Hi  @kostasbmw 

 

Yes, the client mode is for your situation.

 

Is the IP address you got  172.20.x.x? or 127.x.x.x?

 

How did you check the Internet access of the client CPE? Via the management PC?

If you are checking on the same PC, please change the IP settings to DHCP first.

I have the same issue, I can access the internet when connected by mobile, but when I connect to the same SSID by cpe610 and return my computer network settings to auto, I can’t access the internet and the computer can’t obtain ip address 

How to solve this?

Hi  @Bishi 

 

Did you configure the CPE610 as client mode?

 

To confirm if the CPE610 connected to the front SSID successfully, please go to the CPE's management page and check the status page.

The wireless settings part should be like the picture below if it's linked up successfully.

 

Please take a full screenshot of this page and share it with us.

Thank you for your assistance 

 

Yes it's in client mode and the name of the SSID appears in the status page, and the wireless settings is similar as yours, but once I return the network settings to auto and try to access the portal page, nothing happens 

 

while it redirects me to the captive page when I connect to another SSID.

but with this particular SSID, ip is not obtained

  @Vincent-TP 

I tried CPE210 as well and it didn't obtain IP either, but when I tried TL-WA850RE it worked successfully!

 

so apparently CPE610 and 210 are blocked from obtaining the IP.

 

I tried client, AP client, AP client router and repeater modes

 

I tried MAC clone and it didn't work, or I didn't perform it correctly

 

is there any explanation or solution to this issue?

Hi  @Bishi 

 

You enabled Feed-only mode by mistake.  It doesn't match your requirement.

Please turn it off and check again.
