Two CPE210s can't connect well
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
While waiting for Comcast to connect our house, I'm trying to piggy-back off our neighbor's wi-fi. He kindly let me install a CPE210 configured as an access point on his garage, and I've installed a second one at our house with good line of sight back to the first, configured as a client.
The problem is, when I connect to the other CPE210's SSID, it's very glitchy, with ~1-2Mbps and then disappears. However, if I connect from my house CPE210 to his wifi router, which I can see with the anntenna, it is much higher bandwidth (20-25Mbps). Unfortunately this periodically drops signal as well, so it's not as stable as I'd like.
The two CPEs pointing right at each other over about 0.1km should have excellent connection, so I'm guessing that there's something misconfigured that's preventing that. I've enabled Maxtream on the AP device.
Anything I should try when I pull the CPE from his house back to work on configuration before redeploying?
Thanks!

i have might have a little band-aid fix for the connection problem.
what i did is i made a reboot schedule via pharos control (you will need PC turned on)*
and i set the reboot every 4am in the morning. everyday. as the weird link problems happens almost daily.
the base ap reboot every 4am so that it wont randomly have the connection problem in the middle of the day.
*i really wish tplink would just make a reboot schedule inside the gui (standalone) so no need to have pharos control running.
also all the cpe i set the watchdog:
ip = ip of the base ap
Ping Interval = 10 (seconds)
Startup Delay = 180 (3 minutes)
Fail Count To Reboot = 6
