WG3526 - EM160 4x4 Mimo update settings

[hendo7085]

Good Afternoon!

First I want to thank everyone for your posts and assistance. They have helped so much on my build.

With that said, I do have an issue that i am hoping someone can help.

I have a WG3526 from The Wireless Haven with a EM160 PoE in a The Wireless Haven 4x4 Mimo enclosure. This setup, runs inside to an Archer A7 router for wifi inside the house. I really like this set up and has worked great up until a few months ago. The WG3526 started dropping the signal, mainly under load from what I can tell? I would reboot it and it would be fine for awhile. Then do it again. Maybe a couple of days. I had the 2.20.21 Firmware. I did read that there were a few having this issue as well.

My issue: I tried to update the Firmware to the Global 9/11 update. All worked well, I flashed it 3 times, etc. Everything seemed to be ok. However, my connection from the WG3526 to my router does not have a signal. I unplugged it and plugged it directly into my computer. It doesn't like the network it seems? I think it is a network setting somewhere? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere? I can connect over the wifi no problems, however I can't get a signal through my Ethernet cable. I have tried other cables too. It seems to work fine. I even reverted it back to the 2/20 calibration, and set up the PoE and it works like it did. I am sure it is a setting or something not set up? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Have a great day!

The new WG3526 firmware has to be setup for POE differently than before; new feature in openWRT 21x. The Switch menu has been removed.

I've been meaning to make a writeup.

POE Setup::: Bridge LAN interface with WAN :::: Go to menu: Network->Interfaces->Devices Tab->br-lan - Configure button->bridge ports->add Switch port: "wan"->Save->Save and Apply

@Didneywhorl Thank you so much!!!!

I knew it had to be some switch or button to change it.
