inconsistent connection to Pharos on CPR210 client
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I'm wasting so much time because after setting up a cpe210 as client I cannot consistently connect to it. sometimes browser timeouts, sometimes the Pharos interface, and sometimes if fails as I poke around the backend (not making changes).
Also the device radio strength signals turn off then on again about every 10 seconds. I have a TPlink refurbished device and a new one, they both do the same thing.
When looking at the STATUS tab, all the wireless signal strength metrics go off and on in time with the lights.
Like I said, same on 2 difference CPE210 clients.
ALSO - ONLY ONCE I've been able to get a ping between client (192.168.1.211) and AP (192.168.1.210). The Client is locked to the AP with MAC address
and I can see no way to validate whether I have a good connection between AP & Client (I'm in my office with both ~10f from each other). That one time I was able to ping the AP, I could not ping 8.8.8.8 (google) through it, even though the AP gateway is the network gateway 192.168.1.1
So between;
a) inconsistent access to the Pharos interface through an ethernet cable
b) inability to ping the AP
c) radio strengh lights flashing on/off
I just am not getting anywhere
This should be so simple! (and yes I've tried 2 different network cables to connect with the client, as well as 2 different clients!)
Dear @JennyCouncil,
On the CPE AP Status page, we can check whether there is a client connected to the AP under Monitor-Stations, see the image below,
On the CPE Client Status page, we can check if the client is connected to an AP under the Wireless Signal Quality and Radio Status.
