If you have installed your WAX650S access point AP and recognize that the limited power is on, the likelihood is that it requires 802.3bt (max 60W) of PoE to ensure full power mode.

 

If the WAX650S uses IEEE 802.3af PoE or IEEE 802.3at PoE Plus, the limited power mode of it will be activated because the WAX650S requires 31 Watts to ensure the full power mode that enhances the throughput.

 

The LED lights could also indicate that it's in limited power mode:
