@PanamaPat You may try Watch Dog function, to let CPE reboot itself when AP lost Internet.

 

I don't have CPE710 so the screenshot comes from a CPE510, but I believe they have the same UI. It's under Managment option.

thx for the suggestion.  I tried it on the CPE510 that is configured as the 2nd AP in the daisy chain, but it did not work, instead forcing an auto reboot every 15 minutes.  I suspect that if configured as an AP, the setting does not work.

 

any ideas?
 

thx

  @PanamaPat I feel like the problem could also be CPE710 channels(the AP unit)

 

On CPE710 webinterface go to Wireless, and choose Channel/Frequency, which channels you can choose?

 

DFS channels (channel 100-140) may not work stable in EU area.

This installed in a very unpopulated area, and thus no interference on the selected channels.

Let me add some additional clarity on my configuration to then follow up with a question on how to configure device auto-reboot.

 

Device 1:  CPE710 in AP mode and connected to home router

Device 2:  CPE710 in Client mode 1.25 miles away then ethernet linked to Device #3 pointing to our cabin

Device 3:  CPE510 in AP mode beaming signal down to cabin

 

The system works great most of the time.  However, if the home router temporarily looses the internet connection (i.e., power failure or internet signal loss), the 3 part system does not fully recover.  Device #1 comes back fine, as well as Device #2.  But device #3 will not come back without powering the device down and restarting it.

 

I tried the recommendation to enable Ping Watch Dog on device #3, but it does not work; instead forcing a reboot every 15 minutes (300 seconds x 3 times happens to correspond to the 15 minute reboot).  Is Device 3 in the configuration described able to ping as configured?  It does not seem it can.

 

Any suggestions appreciated.
