EAP110-Outdoor - Does it require a LAN connection plugged in all the time?

2019-09-30 11:30:33

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?

Yes, the EAP110-Outdoor requires a LAN cable connection to work. It's an access point, not a repeater.

@dnelms61

I'm having the same problem - thanks for posting.

By all accounts, I was led to believe by the retailer that I would be able to connect to the internet wirelessly.
