EAP625-outdoor set up
Hi,
I have an mesh network set up which consists of Starlink internt Connected to ASUS AX5400 (574+4804Mbps) Wireless Dual Band RGB Wi-Fi 6 Router, which connects to,
5 Zen Wifi XD5's. I bought a TP-Link EAP625-Outdoor HD WiFi 6 Access Point to extend the signal of the network as a couple of the XD5's on the further away end of the network have a weak connection. The EAP625 is hardwired ethernet to the router. I understand that I need a PoE switch for the EAP625, although I had thought it was integrated in to it. Would I connect the PoE switch at the router end of the system? I would only need one or potentially two ethernet lines powered so would a basic two port PoE work? Do I neeed to make any changes to the setting sof the EAP625 and would this be done in the ap? Currently I have three ap's controlling the newtwork, asus, tp link and starling, seems like there's a good chance of some conflict popping up...
You can power up EAP625-outdoor with a passive PoE adapter on 48v as well and skip buying a PoE switch:
The PoE injector is simple, non-configurable device. You just simply connect it to your EAP and router. The important thing is to connect proper port to proper device.
LAN port goes to router, that's where the network traffic from router will be going in/out.
POE port goes to EAP, that where network traffic enriched with electricity to power up EAP will be going in/out.
After that, once EAP boots up, it shall start to work. Then you can access it via IP and configure as you pleased.
