@Heggie Hey,Fate made us meet again lol.

1. what is the status of the light on the CPE when the connection is dropped? Is the SSID still visible on other devices ? can you access the management interface of the CPE at this time ?
2. the CPE is using directional high power antenna, not suitable to provide hotspot to SOHO devices, so I think you can try to use two CPE to establish a PTP connection to see if you have the same problem.

@Yannie Great to have your help again! Thanks!

In approximate order:

• The light on the PoE remains green when it drops the communication
• I cannot access the dish at all with any device when it drops
• I can NOT access the dish web interface when it drops
• I'm game to try using the second dish we bought to provide a link like you described. In discussion with the TP-Link support in Toronto, Nick, he thought what I was doing was fine but if I'm supposed to use two dishes, and now HAVE two dishes, I think trying what you suggest makes a lot of sense.

Raining off and on this week but I'll try and set up the second dish and report back. Thanks!

Stuart

@Heggie Will waiting for your reply. Take care

@Yannie Well, here we are 48 hours with no interruptions. I guess two dishes is the charm. I'll email my contact at TP-Link here in Canada and tell him they should discourage people trying to do this with one dish only. Anyway, I think it's fixed! Thanks @Yannie for your support though all of this!
