I have several EOR7550 units. By default these units come configured as Client Bridges. I believe the intended operation is to have these dual radio units configured as A) MAIN AP with Radio 1 and 2 as AP, and B) use additional EOR7550 units as REMOTE extenders, operating in Client Bridge mode. Radio2 would operate on B/G/N (severing users) and Radio1 would operate on 802.11a and use CB (Client Bridge) mode to relay data back (BACKHAUL) to the main AP. The MAIN AP would also serve local users on Radio2.
I have documented to Engenius Support, a FLAW in the EOR 7550 firmware that will cause a problem if you use more than 1 remote unit to connect back to the main AP. I have a system of one EOR7550 operating as the base/main unit, using Radio1 and 2 as AP. I then have 5 more EOR7550 units operating in the Factory DEFAULT mode of Radio2 being the Client AP (B/G/N), and Radio 1 (the 5 Ghz 802.11a) used in the CB (Client Bridge) mode for backhaul.
I have an issue where the units are not correctly responding to ARP requests, causing DUPLICATE IP error messages showing up on users computers (rendering them useless). I have shown Engenius Tech Support the TCPDUMPs, and have extensively documented what I believe the flaw is. (The EOR 7550 sends an erroneous ARP reply back to the client side of the bridge, which causes users computers connected to that remote bridge to detect duplicate MAC/IP numbers on the AP net.) I can document this to anyone who cares.
Engenius Tech support has REFUSED to acknowledge the problem and says the unit is performing according to the design. I question the design and have submitted proof that the units are NOT working correctly in the intended Factory DEFAULT operational mode of the EOR7550 which is Client Bridge mode.
Since Engenius won't help me, I want to appeal to anyone in the Engenius community at large and ask if anyone is using EOR 7550 units in a network with more than 2 units? (The problem only shows up with 2 or more REMOTE APs)
Also, has anyone tried the WDS mode of the EOR7550? I am only able to get 4.5 Mbps throughput, whereas Client Bridge mode will yield FULL BANDWIDTH (I get my full 10 Mbps ISP bandwidth in CB mode).
Thanks to anyone who can shed light on this matter, since Engenius tech support has given up on me.
