CPE210 Connection Issues
I am having trouble connecting to a CPE210. I had it working as a repeater using a 6 year old Netgear WIFI router (no antennas on it) for about 3 months then I upgraded to a Netgear Nighthawk AX300 (with 2 WIFI beam forming antennas) and it will no longer boost the wifi signal from the router. I have already reconfigured the CPE to locate the new network for the new router. I have no problem connecting the CPE to the router, it gets full connection. The problem comes in when trying to connect my phone at the location I used to with the old router, CPE combo. I get nothing, sometimes a weak signal, but mostly nothing. I have updated the CPE and Router the newest firmwear also.
After set up of the CPE to the new router on repeater mode I unplugged it from the computer and moved the CPE to the window I had it at previously. It is traveling about 150ft to an RV. I have the CPE sitting on the window seal and plugged into the wall outlet (CPE - POE input on power brick - into wall outlet), which is what I did before.
I have also tried this method in bridge mode and gave the CPE it's own SSID. I get full connection from the CPE to the main router (as shown on the side of the CPE) and I can log into the WIFI under the CPE SSID with my phone but when it connects it says "internet may be limited" and I can't go online at all. However, my phone WIFI signal is full.
When I checked the devices logged into my router it shows the CPE using a wired connection not a wireless connection. This is strange because it's not plugged into the router directly. I'm wondering if this could be the issue. Since the router thinks it's plugged in via Ethernet cable it's not sending it any connection info via WIFI. So the CPE is connecting to it wirelessly but the router is not sending the CPE anything back wirelessly.
Any thoughts as to the problem?
Thanks.
