I think I got the disconnection issue resolved by making some changes on the router but even with the cpe210 being near the router speeds arent that great. Any ideas?

The CPE210 uses directional antennas with a beam width of only 65º while your router's built-in AP is almost certainly using antennas with 360º coverage. As a result, the RF energy from the indoor AP is way too weak for creating a stable wireless link, even if a CPE210 is used on the remote side. Next problem is your client device. It will establish a stable WiFi signal only if inside the CPE's antenna beam width.

I would have used an EAP-Outdoor (110 or 225) access point mounted on the outer side of the house wall if the garage is nearby. But this AP then needs to be connected to the router by cable.

The usual way to connect a remote location using a directional link (if distance is larger than the coverage of the indoor AP - and only then you would need additional devices on the remote site at all!) is by combining an EAP-Outdoor over a directional wireless link using CPE510 (not 210!) as shown in the diagram below. Anyway the AP at the house also needs a cable connection to the router.

This is how CPEs need to be set up to get a stable wireless link and the max. wireless speed they support.

Does the 5 ghz one give off a better range?

Depends on the situation in your area. Often the 2.4 GHz band is overcrowded. For real-world speeds of a CPE510 see this story and compare with CPE210 throughput which was around 3-4 Mbps when two CPE210 were used over the same link.

@jhayes, great that you got it working and thanks for the feedback. Yes, placing a CPE behind a window works fine for short distances and even client devices of all sort can send back a good WiFi signal over a short distance. Have fun with the CPE210!
