EAP245 failed to get IP address
Hi
New to WAP
I have the EAP245 with POE plugged into a PowerLine Adapter in an outbuilding. I can see the TP-Link available but when I try to connect with a tablet or laptop it says "failed to get IP Address".
I have done the following troubleshooting:
In the house I plugged the EAP/POE directly into my modem and I can connect to the TP-Link no problem.
In the house I plug a PowerLine adapter in an outlet. I plug the modem into that PowerLine adapter via Ethernet cable. I plug a Second PowerLine adapter in an outlet in another room of the house. I plug the EAP/POE into the second PowerLine adapter via Ethernet cable. I can connect to the TP-Link no problem with a tablet or laptop. So I know that the EAP245 can work through PowerLine adapters.
In the outbuilding I plug the PowerLine adapter in an outlet. I connect the laptop directly to the PowerLine adapter via ethernet cable. I have a LAN connection to the laptop no problem.
The problem occurs when I connect the EAP/POE into the PowerLine adapter exactly like I did in the house. I get the error "failed to get IP address". I know that the signal from the modem reaches that outbuilding because I can connect directly to it from the Laptop via ethernet cable into the PowerLine adapter.
How do I fix the failed to get IP address ? Thank you
