Model: EAP110-Outdoor  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version:

Just purchased the EAP110 to extend my wireless network outside further. There is a Passive POE adapter that I can plug in an outdoor outlet and run the CAT5e Shielded cable to the device. Problem is, after connecting the LAN on the POE adapter to configure the EAP110, once you remove the LAN cable, the EAP110 is no longer trying to connect to the router DHCP to get an address for wireless. My devices can see the EAP SSID, but can't establish an internet connection. 

 

Am I missing something or did I purchase a product that requires the LAN cable be connected all the time?

There should be something wrong when you instll the EAP110-Outdoor, please refer to the QIG of the EAP110-Outdoor, I think this document should be useful for you.

@dnelms61 EAP110 requires a lan connection to pass data back to the network. It cannot be used over mesh if that was your intention. EAP225 outdoor supports mesh but you would need another EAP225 connected to the lan to act as the base node.
