Bricked Pix-Link Wifi Repeater

andimoto · Apr 26, 2020

Hello,

I purchased a Pix-Link Wifi Repeater (USB: LV-UE02) and played a bit around with it. Then I saw a button "wireless - disable/enable" button in the web interface basic configuration. So as a techie I asked myself, "what does this button do with a device, which is only accessible over wifi"

. So of course I had to click on it and test it. I was sure if this is what I think I could reset the device to factory configuration. You can read the result in thread description. The factory reset, which worked before (I made a test), does not work now. So, the repeater doesn't do anything. Just the LED is statically on. No wifi, nothing.
Writing a support ticket to pix-link doesn't work on their website. I just contacted the seller. We'll see what they will reply.

Anyone in this forum had the same problem or even knows a solution for this?

Kind regards
Andi

I also got this repeater, did you get It to work with tello? I have set It up as the instructions. But It does not work, is there an extra step ir something im not doing?

andimoto · May 10, 2020

Hi,
yes and no

. I configured the repeater for Tello Wifi but I only received the videostream. I could not launch the Tello.

Did you ever get it Un-Bricked? I did the same thing back in December and ended up getting a Xiaomi WiFi Extender. It would be nice to get the Pix-Link working.

No it is still bricked. The trader wants to give me back some of my money and that I keep the device...
Is your light also always constantly on?

Now I'm trying the tplink nano router. it also works in "extender mode". but I think that the video stream does not work. I already received some status information.

Yes the green light is on constantly. I would have thought that pressing the reset button would have done a system restore, but nothing. The vendor gave me a full refund and told be to discard the unit.

I got a refund now. I can keep the pix link repeater.

I have it and it works great. I don't know which instruction you used, but the one I found online was faulty.
At the very beginning of the configuration you need to change the IP of the repeater, from 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.20.1 You have to do this because the 192.168.10.xxx subnet is used by Tello, if you have the same subnet in repeater they will have a conflict.

Hello Luktal. Please, instruct how to "change the IP of the repeater, from 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.20.1" Thank you!
