Thank you so much for all the details.
Is it possible to modify the 10/100 M RJ-45 network interface settings on the Linksys PAP2T adapter? If possible, please try to fix it on 100Mbps and then check if it can get a valid connection from the BE550 directly.
If possible, could you please try to modify the link speed on a wired computer to 100Mbps, connect it to one of the 2.5G LAN posts of the BE550, then check if the wired computer can connect to the internet properly. You can refer the steps provided in this article to modify the adapters settings on the Windows computer:

Hi @Baxajaun,
There is no clear feedback indicating that the Linksys PAP2T is not compatible with the TP-Link router. You can try to set it up referring to Linksys PAP2T VoIP Adaptor Setup

Hi @Joseph-TP !!!
I've connected Linksys PAP2T adapter to ZTE ZXHN H196Q, and ZTE device TO BE550. All is ok.
But if i connect PAP2T directly to BE550, BE550 doesn't it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi@Baxajaun,
May I know what is the network topology of your devices?
Is it looking like this:
ZTE ZXHN H196Q——BE550
|
|
PAP2T adapter
Do you want to remove the ZTE ZXHN H196Q and build a connection between BE550 and PAP2T separately? If so, after replacing the new router, you usually need to reconfigure the Linksys PAP2T. It is recommended that you consult the Linksys PAP2T support to confirm how to reconfigure the Linksys PAP2T?

Hi @Joseph-TP !!!
Thanks for your response.
This is the network topology now:
BE550 ---- ZTE ZXHN H196Q ---- PAP2T adapter
But if change topology to:
BE550 ---- PAP2T adapter
BEE550 don't detect PAP2T adapter.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @Baxajaun,
Are you testing the Ethernet port of the PAP2T adapter to see if it is working properly? Have you tested other clients on the same port?
Is the PAP2T adapter assigned an IP address? Could you provide your test steps and screenshots of the results?
Please go to the BE550 management page to check the Ethernet status page. Go to Network Map--Archer BE550--Ethernet Status. If possible, please provide screenshots.
Please check the BE550 DHCP list to see if the PAP2T adapter is in the client list and the corresponding IP address. Go to Advanced--Network--DHCP server--DHCP client list.

Hi @Joseph-TP !!!
Sorry for delay.
Here you are :
PAP2T connect on Port 1
ZTE H196Q connected on PORT 1 and PAP2T connected to ZTE H196Q
Thanks in advance.
