LB1111 not starting after Poe power loss

Question

When i power the LB1111 via PoE everything works fine as long as i done unplug the netwok-cable an replug it into the netwok port.

the lb1111 doesnot power on. i have to depress and press the power botton so that it powers on again.

the same problem occours when switch the power via the poe-switch off for a short period. or when the switch losses power or reboots.

is this a general problem with the device?

when attached to a 12v power-supply it immediately powers on after power-loss

Huawei&nbsp;B593s-22&nbsp;Far from perfect because it is not able to do bridging and does weird things with sip-traffic when you do not know how to configure it right but the weak-signal performance is much better. even with very strong signal i get better pings.&nbsp;i also tried antennas on my lb1111 but i was not too impressed with the performance also. but this may also be the fault of the cheep cineese-type antenna.&nbsp;LB1110/LB1111 is only an option when you need bridging - in my opinion. for that its a good device&nbsp;

Anyone would have any comment on this point ?

I have the exact same issue, and I find this completely silly. One of the interest of PoE is to put the device into a "remote" location, ie not necessarily accessible (in my case in a waterproof casing, mounted on my external wall). And sometime we need to perform a power cycle to reset the device, which would be practical if I did not have to open the casing (climbing on a ladder) just to press/depress the power button.

I bought a PoE version precisely to allow external placement in the casing, I now have to use an external PoE injector (and it works fine in that case), but that requires a bigger box, and completely kills the point of having a PoE version.

Thanks for any comment

I had to do an RMA. I have a second device so the problem was easy reproducable. The PoE part of the LB1111 seems to be crappy.&nbsp;

&nbsp;So the unit you got in exchange did not exhibit this problem, or is this a problem which affects all LB1111 (and you simply got a refund) ?&nbsp;If I go through Amazon to replace it, I might get another unit which exhibit the exact same behaviour ...&nbsp;Regards

The unit got exchanged and now it works.&nbsp;i did googling before i contacted netgear and found some user-reports that the poe of the device seems sensitive to cable-length, cable-type,...&nbsp;&nbsp;But now my two units seem to work.&nbsp;&nbsp;But this does not help with the fact that the device is not a very good lte-modem. the signal on nearly any other device i have is way better.&nbsp;
