Do you need a PoE switch to power or will a regular router/switch do the trick?

Yes you need to have a POE device, you don't have to buy a new router/switch though. You can buy an injector such as this one TP-LINK TL-PoE150S Gigabit PoE Injector Adapter, IEEE 802.3af compliant, Up to 100 meters (328 Feet) I did a measurement on the load of this device and with everything hooked up it draws about 4.5 watts and with the LEDs enabled it bumps up to 5.5 watts. This is your best low cost choice. If you want, there is also a barrel power connector pig tailed onto the camera. But it doesn't come with a power supply and I don't really know what the power requirements are. You would have to buy the power supply after finding one that works.

A wireless router is ok. Contact tech support on how to do it when the time comes

You DO NOT NEED PoE switch. If you do not have PoE you need to supply a separate 12V, 1/2A power supply (Not provided). Mine came with a male adapter that you can use if you elect to hard-wire a 12 V power supply.

Actually Luc Roy, Your wrong... This switch can be powered from a POE switch. I plugged this switch into a Meraki 24Port POE switch this morning and was using 7W of power to power the switch. It Than also powered to Access Points. Hope this helps.

Yes, you are going to have to use either POE adapter or purchase a separate power cord

Yes for this model but remember that it will auto power Poe camera and other standard Poe device but it will not power any assess point that use passive power like mikrotek and Ubiquiti. Beside this issue the switch is a great product and netgear Support is very helpful in getting you up and running if you need the help

Yes, but you may have to configure the POE switch for always on operation for that port since your non-POE access points can't perform 802.3af negotiation.

Yes. Each device comes with a PoE adapter that can be plugged into a standard outlet. The adapter is a way for you to provide PoE to the device without a PoE switch.

This is a switch. What you do is plug an Ethernet cable in one of the Non-POE ports and into your router's lan port. The 4 POE ports are for powering camera's, IP phones, etc...

They don't provide POE. If you have a network switch that provides POE, (like I did) it will not work. You must connect them to a power source

What do you want to use this unit for (extender, access point, bridge)? This unit comes with a POE injector (Power Over Ethernet), so you will need two Ethernet Cat5 cables. One from your switch(router) to the POE injector (data only) and a second one (POE + Data) to the unit itself. The POE injector comes with its own power supply which supplies power to the unit as well.

That is correct. The tough switch has a special power adapter that powers the switch and the switch powers the access point POE. You will need a data cable from the tough switch to your router for communication purposes.

Hello Steve:This device allows you to send electricity (power) to the Access Point, using the same Ethernet patch cable, from the switch to the Access Point.This way, there will be no need to connect it to an electrical outlet. Please note that the switch has to be capable of supporting inline power over Ethernet (POE).

Sorry I clicked the wrong button. The answer is NO. You would only need the POE switch. I am using this camera with the $40 TP link POE switch for a few days and so far is working well.

I use a POE (Power Over Ethernet) switch. this should work if you have nothing else like it: TP-LINK TL-SF1008P, otherwise you can get a big 24 port switch and have it power more of your office equipment. Not sure on just a regular power supply though.

Yes it does. The power cord is notched as it is specifically rated to handle the POE load from the switch. You must use the power cord supplied.

It is a passive switch. The only thing this unit does is to provide power via POE.

No it will not. It is only a switch. You'll need a router to do the DHCP. Being able to do POE over the 5 ports is very handy on this switch though.

This Poe switch is "passive: type not the tradition PoE you find on most Cisco, Netgear, HP and typical big name products. so if your WAP need "passive" PoE this should work.
