NOTE as at August 2026

This device is so unreliable with the devices dropping off the network and reappearing with no explanation, and the management software so primitive, I have completely given up on this product and purchased a pair of TP-Link CPE510's.

Warning Notes

NOTE 1: After restoring the factory settings, the IP address of both CPE devices is 192.168.0.1. This is different from the IP address on the label on the back of the CPE devices.



The "Master" unit is labeled "192.168.88.25 AP" is at 192.168.0.1 after pressing the reset button.
The "Slave" unit is labeled "192.168.88.26 Client" is at 192.168.0.1 after pressing the reset button.

NOTE 2: After changing the password from "admin" to one more secure, I did a reset and the password remained unchanged and was not reset to "admin" as the forget message in the configurator suggested. Make carefull note of any password changes you make:



The "Master" unit is labeled "192.168.88.25 AP" is at 192.168.0.1 after pressing the reset button.
The "Slave" unit is labeled "192.168.88.26 Client" is at 192.168.0.1 after pressing the reset button.

CPE (Customer Premise Equipment), literally translated as Customer Premise Equipment, is actually a mobile signal access device that receives mobile signals and forwards them with wireless WIFI signals. CPE is a device that can convert high-speed 4G/5G signals into WiFi signals, and the number of mobile terminals that can support the Internet at the same time is also large. CPE can be widely used in rural areas, towns, hospitals, units, factories, communities, etc. It can be used for wireless network access, which can save broadband costs and eliminate wiring links.
