Cannot access CPE220

Hi, I have recently bought a CPE210 - I've followed the instructions for setting up and thought I got it working ok.
I've then mounted it on the roof of my house to allow me to get internet access at the bottom of the garden.
I set it up as an access point.
Using some wifi analysis software I can see that the device is transmitting however no device will connect to network despite being able to see it. I thought I would do a factory reset and try setting it up as a wifi extender however I cannot seem to log in to the CPE210 to change the settings. I have tried to do a remote factory reset but that doesnt seem to do anything - the device is still transmitting with the same SSID.
When I connect the device to the LAN port (in the power unit) the PC doesn't detect it.
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? It seems like it should be simple but I can't work it out.
I am trying to avoid having to climb back on to the roof if at all possible!
I appreciate your input.
Thanks.

Sure, by direct to the device I mean into LAN1 on the 220 itself rather than the power pack. POE still connected by LAN0danymarc wrote
Pharos line uses POEcan you explain whats quoted on bold, cause I do not understand how you are able to connect to 220 without the POE (power unit)

If you are able to connect via LAN1, set it up right
Reset 220 through web interface, it's important you do this, cause you had made many changes
set a ip to 220 on same subnet as main router example, if your main router is 192.168.0.1 the third segment (0) is the subnet, set 220 to 192.168.0.2, don't forget this is done with static ip on your Laptop so if you have a ip on a dif subnet to 220 once you make the change on 220 you will lose connection untill you change your laptop static to the new subnet
The example I posted is not a good one, cause 220 comes on same subnet, but I posted that one so you could identify the subnet as the third segment, usually main routers have 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254
Once you have your 220 set on same subnet follow the AP mode configuration, in Network tab DO NOT CHANGE connection type live it as default STATIC

There is a LAN1 on the 220 unit - which what I used to set up the 220. I could access the control panel through this without problem.
There is a LAN1 on the power unit which I should be able to connect as a direct link to the 220. The unit is on the roof so I cannot plug into this. I can plug into LAN1 in the POE power unit - when I do this my computer does not detect thata device has been connected. This is not a fault with the PC as I have tested it with other devices. Also - the reset button on the POE does not reset the 220 unit as it should do.
Regardless of whether or not I have set the 220 up properly I should still be able to connect via the remote LAN1 and I should be able to reset remotely via the reset button. Since neither of these work I deduce that the POE unit must be faulty.
It is not the network cable because this was used to set it up in the first instance. The annoying thing now is I need to climb back up on the roof to return the whole unit! Unless tp-link agree to me just sending the power unit back.
Thanks all for your time in commenting previously.
