LB1111 not starting after Poe power loss
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 ...
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.
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) ?
If I go through Amazon to replace it, I might get another unit which exhibit the exact same behaviour ...
Regards
The unit got exchanged and now it works.
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,...
But now my two units seem to work.
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.
