Hello, I want to cover about one acre of my property but I’m struggling to find a relatively cheap wifi 6 access point for outdoors with an external antenna port. I’m looking at these eap650-outdoor units from tp link but I’m suspicious of the internal antenna design. Thank you all!

    I have 6 acres, of which I cover about a third. Outdoors, I’ve been using these (Unifi AC Mesh):

    I don’t use the mesh feature, I have them hard wired and use PoE to power them. Works well because they are waterproof (enough) and I can stick them on any tree or post that I can get an ethernet cable to. And I run cables just straight on the ground if it doesn’t cross any paths I care about.

    The units you found look pretty similar. A vertical bar you can stick on a tree. I’d roll with it.
