Basic Problem CPE210
Model : CPE210
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : beta 1.3, but I try all
ISP :
Good morning from Spain
I have a CPE210
I want to connect to a wireless network (indoors is reached with difficulty) by creating another wireless bridge that can be access by several phone from inside
I don't know the type of router that has the wifi to which I want to connect, only know the SID and password
I connected to cpe210 from a computer following the instructions:
I access the Web interface and configure the CPE210 as a Bridge following the "quick setup":
Step 1:
Select Bridge
Step 2 (LAN settings):
Leave the defaults:
Ip 192.168.0.254
mask: 255.255.255.0
Step 3 (wireless client):
Therefore selected the wifi from survey
Region: Spain
Mode: 802.11b / g / n
WDS: Disable
Channel: 20/40 Mhz
Security WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK (like myself doing the survey on the network to which I want to connect)
Password: correct
Distance: 0
Step 4 (ap settings)
Radio: enable
SSID: TP_LINK
Security: WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK
passord: I write a new one
Finish
Once the configuration is finish, I try to connect ti the new SSID from the phone (Galaxy Note)
But it stops in Getting IP and fails to connect
I tried to enable DHCP on the network tab and thus gives me IP and now it connect, but I not able to browse (chrome gives a problem DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET
How can I test that he really connected to the wifi?
Why I do not see anything in the Status tab in the WAN section?
Sorry maybe this is ver basic, but I'm stack and I have try everthing before posting (I have even upgrade to the beta firmware 1.3...)

Re:Basic Problem CPE210
Before you connect to any SSID set AP mode tuto here
http://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-730.html and find out a channel you can connect with Smartphone to 210 you won't. be able to connect to all
Now that you found it, change IP to a dif. subnet set 192.168.5.1
set AP-Client-Router mode, Tuto here http://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-726.html this mode lets you create a virtual AP to connect to device
Edited August 13-2015
Channel smartphones connect ch. #1 freq. 2412
Before linking survey (scan networks) and check ch. set on router to link and set same on 210
By default bandwidth on 210 is 40 Mhz. set 20 Mhz. 99% of isp routers are set to 20
You do not need any info. from ISP to set AP-Client-Router mode, all need it you have it SSID & password
After survey and network to join is selected chose LOCK TO AP
Manually add Google DNS in Network tab see picture, and don't pay attention to ip I used for this test, left default cause I linked to a router with subnet 4

Re:Basic Problem CPE210
The reason of posting you the picture on post #2,is to show you the Google DNS I added, cause it happen the same I got connection but no internet until I added them.
You have the SSID & password of that router, but that does not mean you will surf Internet
why, cause you might be too far from router
The router is in another home, 210 is indoors, that's wrong, 210 should be outdoors and in direct line to router
Answer this question, if you get close to router, with iPhone or Android, are you able to connect and surf Internet
In case you have a Android, and you connect and surf Internet, Android lets you view the type of security.
And how you got the password, by a friend, or by software, if you got it by software 99% is WEP, and if that's the case, I don't know if 210 supports repeating WEP security easy one to find out, when you survey (scan networks) you can see type and channel used by router to link, last 2 columns to the right

Re:Basic Problem CPE210
I did try WEP Security, by default 210, fills the security fields, see SURVEY (scan) and second screenshot

when you select WEP security all you need to know if its 64, 128,152 Bits if you dont know start with 64

Note: you never confirmed if you added manually Google DNS, thats important.
