Is it possible to use wifi router as PoE?
This is a picture of my network connectivity.
My PoE is not working properly.
So I am thinking of connecting the Ethernet cable(which is the cable from outdoor CPE) directly to any one of the port of wifi router to supply power for the device.
As far of my knowledge, PoE is a device which supplies power to the device.
My question is "Does power can be supplied by the LAN port of wifi router?"
If it is possible, please tell me how to configure the wireless router to use as a PoE.
One main thing, wifi and other LAN ports should work properly.
Please help me out ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
No that won't work. PoE is specific to the device and will not "hop" through a switch/hub. You can find injectors pretty cheap that will perform what you need just make sure you get the correct voltage for your device. – Optichip – 2015-01-04T13:55:41.250
