Im trying to get a NanoStation going for a little project. (I only have one spare 24V POE brick). It powers the NanoStation just fine, as I can access its Web UI and everything (from its host NanoStation). When I plug anything into the LAN side of the brick, it starts acting strange. On windows it keeps popping up in the network section for about half a second and then dissapears, and the link lights flash every 3ish seconds (like its disconnecting and then re-connecting momentarily) 

 

Is that a sign of a bad POE injector? 

 

If it matters the green light on the POE brick isnt coming on

 

Sorry this is completely incomprehensible

I'd try a different ethernet cable first.

Weird,

Try plugging in all of the Ethernet cables in first then providing power to the POE brick. It shoudln't matter but it is worth a shot.

 

Do you have a switch you could plug the LAN side into see if you get the same result?

Sorry for the long reply. Ended up being a bad end on the cable. Progress was made though.

 

thanks
