@CHASER,

 

CPEs are for long-range directional links, they use directional antennas and usually are used pair-wise, while EAP110 uses omnidirectional antennas, which have a much smaller range, but a broad 360º coverage.

 

You should not mix devices with different antenna types.

 

Also, CPE610 is not well suited as a repeater (for the same reason, it uses directional antennas with only 9º (H) / 7º (V) antenna beam width, limiting its coverage).

 

Typical use for CPE610 is a wireless backhaul. Note that both antennas need to have the same range, else the max. range is always the smaller range of both devices linked together. The following image shows a directional sector antenna on the right which also has a pretty long range suitable to link with distant CPE610s:

 

 

What exactly do you want to achieve?

@R1D2,

 

Ohh. I just did background research and noticed that CPE 610 is a 5ghz while eap110 is a 2.4ghz, so I'm thinking of changing the CPE610 to CPE 220 which is a 2.4ghz too so that it will be the same with the eap110.

what I want to achieve is that eap110 can be set up as Business Wifi with the portal (using a voucher code). since the eap110 just has limited in range, I want to extend it using a CPE220 (as a repeater set-up) so that it will have a long coverage area.

I hope you get my point :)

@CHASER, what I have described refers to the antenna technology and also applies to all 2.4 GHz devices as well (CPE210, CPE220, WBS210 etc.).

@R1D2,

 

so that means it's not possible to make cpe 220 as a repeater or extender to eap110??

@CHASER,

 

as I wrote, the longest distance is always the smallest distance of the devices involved.

 

If you want to connect standard clients like laptops or smartphones to a WLAN, the max. distance is the one the laptop / smartphone can cover with its antennas (that's ~40-70m outdoors, ~10-15m indoors). EAP110-Outdoor and EAP225-Outdoor are fine for this use case.

 

If you want to bridge long distances in the kilometer range wirelessly, you take a pair of CPEs with specially designed directional antennas.

 

There are no »repeaters« with which you can supply standard clients over long distances (>70m outdoors), that's technically impossible.

 

You can't beat the laws of (antenna) physics.
