So I am being told 1 or 2 years ago the FCC changed the way APs are certified. That the manufactures certs the APs for either indoor or outdoor. Can anyone confirm this?
Does this mean an indoor AP can NOT be used outdoors? Or does it mean a professional has to install it to meet the FCC outdoor rules (power and channels)?
thanks

It pretty simple. You just need to make sure you do not exceed the FCC reg for outdoor. And keep in mind that UNII2 ,UNII2E has different power standards than UNII3.

I am guessing the samething but have you every heard of the indoor/outdoor FCC rating before?

Yes. These ratings are to allow indoor use of 5 ghz and outdoor use. The outdoor rating allows for more power.
