Anyone tried connecting a different device to the intellicenter, my ENS202EXT got water logged. Need to replace. plan to move in the next 10-12 months so just want a cheap solution

If you understand networking you can make a TP-Link wireless bridge work. You need to hack a way to power it by your panel and weatherproof everything.
So I bought a new ENS202EXT off ebay, and I did the factory reset on it, and hooked it up PWR LAN1 WLAN all light up, on the back of intellicenter shows connnection yellow/green.
TCP_ERR basically say no ethernet device found. I bypassed the Intellicenter POE injector and used the one from the ENS202EXT box and same issue. I havent tried swapping new cables in yet, reboot the panel. Still nothing.
Is there some serial # thats linked from my OLD ENS202EXT somewhere thats preventing this new one from working? I thought maybe the Pentair POE injector and original ENS202EXT were serial tied, thats why I bypassed it with the 110v poe injector.
Any advice? help? ideas?
Found this thread, giving it a go!!!

Basically need to switch the default mode to 'Repeater'

Intellicenter Automation Help Needed - FIXED!
Folks, In keeping with my "everything breaks at the worst time" philosophy my Intellicenter WiFi stopped working just days after rotator/bicep tendon repair. Rehab is long-term (4-6 months). I'm right-handed so guess what shoulder? So I'm working left-handed with no right arm and I've...

No, they are not serial number tied.
I found the IntelliCenter to be very finicky in the power on sequence to get the Engenius online. It took me a few power everything down and then power up the IC to get it connected.
Where did you see the TCP_ERR?
Did you try connecting the RJ45 on the PCB with a long ethernet cord to your home network and seeing that basic connectivity work?

Have not tried that yet(long cat5 all the way to IC). I got my new ENS202EXT set to repeater mode and still same error. TCP_ERR when you click search for wireless networks
Got it working. I basically pre-connected it to my network, unplugged it, then plugged it into IC. Worked, back online. not touching it.
