[Beta]Connect Tp-Link CPE210 to Mikrotik
2015-06-30 14:55:06

Region : Argentina
Model : CPE210
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 1.2.1
ISP :
Hello,
We have been using tp-link cpe's for a long time. Most recently the 7210 and they work good. But now our supplier is selling us the new cpe210.
We have trouble connecting it to our network. Our AP's are mikrotik. The cpe210 connects, but then no data passes. We tried as both client mode or ap client router mode (wisp client).
We use the 7210 in ap client router mode and expected to use it in the same manner. The wireless part in the mikrotik configuration is pretty basic, nothing fancy there and all other kind of cpe connects fine.
What I noticed different is that when cpe210 connects in the mikrotik log i see a message : wants bridge. Which is kinda strange for a wisp client. Maybe that is the problem but I don't see any option to disable it.

I don't know spanish at all.
So I have tried a lot of things. On client side I tried with wds on auto, disable, enable. On the AP side if I enable wds and try to connect with cpe210 it becomes completely unresponsive until I poweroff the cpe or stop trying to connect. Another thing to note that I think is not good is that if I have access list on the ap and the mac address of a cpe210 is not in that list it makes hundreds of attempts per second to connect and it disturbs the connection of all other connected stations.

I am using an Omni antenna, but not the supplied one with the device. It is set on 2Ghz band.

It cannot be used at both bands at the same time. You set one or the other. The Groove is mounted and as I said there are other clients connected to it so antenna is not the issue. The cpe210 connects to the Groove with a signal around -62.
Also the other device I am testing with has only a small 1,5db antenna attached to it and they are 1m apart, signal again is good, but also not too strong to overload the receiver.

Could it be a factory mistake you have a 5Ghz unit packed on a 2.4Ghz case

There are 15 connected stations all working good. They are a mix of tplink 5210, 7210 and some other cpe's. So it is not possible it is a mistake. All those other devices work on 2,4GHz band.
And as I said the cpe210 connects and stays connected it is just that no data is passing at all. If it was the wrong band it would not connect at all, it would not even pick up the AP when scanning.

I am hoping for some answer from Tp-Link too, that is why I am writing here.
It is almost clear to me that it is some protocol compatibility issue, but I hope they can fix with some new firmware.
Let me post some logs from the mikrotik ap. Here is what happens when a Tp-Link TL-WA7210N connects :
Jun 26 12:13:41 192.168.10.47 wireless,info C4:6E:1F:4B:CD:77@wlan1: connected
And here is the log entry when the Tp-Link CPE210 connects :
Jun 23 12:14:08 192.168.10.47 wireless,info C4:E9:84:33:4F:51@wlan1: connected, wants bridge
Why does it want bridge mode when I am using wisp client mode and it should connect as station. The same way as the 7210 does. If there is an option in some "advanced wireless" menu to disable "wants brigde" then I am sure it will work.
