A POE injector connects a POE (power over ethernet) device to your network and supplies it with power. .
Whats on the other end of the POE injector?
That'd be the key.

When the system was installed the tech was glad we had an Orbi system, he said it removed the need for an additional modem as the POE would work directly connected to the Orbi router. Which it has for several months with no issues until now.
Thank you for the definition of a POE which was nowhere to be found on my "troubleshooting" info from my ISP.
Who's your isp?
If you connect the orbi to it in acccess point mode, does it work?
I don't know how to do an access point mode?
My ISP provider is a local company. BOLT Internet. We're rural and have no cable or fiber optic option, and only very poor DSL through a different provider.
an easy thing to try first.
Do you have an old switch sitting around?
If so, connect that to the poe and then connect 2 devices to the switch. if they both work, the access point mode might be a viable option.
