Hi,

I am setting this up as a Repeater. I can connect to it but after several minutes the wireless connection drops. The only way to a activate it again is to go through the setup as a repeater. I am using it with an Arris router.

The Repeater mode is usually used to connect between Pharos products. It's not suggested to use it with a 3rd party router.

Besides, the wireless signal of the device in Bridge/Repeater mode is normally weaker than that in other modes. We recommend that you use two devices in Client and Access Point mode respectively to replace the device in Bridge/Repeater mode.

Here you may refer to the FAQ below for the characteristics and application scenarios of different modes on Pharos products.

Hi,

CPE210 supports AP mode, which can turn the wired connection into a WiFi signal.

How to Configure the Access Point Mode on the Pharos device

Tips: If you want to connect to the CPE via WiFi properly, DO NOT enable MAXtream.

Because the CPE210 adopts directional antennas, we need to adjust the orientation to get a better signal coverage.

If you want a device to provide you 360° WiFi signal, we have EAP110-Outdoor and EAP225-Outdoor for your choice.

@Fae  thanks for the reply. I followed the instructions and got it to connect reliably to my network but I have no internet access. I am going to return unit and run a wire to the workshop. Will one of your consumer products turn that connection into a wi-fi signal?
