Model: TL-WA901N  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have a wa901n which I am using as a WAP, I have run a cat5 armoured cable (approx 50 meters) to an out building which is connected to my router, I am using the POE (i have also tried without the POE) however the middle light flashes and the connectivity drops, when I connect the wa901n direct to my router using the cable that came with it, it connects fine, all 3 lights stay on and I am connected. I have checked the cable and I know that is fine as I can plug it into my laptop and have internet access. What am i doing wrong?

Most probably the ethernet port of the 901n doesn't like the cable that you've made.

What you can do is to re-crimp the cable from the 901n side and if the issue persists re-crimp form your router side as well.

It's a good idea to use a cable tester to check the connectivity.

These ports can be fastidious sometimes.

@terziyski do you think sending it back and getting another may resolve the issue?
