Thanks for your reply.
I do have a modem/router (see attached photos for reference).
The long cable is with good performance, with timing of 1ms between modem/router and PC in tavern.
The point is: why I had been able to set the EX6120 at living room as Access Point (easily following the instructions), connecting it through short cable to same LAN port of modem/router; but I cannot do same thing from tavern through the long cable?
Tks & regards.

So to make sure I have it correct,
The device works fine on a short cable.
the device doesn't work fine when you run a longer cable.
