Model: CPE210

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I am trying to pick up WiFi signal inside a panel van (RF not really penetrating the van) for several Ethernet devices inside. The van is parked around several 3rd party outdoor WiFi access points that the CPE210 could be pointed at. I want to mount the CPE210 on the outside of the van feeding the WAN side of a small router on the inside and several Ethernet devices at the LAN port of the router. Will the CPE210 (510 or 710) connect to the outdoor access points and provide data for the wide-area side of the router?

Yes, you can do that. Just configure the CPE as client mode. You can refer to the following link:

How to Configure the Client Mode on the Pharos device

Note: If you are planning to use CPE510/710, please make sure the 3rd party outdoor WiFi access points channel matches with CPE's.
