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

Yes, I have tried it. The result is the same.
The only thing that works is if I make the tp-link to be AP and connect the mikrotik to it as station, but that is not an option for me.

Yes I might try that. I talked to mikrotik support and they said that the problem is exactly where i thought. In the "wants bridge" message. Because it uses some sort of bridge-mode which is different then the one in the mikrotik and I can't disable it in the cpe. There is an option to enable/disable bridge-mode on the mikrotik, but if I disable it there - cpe does not connect at all and if I enable it - it connects, but no data passes because they are different.

Update :
I have flashed the cpe210 with openwrt and now it connects and works. The only problem is that I cannot set tx-power more than 22dBm possibly by some limitation in the driver.
I am still waiting for some answer from Tp-Link if they can release a firmware where this is fixed, but if not I will just reflash them all even though it is easier for the installers to work with the default firmware.

Great, now we know more.
1-Did you use TFTP or from web-ui
2-And the Lan port by default is WAN did you chsnge it to LAN or did nothing
3-The power is correct, never was 27, 27 is peak 23 is the real output, documented in this link here http://forum.tp-link.com/showthread.php?81152-TP-PharOS-1.2.1-on-CPE510-Max-Transmit-
4-Power-is-23-dBm-not-27-dBm&p=161547&viewfull=1#post161547
5-I read That flashed, does not have the same reach on distance, and now reading your post and the one I linked maybe they refer to that and they assume.
6-all my routers are flashed to OpenWrt, anything you need , let me know, I don't like CLI I use LuCi

I flashed it from the web ui. The lan ports are bridged in LAN. In default config it works similar to the ap client router mode (wisp client).
I read somewhere about that peak/real output. All wireless cards have different power output on different MCS. Maybe 27dBm is at MCS0 and 22dBm at MCS7 or something like that, but it shows it 22dBm in the openwrt web. Still testing on desk so can't tell how it will be in real world.

They are bridged by default, but i haven't tried using the 2nd lan.
I used the latest snapshot. There is no image for the cpe210 in the stable release which is from last year.
I installed luci and some other packages.
I tried using CC 15.05rc2. It cannot be flashed from the default firmware, it gives an error. I was able to flash it after using the snapshot. But there is a problem with luci in this version - it crashes after starting the uhttpd.

The problem with LuCi is with CC or with the Snapshot
Please update tests in the real world.
