Thanks for the feedback - So I'll need 4 x CPE's  connecting the middle two via Ethernet? 

 

Cheers John

Yes, the best option is to have 4 CPE's, just remember to set the middle ones on different channels and if possible different heights to avoid interference.

 

The other option, which is dependent on the location of each site and the distance is to use a wireless AP with Omni-directional antenna for the relay. The thing is TP-Link doesn't have it and if you mix devices you'll lose some easy installation and monitoring tools.

 

If sites are far from each other and you can afford, 4 CPEs are safer choice and network will be more robust.

Thanks  @RamtinR , as you said keeping with the same vendor will make the config simpler. I'll let you know how I go.

Thanks @RamtinR Ive setup my network and it works great PtP, I'm having a bit of a problem with the signal strength of my AP at the end of the network, is there a way I can increase the signal strength?

Thanks- the alignment is fine it just the wifi network at the end point of my network that has poor signal around the house

Most of the time a Range Extender can solve this issue, but for your network, I need to know your topology first.

  @jmursyd Try looking at the Mesh Options from TPLink for the WiFi.  

 

There seems to be 3 options

 

Deco - Expensive, limited control, but does what it says on the box!

 

OneMesh - Limited Experience, seems to work

 

Omada  - We use this alot for business use, works very well

Based off your statement, it sounds like you are trying to connect wireless clients to the CPE710 at your home. That would not be ideal.

 

The CPE710 configuration should be looked at like one big invisible wire, not as wireless access point for clients. If you are indeed trying to connect wireless clients to the CPE710 at your home, then that is the reason for the weak signal. Add an accesss point, or points, to your router or switch to provide wireless in your home.

 

The CPE710 does have a mode that requires removal of the reflector. The Wi-Fi signal is radiated out of the back. I have never tested that mode but have a feeling it is not going to be ideal.
