Model: CPE510  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 20201028

Hello Everyone,

 

I have two CPE510's spaced 200 meters apart to connect a workshop to the network

 

"master" CPE510 is set to Access Point

"remote" CPE510 is set to Client and "lock to AP"

 

Is it possible to get the remote CPE510 to also pass through requests from phones and laptops so these client devices can connect in the workshop?

 

Second question, where can I find definitive instructions on how and what the features of a CPE510 can do:  Bridge, Repeater, AP, Client, etc....  when to use what etc..

 

Many thanks

Oscar

I asked once before, here is the original text below:

 

As the 2nd CPE will work under client mode which means to transfer wireless signal to wired signal, so it will not broadcast wireless signal. If you need wireless signal in the other building, you need to connect another AP or wireless router after the 2nd CPE to broadcast Wi-Fi.

For more details about this application, you can refer to the link below:

As for how to choose the mode, here is indeed the guidance, take a look: https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/2090/
