I just purchased two CPE210 nodes from Amazon and proceeded to set them up via the Pharos software. All went well until the AREDN install rebooted. Now I cannot connect to either node using the 192.168.1.1 ip. I can ping it and get 100 percent return. I am using a HP Pavilion g6 laptop running Windows 10. I cannot reach the node using MS Edge so I loaded Chrome and now I seem to reach the node but it will not allow connection. Any help would be most appreciated. TNX es 73, Dave K8HMF
Please be more specific.
"I can ping it and get 100 percent return."
This information is helpful.
When you view http://localnode.local.mesh/cgi-bin/mesh with a web browser, what exactly is displayed?

Did you use the fully qualified domain name?
Did you clear your browser's cache?

I too am get the "Bad Gateway" after pushing the "Setup" button. I have loaded The Factor/Recovery File and wish to continue to load the Sys file. I have a TPLink CPE 210 V3.26.. I am using the Windows installation guide and the CMD line to pint 192.168.1.1 with 4 out of 4 success.
Thank you for any help.

Chuck,
I have been following this request. The system will allow me to get to the "NoCall XXXX " page but when I go to the set up page, after typing in 'root'/"hsmm/ this is when the Bad Gateway error is present..
Pushing 'Setup gives the full error of
Bad Gateway
The process did not produce any response.

Ed,
One part of the start up procedure for getting your computer ready says to use 192.168.1.xxx in the checklist step by step it says 192.168.0.100.. the V2 and V3 software will not load unless I use th "0" in the IP address.. however in the check list it states that I need to ping the TP link with 192.168.1.1. no connection.. I am wondering where to go from here..
Brian
P.S> I am using the Tiny PXE
Are all these 'Bad Gateway' messages with CPE 210 v3.26?
Any not v3.26?
Does v3.26 load AREDN v3.22.12.0 ?
Recent Nightlies have an update pertaining to 'Bad Gateway' responses:

Thank you for the support here. I an not getting any version of the TPlink 210 software to load. I will continue to monitor the forums and hopefully we will find a fix.
Thanks again,
Brian

You start with the node's router out of the box at 192.168.0.? and make your fixed ip match for pxe server.
Then you upload factory, it reboots. Now the router is 192.168.1.1 for NOCALL and you have to reset your computer fixed ip to be compatible.
If in Windows you must use BOTH ipconfig to verify your own card settings AND ping to make sure you can reach the other device.
Once you upload the sysupgrade it will reboot then the router now will give you a mesh address 10.?.?.? and you AGAIN change your network card to DHCP and then you start configuring the node with name, password, reboot ... use ipconfig and ping before trying to do anything at each step.
Each time you must unplug the ethernet cable to your computer to force the network card to accept a new setting. Turn your wifi off so it doesn't automatically pickup other networks. For that particular model start from scratch with 3.22.12.0 and see if you can get anywhere.

If you are using the TFTP (PXE-server) method to upload the factory.bin file,
then the AREDN device has no IP address until it gets one from the TFTP server.
You may as well set your TFTP server's IP address to 192.168.1.X, then
you will not need to change your host's IP address for the sysupgrade.bin part.

I think I getting there with the older version of the Factory Bin file, I enter the 192.168.1.1 into the new browser and I get a request for Username and Password. I have not gotten to the No Call page. is there anything needed after the IP address? Ie (/setup, or /admin???) if I put in root/hsmm it gives me "404 file not found"
Thanks
Brian
Unless I'm forgetting something, the next step you DO NOT change password, but use the default password to login to setup and tell it to upload the sysupgrade bin file. It reboots back again to NOCALL then you change the node name and password.
I'm going to guess that a screen shot of each step will be needed ... and sometimes when the devices are acting funny the more experienced folks here will give you the direct address to type to get into the setup page, rather than rely on the links on the gui.
Ed
Sorry for the confusion.. I have added the screenshot.. Image attachment.
Brian
That looks like your computer is still connected to your home/office router and is thinking you want to log into that device instead. You do not do firmware updates while you are on your home or office network and getting an IP address from anything other than the CPE210 itself.

Have a great evening..

Hello, I have a TPlink CPE210 V3.26 that I am trying to flash with AREDN firmware. I've been following the AREDN's instructions as well as a non-IT person can, but I can not get past the initial user/password setup step. The Pharos firmware that came on the CPE210 made flashing new AREDN firmware easy and I installed "aredn-3.23.4.0-ath79-generic-tplink_cpe210-v3-squashfs-factory". It booted and I could ping it successfully and reliably. I pointed my browser (tried both Google Chrome and MS Edge) to 192.168.1.1 and was rewarded with the "NOCALL" screen. I could open the help page and the setup page. However, when I entered the user and password, I get a "Bad Gateway" error message. From then on I can not get back to the enter password screen unless I restart the browser or clear the cache. If I enter the wrong password, it just reloads the page with no "Bad Gateway" error. I take this as a sign I am entering the proper credentials. I've reset the CPE210 (5 second reset) many times but no change. I tried the longer reset mentioned in the firmware help page, but nothing changes. I've seen exactly the same behavior on two Windows 10 computers, one a complex desktop and one a minimal Celeron "hocky puck" with nothing but the CPE and mouse/keyboard attached. The desktop has Avast antivirus which I deactivated, the Celeron has only the basic Win 10 protection. I've tried to flash with TFTP and TFTPD64 no joy, but again, not an IT person and I'm unsure I got all the settings right. I bought a second CPE210 and figure I get one chance to flash working firmware using the Pharos program that comes with the CPE. Any suggestions? I've read through the comments here, lots to learn. Thanks!
I loaded the 3.22.12.0 firmware Ed suggested and the CPE210 us up and running!
