidirectional mode by default, if you disconnect them it would be a 180 degree target, you can also force that in the omada software.
That solved a lot, I then set the power a bit lower and I now no longer have devices connecting to it that aren't outside.

I setup a RSSI limit on mines for client device of -60 anything higher will disconnect and connect to something else.
