Dear Community

 

almost a year ago, I was able to setup the CPE210  in AP Client Router mode in order to connect to a WiFi network that is around 150m away. When connected, the internet is working reasonably well, with 48 Mbps TX and RX rate. However, the connection frequently drops - on some days, it is around every 30 minutes, on other days more like every 60 minutes. When I check the status of my TPLink, I can see that the TX/RX rates dropped to 0 Mbps while still being connected to the Root AP, then after a while it drops the connection completely (N/A), then it reconnects again with 0 Mbps, and after around a minute it is back up to 48 Mbps. Only after this, a new WAN network with a new IP Adress is established, and my devices have access to internet again.

 

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

 

Unfortunately, there is 1 tree and a wall between my CPE210 and the network I am connecting to. But since the connection is working properly most of the time, I hope that this is possibly a setup mistake I made?

@HL1 Same problem. Drops too often.

Directional links are very sensitive to obstacles in the fresnel zone.

For a reliable directional link you need a fresnel zone clearance of at least 40%, better 20% or less.

 

If there is even a wall in-between the CPEs, could be that the link relies on reflections of the signal when it's working and if something changes temporarily, the link breaks down.
