Model: CPE510  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello, 

 

I have set up the access point successfully. The wireless network via AP is broadcast and works when I connect to it. However, when I go to set up the other CPE510 in client mode and look to search for the network that I have set up through the AP, it is unable to find it. I followed the directions that TP link provided on youtube but no matter how often I scan for the AP, it never comes up. What am I doing wrong? I am sure it is a simple mistake but I cant seem to figure out why it wont show up for client mode. 

 

To give background, I am setting up an AP to send the single to my seahouse about 800 meters away. And i am using another CPE510 to receive the signal. The CPE510 that is on the receiving at at the Seahouse will then be connected to a wireless router to broadcast the wif signal in the house. 

 

I set it up before and it worked beautifully however the CPE510 connected to my main house, crapped out on me so I needed to buy a new one. Hope someone can help.

Make sure they are under each other's coverage, change the AP's channel and test again

You can refer to this one, issue might caused by DFS channel.

Why are my devices not detecting the SSID of CPE/WBS in AP mode?

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

Hi, here is another Guide, just make sure the signal strength is good.
How to adjust orientation of outdoor AP for better signal coverage?

@Pattielee set both your CPEs on the same channel/frequency and band let's say 5220MHz & 40MHz and throttle up Tx Power, save changes and try again.
