What is the Max length of Wired AP?
Currently I have 50m wired AP connected to my home, anyone here know the max length of cable for wired AP?
Thank you :)

Welcome @Mellx1,
Are you using the mid-span power injector or a PoE switch?
The Ethernet spec for 1 Gbit/sec over Cat 5e and higher is 100 meters.
BUT, PoE does not generally travel that far reliably. The exact PoE distance depends on which PoE voltage spec is used, the exact input voltage range, quality of wire, etc. Generally speaking, many folks recommend limiting the PoE distance to ~40-60 meters.
If you are using the midspan injector, then you could go say ~90m from the switch to the injector, and then another 5-10m from the injector to the AP.
