Hi all!
I am using a CPE210 in AP mode to get a wifi signal in a metal shop about 150ft away from the house.
The CPE210 is connected to a Netgear Orbi Satellite via ethernet cable. (the router is a RBR50, the mesh system Costco sells or sold not too long ago).
I have a couple Rings cameras, two garage door openers and a ring bridge connected to the CPE210 network inside the shop.
Everything works fine for a day or two, and then suddenly the CPE210 seems to drop all client connections, and refuse any new connections until I pull the power cord and re-boot the CPE210.
It seems to mostly happen when I try to connect my cell phone to the CPE210 network at the shop, but sometimes the cell phone connects fine. I have not seen the cameras in the shop or the openers to disconnect until I have a failed cell phone connection attempt. When this happens, the cell phone gives me a "failure to authenticate" error, and all other connected devices are also dropped from the CPE210 until I reset it.
What's the issue here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@schildi, RSSI levels of connected clients are not that good. They range from »okay, but only low traffic services« (≤ -70 dBm) over »not good, packet loss will appear« (≤ -80 dBm) to »unuseable« (≤ -90 dBm). Good RSSI levels are all values from -67 dBm and greater.
Using two CPEs on a directional link over 70m I get a RSSI value of around -41 dBm. For comparison: -70dBm is a 1,000 times weaker signal, -80dBm is a 10,000 times weaker signal and -90 dBm is a 100,000 times weaker signal compared to -40 dBm.
Everything greater or equal -50 dBm is »very good« (100% signal quality), -67 dBm is still »good« (66% signal quality), -70 dBm is »okay« (60% signal quality), while levels smaller than -75 dBm are bad (50% signal quality and worser).
