I have the same exact problem, I have a CPE210 V1.1 working in client mode, it works for a while sometimes a couple of hours some times seconds. It works but disconnects from the AP. I have to go through SURVEY again to select the AP and reconnect...

If you solve this problem, please let me know!

It appears to work better during the day, it becomes worse in the night, meaning it disconnects more often and have to select the AP again...

I am working on firmware version 1.3.3 Build 20160705 Rel. 52453

Sorry, but danymarc is absolutely right: without much more details regarding your setup, especially wireless parameters and the log file at the time of breaks, nobody here is able to answer your questions in order to help you. My CPE210 runs without any problems for weeks, but it had been tested and set up carefully to work in the given environment. So to get any help, post your CPE settings, information about the environment and an excerpt of the log file if you expect other CPE users to help you in their spare time. Or call TP-Link support if you want an answer from TP-Link.

Boris01, I'm not sure I understand you correctly. I've used MAXtream and it worked perfectly in firmware 1.3.3 on a 1km radio link, but since it has no advantage on my PtP use case I disabled it. But see below.

The last version for hardware v1.0 is firmware 2.0.0, but it is mainly a "Visual Identity Update" meaning it has a new look&feel, the new TP-Link logo and few extended functions. IIRC beamforming once was there in very old firmware versions, but has been removed at least since version 1.3.3 on.

If you actually operate your devices outside the 2412 - 2472 MHz band, it is no wonder that you cannot get stable links or links at all. I don't know any country which has released frequencies outside 2400 - 2483 MHz for WiFi use. There could be any other devices using those frequencies and they almost certainly cause interferences with WiFi equipment. If you really want to compete with WISPs, use the frequencies released for WiFi use.

That said, depending in which country/place you live in, the 2.4 GHz band may be worse than the 5 GHz band if it comes to the aspects of interferences. Not only are consumer devices of all kind in the 2.4 GHz band, but also many other devices such as (non-navigational) location services, identification services, news radio and many more. Most often they are even allowed to have much more TX power than WiFi devices.

But even more worse is to use any frequency outside the legal 2.4 GHz band.





For example, in my country the frequency band from 2320 - 2400 MHz (channels 237 to 255) are assigned to amateur radio and mobile communications, for both civilian and military service. I would be crazy if I would use those channels. First of all, they don't use any WiFi protocol there which might create any kind of interferences with WiFi equipment. Second, I certainly would not try to mess with military services using this frequency band. If I would cause interferences in their communication, I not only could get a significant fine, but the regulatory authorities also would have the right to seize all my WiFi equipment.

Frequencies from 2483.5 to 2500 MHz is mobile communications over satellites in my country. This will have interferences if operating WiFi equipment in channels 76 and above. Same as above applies (in my country) regarding law enforcement if I would use this frequency band.

That is basic knowledge for someone who wants to compete with WISPs.

Now post details of your setup if you wish someone in the forum to help you, but don't blame the devices for improper use.

thanks you for share!:)

Gentlemen: it continues to malfunction, a few moments ago it happened again, it simply connects and disconnects all the clients, continue until you restart it. To top it off in a random way, it can be fine 5 hours and nothing happens, but without reason starts this problem. It is not with a particular computer, it is with all, in its AP function (point-multipoint), either with maxtream enabled or not. Sres TPLINK, fix this there is a lot of money invested.-
