using three 210CPEs

Model: CPE210

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version:

I have a (main) 210CPE connected via cat5 cable to my ISP's router. This CPE is configured as an Access Point. I've set the Gateway IP address to 192.168.0.245. It broadcasts its SSID 'kennels'

I have two more 210CPEs and these are mounted on two other building. These buildings are within about 30degrees arc of the main CPE broadcasting 'kennels'

These two auxilliary 210CPS will connect via cat5 cables to additional routers inside the buildings. The routers will broadcast wifi (on different SSIDs) for use within the building.

How should I configure these two other CPEs? Should they be in Repeater mode or Client mode?

Thanks.

The other two CPEs should be clients, so that they are part of the main network (i.e. router ----- CPE #1 )))) (((( CPE #2/#3). The gateway of CPE #1 must be set to the main router's IP.

Note that using WiFi routers wired to the CPEs #2 and #3 will create two new subnets with the WiFi routers being their gateways. I would rather use access points (APs) instead of WiFi routers to spread the WiFi except it is your intention to create more subnets.
