This might be the problem, no DHCP server. It is plugged directly into an unmanaged switch/hub which allows them all to see their servers. The switch is just part of their network, They use manual IP address' inside the building on their network. I have DHCP activated on the CPE210 and it will give my clients an IP address, but it does not deliver any internet. The CPE210 is located 50' up on the side of the building, so I can't easily plug into the other port to test.
I will check to make sure my IP address falls into the system and update.


UPDATE:
I switched the ethernet port it was in and it started working. Even turned DHCP off on the CPE210. Speeds are less than desirable. It is a 10mb x 10mb network. I have it about 50' high, it might be too high. Any suggestions for settings for a reach of about 300'?

Hey, @SC Marina.

It won't reach 300Mbps. 2.4Ghz wifi is always crowded as every wifi devices around are competing for the limited channels share the available throughput.

But you're right about the height. Although the AP is powerful, your smartphones/tablets are not high-power devices so they are not good at transmitting their signal to far away. Lower the AP but keep it overcome the obstructions, you might get better speed.

Thanks for the information. After a weekend of boaters, it looks like all can connect, but only half of them can get the internet. I am going to assume that it is a mixture of cell devices, tablets, laptops. I have a Archer C9 dual band in my office, I guess I will get two outdoor antennas.... 2.4 ghz and 5ghz and plug into that. The CPE210 just seem to get it done. Any more suggestions would be great.

I have another idea if I could get some input. I could take the CPE210 and hook it to my Archer C9 router that I have in the office, I have the area to do it and it might be a better fit for the direction I need to broadcast. But what mode would I run the CPE210 in? AP or Repeater? That way no antennas have to be adjusted and the CPE210 would ethernet directly into the router.

AP

Turn off DHCP on CPE210. In LAN settings enter gateway address. Your internet will work.
