Model: TL-WA901ND  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 3.16.9 Build 160929 Rel.37753n

Lately, my TL-WA901ND access point requires frequent reboots to allow devices to reconnect. I've set it up to be powered by the POE injector, so I simply unplug the Ethernet cable, reinsert the cable, and once it reboots, connections are restored. But, I've needed to reboot this almost daily during the last week.

I'd appreciate some advice as to how to resolve this.

TIA

If your ethernet cable is too long this could be due to a voltage dropout over the cable.

Try powering the AP by the external power supply and test if any improvement.
