Thanks for the video, considering buying these or the CPE210.First question, What UTP cable do I need to extend distance between the poe output of the power adapter and the poe lan0 on the accespoint(Extend to 20 meter)?Second question, What I am missing is the setup between the access point and the modem/router of the internet provider, because I think the access point needz to be in the same IPrange as the IPadress of the router, otherwise the client won't get access to the internet or am I wrong?Thanks for answering.

Hi, I have a TP-Link to exclusively communicate with a clients driveway automatic gate. Every 6 weeks I have to go back and open up the gate controller to re-enter the TP-link password, like it has an auto-log off security feature. Real hassle. Is there a configuration to stay logged on/in indefinitely? Thanks

[@TPLINKTECH]

That would be something you would need to troubleshoot with the gate controller manufacturer. A CPE like any AP should keep a device connected, as long as its communicating and in range.

[@chuckb337]

@@TPLINKTECH But as I kinda remember, the Tech who installed the TP asked me when configuring it if I wanted this (log off) feature for security, in case someone outside got inside. Are you certain it is not an option.. I admit it was a while back-cant be sure.

[@TPLINKTECH]

@@chuckb337 No because the channel managers here aren't trained on SMB products. As far as we know in AP mode, the unit shouldn't have any auto-off, There might be a Wifi Schedule option, but that would disable the wireless only during a certain time but that would be based on days. not multiple weeks. there shouldn't be a feature like that.

Please be aware regarding the (DFS) Dynamic Frequency Selection on 5 GHz. DFS is prioritizing military radar, satellite communication, and weather radar. That means that your link will disconnect between 1-10 minutes if it will find a military radar, satellite communication, and weather radar use in you neighboorhood. The sellers of 5 GHz links, as TP-Link, are talking quietly about this. I had to learn it the hard way.

[@TPLINKTECH]

This is not being quietly spoken about its a nature of the beast. DFS are typically reserved for Radar. To get FCC certification to use the channels are legally required to include such a check and balance to ensure the wireless use is not interfering with said radar.

[@gagarinone]

@@TPLINKTECH You and other companies doesn't inform us customers, when you advertise this products, about DFS. It took me 2 days to understand that it wasn't my setup which were wrong. For any user where stabilty of a WiFi connection is important, any equipment using DFS should not be used.

At 4:16 where it says "security: none" you need to select wpa 2 or wpa 3, because wep and wpa have almost no security, other people can connect but also see your traffic. Wifi networks are scanned in bulk very often, don't assume nobody will reach your network :)

@@Duckathan as long as they have line of sight with the main AP they should be able to connect. Though in your situation I would actually recommend the EAP225-Outdoor instead of the CPE210.

For CPE systems that is very difficult to do. It's not like an Omnidirectional low-power system that is easily influenced but other systems in the area. These systems are high power and very line of sight. The main interference factor is if something obscures the line of sight of the system.

There is no such thing as POE Ethernet cable. Its just a regular Ethernet cable that power is transmitted down as well. The Ethernet Port does have to be POE capable though.

That would be accurate for any open network. You would want to secure your network always. With the CPE however a client would need to have line of sight and be within the beamwidth of the CPE to be able to communicate with it.

[@mranilpandeyable]

Could you please inform me of the maximum number of client access points that can be connected to a single access point CPE?

[@TPLINKTECH]

I don't have that information but if you reach out to [e-mail] they should be able to assist you.

[@deccanvintagebritishmotorc6385]

i have an open wifi near my house but icant fix the other pair of CPE on the building from which iam getting open wifi i tried a lot of tricks but the signal till my house is very weak can i fix one pair of CPE and connect it to my wifi router

[@AlmiraTechId]

please me !... Can this tool for point to point connection with a distance of 10 Kilometers?

[@allenwu7421]

+Alditha Nasution right, you can do it, it supports up to 15km, www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-37_CPE510.html

[@mahbubislam5231]

+Allen Wu I've been informed it works upto 24km. Am i wrong?

[@tengene__]

Hi with this AP can I connect two client mode in one AP mode?

[@TPLINKTECH]

Sure as long as they all have line of sight and are in the beamwidth of the one set as an AP.

[@basu375358]

cpe 510 it is get 15 km ? 2.4 or 5 ghz which is best for 15km long distance

[@TPLINKTECH]

5GHz has a bigger data stream so you will see better performance from 5GHz.

[@Bamlydean]

Can i use the cpe510 in AP Client Router (WISP Client) mode and connect it to an archer a10 in (Router Mode)? I then want to connect an (AP) or wireless router to the cpe510 so I have an omnidirectional antenna for all my devices at the second location.

[@TPLINKTECH]

The two devices would need to be in line of sight and the beamwidth for that to work. The CPE510 has a very narrow beamwidth. However the EAP225-Outdoor may be a better product for your needs. Its an outdoor Omni-directional AP with a maximum range of 150 Meters.

[@brunoschwizer1009]

in AP/Client mode, can I have one CPE210 acting as AP and two CPE210 both acting as clients and connecting to the same AP? Or is it only 1 AP to 1 Client?

[@TPLINKTECH]

Yes as long as the clients have line of sight to the AP that would work

[@kqabro]

For WISP setup, which APs are recommended, and can it work with third party APs as well. If we use WBS510 as Main AP and connect with WISP mode CPEs?

[@TPLINKTECH]

Depends on your needs. CPE510 is 5GHz and CPE210 is 2.4GHz for Questions regarding specific deployments though we suggest contacting our support team.

[@TPLINKTECH]

@Nikos papadopoylos Depends on your region. www.tp-link.com/us/choose-your-location/ select your region then support then contact technical support

Hello Gentlemen, I have a question about TP-Link CPE Point to Point can I use it for one side only as sender without reciver ? I mean I have a router and I want to make the signal stronger, the receiver will be the computers and mobiles. could you help me with that? thank you

[@johndebaggis]

I'm no expert but basically yes. You can select Range Extender, Access Point, or Bridge based on your needs and connect devices compatible with 5ghz wifi (like most phones and computers.) Keep in mind that this is a very directional signal, it's not going to be well suited for "moving targets." You can connect a cellphone to the wireless signal, but you would be better off with something omni directional.

[@yassineyassine9504]

Hi TP-Link. Thank you for this demonstration, i have a question please. Can i use this Wireless CPE to access my data remotely using cifs and NFS ? Logically the answer seemed o be yes once i have the ability to share the INTERNET and video surveillance. But a friend of mine told me that this CPE is used only for INTERNET sharing and Wireless surveillance.

[@mohsanadreesadv.]

Your friend might be wrong because we are sharing files using this method.

[@yassineyassine9504]

@@mohsanadreesadv. Thank you very much for your feedback.

[@thelegendricky]

How can you set these up to another internet service? I got a new ISP and now I want to disconnect my CPE210s from my old internet so I can use it with my new internet.

[@TPLINKTECH]

It really depends on the configuration. If you have one unit as an AP and the other as a Client then you should only need to connect the AP unit to the new router's LAN and that's it.

[@thelegendricky]

@@TPLINKTECH Ok great...How do I do that?

[@thelegendricky]

I think I have them set up as client and AP.....TP-Link helped me set them up the first time. I have one connected to the old modem router and it sends a signal to the one I have about 150 feet away at the garage. Then a seperate modem inside the shop lets me have internet in the garage.

[@thelegendricky]

@@TPLINKTECH Oh so maybe all I have to do is simply disconnect the eithernet cable from the old internet modem, then reconnect it to the new internet modem? Ill try it.

[@thelegendricky]

UPDATE: It worked. All I had to do was disconnect the eithernet cables from the old modem and reconnect them to the new modem.

[@Bambule161]

Hey, i've got a question, maybe someone can help? Is a second CPE necessary for an short distance of 40 Meters? I've bought two CPE210, to build a PTP Connection from my main house to my garden house. But isn't it the second one, at my garden house, redunant if the main CPE acts as an Access Point? Could I leave off the "garden house" CPE and the router, i planed to install there? What are the pro and cons, to build a PTP versus only one Access Point? Im an total newbie, and non native english speaker, so please excuse me! Thanks!

[@TPLINKTECH]

for only 40 meters i would not recommend the CPE210. I would suggest an EAP225-outdoor. the benefit is that it is omni-directional, has a greater beamwidth so clients can actually connect to it and has a range of up to 150 meters for just one device. It would be the best choice by far in this situation.

ok so I put the ethernet cable in my routers Lan port then I connect the ethernet cable to the tp link. But what port do I connect that ethernet cable on the tp-link. to get the internet.

[@TPLINKTECH]

The CPE doesn't generate the internet service. The CPE should only have one ethernet port.

I need help on my setup as follow; I have configured like this: Router (GW 192.168.87.1/24) -> CPE210 (Access Point mode, IP: 192.168.87.50) to CPE210 (Client Mode, IP: 192.168.87.55) -> CCTV Decoder (IP: 192.168.87.45). My problem is, I cannot even ping all these IP from other subnet in my LAN, eg; from 192.168.86.0/24. My main priority is to access that CCTV Decoder. Please advice what is the correct way for me to implement this? Thank you for your help.

Question: Does CPE 220 is capable of point to multipoint connection? Thank you

[@TPLINKTECH]

It should be but we don't have that product in the US so we can't say yes absolutely. Here is the data sheet though. static.tp-link.com/2020/202003/20200324/CPE%20series-Datasheet.pdf

[@TheOmaJohn]

I'm not finding any explanations of the different modes that I find clear. I want to have one in my main building that is used only to communicate with the second, and the second in my outbuilding and running a wireless access point. Can you point me toward documentation that can explain that? The mode descriptions don't seem to be looking at things from the angle I am.

[@TPLINKTECH]

Unit at the main set in AP mode. Remote unit set in Client mode. units must have clear line of sight and be within each other's beam width. If the distance is 150 meters or less consider using a EAP225-Outdoor. you would only need one then.

Have difficulties connecting the client to the AP: 1. Do I have to disconnect the LAN cable between PC and AP, to client PC at any time in the configuration process? 2. The SSID network-name. Is that a specific new name for the AP-Client connection, or to the network of the house? 3. At what time may I LAN-connect the AP to the router of the house instead of the PC? How do I do that? 4. What option do I have, if my PC does not have a traditional LAN-socket in the configuration process?
