EAP615 Wall issues, Powers on but doens't connect and/or negotiates to 100Mb
I recently decided to switch my home networking setup to full Omada. I wanted to be able to have separate VLAN's for normal, Iot and Guest networks. Also have a fairly big house so liked the idea of having legit AP's rather than using multiple wireless routers as AP's. And another big plus was the wall AP's having built in ports.
Bought everything from amazon, ER605, TL-SG2210MP, OC200, 2x EAP620HD, 2x EAP615-Wall. The wall AP's arrived a day after everything else. So I already had the router, switch, controller and 1 620HD hooked up and working when the wall AP's arrive. Got to work setting up the first one, love how easy it is to just adopt it and have it auto configure. But then the problems started, I was only getting 100Mb. Did a lot of troubleshooting and led myself to believe there was an issue with AP, even though sometimes(plugged direct into the switch with like a 7 foot cable) I could get it to negotiate to 1000Mb. The last troubleshooting step was to try the 2nd wall AP in the same spot the first one having issues. It connects and negotiates to 1000Mb with no issue.
I keep working with the 1st malfunctioning 615 Wall AP and again it will connect at 1000 when I connect it to the switch with a cable that's not in wall. So I figure lets try it in the bedroom where it is meant to go. In the bedroom it powers up but will not connect in the interface(shows disconnected). So then I bring up the 620HD and the 615 Wall that is working fine to the bedroom. 620HD powers on and connects without issue. The "good" 615 Wall powers on but again does not connect. Brought the "good" 615 Wall back to the basement and it works fine down here.
All the cables in the wall are Cat 5e. The bedroom cable may be the longest run in the house, but should still be well within the maximum length for Cat5e.I'm not real familiar with POE, like if it puts extra strain on the cable and maybe the cable in the bedroom just isn't up to the task,but if that were the case then the 620HD wouldn't work. I looked up the power requirements for both the 620 and 615Wall and I think they both draw 13 watts so I am at a loss as to why the wall AP's won't connect in the bedroom?
I really like this setup, but not gonna lie those wall APs with the built in ports were a big draw for me. If I can't get them working then I'll probably have to return the entire setup unfortunately. Any help would be appreciated.
