Hey guys, what's going on- having a really frustrating issue right now.

So I have two TP-Link CPE210 outdoor wireless antennas- they're supposed to be a pretty sweet point to point solution and they have been working really well. Till today I noticed that one of my AP's is incapable of maintaining a wireless client for more than a few seconds before it drops and reconnects meaning that the distant end AP is incapable of connecting to it.

 

I don't think it's a temperature issue, because while it is on average 110f where I am every day these units are rated up to ~150f and this unit gets more shade than the other.


I understand this is a niche product but has anyone experienced anything like this before? I've tried everything from updating firmware, restoring to factory defaults, messing with the actual wireless settings, and nothings worked. Really on my last straw with this thing.

 

Best- Jack

So you have two CPE210 units pointed to each other in a PtP wireless bridge?

 

How high are the 2 units off of the ground? Any physical obstructions in between? Look at page 16 of the manual: you need to mount these units in direct line-of-sigh and high enough so that the Fresnel zone is clear of any obstruction.
