CPE 210 setup and use issues
Hello,
Just have hopefully some basic questions that need answered.
I have setup various networks before, but first time using this product. I'm trying to use it to connect to an existing TP-Link AX6000 router's wireless. I accessed the control software, configured it as a client, scanned for networks, connected to the AX6000 wireless network, and all that seems great! I did make sure that the MAXtream is disabled.
Distance is currently set to 0.5K, as this is just to provide a connection for another building roughly 100FT away through a couple trees. I even lowered the transmit power down a tad to 20db.
The problem I'm having, is that despite the connected device getting assigned an IP address from the AX6000 router, it does not seem to want to pass along internet traffic. Essentially at best its glitchy, and at worst, nothing. I have yet to install it at its final location, currently just trying to make sure everything will work first. Its eventual duty is to connect to this AX6000 wirelessly, then connect physically to a WAN port of another router with different wireless name for internet for that building.
I have tried connecting the unit directly to my PC, while having it within close proximity to the aforementioned router. Still nothing. I can talk to the unit's onboard software perfectly, but it won't let anything talk to the internet. I have set a static IP matching the network being assigned by the AX6000.
I can connect and operate the device software either wirelessly or wired no problem, so it talks fine on either end.
I can connect directly to the AX6000, internet works perfectly fine. I can connect the router I setup to use this device directly to the AX6000 and that works fine. But when I put this device between them, barely works at all when it does.
Are there any suggestions? Am I overlooking something? This unit seems ridiculously simple to setup, so... Hoping I didn't get a bum one.
Thanks,
