Does it have to be powered via ethernet cable or is that just an option. Can I plug it right into the wall outlet?

Both..... it is powered via a normal outlet BUT it still needs one Cat cable from from the main router to this one to function as an access point... BTW it works like a charm

I use mine with the wall outlet adapter. I do not believe that this device even supports POE.

Brian, Ethernet cable is an option, along with Powerline Adaptors that can be plugged into the wall outlet. Amped comes with the Ethernet cable but the adaptors are an extra cost.

Magicjack plus just came out. You can plug it into the wall and then connect it to the ethernet and it will work when the computer is off.

It just plugs into the wall outlet. I hope that is helpful. Maybe I'm not understanding, let me know.

Yes you can Plug, not pug anything into it just like any type of screen or monitor. You do have to plug it into a wall for power..

It must be plugged in with the included power supply (wall-wart) -- it cannot receive power over ethernet like some cameras, and there is no internal battery option.

No. The power supply is not included. We are using POE (Power Over Ethernet) to power the unit.

No. This unit is powered by a USB connection to a device (computer, etc.), not from a wall outlet.

This device connects via usb port on yr pc. It doesnt connect via Ethernet if thats what ur asking. One option of having Power over internet use is buy using an Alfa r36 wifi repeart/Router : Alfa R36 802.11 b/g/N Repeater and Range Extender for AWUS036H " which could be gotten here. With this device you could use ethernet aswell.

Yes you need to plug it into the wall outlet. It's a great product and cheap.

Yes, the POE injector is the power supply. It plugs into the wall with a standard 3 prong North American plug. It also has two Ethernet ports. One is connected to the router/switch/hub and the other is connected to the Access Point. This is important to remember because you need extra cables.

My apologies, Larry I miss informed you. It does come with a power cord, but does NOT come with an Ethernet cable. This comes from the "Quick Install Manual" on the On-Networks website.

Powered by usb. Has used ethernet for connecting to client device so should be universal. (usb is also used to connect to it PC which is necessary to set it up with your wireless network settings)

It plugs straight into the wall. It has foldout prongs to stick into outlet. No need for power cable.

Yes, it absolutely plugs into a standard wall outlet. The usb plug comes away from the standard plug as an option.

No, this allows you to power a compatible EnGenius router or access point using the ethernet cable you are already using to send data too/from the unit to your network. In other words, one less cable, or having to locate an outlet near the unit when its installed remote (in corporate installs)

If you cannot wire directly to the AP using an Ethernet cable you could look at doing Ethernet over power line adapters which work very well over your electrical outlets.

Yes, but there is still a power supply that plugs into the end of the ethernet cord near the wall.
