You're trying to set up a NanoStation for a small project with just one spare 24V POE power supply. It works fine for accessing its web interface and everything from the host NanoStation, but when you connect devices to the LAN side of the brick it behaves oddly. On Windows, it shows up in the network section briefly and then disappears, while the connection lights flicker roughly every three seconds, suggesting a possible disconnection and reconnection. This could indicate an issue with the POE injector. If the green light on the brick isn't turning on, that might be a bigger problem. It sounds like something needs checking—maybe the power delivery or wiring is off.

Consider testing by connecting all Ethernet cables initially, then powering up the POE brick. This should work regardless of order. Have you got a switch available to check the LAN side?

I would attempt another Ethernet cable first.

I'm sorry for the lengthy response. It turned out to be a poor outcome on the cable, but progress was achieved. Thanks.
