CPE210 unreliable
Model :
Hardware Version : CPE210 v2.0
Firmware Version : 2.0.0 Build 20161102 Rel. 39691 (5553)
ISP : Highland Networks (I think)
Hello
I have bought a new CPE210. After a factory reset I login and disable the wireless, nothing else. After 1 or two hours the device freezes and I cannot ping or reconnect. I've tried different cables and connected at two different parts of my network. I'm at a loss as to how to debug this. Can anyone help?
This is my second unit. The first one behaved the same way which makes me think I'm doing something wrong.
I have the latest V2 FW.
Thanks
Mark

Re:CPE210 unreliable
What HW version has the CPE210? What kind of LAN setup do you use? DHCP? Static IP? PC's network settings correct?
I did set up a CPE210 v1, firmware version 2.1.0, wireless adapter disabled. Still running after 2.5 hours:
But I wonder what's the purpose of running a CPE210 with WiFi disabled?

Re:CPE210 unreliable
Sorry, I probably didn't explain:
I do want to set up an AP - Client pair, but found that running AP with 27dbM and even 11dbM wifi the unit stopped communicating as described. So I tried to see if it was due to the wifi settings, so I turned the radio off to see if it became more reliable (but no good for what I wanted).
The device is V2. I have it set up static IP. When running it seems good. Ping times from my PC are in the order of 0.2ms - 1.5ms and connecting to the device via wifi I can get 18Mb/s with an OOKLA speedtest.
I am running a continuous ping test to the unit to see if I can see anything strange in the network times.

How far is it between the AP and Client CPE210? When the AP is set as 27dBm or even 11dBm, does the Client CPE210 just disconnect from the AP? What about the LOS?
Re:CPE210 unreliable
Sorry to be ambiguous. My aim is to have two CPE210s: An AP (device #1) connected over WiFi with a client (device #2). I have not even connected (nor bought) device #2 yet. My last reply had images but I failed to attach them properly so they didn't appear, I'll try again.
My current system has a single CPE210 configured as an AP with static IP. My Windows7 PC is 192.168.0.9, the internet connects to a router on 192.168.0.1 (which has the DHCP server). The CPE210 is 192.168.0.254. I can connect to the wifi of the router with my phone using DHCP (it is 192.168.0.100) and can do a speedtest no problem (there is only a couple of meters between the phone and the CPE210). I also have a linux box on the network (192.168.0.130).
My first experiment is now do nothing. I regularly look at the webpage via firefox on the windows machine at address 192.168.0.254. I can see the CPE210's webpage until at some point after 30minutes to a few hours the webpage stops loading and times out. At this point all of the LEDs on the CPE210 are on (the LAN LED is flashing like there is traffic) but I cannot connect. My phone tells me that the SSID is still visible but I cannot connect to the wifi either.
My second experiment, I power cycle the CPE210. I ping the CPE210 from the Linux box, every second and the pings reply with a time of around 1ms. I have noticed that after 10-60 minutes the pings take consistently longer: 500ms - 2000ms. At this point the CPE210 is still visible via the webpage and I can connect to the wifi. After another 30-120minutes the pings timeout and I can no longer talk via the webpage or over the wifi.
The third experiment was turning off the wifi just to see whether the wifi was causing the problem but it gave the same results as the first two experiments.
I hope that is clearer.
