How do I determine if I need this injector? If I do need it, can it be hooked up at the source rather than at the ubiquiti wireless access point?

I believe you will need an injector, though I'm not familiar with all the ubiquiti WAPs and you didn't mention which one you're going to use. When I purchased a ubiquiti bullet, it came with a POE injector. This was not clear from the product description so I had ordered one separately. However, the one with the bullet had the ports flipped relative to the orientation of the airGateway I wanted it connected to. For this reason I kept the extra POE injector I ordered, which served a similar function but fit the airGateway much better.

You will need a POE (Power Over Ethernet) injector for Any Ubiquiti wireless equipment. The POE is generally located at the base or control point of the system and power is then fed up the Cat cable to power the radio equipment on your tower, pole, whatever. I would suggest getting the 24-Volt Version and if you are running the ONE GIG equipment, be sure and get the ONE GIG rated power unit.

You will need an injector for the Ubiquiti WAP. It isn't important where you hook it up. I use five of these in my network and place the injector close to the power source of three of them near the system the WAP is serving. One has a 25' distance from injector to WAP while the rest are 8' or less. The Poe provides the power needed over CAT5 cables. Since not all the wires are used in most WiFi networks the idle wires are used to power a Ubiquiti WAP.

If you are using this with the "Bullet" then it must be connected directly to the Bullet (it powers the bullet via CAT 5 cable).

Yes. It came with a 'cost effective' PoE injector. Don't expect to get the 300 foot Ethernet distance limit out of it. But it works!

It comes with a small passive PoE injector and power supply. However note, that Ubiquity (for reasons known only to them) do not use standard PoE. If you want to use the device with a PoE switch, you will need the Ubiquity adapter (separate $20 part) that will convert 'Real' PoE, into what Ubiquity uses.

I think you mean that your Ubiquiti Wireless Radio is a 5 GHz radio feeding an antenna built for 5 GHz WiFi. If you are using an Ubiquiti Bullet as a radio then you need a POE device that will deliver 12 watts. The UBiquiti Bullet operates on 24 Volts. Ubiquiti's specs state that a Poe delivering 24 volts and .5 Amps is recommended. Check out Ubiquiti at their web site as recommended by J. Canfield.

You can use it as a client or access point. It can be set as a repeater via was. But that will only work with the m5 line of ubiquity equipment.

I did buy the Ubiquiti Unifi AP Outdoor with dual antennas and it did come with a POE injector. It was somewhat larger than the ones that come with my indoor APs from Ubiquiti.

Is this question in reference to something else? I don't know what "wireless issue" you're talking about. And, no, the booster doesn't have to be plugged in to anything but an electrical outlet.

When I received this injector, it came with a "POE Reverse" adapter for some Cisco phones (cant remember their PN). I guess you may find more details in their website (wifi-texas.com).

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)

Yes, every Ubiquiti device that I purchase from Amazon had an individual POE injector with it. Please note that Ubiquiti uses a different voltage then other common POE manufactures. I tried to used this camera with a Netgear POE switch, but it didn't work. I had to use the enclosed POE injector.

The injector can be placed near your router or switch (where there is power), from there, a long run of cat5e cable to the camera. My cameras are in my attic where there is no power and my injector is in my office.

You need a router that provides power over Ethernet or you can buy a Poe injector.

If you mean POE then yes. It comes with an injector to place on an ethernet line going to the device for setting up in an area that doesn't have power available.

Hmmm...I have the Air so I have (and did install) the R3 update to that. I don't know that I want to chance bricking the R1, so I'm back to trying a bridge. There's no USB port for the WLAN access point, so I don't know of any other way to bring the signal to the box.Thanks very much for your response.

No, not exactly. Sometimes wireless access points are installed in areas where there is no electrical outlet. The POE device allows the access point to get its power off of the network cable. You would put this POE device near your router or network switch. Hope that helps.

Correct but keep in mind, the Ubiquiti AP's come with a ac/ethernet power injector adapter so any switch/router will work.

I know they can be setup as a bridge, a router, or a repeater. The authentication used [between] the devices is WPA2-AES/PSK. They "should" be able to, but I am not a network specialist, nor can I represent or speak for TWC or Ubiquity. I would defer your question to the Ubiquiti Forums. http://community.ubnt.com/ I do not have TWC as a provider, but this is a simple topology on how my network is setup. Site one is my main site and then I have two satellite office locations within a mile and nearly a straight line. Each site has access to the "big network". Each router provides it's own WIFI access. ____________(site 1) __________(big network) __________[router1-wifi] _________________| _______&lt;Ubiquity Access Point&gt; _________/_________________\ ____(site 2)______________(site 3) &lt;Ubiquity Station&gt;______&lt;Ubiquity Station&gt; ________|______________________| __[router2-wifi]_________[router3-wifi]
