KuWfi 900 Wireless Bridge

[Jenki]

I have a KuWfi  CPE200 wireless bridge between a house and a Barn approx. 500m away this has been working for around 8 months  with the only issue of connection loss after power cuts, and this was a simple task of timing the switching on the POE injectors.

 

Yesterday the internet stopped working on the client end.  (we have been having some issues with slow internet via FTTP, so wonder if some setting have been changed and there is some cache setting in the bridge)

 

The main issue I have is I cannot seem to log into the host and client part of the bridge . my setup is loosely as follows. with the client end connected to a TP Link A1200 access point.

  

The bridge Host has an IP address of 192.168.188.253 and the client 192.168.188.100.

When I try to access the either of the settings I just get "site unreachable."

I'm sure its to do with IP settings but to be honest my network knowledge is limited and I'm lost at this point - Any help where to look?

My PC settings are:

Automatic

 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.56.1(Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

but have tried setting to static IP 192.168.188.100 -with the same results

It would appear that your DHCP up pool has changed from 3rd octet 188 to 56.  

Given the subnet address your wireless bridges are on a different network than the PC.

 

Is the switch a simple unmanaged switch? Ie no config on it, just plug cables in and it works?

I use these for my DHW switching. ASHP remote from cylinder. Not internet connected.

@vfrdave The bridges have the IP address fixed (its written on the case. )  for testing I've connected the host directly to the router via the POE injector. the pc is connected to the router via an unmanaged switch.

 

I tried changing the IP address on the PC , but this is where I get lost.

Update: I connected the PC via a Lan cable to the LAN port on the bridge, changed the IP address to static 192.168.188.200.

Then logged into the host on 192.168.188.253, this worked and I could login, so followed a  YouTube video to reset them and link via a mac address.

 

The issue I had is that you can switch between Host and Client via a micro switch. on one CPE I could log into either the Host 192.168.188.253 or the Client 192.168.188.100, but the other unit was struggling either way, I changed POE adaptors and cables but no help resetting the other CPE, I then connected to the working one logged on to the admin page, but before I logged in, I  switched the cable and it tricked it? it allowed me to log in, so reset by following the video linked & paired the 2 units.  - I hate this type of stuff..........
