Funbox + PoE + Eth connection

Hello, I have a question about the wired connection.
I have a FunBox 3.0 in the main room and my PC in my bedroom, FunBox is connected not by fiberglass cable, but by ethernet. I have LAN sockets in both rooms and i would like to connect my PC by wire using this sockets.
Here is the connection:
Main room wall socket > Power+LAN socket of TP-Link PoE Injector "TL-POE150S"
LAN socket of TL-POE150S > Eth1 socket of Funbox 3.0

I have the same LAN socket in my bedroom, close to my PC.

When i connect PC to this LAN socket i see "Identification... No Internet connection"

Can i use this socket somehow, maybe i need to buy some device for this?

Are the sockets working?

I believe so.
Do you think it should work as it is, bedroom LAN > PC or should i try to connect my PC to bedroom socket using PoE Injector? Or PoE + Funbox to PC?

@Glut, you were right, i tried to connect bedroom LAN socket > PoE injector > Funbox > PC and
"Internet" diode is only blinking red.
I believe that means there is a connection issue between bedroom and main room and only way is WiFi extender or a very long cable.

@PlusSP 

I am sorry, but the description of your existing and intended connections is confusing.

1). You can not use eth1 of FB3 for anything else but upstream internet connection (WAN). You should leave this connection as-is, do not change the wiring there.

2). You can connect your LAN devices through any of the remaining eth ports of the FB3. This part of the LAN can also be expanded using switches (if you run out of eth ports).

3). How do you know if the bedroom and main room sockets are connected? Very likely they are not. If you want to use the socket in the bedroom you have to know where is its other end - it is certainly not in the main room (the socket in the main room is connected to the internet, not to your bedroom).

4). I suspect (speculation) that there is a box in your apartment somewhere, with both cables (from the bedroom and from the main room) terminated in sockets. The cable coming from the main room is either connected to ONT there, or (more likely, because this PoE injector is there to power something outside of your apartment with your electricity - sound like the ONT located closer to the fiber box located outside of your apartment needs this power) just extended to the externally located ONT. The cable from the bedroom is likely simply not connected to anything, and terminates in a socket (in that box). Now, the intention was to have the router in that box, and then all cables form the box could be used: external for WAN (to FB eth1), bedroom and main room eth2-4. Why was this not done? Most likely not enough room for FB in the box. There is very little you could without rewiring (second cable form the main room to the box would be needed, where it could be joined with the bedroom cable), unless you could actually stick FB in this box (you have to find it first).

@PlusSP This TP-Link PoE is only half of the set. You'll need to find the other half and double-check the cables to the bedroom. If you had a utility cabinet with cables from both points in the apartment, the local PoE would probably be hidden inside. I assume both cables go outside the apartment, but that also needs to be verified on-site.
