Model: EAP225-Outdoor  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.7.0

the unit fails to connect, as per subject line.  it used to work, but was rather unstable, i had to set it up quite a few times, until the last time, after successful setup in the lab, it failed to connect on site.  brought it back to the lab, but no matter what i try - no connection on RJ-45.  ethernet port on the router will not light, not responding to ping as 192.168.0.254, not picking up DHCP address from the router.  nothing.  reset a number of times to no avail.  has anybody come across this situation, and how to resolve it? 

very frustrating, this has never been a very stable system, since day 1

thank you

Morning

 

Just a quick question, how are you powering this device?    Are you using the injector or straight from switch via POE?

@Philbert 

yes, i was using the OEM supplied POE injector.  it appears that this injector is rather finikey, at times it fails to pass through data traffic.  the problem is - it not consistent, which made the troubleshooting harder.  I hooked it to a 3rd party injector (ubiquiti), suppose the internals are identical.  since then - working OK, no issues, for about 2 days now.  will have to monitor it further, before closing the issue.

i'm working with TP link support, see what they have to offer

In that case it does sound like a faulty injector, hopefully they can just swop it / replace it for you!

 

Best of luck mate and any hassle dont be afraid to reply
